Elizabeth Walton

Evidence needed to support Elizabeth Walton as daughter of John Atkins & Grace Atkens

From "A Champion lineage":

"EDWARD CHAMPION and his wife Elizabeth had one son Edward. Upon the death of Edward the father, Elizabeth married Joseph Poole, a planter, whose will dated January 8, 1668 and probated the following year on May 3 (Isle of Wight County Deed and Will Book II, page 65) gives his place of residence as Upper Parish of Isle of Wight County and names his wife Elizabeth to receive all personal estate, making her "wholly and solely" his executrix and specifying that "if it shall please God to take her the said Elizabeth...without issue of mine then the said estate to return unto her only son Edward Champion."

From < “MOORE-(WILLIAMS) EXCERPT” >

George Moore George Moore, of Isle of Wight probably lived in England briefly—perhaps first pursuing an education and then on family business interests. On 29 July 1650, when he was only 18, he and his future father-in-law Charles Barcroft Charles Barcroft were on the headright list of John Munger (Nugent, I, 191). As noted above in the material on Barcroft, Moore and his purported brother-in-law Richard Williams witnessed the assignment of Barcroft’s effects in 1654 to his third wife Magdalen and son William, probably a year or so before his marriage to Barcroft’s daughter Jane. On 25 September 1663, George Moore was a headright, along with several Blackwater people, including Ann Wombwell and Joseph and Thomas Poole, of John Harvey who was patenting along the Carolina frontier (Nugent, I, 191, 427). Joseph Poole is noted above as the second husband of Moore’s purported aunt, Mrs. Elizabeth Moore Champion Poole Walton. John Harvey was the son-in-law of James Tooke whose will was witnessed by Thomas Carter, # 8, on 1 February 1659. Concerning the Harvey-Tooke connection, see William Carter, # 2, the note at “ca. 1625/29. A settled career in Isle of Wight probably began for George Moore when his purported brother-in-law Robert Flake conveyed to George Moore land at Blackwater from Flake’s 2,700-acre patent on 20 August 1666 (Boddie, Seventeenth Century, p. 558). Flake and wife Katherine deeded George Moore additional land on 18 October 1669 (Isle of Wight Wills and Deeds, 1662-1715, Vol. I, p. 201). Neither the amounts of land nor any consideration are mentioned. Robert Flake Robert Flake, of Isle of Wight and George Moore were the bondsmen for Mary Skinner, daughter of Katherine Flake Katherine Flake by her first husband, name unknown, as administratrix for Mary’s husband Richard Skinner on 9 April 1677 (Chapman, Wills, p. 104). George Moore had already added to his holdings in 1669 when he patented 1,400 acres on the “2d Swamp” of the Blackwater adj. Captain Wombwell and the Beaver Dam Branch, from whence came part of the plantation of son-in-law his Thomas Carter; one of his headrights was John Collins who became the third husband of the aforementioned Mary Skinner, evidently George Moore’s niece. See Nugent, Vol. 2, p. 57.
