James Tooke, of Jamestown

Not the same as James Tooke, of Stepney

Disambiguation

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Tooke-443

James Tooke, son of James Tooke and Dorothy Gray of Hertfordshire, and James Tooke of Virginia, are not the same person. Previous research had not identified that James the son of James Tooke and Dorothy Gray was born in about 1620 and was buried 24 March 1637/38 in Stepney, Middlesex, England. There are numerous publications that incorrectly identify their son James as being the immigrant to Jamestown, Virginia.

 General Notes:

He was the son of James Tooke, Esquire and Dorothy Gray of Hertfordshire, England (See notes below and the information from Noel Currer-Briggs, the renown English genealogist.)

//////////////////////////////////////

James Tooke came over on the George and landed at Jamestowne in October 1621 with Sir Francis Wyatt and his party. (His passage was paid by William Spencer).He settled first at James City, where he was living 12 January 1626/7 when he received permission to "remove from the Maine without James City and plant at Mulberry Island." There is no record of his owning land at Mulberry Island. (Adventures of Purse and Person, 1987, page 623).

He was listed in the Muster of 1624/5 as a servant of the Governor living at the Maine in James City and was unmarried.

A grant to William Spencer of James City, later Surry, furnishes proof of James Tooke's coming in the George, for Spencer obtained a grant of 250 acres in 1632, 50 acres of which were on the west side of Lawne Creek, due "in right of James Tooke who came in the George in 1621, the charges of whose passage he defrayed unto William Dunn, carpenter of said ship and 50 acres in right of Joseph Deane who came in the Abigail in 1622 whose passage the said Spencer defrayed unto John Tooke, Mariner". (Seventeenth Century Isle of Wight County, Virginia, Boddie, page 260).

William Spencer of James Island within the Corp of James County, Yeoman, 250 acres on the West side of Lawnes Creek, at the mouth 09 September 1632, page 120. Extending up the Creek S. W.; 50 acres accrewing due in the right of JAMES TOOKE whoe came in the George 1621, right of passage hee defrayed unto William Dunn, Carpenter of the said shipp, 100 acres in the right of Hugh Wynn, and Robert Latchett whoe both came in the George 1621 at the charges of Captain William Pierce whoe in open Court hath transferred the land accrewing by vertue of their passage unto the said William Spencer; 50 acres in right of James Robinson, whoe came in the Charitie whose passage said Spencer defrayed unto Mr. Weston, Merchant of the said ship, and 50 acres in right of Joseph Deane whoe came in the Abigail 1622, whose passage said Spencer defrayed unto John Tooke, Mariner. (Cavaliers and Pioneers by Nugent, Volume 1, page 16; Patent Book 1, Part II.)

In 1630, James Tooke was bequeathed L50 by Christopher Tooke his uncle in England. See the will of Christopher Tooke dated 1630 in the previous section.

December 1634, William Lacey leased James Tooke 500 acres on the east side of Lawne's Creek. William Lacey mariner of Yarmouth in Isle of Wight County for the heirs of Captain Robert Gyar to James Tooke of Warwicksguyoake on the east side of Lawnes Creek (being a neck of land). Witness: John Butler and John Smith (Isle of Wight Deeds, Wills, Guardian Accounts, Book A, page 15, 1636-1767 by Hopkins).

25 July 1642, Thomas Gyer allows the above lease (Isle of Wight Deeds, Wills, Guardian Accounts, Book A, page 16, 1636-1767 by Hopkins).

26 October 1646, James Tooke to Robert Harris, all my right and title to this lease (Isle of Wight Deeds, Wills, Guardian Accounts, Book A, page 17, 1636-1767 by Hopkins). Therefore by 1634, James Tooke was living on the east side of Lawne' Creek, in Isle of Wight County, Virginia.

It appears that James Tooke went back to England prior to 1637 and returned to Virginia in 1637. Early Virginia Immigrants 1623-1666 by George Cabell Greer, page 331, " James Tooke 1637 paid by William Spencer". William Spencer and James Tooke clearly had a relationship as William Spencer had obtained 50 acres in 1632 on the right of passage of James Tooke in 1621.

William Spencer 1350 acres in Lawnes Creek running down the same Sly., Wly. neare the mouth bounded with a small creek to the Nwd, 250 acres running into the woods W. by N. and joining altogether. 10 February 1637 page 521. Transport of 27 persons Robert Stokes, Edward Wilmott, Robert Arnold, Annias Copleston, George Prosser, Nicholas Arwell, Evan Williams, Francis Pearle, William Mitchell, Jon Lewis, Katherine Pierce, Ellen Alice, Anthony Streate, Hector Godbeare, Nicholas Spencer, Jpohn Dodman, Jon Holden, Thomas Powell, Thomas Smith, Thomas Clayton, Jon Matthews, Eliz Nicholson, JAMES TOOKE, Hugh Wynn, Robert Latchett, James Robinson, Joseph Deare. (Cavaliers and Pioneers by Nugent, Volume 1, page 81; Patent Book 1, Part II.)

It may have been that James Tooke returned to England to obtain his inheritance because by 11 November 1640 he had acquired 900 acres in Isle of Wight County, Virginia. By 03 January 1661, his younger child William possessed this 900 acres.

On 14 September 1653 James Tooke patented 178 acres in Isle of Wight upon the head of one of the Black Water branches, near Thomas Pritehart's cartway. This tract was repatented 09 March 1662/3 by Thomas Tooke as due said Thomas and heire of James Tooke." (Adventurers of Purse and Person, 1987, page 623)

James Tooke was a member of the Virginia House of Burgesses 1639/40, and in 1646, and was a Justice of the Isle of Wight County from 1646-1649.

Wills and Administration of Isle of Wight County, by Blanche A.. Chapman 1938, Smithfield, Virginia Page 4 Will of James Tooke: Leg: Son Thomas, the tract on which I live being a Patent of 800 acres, also a Patent called White Marsh and my seal signet ring to daughter Dorothy, the wife of John Harvey who are now at Southward; son William. Executor: Son Thomas D. 01 February 1659 R. 02 February 1662 Witnesses: Thomas Carter Thomas Gwaltney John Harvey was Governor of North Carolina in 1679. 11 September 1664 Nansemond County, Virginia; (Boddie, Isle of Wight County, Virginia, page 262).

The lineage of James Tooke of Virginia is further described in a book entitled: "The Carters of Virginia", by Noel Currer-Briggs, the renown English genealogist, published 1979 by Phillimore, Sussex, England. See pages 25-26, and 96. On page 26, Noel Currer-Briggs states, "The James Tooke who went to Virginia was one of the nine sons of James of the Court of Wards." (Although no baptismal record has been located for James Tooke, Noel Currer-Briggs is clear that James Tooke was " one of the nine sons of James of the Court of Wards".

The full will of James Tooke of Virginia is as follows: In the name of God Amen, I James Tooke of the Isle of Wight County, in Virginia, thanks be to God being in perfect memory do make this my Last Will and Testament in manner and form as followeth. First, I do bequeath my soul into the hands of Almighty God trusting to be saved by the merits of Jesus Christ my Saviour, Redeemer and my Body I do bequeath to the Earth and for that Worldy Goods and Estate that God hath blessed me withal I do bequeath in manner and form following. I give unto my son Thomas Took that tract of land which I now do inhabit and dwell upon- the tract of land is 800 acres as appeareth by the Patent of the said land and I do give this land to my son Thomas with all the Houses or Housing that is upon the same to him and to his heirs forever with all Appurtenances belonging to the same. I give unto my Daughter Dorothy the Wife of John Harvey a Feather Bed and Bolster, A Rugg and Blanket and a Pair of Sheets which is now at Southward in the custody of the aforesaid Harvey, my son in law, another pair of Sheets I also bequeath to my daughter and half a dozen of Napkins and a Table Cloth, a Beer Bowl of Plate. A small silver Draw Cup and a silver Spoon, a copper kettle, a pewter candlestick and a pewter Chamber pot.

On 12 January 1626, James Tooke was granted permission to remove from the "Maine without James City and to plant at Mulberry Island", just south of James City (Jamestowne) on the east side of the James River. In 1635, James Tooke was living at Pashbyhaes in James City County. By November 1640 he had patented 900 acres of land in Isle of Wight County, Virginia. He was a member of the House of Burgess 1639/40 and again in 1646. He was a Commissioner, Justice and Clerk of Court for Isle of Wight County.

(Adventurers of Purse and Person, Revised by Meyer and Dorman, 1987, Tooke page 623; Boddie , Seventeenth Century Isle of Wight County, Virginia, Baltimore 1959, pages 260-262; Wills and Administration of Isle of Wight County , Virginia by Chapman, page 4, Will of James Tooke; The Carters of Virginia, Noel Currer-Briggs, Phillimore & Co. Ltd., Chichester, Sussex, England, 1979, pages 25-26, and page 96 for a lineage chart for James Tooke of Hertfordshire, England.)

(While some authors have questioned the ancestors of James Tooke of Virginia, the renown English genealogist and author Noel Currer-Briggs has researched the Carter family and the Tooke family of Hertfordshire, and has stated without question James Tooke of Virginia was one of the nine sons of James Tooke of Hertford, Auditor of the Courts of Wards and Liveries. The Carters of Virginia page 26.)

(In Colonial Americans of Royal and Noble Descent, Alleged, Proven, and Disproven, by Patricia Ann Scherzinger, Heritage Books, 1996, Bowie, Maryland, Scherzinger finds "proof of alleged royal ancestry of James Tooke lacking". It appears she was not familar with and did not did not take the time to review the premier work stated above by Noel Currer-Briggs.)

Not only did Noel Currer-Briggs spend several years researching the records of the Tooke family of Hertfordshire, but in 2001, I also employed English genealogists to further research the Tooke records of all of England. The BEST evidence I have supports completely the work of Noel Currer-Briggs, and that of Robbie Lee Gillis Ross, who also employed English genealogists for several years (stated above).

In fact there were several wills of uncle's of James Tooke of Virginia who referred to him. See the will of Christopher Tooke, Uncle of James Tooke of Virginia. Christopher Tooke refers in his will to his nephew James Tooke.

THEREFORE TO DENY THE JAMES TOOKE OF VIRGINIA ANCESTRY, ONE WOULD HAVE TO DISPROVE THE "TOUR DE FORCE" WORK, "THE CARTERS OF VIRGINIA", BY NOEL CURRER-BRIGGS.

The Coat of Arms of the Tooke Family of England and Virginia was:

Per chevron sable and argent, three griffins' head erased countercharged. Crest: on a wreath, a griffin's head erased sable holding in his beak by the middle of the blade a sword argent, pommel downwards.

       wife, Dorothy Gray, Ca me to Virginia on the ship George in 1621 or 1637

       (the records differ). He was a prominent Qu aker. In a will proven in

       I662, Isle of Wight Co., Virginia, James Tooke left land and a sign et

       ring to son Thomas. He also named son William and daughter Dorothy who

       married John Harvey , Governor of North Carolina 1678-79. James Tooke was

       a Burgess for Isle of Wight County. Th e name of his wife is unknown to

       me.

       The following inforrnation is from "Genealogical History of the Tooke and

       Related Families" c ompiled by Mary Tooke Rockwell and Ida Gertrude Tooke:

       "There are those who discredit the supposition of Boddie (17th century

       -97 ap. 260-6880) tha t James of Virginia was the son of James Tooke and

       Dorothy Gray of Herts, England.

       "However, it seems to me that the record as we have found it, does

       support the theory that h e was the son of James Tooke of St. Albans,

       Hereford, England.

       "Of course, we have no positive documentary evidence, but this James did

       have a Son named Jam es, one of twenty chiidren.

       "The reason for doubt given was, thc name James was not carved on his

       father's tomb, and is n ot mentioned in his father's will in 1655,

       written seven years before James of Virginia's dea th. However, only

       seven of James of St. Albans children were mentioned in his wlll and they

       s eem to be the younger children, except Edward, who was executor of the

       will.

       There is no record of the death or burial of the youngest James Tooke of

       Herts in the Churc h of Essenden, where his parents are buried, or

       elsewhere."A John Tooke, a mariner of Herts , made a voyage to Virginia

       on the 'Abigail', arriving there in 1622 and received payment fo r the

       passage of a Joseph Deane from William Spencer of Virginia, who had also

       paid for the t ransportation of JAMES TOOKE of Virginia, 1621.

       "This John Tooke may have been a relative of James as the name John is

       frequently found in th e Early American families.

       "In 1660, four more Tooke's, James, Thomas, Nicholas, and John arrived in

       Virginia, and fro m their names evidently were members of the Herts

       family and apparently were grandsons or nep hews of JAMES TOOKE of St.

       Albans and Herts.

       "It is also well to consider in relation to above, what JAMES TOOKE of

       VIrginia named his onl y daughter DOROTHY, the name of the wife of James

       Tooke of Herts, and supposedly the mother o f James of Virginia. Also,

       his sons are named Thomas and William, well known family names.

       "This family (Tooke) had a propensity for naming their children for

       relatives and still do so .

       "It is believed that James Tooke of Virginia was from Herts and if not a

       son was probably a b rother or nephew of James of St. Albans and Herts.

       "In either case, thc ancestry would be practically the same."His (James

       of Virginia) possessi on of a silver signet ring, which he willed to his

       eldest son, THOMAS, and which probably bor e the family Crest, his status

       in Virginia indicates that he was of "family" in England. Als o he was

       Britain t o the American Plantations.
