Descendants of Daniel LLewellyn
Billie Harris - Jun 9, 2008
There have been genealogies given for Daniel Llewellyn on various public sites, but WHAT DO WE HAVE ON DANIEL LEWELLYN? If anyone can add anything about him, please help, but to me and from what's written, it doesn't appear he left male Llewellyn descendants, but it is possible he had a brother, and I'll go into that information later in another posting:
From the info below, it appears:
DANIEL LLEWELLYN lived near Shirley Hundred in Charles City County, Virginia, having come to Virginia from England by 1642. He died 1663/4 in England. His wife was:
ANN PRICE HALLAM, widow of Robert Hallam. Ann/Anne had died by 1666.
Son - DANIEL LLEWELLYN. He married the daughter of Capt. John Stith. Daniel had probably died by 1701. According to the William and Mary Quarterly, he left no sons.
Daughters - MARTHA JONES and MARGARET CRUZ
Martha married Robert Jones. Margaret's husband was probably James Crewes, merchant, of Charles City County.
Stepson- ROBERT HALLAM
Although not mentioned, Ann had a daughter with Robert Hallam named Sara who married a Woodward.
--------------------
DANIEL LLEWELLYN was of Chelmsford County, Essex, England, and Charles City County, Virginia. He came to Virginia by 1642 and settled near Shirley Hundred in Charles City county. From 1642 to 1656, records show he was a very prominent citizen of said County. His Will dated 6 Feb. 1663/4 in Prerogative Court of Canterbury, England, names wife Ann, son Daniel Llewellyn, daughter Martha Jones, daughter Margaret Cruz, son-in-law (step-son) Robert Hallam.
“The Abbridged compendium of American Genealogy” edited by Frederick A. Virkus shows in Vol. ? page 427:

Robert and Martha’s son, William (1650-1710) married first daughter of James Johnson and second Martha, daughter of Capt. John Pinckard,. William’s son, William, was of St. Joseph’s Parrish, justice, Lancaster Co. 1710, attorney, married Leanna, daughter of Charles (born 1656) and Elizabeth Lee and granddaughter of Col. Richard Lee.
Children of Richard Jones were: (1) Ann Jones (20 Mary Jones, (3) Richard Jones born 1637 England and died about 1670 Charles City County, Virginia. He (Richard b. 1635) married about 1662 to Martha Llewellyn, daughter of Daniel Llewellyn and Ann Price-Hallam.

Abstracts of Va. Land Patents and Grants 1623-1666), page 78.
“Llewellyn received a patent, 27 Oct. 1642, for 856 acres on the ‘upper branches of Turkey Island Creek’ and adjacent to ‘Mr. Ashton’s land’ in which he claimed among 17 headrights. Robert Hallom and Frances Hallom. (See P. 128 of above). As shown in an account of the Hallam family, he had taken over by 1644 the management of their affairs in Va. He served as Burgess from Henrico 1642-1644 and from Charles City 1646, 1652, 1655-6, as Justice of Charles City 1650 and as Sheriff 1656. (See the Colonial Va. Register by Wm Glover Stanard (1902) See page 62, 66, 69, 72. Also Va. Colonial Abstracts Ser. 1 by Beverly Fleet. 34 v. Series 2 by the Rev. L. O. Duvall. 3 v. Both series devoted largely to abstracts of Virginia County Court Records. Page 34 XIII, 76). His will 6 Feb. 1663/64 – 11 Mar. 1663/64 England recites he is Chelmsford, Essex (Eng) planter, bequeaths ‘lands, tenements, hereditaments in Charles Co. in upper part of James River, in Va to wife Anne for life, then to son, Daniell Llewellyn, ‘mentions his daughter Margaret Cruse and her husband’ and son-in-law (step-son Robert Hallam and directs that he be buried in the Parish Church of Chelmsford ‘neare the reading deske’. (See Va. Magazine of History and biography Richmond 1893---) pages 53 and 54. The Martha Jones mentioned in the will appears to have been a sister rather than a daughter of Llewellyn.
“Apparently Ann (----) Price-Hallom-Llewellyn was deceased by 15 May 1666 at which time Daniell (2) Llewellyn repatented his father’s land now became due him as son and heir. (See Cavalier & Pioneers, P. 561) the name David given in the patent obviously is intended for Daniell, since the patent names ‘Daniell, son and heir’; several parcels of land near the 1642 grant to Llewellyn Sr and acquired separately were grouped and a patent for a total of 636 acres issued to Daniell Sr. 10 Mar. 1655, Cavaliers and Pioneers, p. 317.)
“Issue: (There is no record that Daniell Sr. had been previously married; moreover, his bequest of his Va. Holdings to his wife during her life and then to his son is evidence of the mother-son relationship; a son by a former marriage would have received his separate inheritance.
“2. Daniell (2), Justice of Henrico 1681, 1696 (See Va. Colonial Abstracts XIII 95, 102) in 1677 called himself the son-in-law of Capt. John Stith. (See William & Mary Quarterly (1) V111 238). In a dispute over land, 21 Mar. 1683, Joseph Royall gave bond of L. 500 to Capt. Daniell (2) Llewellyn pending the outcome of ta survey of 523 acres, Chalres City. Presumably Daniell (2) was deceased by 1701 when 2 of the original witnesses, William Randolph and Frances Epes, acknowledged the bonds in Henrico Court. (Va. Co. The Myra Kingsbury (1906-1934). 4 v. 1619-1622, II 1622-1624, III 1607-1666, IV 1623-1626 (Henrico D. 1697-1704).
“Margaret (20 named in her father’s will as Margaret Cruse, was witness 2654 to a deed for a portion of ‘Turkey Island’ given by her half sister, Sara (Hallam) Woodward, her husband was probably James Crewes of Charles City, merchant, who was closely associated with Daniell Llewellyn Sr. in numerous business transactions. (See Virginial Colonial Abstracts X 44, X1 8, 22).”
There is an article regarding Daniell Llewellyn in “William and Mary College Quarterly – Old Letters of the Seventeenth Century” Vol. 8, pages 237 through 245. Because of the length, I have not included the same herein. One thing it does mention which may be of some significance in doing a genealogy on this family is “This second Daniel left no sons, but a sister appears to have married Col. Littleberry Epes of Charles City, since Llewellin Epes was his son.”

There's been discussion about whether or not the Daniel Lewallen showing in Prince Edward County was a descendant of the above Daniel, and it's quite possible. I do believe, however, that the Daniel of Prince Edward County was the son of a Richard Lewallen. Here's a little of what I've just pieced together.
DANIEL LEWALLEN
It isn't known who Daniel's father was. It's been assumed that his father was also named Daniel, but this hasn't been established. In fact, it's quite possible his father was the Richard Lewallen who died in Amelia County 1752. Richard is shown in Wills and Adminstrations so whether he left a will or someone administered his estate, we don't know at this point. Amelia was the parent county of Prince Edward. In most cases during the early years, a man named his first son after his father and that could hold true here. Richard Lewallen may have been the son of Daniel Lewallen of Charles City County who was a son or grandson of the immigrant, Daniel. As I said, a man more often than not named his first son after his father so Richard's father could have been Daniel. The son of Daniel, the immigrant, had 600 acres in Charles City County. What happened to that property? This Daniel was given 200 acres of land by his father-in-law as a wedding present.
Daniel Lewallen was married by 1763 because records show he received a gift of 200 acres from Charles Burke. Te nature of the gift was a wedding present because Daniel is on record as having married Mary Burke in 1763, the date of the gift.
In 1785 he's shown on the tax list with 4 whites, one other and one building.
He also died this year. His Will is dated Feb. 25, 1785 and proved in July of that year. It names his wife Mary and son Richard. The executor was his son Richard and witnesses were Edmund Dayzell, ? Todd, Zachariah RICE, John Vaughn
Son:
RICHARD LEWALLEN born 1763. In 1781, he was in the Revolutionary War. He married GRACE STOKELEY March 30, 1793, in Norfolk County where she was born. She was about 15 at the time of their marriage. He married Parazeda Vowell 1818 in Anderson County, Tennessee.
Right now I haven't researched to find out the names of Richard's children, but more than likely Charles Lewallen was one of his sons.
Charles Lewallen married Sarah Herndon 1/17/1821 Maury, TN
1830 Anderson, TN Charles Lewallen, 1 male under 5, 1 male 15-20, 1 male 30-40, 1 male 40-50, 1 female 20-30.
1840 Anderson, TN Charles Lewallen, 1 male 5-10, 1 male 10-15, 1 male 40-50, 1 female under 5, 1 female 10-15, 1 female 30-40
Sarah must have died between 1840 and 1850.
1850 Anderson, TN Charles Luallen, 56, TN Richard Luallen, 17, TN Molly Luallen, 14, TN Mary Luallen, 11, TN Charley Luallen, 8, TN Susannah Luallen, 6, TN
(Note: Charles' first son was named
Richard, probably after his father.)
Now the question: Was Anderson, Jesse, Thomas, William, and Margaret children of the above Daniel? No, because of their ages. More than likely, they were the children of Thomas Lewallen who died the same year in Amelia County that Richard Lewallen died (the one I believe was the father of Daniel of Prince Edward County), and a good guess is that they were all related. I'll go more into this in another post.

I've been corresponding with a woman who questioned that Margaret, daughter of Daniel Llewellyn, married James Crews and in going over the information, it's obvious she didn't marry him based on what I found on him when researching the Randolphs - OR - she was deceased by the time Bacon's Rebellion took place . Here are my old notes:
"James Crews was a member of Bacon's Rebellion and was hung 1676/7 as a result of his participation. Crews owned the property which later became known as the Turkey Island plantation bought by William Randolph. James Crews' niece was Sarah Whittington and her husband was William Whittington. On August 25, 1684, William Randolph purchased 500 acres from William and Sarah Whittington, niece of James Crews, deceased. and Matthew Crews, citizen and haberdasher of London"
Had Margaret, Daniel's daughter, been married to James Crews, then the property would have reverted to her upon James Crews' death rather than a niece - either that or Margaret Llewellyn was deceased and left no children.
Daniel Sr's Will is given above and Margaret's last name is spelled Cruse. Since Daniel died in England, is that where Margaret and her husband lived, or did they live in Charles City County? The Turkey Island property owned by James Crewes is in Henrico County.
HELP. Did Margaret Llewellyn marry the James Crewes of Bacon Rebellion and die before he was hung, or did she marry someone else?
"
Billie Harris - Sep 10, 2008
I think I've answere my own question. I believe Margaret was married to James Crewes. Consider this:
Chronology:
1623 - Adventures in Purse and Person” pages 274-5 shows:
“Ann (---) Price (b 1604) who came to Virginia in the Francis Bonaventure and was living with her husband John Price at neck of land, Charles City
1642 - ca Daniel Llewellyn arrives in the colonies from England (although some have stated he was here prior to this year and they may be right.
1642 - “Daniell Lewellyn, Gent. 856 acs. The Northermost part beg. Above Mrs. Heyman, N. on the upper branches of Turkey Island Cr. And S. on the head of Mr. Aston’s land. The southernmost part extending to Mr. Aston and W. upon Joseph Royall between Dockermans Cr. And Sherley Hundred. Trans. Of 17 pers: Michael Peacock, Charles Edgar, Tho. Morgan, James Foster, Robert Hopps, Tego Frayle, Hen. Hitchcox, Robert Ward, Tho. Richardson, John Devall, Robert Hallome, Frances Hallome, Eliza Jackson. Page 845. Oct. 27, 1642
Sometime after Robert Hallom's arrival, John Price died and Ann married Robert Hallom. Then Hallom died and she married Daniel Llewellyn - date unknown but it would have had to have been sometime around 1645 because both of his daughters were married when he made his Will out in 1663.
1651 - or before, James Crewes arrived in the colonies.
1663/4 - Daniel Llewellyn died in England. Because of his family being in the colonies and because of owning land in the colonies, it would seem there would also be a Will filed in Virginia but so far, none has turned up. A summary of his Will shows:
Daniel Llewellyn of Chelmsford, Essex, England, Planter of Charles City County, Virginia. Will dated February 6th 1663/4, proved March 11th 1663/4
“Lands, tenements, heriditaments, in Charles County in upper part of James River in Virginia, to wife Anne for life, then to son Daniel Llewellyn. Ditto as to goods but to daughter Martha Llewellyn Jones, Daniel’s sister, two seasoned servants. Also to son Daniel Llewellyn best suite, cloake, coate, and hatt, second best hatt with sivver hatband, all Linnen and my sayle Skinn Truncke, to friend Mary Elsing of Chelmsford, spinster, for care, one of best white rugs and my piece of Dowlas, saving sufficient for a winding sheet to bury mee. To Mary Deerington of Chelmsford, widow, one of worst white rugs. To daughter Margaret Llewelyn Cruse 40 shillings for ring and to her husband ditto. To son-in-law (stepson) Robert Hallam ditto. To Master Chr. Salter living in Wine Court without Bishipgate and Anne, his wife, 10 shillings each for gloves. Goods sent over from Virginia this spring and summer to be sold for debts due, rest to son Daniel.”
Executors: Thomas Vervell of Roxwell, Essex, Gent.: James Jauncey of Cateaton Streete, London, Merchant; Giles Sussex of Thomas Streete, London, Hottpresser; and Master William Walker of Colchest, Essex, Shopkeeper
“To be buried in Parish Church of Chelmsford, neare the Reading Deske, and friend Doctor James Michelson to preach.”
Witnesses: Robert Lloyd, Tim Code, senior, scivenor.
1676/7 - James Crewes was hanged for his part in Bacon's Rebellion.
I just found a posting on GenForum which gives his Will:
July 23, 1676. In the name of God, Amen, I James Crewes of Turkey Island, planter in Henrico County, being of sound and perfect memory, praised be God, do make and ordain this my last will and testament in manner and form following:
First, and principle, I commit my soul into the hands of Almighty God, my Creator, hoping and also believing through the merits, death, and passion of Jesus Christ, my Savior and Redeemer, to have and obtain free, full, remission and pardon for all my sins.
As touching any and all my worldly estate, either here in Virginia, in England, or elsewhere due either by bill, bond, or arrest:
Imprimis Item. I give and bequeath unto Mary Carter, daughter to Giles Carter, ten thousand pounds of tobacco and cask, one feather bed, two blankets, and one good rug, this to be paid in three years after my decease, the interest hereof to be towards her clothing.
Item. I give unto Susan Carter ten thousand pounds of tobacco and cask, one feather bed, two blankets, and one rug, to be paid as abovesaid.
Item. I give unto my man Tero his freedom, he serving three years after my decease and at the expiration of the said time, I give unto him one cow, one sow, if I have any left, and as much land as he shall tend for him and another during life.
Item. I give unto Hannah Carter, wife to Giles Carter, my Negro maid Keate forever and her increase.
Item. I give unto Daniel Price my best suit and coat and hat.
Item. I give unto Giles Carter what he owes me by bill or book; and further the plantation, which I have formerly left him, that he, his wife Hannah, and children shall have it during both their lives rent free, only paying one grain of Indian corn when demanded and further it is my will that what I have given to the said Giles Carter’s children that if either of them should die that it should come to the rest of his children; it is further my will that when the said Hannah Carter, wife to the said Giles Carter shall die, then the said Negro wench return to Theodorick Carter, her son, and if she hath any children they to be at her disposing who she will give them to.
Item. I make my loving cousin Mr. Mathew Crewes my sole executor of all my lands here in Virginia or elsewhere and all the rest of my estate to him or his heirs forever, my just debts being paid.
Item. It is my desire that my loving friend Giles Carter should live here in my said house and command my servants and make crops or any other thing as shall be convenient and necessary for the said plantation, and so to give an account yearly if my said executor shall order.
James Crewes. Test: Thomas Forehand and Dermot Enroughty.
Probated in Henrico County Court to be the last will and testament of Capt. James Crewes (deceased) by the witnesses to the same as by their depositions taken the 10th of December 1677 (in case of mortality) will appear certified and entered amongst the records of the said court this 2nd day of August 1680. H. Davis, Esq. (Henrico County, Virginia, Records, p. 139)
1. NOTE the name of PRICE in the Will. There has to be a connection somewhere because of the marriage of Ann Price Hallom to Daniel Llewellyn.
2. WHY did he make such provisions for the Carters? Was there a relationship?
I believe Margaret Llewellyn probably did marry James Crewes/Crews based on the fact the families lived in the same general area and that he named a Price in his Will.
Comments are very much welcomed

Billie -
It seems to me that you are making a HUGE leap in logic. I don't see a single statement in any of this will indicating anything other than James Crewes knew someone named Daniel Price.
What I find most interesting in the will is how it details exactly who each person is EXCEPT Daniel Price. That makes me think either
a) It should be obvious who Daniel Price is
- or -
b) Daniel Price is of little or no consequence
- or -
c) both of the above.
After all, considering what James gave to all the others, giving Daniel Price his "best suit and coat and hat" is almost like an afterthought.
Billie Harris - Sep 10, 2008
John, It may be a huge leap in logic and it may not be correct but it's the best I could come up and to me it seems logical. If you can come up with anything else, I'm always open for reconsideration. I'm not above making mistakes and I certainly don't know everything. The purpose of this site is to try to find answers to our genealogical questions so if you can find anything that will help, by all means post it.
I beg to differ about the value of clothing given to Daniel Price by James Crewes though. What he gave him was his best suit and coat and hat. That was a BIG bequest because clothing wasn't plentiful in the 1600's, especially suits and perhaps not even hats while land was plentiful and was even given away for paying for passages for others (indentured servants) to come here and then work the land for a period of time Coats were made from wool and if you know about the process to get wool, comb it with carding combs, spin it, sew it, you'll understand that it, too, was of tremendous value. I've seen many early Wills which made similar bequests so this wasn't an uncommon one. It wasn't an afterthought as you believe.
IF some of the genealogies posted on the internet which show Daniel Price as the son of John Price, husband of Ann Price Hallom Llewellyn, are correct and IF James Crewes was married to Margaret Llewellyn, daughter of Ann and Daniel Llewellyn, that would make Margaret Llewellyn and Daniel Price as half brother/sister.
There are some who are of the opinion that the reason he gave the large bequests to the Carters was because Hannah Carter was a daughter of James Crewes. I don't see anything in the Will to indicate this although there may be something else to substantiate it, I don't know.
Rick Llewellyn - Sep 11, 2008
I'm having some trouble seeing the logic too so I am posting some of my thinking on this matter.
1. Proof of relation of Daniel2 Lewellin as son of Daniel1 Lewellin:
Deed , 15 May 1666 of 636 acres in Charles City County ends with "Granted unto Capt. Daniel Luellin, deceased, 10 March 1655 and now become due said Daniel as son and heir.
2. Proof of relation of Richard3 Lewellin as son of Daniel2 Lewellin:
Proof lacking. Otherwise, strongly suggested. Some sources say Daniel2 Lewellin had no sons, probably because he left his plantation to Lewellin Eppes, his grandson. However, Richard lives on land adjacent to Drury Stith, Stith being the surname of Daniel2 Lewellin's wife Jane. According to the will of Major John Stith, (Daniel2 Lewellin's father-in-law) Drury Stith was left the land on the eastern branch of Herring Creek. And, we know that later, in 1730, Thomas4 Lewellin sells his father's land on the west side of Herring Creek Swamp. This land is in Charles City County in the vicinity 7 miles east of the Shirley Hundred plantation.
3. Proof of relation of Thomas4 Lewellin as son of Richard3 Lewellin:
Deed dated 6 January 1730 from Thomas Lewellin of Westover Parish to Benjamin Harrison, "... being part of a tract Richard Flewellin, father of said Thomas ...".
4. Proof of relation of Jesse5 Lewellin as son of Thomas4 Lewellin:
Deed of 24 May 1753, 70 acres from William Craddock to Susannah Lewelling and Jesse Lewelling, "her son". Also, the Vestry Book & Register of Bristol Parish specifically states , "Jesse Lewellin, son of Thomas and Anne Lewelling ..."
5. Proof of relation of Thomas5 Lewellin as son of Thomas4 Lewellin:
The Amelia County Tithables list for 1744 identified Thomas Flewellyn with 5 tithes, including Tom, Bob, Hanna & Pamog. [Note: this researcher needs to go back to the original document to determine if key information was missed that may clarify the count of whites and slaves.] Hannah may have been a slave but closely matches Thomas' wife's name of Susannah. Pamog, Tom & Bob may have been slaves. However, there is proof of a Thomas Lewellin in records beyond the death of Thomas4. This leaves me to conclude that Tom refers to Thomas5.
6. Proof of relation of Robert5 Lewellin as son of Thomas4 Lewellin:
The Amelia County Tithables list for 1744 identified Thomas Flewellyn with 5 tithes, including Tom, Bob, Hanna & Pamog. [Note: this researcher needs to go back to the original document to determine if key information was missed that may clarify the count of whites and slaves.] Hannah may have been a slave but closely matches Thomas' wife's name of Susannah. Pamog, Tom & Bob may have been slaves. Also, there is no proof of a Robert Lewellin in records. It is possible that Robert simply died young.
7. Proof of relation of Jesse6 Lewellin as son of Jesse5 Lewellin:
Will of John Lewelling, 29 October 1787, states "Estate to brother Jesse when he comes of age ..." and "Father Jesse to be executor".
8. Proof of relation of David4 Lewellin as brother of Thomas4 Lewellin:
Amelia County, Virginia court order , dated 16 November 1745, regarding action of detinue, David Lewelling versus Thomas Lewelling. Action of detinue is a weak proof of the relationship. This type of case was typically between brothers arguing over ownership of commonly held property.
9. Proof of relation of Daniel4 Lewellin as brother of Thomas4 Lewellin:
Amelia County, Virginia court order , dated 19 July 1745, regarding action of detinue, Daniel Lewelling versus Thomas Lewelling. Action of detinue is a weak proof of the relationship. This type of case was typically between brothers arguing over ownership of commonly held property.
10. Proof of relation of Richard5 Lewellin as son of Daniel4 Lewellin:
Daniel's will was recorded 28 February 1785. The will stated that "... plantation to son Richard".
11. Proof of relation of Charles5 Lewellin as son of Daniel4 Lewellin:
No proof established. However, there are hints that Charles may have been less successful man than his cousins. On 6 November 1787, Richard5 Lewellin granted Charles5 Lewellin 70 acres in Prince Edward County. [Note: this information is from the deed index and the deed has yet to be examined to see if money exchanged hands or relationship.
12. Proof of relation of Jesse6 Lewellin as son of Jesse5 Lewellin:
In the will of John Lewellin, dated 29 October 1787, Jesse is named as the brother of John and father as Jesse.
13. Proof of relation of Claiborne6 Lewellin as son of Jesse5 Lewellin:
In the will of John Lewellin, dated 29 October 1787, Claiborne is named as the brother of John and father as Jesse.
14. Proof of relation of Moses6 Lewellin as son of Jesse5 Lewellin:
In the will of John Lewellin, dated 29 October 1787, Moses is named as the brother of John and father as Jesse.
15. Proof of relation of John6 Lewellin as son of Jesse5 Lewellin:
In the will of John Lewellin, dated 29 October 1787, John is named as the son of Jesse.

Whee. I guess I'm just not communicating well if neither of you can see the logic in my post regarding Daniel Llewellyn's daughter, Margaret, marrying James Crewes. I am convinced of it so perhaps if it will be easier for everyone to understand the connection by seeing a chronology which I'll post separately rather than here since it's quite lengthy.
Rick, I appreciate your information on the proof or lack of it in establishing the relationships of the individuals. I believe at least most of that is in the chronology listings so I'm not questioning it except for one thing.
I notice your site has that Richard and John were sons of Daniel Jr.'s even though his Will doesn't state it. What do you have on Richard and John to make you believe they were his sons other than the fact Richard lived near the Stiths which brings me to another question. Do you have a copy of the land transaction for Richard? I'm asking ONLY because I haven't come across one and I'm curious on where his property was. I believe the Stith's property is listed in the separate posting that I'll make right now.

Actually it says Charles was a son of Richard's - that is what I believe based on the 1743 Amelia County Tax List. It is possible that Charles was a brother to Daniel but I don't think the timeline is correct for that. It is possible I really have two Charles confused as one. That being the Daniel you mention.
And, the Richard I referred to the early one (Richard3, Daniel2, Daniel1) - this being Richard, the father of Thomas. [Charles City County, Wills & Deeds, 1725 - 1731, by Benjamin B. Weisiger III]

Incidentally, to prove my point on the value of clothing in those days, I did notice that Daniel Lewellyn's Will specifically gave his son his "best suite, cloake, hatt."
