The Mumfords of early Va. may also have been Munford, Mountford, Montford, and other variations....

"The name first appeared in the Domesday Book of 1086 with a Hugo de Montfort recorded as a tenant in the Domesday Book who arrived with William the Conqueror from Montfort-sur-Lisle in 1066 and having subsequently founded the Montfort family of Leicestershire and Warwick and whose titles included Duke of Brittany, Earl of Montfort and Earl of Richmond. The Kent Pipe Rolls of 1159 make reference to one Ralph de Munford, whilst Simon de Monteforte of Nottinghamshire and Petronilla de Monteforti of Wiltshire are recorded in the Hundred Rolls of 1273." (Courtesy of Royala Healy on the Munford Web Site)

"One branch of the family originally lived in Norfolk and belonged to the parish of "Mundford". There is still a town of Mundford near Kings Lynn. From church records we find the christening of John Munford at Norwich, St Peter Southgate, Norfolk in January 1574 also the marriage of Abigail Mondeford of Mondeford in Norfolk and Fredric Steward at St Michael Cornhill London in 1621. Also the name means 'of Montford' which is the name of a Parish five miles from Shrewsbury in the County of Shropshire. In time the name turned into Munford or Mumford. Simon de Montfort (Snr) was created Earl of Leicester by King John in 1206. A reference in The Patent Rolls in the year 1323 alludes to a Geoffrey de Mundeford and others of Dorset and Somerset, with two barges, who attacked a ship off Dover, belonging to the merchants of St. Omer, and took said ship to Weymouth where they divided its goods amongst them."

There are other Mumfords in Abingdon Parish, Gloucester Co., Va. See, for example, the following Mary, courtesy of Nanci Presley-Holley, ,

Mary MUMFORD b: 1683 in Abingdon Parish, Gloucester, Va., married: 1703 in Gloucester Cty, VA, Jean (John) De Jarnette, b. 1680 in La Rochelle, France, and died 1703 in prob. Gloucester City, Va. Their child was Daniel DE JARNETTE b: 24 JAN 1713 in Abingdon Parish, Gloucester, Va. This Mary is Nancy's 7th gr grandmother.

There is little doubt of some connection between these two Mary Mumfords. But who was the father of Mary, b. abt. 1645, married John Stevens? Could it be the Edward Mumford discussed elsewhere?

Her grandfather's MUMFORD family lines info: In seeking the father of Mary Mumford, born in Va. in abt 1645, thereare at least two Edwards that apply. The first one, the son of Captain Thomas Mumford arriving in VA. on the First Supply with Captain John Smith in 1607, the other arriving separately on the ship Thomas and John on 6 June, 1635. I Edward Mumford b. ca 1615, married Mary WATKINS, and was a son, grandson or relative of Captain Thomas Mumford . 'Edward Mumford' settled in Gloucester County and later Warwick County. It is said Edward Mumford was also a landowner in York County. A colonial Gloucester County, Va. land deed on 25 September 1679, as well as on the 22 November 1682 in Edward's name has been located.
Edward and Mary are believed to have had at least four children. (Ref: Margaret Ann Butler - 'The Mumford's of Virginia, and of Northern and Eastern North Carolina'): "1635, June: Edward Mountfort arrives inVirginia from England on the Thomas and John ship. He is listed as being 20 years of age. (He may have been the 'Edward Mountfort/Mumford'who lived in Gloucester County, and later in Warwick County by 1685
