(Loved those Ls, didn't we! Robert H., by the way, was my great grandfather.)
The following information was researched and documented by Anna
Lynn Cobos Stout, who is a Mormon and a daughter of my first cousin Bonnie Carrol Eagle Cobos. Bonnie is a daughter of Aunt Gladys Marie Lewallen Morris Eagle Ragojo. Aunt Gladys' grandfather was Robert H. Lewallen.
______
JOHN Llewellen
John Llewellen, farher of Daniell Llewellen, was born in Wales in 1580. I have no additional information.
DANIELL ALEXANDER Llewellen I
Daniell Llewellen I was born in Chelmsford, Essex, England in 1600.
He arrived in Virginia in 1637 (some accounts say 1642, but ship's record says
1637) and settled near Shirley in Charles City County, died in Charles City County, VA, in 1663.
In 1640, he married Ann Baker. Ann Baker was born in 1604 in Wales, and died in 1666 in Virginia; she was previously married to John Price first and to Robert Hallam, Sr. next.
The children of Daniell I and Ann Baker were Daniel born in 1647;
Martha L. Llewellen Jones; Margaret L. Llewellen Cruse who may have been the wife of Captain James Crews of Henrico who was hanged for his participation in Bacon's Rebellion, although Crews was unmarried at the time of his death; and Susanna Llewellen who married
Littlebury Epes. A son of Susanna and Littlebury was Lewellin Epes,
who was Clerk of the Court of Charles City County and who was appointed in September of 1729 by an ailing John Carter, Esq., Secretary of Virginia, to act as his deputy.
Daniell I was Justice of the Peace for Charles City, Henrico County, a captain of the militia, and a member of the House of Burgesses. In 1642, Daniell I patented 856 acres near Shirley Hundred on James River. That grant in 1666 was confirmed by another patent to Daniel
Llewellen II. He later received several other grants in the same neighborhood.
Letters from William Hallam and William Mason in England
written to Daniell I indicate that he lived in Shirley Hundred (Old Letters of the Seventeenth Century, William and Mary College Quarterly VII, First Series, pp. 237-245, copied from an old Charles City record book, date of
publication not included on the copies I received from the Cobos family).
Included in the above-referenced publication is a receipt of Thomas Hallam dated April 23, 1656, who received tobacco from Daniell Lewellin I in the amount of 2,284 pounds, along with cask. Of this tobacco, 420 pounds
was in settlement of Llewellen's account with William Hallam, uncle of Thomas Hallum, and 1,384 pounds went toward a debt of 8,750 pounds of tobacco and cask owed to the mother of Thomas Hallam, Mrs. Margaret
Hallam. A year later, on April 20, 1657, Daniell Llewellen transferred to
William Mason (Thomas Hallam's father-in-law) and Margaret Hallam more
tobacco, this time a bill of 8,750 pounds of tobacco which was "in full of all accounts and reconings betweene my sd ffather and mother and my selfe
from the beginning of the world to the present day. Witnesse my hand and seale the day and yeare abovewritten.... This is the true copie of that discharge w'ch I have given to my uncle Llewellin as withesse my hand.
Thos Hallam. Rec Jun: 25. 1657."
Robert Hallam (of Burnham, Essex, Salter) came to Virginia in August of 1620.
His name also appears as Hollam. He died before 1638, leaving his wife Ann
Baker Hallam, who married Daniell Llewellyn (Llewallen, Lleullin) of Charles
City County.
It is recorded that Daniel Lewellin I "of Westover Parrish" returned to England in 1657. He died in 1664. His will was printed in Virginia Historical Magazine, pages 52-54. A copy of part of his will from page 54 is included in the Photos section of this site. Title is Daniel Lewallen I Will.
DANIEL ALEXANDER Llewellen II
Daniel Llewellen II was born in 1647 according to records of Henrico County, Virginia. He married Jane Stith who was born in 1660 in Charles City County, Virginia and died there in 1694.
Jane was a daughter of Capt. John Drury Stith (born 1638 in Kirkham, Lancastershire, England, died 1692 in Charles City, Virginia) and Jane Mosby (born in England in 1638, died in Charles City in 1694 - Jane Mosby's parents were Edward Mosby and his wife Hannah).
Daniel Llewellen II died on June 17, 1712, in Henrico County, Virginia.
Daniel II and Jane Stith had a son, Daniel, and a daughter is also mentioned.
The 1642 land patent of his father was re-granted in 1666 to Daniel Llewellen II. Daniel II owned at least a part of the famous Shirley Hundred, on which there is an architecture book in the Alexander, Virginia, library. In 1704 he owned 600 acres in Charles City County.
In the Photos section is a copy of the signature of Daniel Llewellin (Llewelling) II. It is titled Daniel Llewellin II signature.
In the fall of 1665 Daniel II took a man to court for hog stealing. An account of this, as well as William Byrd's account of attending the funeral of Daniel I, is in the Photos section. It is titled Daniel Llewellin II Hog Problem.
DANIEL ALEXANDER Llewellen III
Daniel Alexander Llewellen III was born in 1710 in Amelia County, VA, and died
in 1875 in Prince Edward County. In 1736, he married Mary Burks (1710-1785) who was a daughter of Charles Burks, Sr.
Their daughter Mary Llewellen married John Crane on May 15, 1776, in Nottoway
Parrish in Prince Edward County, VA. Their son Anderson Grant Llewellen married Lydia (Lucy) Rice in 1784 in Prince Edward County.
Daniel Lewellen III was very active in the purchase and sale of land. Some of his
transactions are recorded in Amelia County Deed Book 1. (Amelia County was formed in 1735 from Prince George and Brunswick Counties.)
ANDERSON GRANT Lewallen
Anderson Grant Lewallen was born around 1764 in Prince Edward County, Virginia, and there he married Lydia (called Lucy) Rice in 1784. Lydia was the daughter of Frances Crenshew of Prince Edward County and Charles Rice (1735-1779) of Virginia. Lydia's paternal grandparents were Matthew Rice (1696-1775, Virginia) and Ann Watson (born around 1710). Her paternal great-grandparents were Thomas Rice (born 1663 in Bristol, England) and Ann Mary Hewes (born 1664 in Virginia).
Anderson sold out in Virginia in 1787 and moved to Wake County, North Carolina. In 1811, he moved to Wolf Creek in Roane County, Tennessee. Roane County is now Scott and Morgan Counties. He died in Morgan County, Tennessee in 1825. Lydia was born around 1764 in Prince Edward County and died in Morgan County, TN in 1833.
The children of Anderson Grant Lewallen and Lydia Rice Lewallen were Zachariah,
born in 1785 in Virginia; Anderson, born in 1786 in Virginia; a daughter, born in 1791 in North Carolina; a daughter, born in 1792 in North Carolina; Andrew Lucian, born in 1795 in North Carolina; a daughter, born in 1794 in North Carolina; William L., born in 1809 in North Carolina; John, born in 1812 in Tennessee.
This last son, John Lewallen, was the first sheriff of Scott County. He married first wife Delilah Reed in 1833 and their children were Issaac (born 1834), Anderson S. (1836), Elizabeth (1837), Campbell C. (1839-1918), Andrew (1843), Nancy (1845), Columbus (1847), Louisa (1849), Lucinda (1850), and William Harry (1853). He married second wife Emily Reed McDonald in 1865, and they had a daughter named Tennessee (born 1868) and a daughter named Texas (1870).
He married Lydia on June 8, 1784, in Prince Edward County, Virginia as is chiseled in their tombstone.

Thanks for your info Dreama.
Just so new researchers will know:
I've been told by others that many current Lewellen researchers have decided to end with Anderson Grant because the connection to Daniel can't be proved and is unlikely.
If someone has further information I'd love to know - I haven't researched this line personally so don't know or have an opinion one way or the other. If it has not been proved, we need to add a disclaimer to anything posted about Daniel so we won't be perpetuating something people are now trying to discredit.
