EDWIN2 CONWAY (Edwin1), "of the County of Lancaster, Gent," b. pro. Eng. cir. 1640-4; d. Aug., 1698; will dat. Mar. 19, 1698; pro. Richmond county, Sep. 7, 1698.*
He m.
- (I.) cir. 1675-80, Sarah Fleete, [SIC: Walker] [Step] dau. of Lieut. Colonel Henry Fleete, Lancaster county, Va.;
- (II.) cir. 1695, Elizabeth Thompson,! pro. of Lanc'r county. These marriages do not appear among the Lancaster marriage bonds.
Children, first marriage:
- + 4. i- Edwin,' b. —, I681-2; d. Oct. 3, 1763; m. (I.) —, 1704, Anne Ball; (II.) —, Ann Hack.
- 5. ii. Mary, b. Feb. 16, 16S6; d. Sep. 15, 1730, le 44; m. (L) Nov. II, 1703, John Dangerfield; (II.) Apr. 16, 1707, Major James Ball (ball 8, p. 63.)
Children, second marriage:
- -(- 6. iii. Francis, b. —, 1697; d. —; m. —, 1720, Rebecca Catlett.
- 7. iv. Posthumous child, b. 1698-9.
In 1695, before his 2d mar., Mr. Conway, like,Col. Joseph Ball (p. 57), conveyed his estate in part to his children by his first wife, and moved to Richmond Co. His eldest child, Edwin, was then only 14 years old. It is pro. that the land conveyed came to him by his first wife.
Of the second wife nothing is known beyond'her name. Mr. Warner, Clerk of Rich'd Co., writes me (1890): '* I find nothing touching this 2d mar. No Thompson seems to have lived in this Co. at that time. The Edwin Conway that owned large tracts of land in Rich'd Co. was living in Christ Ch. Parish 1681 and 1694."
Mr. Conway was Surveyor of Lanc'r Co., 1679-80. Like Mary Johnson Ball, we must measure Elizabeth Thompson Conway by her posterity. The one gave to the world a Washington, the other a Madison.

John Mottrom's second wife was Ursula Bishe or Bish, widow of Richard Thomson (d. 1649) whom she had married in England prior to 1641. Their children were 1. Elizabeth Thompson, married Peter Presley, Sarah Thompson, married thomas Willoughby (Willoby), and Bish Thompson who may have been a son. (REF: NORTHUMBERLAND HISTORICAL MAGAZINE 1969, p. 22.) The third husband of Ursula Bish Thompson Mottrom was married to the eldest daughter of John Mottrom and contested the will and claims of the widow.
Here is a document which confirms Elizabeth's name and Peter Presley as spouse:
