About Hannah Sessums
Regarding Hannah, we find this:
"Hannah, wife of Nicholas Sessoms appearing in Court and relinquishing her right of dower in a parcel of land sold by her husband to George Holly. It is therefore admitted to Record" (Surry Co Order Book 1671-1691, p. 453, 7Br 2d 1684).
Although Hannah's last name is not shown in Surry County records, this deed proves that she was the daughter of Thomas Culmer: "Thomas Culmer, of Surry County, Churchgier [Surgeon], for love and affections gives to his daughter Hannah, now wife of Robert Lane, and to Robert Lane, 300 acres of land at upper sunken marsh, Southwark Parish, Formerly belonging to William Jennings (Cooper), and now belonging to Thomas Culmer. If daughter Hannah dies the land goes to said Robert Lane." (Book I 1652-1672, p 198, 6 November 1662). Hannah is mentioned in a deed as wife of Robert Lane, dated 2 May 1666. (Book I, p. 276). Robert Lane appears on the Tithables (white) for the year 1668, but does not show up on any other Surry County records after this date. This implies that Robert Lane died sometime after 1668, thus making Hannah a widow. Several circumstances support the contention that Hannah Culmer Lane was the first wife of Nicholas Sessoms. It will be shown later that Nicholas Sessoms named a daughter Hannah and a son Thomas, and son Thomas named one of his sons Culmer. The court case below seems to remove any doubt concerning this assumption:
"Eliza Lane having been delivered of two mulatto bastard children which she confesseth were begotten by Nicholas Sessoms’ Negro man, it is ordered that the sheriff during the setting of this court (January, 1690) give her ten lashes on her bare back well layed on and at the next court he give her ten lashes more." (Order Book 1671-1691, p. 77). As this indicates, Eliza Lane was living in the household of Nicholas Sessoms and most probably was the daughter of Nicholas’ first wife Hannah Culmer Lane.
Besides Thomas, only two other Culmers were found in Virginia records. Hotten's Original List or Persons or Quality, page 41 lists a James Culmer (age 22) and a Mathew Culmer as transported to the Isle of Wight County in 1664. (Nugent1 Vol. I, p. 433).
Thomas Culmer first appears on the deed books of Surry County in 1663 (Book 1, p. 33) and continues to be shown in Surry County records until 1662. No further account is given of him in Virginia or North Carolina.

Notes for HANNAH CULMER: Hannah Culmer is the daughter of Thomas Culmer as was shown in a deed from Thomas Culmer to his daughter Hannah Lane wife of Robert Lane in deed boot I page 198 Nov. 6, 1662. Hannah is mentioned in a deed dated May 2, 1666 Book I page 276 and shown as wife of Robert Lane. On the Tithables (white) for the year 1668 Robert Lane's name is show, but nowhere else in Surry County records after this date. It is assumed he died. It is believed that Hannah then married as his first wife Nicholas Sessums. It is shown in a court order Book 1671-1691 page 77 that Eliza Lane (presumably Hannah and Robert Lane's daughter) was living in the household of Nicholas Sessoms. The order reads "Eliza Lane having been delivered of two mulatto bastard children which she confesseth were begotten by Nicholas Sessoms' Negro man, it is ordered that the sheriff during the setting of this court (January, 1690) give her ten lashes on her bare back well layed on and at the next court he give her ten lashes more." Hannah died before 1693 when Nicholas Sessums and his second wife, Katherine were involved in a court suite in July, 1693 Surry County Court. Children of NICHOLAS SESSUMS and HANNAH CULMER are: 2. i. THOMAS2 SESSUMS, b. Abt. 1677, Surry County, Virginia; d. Bef. 1711, Surry County, Virginia. 3. ii. HANNAH SESSUMS. 4. iii. ANN SESSUMS, d. Bef. 1740.
