About Mary Settle
It is reported that the instant Mary had a half-brother William, who owned land on Nominy Creek in Westmoreland Co., Virginia. The 'House of Strother' history by the William Strother Society, Inc., 1993, does not reference Mary as a daughter of William who married Elizabeth ? Nor does it reference her as a daughter of William who married Dorothy Savage. She is placed as a daughter of William (B. 1597) based on reference at the Strother Family page # 1119 at Genforum. Specifically a posting of 10 Nov. 2001 by J. Park - "just the half brother William Strother of Nomini who came from England in 1658, and received land for transporting one person -- possibly his sister Mary".
This land is described as such " William Strother ( the half brother ? ) of Nominy: The land in question was part of a patent of 2 Sep 1669 to Thomas Youell which was sold by Major Thomas Youell to William Strother 25 Mar 1691 (Orders 1690-1698, page 107, Westmoreland Co., Virginia). It lay on the eastern shore of the Herring Branch of Nomini River, opposite the 450 acre patent to Gabriel Odyer (Odgar, Odger, Odier, Odgir, etc.), granted by William Berkley for the transportation of nine persons to Virginia. By assignment 10 Dec 1655, Gabriel Odyer and wife Mary had transferred this acreage to William Strother (Strader, Strudder). William Hardick and Augustine Hull witnessed the signature of Gabriel Odyor and Richard Sturman witnessed the signature of Mary Odyer. The land was described in the original grant as being (Deed Book 1, page 23, Westmoreland Co., Virginia ) ". . . in Northumberland Co. upon the south side of Herrin Creeke Beginning at the said Mouth of the creek extending west along nomony river upon a swamp of the said river south half a point west to a marked black walnut tree standing in a clear field from thence East northerly upon the herrin Creek northwest along the said creek to the place where it began being opposite the land of W. Thomas Vause..."
This 450 acres, plus 50 acres for transportation of one person, had been re patented by William Strother (Struder) 27 Apr 1658 (Cavaliers & Pioneers, Nell M. Nugent, Press of the Dietz Printing Co.,1954, page 371). Nomini Ferry was established on the land of William Strother, which escheated to the Crown following his death, intestate. Less than five miles to the northeast of the land of William Strother, and bordering partially on Buckner's Creek a tributary of Nomini River, was located the land patented August 13,1650 by John Nottram, whose daughter Ann married Richard Wright. Their son, Major Francis Wright, married Ann Washington, only daughter of Captain John Washington, the Emigrant, whose first wife was Ann Pope, daughter of Nathaniel Pope, the Emigrant (Historical Atlas of Westmoreland Co., Virginia (Patents), David W. Eaton, Oak Grove, Virginia, The Dietz Press, Richmond, Virginia,1942, pages 46, 54). The assignment in 1655 by Gabriel Odyer and wife to William Strother is important in that it shows that William Strother of Nomini was in Virginia at a date no later than 1655. Insofar as has been found from the records, he was the first William Strother and the second member of the Strother family to emigrate to Virginia. The first appears to have been Richard Strother (Strader), who was brought over by Richard Bland (Early Virginia Immigrants 1623-1666, Geo. C. Greer, W.C. Hall Printers, Richmond, Virginia, 1912, page 315)." clarksha@swbell.net
However in msg. # 766 on 9 September 2000, Susan Clark points out "according to the book ( Settle / Suttle book by William Reese ), " Mary was the half sister of William Strother who died intestate and childless in Westmoreland Co. His land escheated, and John Settle filed suit for the land on Mary's behalf, and lost.
Another source has suggested that the instant Mary may have been the half sister of a William Struder, who re patented land on 27 April 1658. This William is believed to have died leaving neither heirs nor a will, whereupon the land described was escheated to the crown, and Samuel Baker, marrying Elizabeth, the widow of Struder, petitioned for a patent to the Proprietors of the Northern Neck. This William seems to be a possible half brother of the instant Mary as he 'died leaving neither heirs nor a Will. and John Settle did bring suit against his widowed wife.
Possibly, the instant Mary is the daughter of one of Lancelot's other sons such as John. Obviously, there is a problem here and as such, Mary's actual parents need more investigation.
