Biography

U.S. Southern Colonies Project logo
Unknown (Unknown) Archer was a Virginia colonist.
Marriage: George Archer (1620 - 1675), ca 1646, Henrico County, Virginia[citation needed]

Research Notes

"Mary Elizabeth "Sarah" (Wood) Archer", born Malvern Hills, Henrico, Virginia about 1631; died Turnstalls Neck, Henrico, Virginia.[citation needed]

Her father was not Abraham Wood. Abraham was 10 years old in the 1624/5 Jamestown Census, but he did not subsequently marry "Margaret Elizabeth Llewellyn (1616-1682)". He did have a daughter named Mary who married Thomas Chamberlaine before 1682 (Abraham names his daughter Mary Chamberlaine in his 1682 will). Mary was Abraham's only known daughter. Some say that Peter Jones's wife Margaret was Abraham's step-daughter. See his profile for details.
Death: 1682, Henrico, Virginia[citation needed]
Will Dated. 12 AUG 1718.
Will Probated. 04 MAY 1719.

Disputed Child

George Archer's birth is usually given as either 1620 or 1630 - sometimes 1632 or 1635. Even at 1620, he would not have been the father Ann Archer, born 1632. That profile (Archer-1233) has been detached from both George and his wife. ~ Noland-165, 10 August 2021

deleted previous comment (no longer relevant). This profile's LNAB was changed from Wood to Unknown and retained as the earlier wife of George (not Mary, his widow) who was mother of George Jr. No support was found for this person being a Wood.

update- changed LNAB to Unknown - this profile is for George's earlier wife (mother of George Jr), not his widow, Mary (mother of Margaret, Elizabeth, & John), who married Joseph Royall

Now I'm working on the profile of Joseph Royall-3 - born c1646 and married the widow of George Archer... who is not, apparently, the person represented by this profile, although the profile attached for daughter Margaret (Archer) Bullington has support.

Do y'all have reliable sources to support the marriage with George Archer, the children attached, and/or LNAB & birth/death info? If so, please post.

Thanks!

ps LNAB = Last Name at Birth

"Wood Lineages" has no source information and present information that does not track (such as Abraham's birth date/place & Margaret as his daughter - she was a step-daughter):
"Abraham Wood was born 1614 in Charles City Co., Virginia Colony & died 1672 in Henrico Co., Virginia Colony. He married Margaret Cruse (daughter of James Cruse & Margaret Llewelyn) in 1634. Margaret was born in Malvern Hill, Henrico, Virginia Colony & died 1682 in Henrico Co., Virginia Colony. There are 4 known children: Sarah, Margaret, Abraham II & Mary."
this Abraham, born 1614, has Sarah, born 1631?
"Sarah Wood was born 1631 in Henrico Co., Virginia Colony & died 1682 in Henrico Co., Virginia Colony. She married George Archer (son of Richard Archer & Mary Bull) whom she married in 1653. George was born 1620 in Landon, Essex, England & died November 2, 1675 in Henrico Co., Virginia Colony. SEE ARCHER FILE FOR MORE INFORMATION ON THIS LINE."

Only his daughter Mary Chamberlayne & his Jones grandchildren are named in the will.

See Disputed Children section of Abraham's profile. Since no reliable sources have been added in the years since that section was added (in 2016), I propose that it is time to detach this profile from Abraham's.

I concur. Maj. Gen. Abraham Wood was born in England in 1610 and arrived as a 10 year-old, in 1620. He was among the first to travel over the Appalachian Mountains into West Virginia and the Ohio River basin. Extensive* records at the Library of Congress. (*extensive isn't that many, but very rich in detail)

Many of my ancestors here at wikitree are found in Ancestors' of Colonial Wars, XVII Century Colonial Dames, Daughters of the American Revolution, Sons' of the American Revolution, &c. I'm not a member of any of these organisations, but I adhere to their mission to respectfully represent their ancestors histories, Ancestry.com is too frequently found here as sources devoid of any facts. The more devoid of facts, it seems, the greater the number of family-trees that are referenced as sources. It is quite depressing at times to find knowledge corrupted in so thoughtless a manner.
