A Short Biography of Francis Settle
By John Settle August 08, 2008 at 09:12:29 < link >
The following is a short biography of what will most likely be Francis Settle's epitaph if we ever find his grave (which is supposed to be on land that was once his plantation on Totuskey Creek in what is now Richmond County, Virginia).
Sacred to the memory of FRANCIS SETTLE (SR.), the posthumous son of JOHN (1570 - 1623) and MARGERY FRANCIS SETTLE, who was born in 1623 in Potterton, Barwick - in - Elmet Parish, West - Riding, Yorkshire, England.He "emigrated" to Rappahannock County (now Richmond County), Virginia by the 23rd day of January, 1656, his passage being sponsored by the merchant and headright JAMES WILLIAMSON.About two years after his arrival, he married ELIZABETH BRUCE in 1658.With her he had four children: JOHN (1659 - 1738), FRANCIS (JR.) (1661 - 1701), THOMAS (1664 - 1748), and HENRY (1666 - 1702).After his wife's death in 1701, he married his sister - in - law MARY WILLIAMS (widow of RICE WILLIAMS) in 1702.With her he had no children.He died in 1708 on his plantation on Totusky Creek in North Farnham Parish, Richmond County, Virginia, where he had made his home for approximately a half century.He lived to be 85 years of age.
Much of the above epitaph is in dispute, for not many know of Francis' real parents.In the will of John Settle (1570 - 1623), it says that he has one "son or daughter not yet bourne".This could might as well be Francis, for John's wife's surname was Francis, and it would seem fitting to name the son Francis because of that.There is also some arguemnt on whether or not Francis had a daughter.Some say that he did, others doubt it.It has still not been proven.It is also said that Francis and his eldest son John had not been on good terms in Francis' late years.In Francis' will he states in one of the first few sentences "I give to my eldest son John one shilling".There are many other explanations to this and can be found in "The Settle - Suttle Family" (1954) by Col. William Emmett Reese.
