Descendants of Daniel Llewellyn of Charles City County, VA.
Billie Harris - Feb 8, 2011
The male descendants of Daniel Llewellyn and Ann Price-Hallom-Llewellyn seems to have come come to an end with their son, Daniel, but there remains a question of who the Richard and Thomas mentioned in the timeline below were and who was the Daniel Lewelling in Amelia County. In reviewing some of the records, it seems Daniel's property wasn't near where Richard and Thomas lived.
There will be a separate posting on the descendants of Thomas of Amelia County (father of Jesse Lewelling and husband of Susanna) made in the next day or so.
The genealogy for the descendants of Daniel and Ann appears to be the following. If anyone can add to this, please post a reply below.
DANIEL LLEWELLYN, wife ANN PRICE-HALLOM-LLEWELLYN
Daniel arrived in the colonies 1633.
Children:
1. MARGARET LLEWELLYN CREWS
Married James Crews of Bacon's Rebellion (See below)
It doesn't appear they had children.
2. MARTHA LLEWELLYN JONES
Married Richard (or Robert) Jones. Richard Jones died 1676
Son: Richard Jones
Richard married Amy Batte . They had a daughter named Amy and a son Llewelling Jones. Note that this family also lived in Amelia County. See last posting
3. DANIEL LLEWELLYN
Wife - ? Stith (see below). They had one daughter.
Daughter - name unknown. Married an Eppes.
Grandson - Llewellyn Eppes.
Died 1712. His Will, made out 1710 left his plantation to his grandson, Llewellin Eppes and if he died without issue, then to his nephew, Richard Jones (son of Martha Llewellyn Jones.)
BUT ..... Who was this Daniel Lewelling?
Amelia County, Virginia. Daniel Lewelling sold 100 acres on the lower side of Beaver Pond Branch of Flatt Creek, part of a 1,730 acre grant to Samuel Cobbs in 1754. Testators were Thomas Wren and John Roberts. Daniel's land remained in Amelia after Prince Edward County was formed from it 1752 while Jesse's was in Prince Edward. Jesse was probably the son of Thomas and Susanna Lewelling. A posting on descendants of Jesse will be in the next couple of days.

(Note by Billie. (1) Is this the correct date? (2) If James Crews was Margaret’s husband, then there may have been more than one; either that or she must have been deceased by 1676. There was a James Crews involved with Nathaniel Bacon in the Bacon Rebellion and because of his association with Bacon, he was hanged. Bacon died of natural causes in 1676 and Crews was hung in 1677. At that time, James Crews owned at least a portion of Turkey Island in Henrico County. William Randolph purchased Turkey island from Crew’s niece, a Whittington, in England. There may have been a nephew also, but I do remember this discussion on the Randolph MyFamily site and there was a Wittington who sold the property. At any rate, James Crews of Bacon’s Rebellion made a Will the1676 and did not name a wife or children)

“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 a survey of 523 acres, Charles 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 (2) named in her father’s will as Margaret Cruse, was witness 1654 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.”
LAWS OF VIRGINIA, NOVEMBER 1766 -- 7th GEORGE III.
CHAP. LIII.
An act to dock the entail of certain lands, whereof Lewellin Jones is seized, and for settling other lands and slaves in lieu thereof.

And forasmuch as notice hath been published three Sundays successively in the several churches in the said parish of Raleigh, that application would be made to the present general assembly for an act to this purpose, pursuant to your majesty's instructions: And whereas the said eight hundred acres of land are under mortgage to Thomas Tabb, gentleman, of the county of Amelia, for the payment of a certain sum Entail of certain lands whereof Lewellin Jones is seized, docked.

I think I've answered my own questions on who Richard and Thomas and the other Daniel were. I'll be posting the information in the next day or so, but I'm sure going to need some help in bringing the line on down. Check back.

Billie, are the Thomas and Susanna you mentioned in the first paragraph above, parents of Jesse, the same Thomas and Susanna Lewellen who bought property in Loudoun County, VA in 1759 and sold it in 1772?
They would have been having children from the 1740's to 60's, maybe starting a little earlier, based on tithing records of their sons.

Landy, I'm not sure. I'm still working on that line and it's a little more complicated than Daniel's (above) since Daniel didn't have any male descendants. Thomas and Susannah did.

Note the 1730 information:
1730 - Thomas FLEWELLIN of Westover Parish, Charles City Co., to Benjamin Harrison of same, for 5 pounds, land on West side of Herring Creek Swamp, being part of a tract Richard FLEWELLIN, father of said Thomas , etc. signed by Thomas FLEWELLIN, 6 Jan 1730.
It would seem Richard (father of Thomas) had died by 1730.
