Biography

Lydia was born about 1654.

She is named in her father's will.^[1]

Lydia is noted as a widow in 1716 when she, along with son William Daw convey property to John Clark. The property was located on the west side of Mattchepungo River. William was living on the property at the time of the sale. ^[2]

This location is not to be confused with Mattapungo Creek on the Eastern Shore, where the Windley's also had property. These are two different places:

The boundaries of Hyde County have evolved over almost three hundred years. Because of the changes in the county's boundaries, a person may have lived in several counties during his lifetime, while residing in the same location. The lands lying south of the Albemarle Sound, along the Pamlico River, had begun to be settled by 1691. This area became Bath County in 1696 and in 1705, it was divided into three precincts: Wickham, Pamptecough and Archdale, with Bath Town as the county seat. Wickham Precinct began just east of Bath at Mellyne's (later Sinclare's) Creek on the west side of the Matchapungo (later Pungo) River and on the north side of the Pamlico River including all the land from the creek eastward to Matchapungo Bluff, near present day New Holland. In 1712, the precincts of Bath County were renamed Hyde, Beaufort and Craven Precincts, respectively. Hyde was named in honor of Governor Edward Hyde who died in 1712.^[3]

Lydia was born in 1658. She passed away in 1717.
