Thomas Vicesimus Ivey

There was a Thomas Ivey whose Gloucester, England will of 5 January 1631 named his sons Thomas and George. This Thomas Ivey married Maria Aileffe (a name that appears in later generations), and had twenty children, according to the will of his son George. Thomas Vicesimus Ivey was the twentieth child (“Vicesimus” is Latin for “twentieth”, the ordinal of twenty), and was named in the will of his elder brother Thomas Ivey as a “my brother Thomas Vicesimus Ivie.

Although these wills were in England, the “Vicesimus” name is just too rare and meaningful for this not to have been the same person who emigrated to Virginia.
