• _______________ The Bristow Family

This account will supplement and in some cases correct “Notes on the Bristow Family” by Myon E. Bristow published in Vol. 23 (1942) of Tyler’s Quarterly Magazine; and John Bristow of Middlesex County, Virginia and Descendants through Ten Generations by Gordon Byron Woolley, N.Y. (1969). Each is available in many libraries.

Anne Bristow, youngest daughter of John Bristow (c. 1649-1716) and his first wife Michal (Nicholls) Bristow, married Anthony Seale on December 24, 1720, and eventually settled in Prince William County near Manassas, close to Anne’s older sister 'Michal Bristow Owen' and older brother Thomas. Many descendants of these three families (Seale, Owen and Bristow) migrated through North Carolina into the south and west.

John Bristow married second, Mary, widow of William Carter, and daughter of George and Mary -- Goodloe. Of this marriage Jedediah Bristow married Catherine Tomson and settled in Buckingham County. Of their children Tomson (Thompson) married Nancy Hockaday and eventually settled in Greenville District, South Carolina, where their children (eight sons and two daughters) adopted the surname spelling of Brister. Descendants of this branch of the family now number in the hundreds and live mostly in the southwest. The second child, a daughter Mary, married Christopher Ammon and descendants of this marriage are mentioned in Hancock family history of lower Norfolk, Henrico and Bedford Counties.

Throughout the colonial period each generation sent all but a few of its children into the south and west to establish new families in these areas. A student of these migrations may find their lost genealogies among the neighbors and cousins and in-laws who left Middlesex to establish families and fortunes.
