About William Sewell

“Margaret Bland” is not proven as partner of Capt. James Crewes who died a widower with no known wife or living children.

From Harbury, K. E., & the Dictionary of Virginia Biography. James Crewes (1622 or 1623–1677). (2013, September 23). In Encyclopedia Virginia. Retrieved from http://www.EncyclopediaVirginia.org/Crewes_James_1622_or_1623-1677.

“He probably married Margaret Llewellin, who witnessed a will as Margaret Crewes on May 1, 1662, but when Crewes wrote his own will in 1676, he had no living wife or children. He bequeathed property to relatives of Giles Carter, but whether he was related to Carter by marriage or otherwise is not certain.”

Comments

”To my knowledge there never was a Marguret Bland in any way connected to Giles Carter or James Crewes .....just his wife Marguret Llewellyn. Back in 2000 when Shawn Potter was speculating about Hannah Carter possibly being an Indian the names Moriah, Marguret, and Bland weren't in the postings these were added i think by Don Green in his book about 2008.
”William Sewell left his estate entirely to Giles Carter jr. b. 1686 his wife Elizabeth was dead by the time of the will 1725. Don't know her maiden name.”
