Notes

From "George Wythe the Colonial Briton: A Biographical Study of the Pre-Revolutionary Era in Virginia"

Thomas Wythe the Second, grandfather of George, was born abroad in 1670.3 Like his father, he attained the position of a justice of the peace for the county;4 and one report has it that he served as a municipal trustee of Hampton.5 Through his thrice-married wife Ann, the Wythes became connected with many of the prominent local families. Her father, John Sheppard, had been burgess for James City and Elizabeth City for a number of terms in the middle of the century,6 and her brother, Baldwin (d. 1697), was a justice of the latter county with Thomas Wythe the First;7 her first husband was a gentleman who went by the rather formidable name of Quintilian Guthericke, another of the justices.1
Thomas the Second became ill and died prematurely in 1694, just a few months after his father, but not so suddenly that he had not prepared against a fatal conclusion of his illness by making provision for the disposal of his property. His will transmitted to his wife and children tobacco and Negroes; some money which was in England; a tumbler, cup, tankards, and spoons, all of silver; cattle and horses; and household possessions, among which he singled out for specific mention the large looking glass which his father had brought to "Chesterville".2 A few weeks before the second marriage of the widow of Thomas the First, the more recently bereaved Ann Sheppard Guthericke Wythe, after about a year of widowhood, accepted as her third husband Rev. James Wallace, M.D.,

History

William and Mary Quarterly vol 13 No 3(Jan 1905) pp 208-209 states Anne married 3 times: 1- Quintilian Gutherick , 2- Thomas Wythe, 3 - Rev James Wallace

Her marriages to #1 Quintillian Gutherick & #2 Thomas Wythe, are confirmed by the following records found in Elizabeth City County, VA, Deeds, Wills, Court orders, etc. 1634, 1659, 1688-1702 by Rosemary Corley Neal, C.G., 1986:

p. 6: "Probate of the estate of Quintillian Gutherick of this Colony. Commission of Administration granted to Ann Gutherick, relict, and she is to present an inventory at the next Court of Elizabeth City. Petition to Elizabeth City County on 18 Nov 1689. Granted at James City on 4 Apr 1690." p. 84

p. 9 (Pages 90 thru 102 of the original record are missing; the following is continued from missing page 102): ...."The condition of the obligation is such that Ann, the now wife to Thomas Wythe...is granted administration on the estate of Quint. Guthericke, dec'd....above bound Thomas Wythe. No date given. Signed: Thomas Wythe, Jr., Thomas Wythe, Sr. wits: Wm Lowry & Pascho Curles." (Neither are dates given on the next 2 bonds written on same p. 103. The 3rd entry on p.104 is dated 18 May 1692.)

Her 3rd marriage is documented in Elizabeth City Co. Marriage License issued 11 Jul 1695: "Mr. James Wallace, clerk, and Mrs Ann Wythe" (Wills & Administrations of Elizabeth City County, VA, 1688-1800, With Other Genealogical & Historical Items, by Blanche Chapman, p. 161)

Her will written 1739 & proved 1740 as Ann Wallace seems to indicate that only 2 of her several children by these 3 marriages had outlived her--& those two (Ann [Wallace] Armistead & James Wallace) were both by her last marriage.
