Preface

Earlier researchers based on the materials available to them at the time incorrectly identified Elizabeth as being born in 1609 into the Bacon family and that she arrived on the Ship Safety in 1635 as Elizabeth Holloway. [1] Recent investigation of court records and other sources indicate this to be incorrect. See Research Notes below.

Please note that the surname Tyllye has many spelling variations, including Tylley, Tilley, Tulley, and Tally are found in numerous primary records found in Northampton County, Virginia and in various locations in England including London.

Birth

Elizabeth was born in 1628 as she stated she was 26 years old in a deposition taken on 28 August 1654. [2] [3]

She was baptized on 1 June 1628 in St. Martin's Church, North Nibley, Gloucestershire, England. [4] Her parents were John and Avis nee' Parsons Tyllye. [5] John was related to Robert and he the father of John Tylley [Tilney-159].

Immigration

Nathan Martin for some reason was granted a headright for transporting 10 people who had been transported by others, including Benjamin Carrall (Carroll, Carrill). These 10 included John Holloway (1614-bef.1643) and Elizabeth Talley. Martin received his headright for this on 31 May 1636. [6]

Benjamin Carrill continued to live near Henricus, Virginia as on 13 June 1636 he witnessed a land transfer from John Baugh to William Cooke and Richard Carpenter.[7] He perhaps went back to England and then returned to Virginia in about 1638, this time a little closer to Jamestown and perhaps better safety. He transported Elizabeth, his wife; Henry Carrill; Elizabeth Talley and others for a total of 12 persons and received a headright of 700 acres, later known as Dancing Point [8], in James City County (now Charles City county) on 16 May 1638. [9] [10]

One reason for Elizabeth Tylley becoming a ward of Carrill is that one or both of her parents may have died and she was given to Carrill, a family member or close friend. It is possible that Carrall was of one of the Carroll (spelling variations) families who attended St. Leonard's Church, Shoreditch, London, England, along with the Tilley, Parsons, Holloway and Nuthall families.[11] However, no details have been found. London was besieged by plague in 1636 which may account for Elizabeth becoming part of Carrall's family. Elizabeth may be listed in Carrall's Last Will and Testament or in the escheat proceedings, both of which have not been found to date and may no longer exist due to fires in the colonial courts.

Searching online for both Benjamin Carrall and Elizabeth Talley (with spelling variations for each) in Virginia and Maryland records did not result in any more information other than the land patents already mentioned. However a few records from James City/James Cities County, Virginia were found that mention Carrall pertaining to his Dancing Point property going into escheat.[12] [13]

John Holloway subsequently transported John Tylley (later known as John Tilney (abt.1618-bef.1701) )[14], Elizabeth's first cousin. He is is mentioned several times in relation to John Holloway , including John Holloway's Will indicating their special relationship.

Marriage

John Holloway

Elizabeth married John Holloway (chirurgion/surgeon) before March 1643 at Northampton County, Virginia, as their daughter, Priscilla was born 10 December 1643. [15]

The exact date and place of John's marriage to Elizabeth remain unknown. However, from one court record dated 10 April 1644, in which John Rozier (minister of Hungars Creek Church) was awarded 3£ 2s from the estate of John Holloway for marriage and funeral fees, one can conclude that they were married in the Hungars Creek area.[16]

As his wife, she was named as executrix in John Holloway's will on 25 August 1643 at Northampton Count, Virginia. Also, Elizabeth was named in her husband's estate settlement on 9 September 1643 at Northampton Co, VA. It was on this date that the estate of John Holloway's Will was probated. (Notes: John Nuthall married the executrix and subsequently he was given custody of the estate of Priscilla Holloway orphan.) [17]

Children

The only surviving child of this marriage was Priscilla Holloway, born 10 December 1643/4 in Northampton County, Virginia.[18]

That John Holloway had only a single surviving child, born after his death, is inferred from his will, dated 25 August 1643 and recorded in Northampton County, 9 September 1643. She was the wife of William STEVENS, a boatwright (ship builder). She may have been given the name Priscilla in honor of John Holloway's mother – the typical naming pattern for the English during this time.[19]

John Holloway may have had children born prior to Priscilla who were given real and or monetary property prior to his death and he so he didn't feel the need to include them in his will.

John Nuthall

Elizabeth married John Nuthall after 10 December 1643/4 (the birth of John Holloway and Elizabeth's daughter, Priscilla [Holloway-257] likely in the area of Hungars Creek. If John Nuthall had married Elizabeth prior to Priscilla's birth, she would have been known as a Nuthall but records show her as Priscilla Holloway. [20] By 7 January 1644/45 Elizabeth was known as his wife whom he had transported and received a headright.<Nugent> The exact date has not been determined but it was before 7 January 1644/45 at when a certificate was granted to Mr. John Nuthall for 250 acres of land for transporting Mr. John Nuthall, Elizabeth his wife, John Tolson and John Evers. [21] Some researchers state that her marriage occurred in January 1644. It took some time for land grants to be awarded after the transportation occurred so it is likely that the marriage occurred in late 1643/44.

Children

Elizabeth and John had four children [22]:

John Nuthall Jr. born 1647[23] and died 1714[24]

Eleanor Nuthall born 1645 [25], married Thomas Sprigg (1630-1704) [26], died 1696 [27]

James Nuthall born about 1651[28]

Elias Nuthall born about 1653[29]

Residences

As a young child, Elizabeth lived in North Nibley, Gloucestershire and then Shoreditch, London, England.[30]

For a brief time, she lived along the James River in Virginia with the Carroll family. It is unknown whether she returned to Shoreditch or if she remained living on the western shore of Virginia until her marriage to John Holloway in the area of Hungars Creek.

John and Elizabeth lived on the southside and at the northeastern end of Hungars Creek, near Bridgetown, the oldest continuously inhabited village on the Eastern Shore. At first this area was known as Nassawadox (the Accawmack Native American tribe [31] word meaning a “stream between 2 streams" because Hungars Creek is located between the Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. When a bridge was built over Hungars Creek the village became known as Bridgetown. This area was originally in Accomack County (Shire) which became Northampton County in 1642 and one of the original 8 shires of Virginia. [32]

Their home, which measured about 25' in length, and outbuildings are gone to the ravages of time and tide as they were likely constructed of wood. [33] Because of the unusually large size, the home would also have served as John's doctor's office and hospital. [34] Today, two streets, Holloway Drive and Stevens Circle, are located in part of what was once John's land, in the area known as Harmontown. One home is situated on each, 11165 Holloway Drive, built in 2006 and 11220 Stevens Circle, built in 1795. These two parcels of land are owned by the same couple and are adjacent. [35]

As the newly-wed wife of John Holloway, she lived along Hungars Creek, Northampton, Virginia. John's land is shown as N55 in the Eastern Shore of Virginia website. [36] After his death, she likely continued to live there until her death.

John Nuthall lived nearby so she didn't have to move very far after her marriage to him. His land is shown as N57 on the Lokenbauer map.

According to John's will, he bequeathed his "estate" in England to Elizabeth. Unfortunately, a description of its location and size or records connecting Elizabeth to any estate in England after John's death have not been found.

Religion

Elizabeth and both of her husbands were among the early worshipers with Hungars Church (originally Church of England and now Episcopalian). Rev. William Cotton became it's first minister in 1632.[37] On 14 September 1635, Rev. Cotton petitioned the court in James City for the building of a parsonage and appointed the first Vestry. The church was built between this time and May 1636 as extrapolated from the following: “At a vestry holden at Acchawmach this 20th day of May 1636, Having taken into account the remote living of the members of the Parish from the church, It is agreed that all such persons as live at the Old Plantation from the land of Mrs. Graves unto ……. The head of the old plantation creek that they shall cause bodies to be buried on one part of the land of Wm. Blower where Wm. Berryman liveth and likewise that they give notice unto the minister and provide convenient means for his coming there to bury the dead.” [38] [39] Prior to the church building, worship was conducted in the homes of members. It is now part of Hungars Cure Parish. [40] The current building is located about .2 miles east of the center of Bridgetown at 10107 Bayside Road. [41]

Wealth

Status was important in Accomack-Northampton and many achieved a level greater than what they could have had if they remained in England. “Despite its geographic obscurity and cultural backwardness relative to the metropole of London, the county’s residents created their own local hierarchy based on material wealth, community connections, and influence with “worthies” back home.[42]

It is unknown if Elizabeth had any wealth as a single woman. Since she was only about 15 when she married John Holloway, any wealth would likely have been given to her by her elders. However, after John Holloway's death, she gained his corn and tobacco crops, a servant named Edward Reevs, other “goods, Chattles, Swine, etc. whatsoever else I stand now possesss’d of (only my Land excepted).” [43] “As a New World widow, Elizabeth received a “more generous legacy” than widows in England.” And as John Nuthall's wife, her wealth and standing increased. However, John Nuthall also benefited from the marriage as he claimed her 'value' when he married her. It was customary for the second husband to use his wife’s property as he chose, although he could not sell it without her consent. [44]

Court Records

A court proceeding involving Elizabeth occurred on 3 November 1651. She and her husband John Nuthall appeared in the county court to address the false accusation of adultery made by Bess Gaskins the previous summer [45] They were preparing to go to England and did not want this accusation to negatively influence their reception and business in London. Gaskins was found guilty, punished, and a court document issued to Elizabeth and John which exonerated Elizabeth.[46]

As mentioned above, Elizabeth gave a deposition regarding the will of Elizabeth Turner, orphan, to brother Phillipp Taylor on 28 August 1654. [47] [48]

Education

It is unknown whether Elizabeth had any formal education. She signed her 1654 deposition with an X. [47]

Occupation

In addition to being a wife, mother and homemaker with the help of several servants, Elizabeth's home was a congregation point for her neighbors. Court records indicate that Elizabeth tended the sick, skills she likely learned while the wife of John Holloway. [49] Additionally, she traded goods and tended to day-laborers and those passing-by. After John Nuthall was appointed to the Northampton County Commissioners in 1653, it is likely that she entertained members of that esteemed group.[50]

Death

John Nuthall married Jane nee' Larrimore Johnson on 12 September 1660[51], so Elizabeth died between August 1654 when she gave a court deposition and before 12 September 1660 when John married Jane Johnson. The year is likely closer to 1654 as Elias evidently was given to someone in Virginia as a servant for his upbringing.[52] John likely felt ill-equipped to raise a very young child. It was not unusual for father's in similar situations during this time in the Colonies to employ this practice. One example occurred with John, Philip and Susannah the children of William Cecil (c. 1665-1749) who were given to Mareen Duvall to raise.[53]

In fact, she died in September 1657 and was buried 16 September 1657 in section 1, 2nd row of the churchyard of St. Leonard's in Shoreditch, Middlesex, England {London} [54] Members of the Nuttall, Holloway, Tilley and many more associated families were living in Shoreditch at the time.[55] She and John made multiple trips to London, England. Elizabeth may have died of plague, typhus, malaria, smallpox, consumption, tuberculosis, or flu which still waged in Europe and England. In 1657 4 deaths were attributed to plague, 56 to typhus (called "spotted fever and purples," 835 to smallpox, 997 to fever and 2,757 to consumption.[56]

Research Notes

Not Born a Bacon

There is no proof that her birth surname was BACON. This was likely a carryover by earlier researchers who believed her to be a Kingsmill descendant, which has now been disproved. [57]

Regarding this Elizabeth nee' Kingsmill Bacon: Here lyeth the body of Elizabeth, the wife of the Honorable Nathaniel Bacon, Esq., who departed this life the second day of November One Thousand Six Hundred and Ninety-One, in the Sixty-Second year of her age." This tomb was brought from King's Creek, James River, at request of Rev. N. A. Okeson, D. D. Elizabeth Bacon was the wife of Col. Nathaniel Bacon. He was President of the Virginia Council and a cousin of young Nathaniel Bacon, the patriot of 1675. She was a daughter of Richard Kingswell [Kingsmill], gent, and was married first to Capt. William Taylor, also member of Virginia Council.

Also, Doliante, stated that she was NOT the daughter of James and Martha (Woodward) Bacon[58]

There was one Elizabeth Bacon who lived in Accomack and Northampton counties at the same time as Elizabeth Holloway. However, she was the servant/consort of John Little and her surname was recorded as Bacon in a 1647 court document [59] which was several years after the marriage of Elizabeth to John Nuthall.

A search for Bacon and Nuthall using William Brown's (brother of PM Beth Golden) FTDNA kit results in one Bacon but four that include both surnames. This reflects the nature of searching in FTDNA and Ancestry.com based on surnames, as the family tree associated with the sole Bacon result has the incorrect Kingsmill lineage for Elizabeth. The small number of matches also shows how autosomal DNA becomes diluted over time and will not reflect all who share the same ancestors hundreds of years ago. That being said, the centimorgans and longest block length are: 39|17, 42|11, 41|11 and 28|10.

Using the above centimorgan range a search for Bacon at Ancestry.com results in 6 matches. Of these, four relate to other Bacon families but have relationships with the Brown family through other surnames and the remaining two do not have public trees in order to compare surnames.

Born a Tyllye

Briefly, the rationale for accepting this as Elizabeth was born to John and Avis Tyllye:

John Tylley was baptized in St. Martin's Church, North Nibley on 20 September 1622, son of Robert, making him Elizabeth's first cousin.

John Tylley (later known in Virginia as John Tilney) was transported by John Holloway and was his close friend.

John Holloway was also baptized in St. Martin's Church on 28 August 1614.

A preponderance of evidence found during extensive research of online primary sources for London, indicate that the Tyllye and Holloway (spelling variations) families, along with numerous associated families (including Dale, Throckmorton, Bedle, Tyndale (Tindale), Smyth (Smith), Parsons and Carroll were neighbors in North Nibley and Aldgate Within and Without, and Shoreditch, London, prior to moving to Virginia. Additionally, the Nuthall family lived in Shoreditch and Aldgate Within and Without.

Elizabeth Talley was transported by Benjamin Carrall along with 3 others including John Holloway.

Elizabeth and John Holloway's daughter was named Priscilla. It may be that the granddaughter of Elizabeth's first cousin, John Tilney (abt.1618-bef.1701) was also named Priscilla. She being the daughter John Tilney's daughter, Elizabeth. [60] [61] [62] Some researchers claim that Elizabeth Tilney was a daughter of John Tilney and married John Eyre, but this appears not to be documented with primary sources. Also, John Eyre, an ironmonger, wrote his Will in 1680,[63] placing the Eyre family in the general vicinity of North Nibley.

John Holloway, Elizabeth’s first husband had a special relationship with Lady/Dame Dale. Elizabeth Dale’s sister was Precilla. She was born about 1576 in Tortworth, Gloucestershire, England (near North Nibley); married Sir Nathaniel Whealeigh (Wheatleigh/Wheatley); and died after April 15, 1630 in Somerset, England. Sir Whealeigh was born about 1571 in Tingsboro, Somerset, England (Tingsboro, Somerset might be an historical location as it seems to no longer exist) and died about 1620 in Somerset, England.[64] In Precilla’s Will, dated 30 April 1630, she gave Lady Dale her wedding ring among other items indicating a close relationship.[65] It may be that Elizabeth Holloway, a widow when Priscilla was born, knew of affection between John and Lady/Dame Elizabeth nee’ Throckmorton Dale and named their daughter Precilla/Priscilla. No records showing a direct relationship of the Throckmorton family to Elizabeth Tyllye Holloway or John Holloway have been located.

Lady/Dame Dale's relative was Robert Throckmorton who married Alice Bedle. Robert and family are buried in St. Leonard's Church, Shoreditch, London, connecting them with the Holloway, Tilley, Parsons and associated families. Holloway listed John Bedle, his servant[66] and apparently a close friend, in his Will immediately following his bequest to his Elizabeth and their unborn child.

Are you proposing that Elizabeth Tyllye was BORN in 1638, or just BAPTIZED then? If she was born in 1638, she was 12 years old when she married John Holloway in 1642-43. Is that reasonable? (Rebecca Clarke)
posted by Rebecca Clarke
Actually the birth year is 1628.

Attention Project Person, Request #2

Would someone please change Elizabeth's last name at birth to Tyllye? I'll then merge this profile with Tyllye-2. Right now Elizabeth is showing has having herself as a sister :D Thanks so much!

Sorry for the delay. I have solicited help from the Project Leaders which we will need to change the LNAB. Meanwhile, it looks like the bio needs clean up as it still refers to the dispute on her LNAB. Could you craft a "Research Notes" section explaining the dispute as to her LNAB and citing the sources you mentioned which establish that it should be Tylle?
posted on Unknown-544525 (merged) by Scott McClain
Thanks Scott! I've been waiting on Elizabeth to have her LNAB corrected to Tyllye before I cleaned-up her profile. In addition to her LNAB, I've new, documented info to include, some things to change, etc. But perhaps that preference was the 'cart before the horse.'

This is a bit frustrating, since I'm the PM who requested the PPP status to begin with :)

posted on Unknown-544525 (merged) by Beth (Brown) Golden
Elizabeth's bio has been tweaked as requested. I'm not skilled at formatting repeating citations - sorry - so any assistance with that is most appreciated.

Looks good. I have asked that PPP be removed so you can change the LNAB and merge the profiles.
posted on Unknown-544525 (merged) by Scott McClain
I've removed PPP to allow the merge. Please let me know when it's been completed so that it can be replaced. Thanks, Scott.

Attention Project Person: I'm ready to add Elizabeth's last name at birth and her parents- all with primary sources. Would you please allow me access since I'm a profile manager? Thanks! Note, parents are now in WT with daughter Elizabeth (Tyllye) Holloway Nuthall [Tyllye-2] so a merge will need to be done....

I think you should be able to make those changes as the profile manager so please try, and if it won't allow it please post again and I'll get a project leader to remove the PPP temporarily to allow your edits. Thanks for your work on the profile.

One question though - why do you believe that this Elizabeth is the one who was baptized on 1 June 1628 in St. Martin's Church, North Nibley, Gloucestershire?
posted on Unknown-544525 (merged) by Scott McClain
Thanks, Scott! You're most welcome for my work on Elizabeth's profile. It's my pleasure and privilege to tell my 9th ggm's story.

I'm able to make edits to the text but can't change her last name at birth from Unknown. Can I just merge her with Tyllye-2 which I created while adding her parents to WT?

Why is she the same as the wife of John Holloway and John Nuthall? Briefly: She, John Tilley [Tilney-159] whom Holloway had transported to Virginia and John Holloway were all baptized there; Elizabeth and John Holloway's daughter was named Priscilla; John Holloway had a special relationship with Lady Dale whose sister was Priscilla; Priscilla Throckmorton was born in Tortworth, Gloucestershire near North Nibley; Lady Elizabeth and Priscilla Throckmorton's relative was Robert Throckmorton who married Alice Bedle and Robert and family are buried in St. Leonard's Church, Shoreditch, London, connecting them with the Holloway, Tilley, Parsons and associated families who were also members of St. Leondards; Holloway listed John Bedle, whom he had transported and apparently a close friend or relative, as he is in Holloway's Will immediately following his bequest to his wife Elizabeth and their unborn child; records for Throckmorton, Dale, Bedle (Biddle), Smyth/Smith, Taylor, Tyndall (Tindale) and other related families with connections to colonial Virginia including the locations where Holloway lived were also found in North Nibley and in nearby places in Gloucestershire; and the Elizabeth Tyllye born in North Nibley is not found in other marriage and death records. All of this information is sourced with primary documentation gathered over months of in-depth research.

Thanks again!

I'm continuing my research into the life of Elizabeth and finding many more facts about her and her 2 husbands, including her last name at birth and birth place. Much of this will be added to this profile by the end 2021, the 354th anniversary of her death. All of what I've found is being incorporated into my biography of her and her 2 Johns due to be self-published by 31 Dec 2021. If you're curious before then, please feel free to contact me or post a comment here. Beth Golden

Frankie and David, I've been extensively researching Elizabeth and have a lot to add to her profile. Would you please add me as PM? 2 things of major importance are her birth year and no proof that she was born a Bacon. May I make these changes and additions? Thanks!

I took care of this yesterday. Great job on the bio notes on John Holloway!

Thanks so much, Frankie, for both adding me as PM and for your compliments on the bio for John Holloway. I still have more to add to his life's story :D
posted on Bacon-366 (merged) by Beth (Brown) Golden
Unfortunately, I'm consumed with other research at this time and can't devote the time needed to refine this profile. So, I'm attaching a pdf of some research that I've done on Elizabeth. I hope that it helps!

I've done quite a bit of research into Elizabeth Bacon Holloway Nuthall and would be glad to share.

You are such a sweetheart, Beth! Of course, you may share. Always happy to have you work and share on our mutual line.

Thanks, Frankie! I'm still engrossed with my research of Jane Prather Smith and writing her extensive biography. Please remind me in about a month to share my research on Elizabeth :D

Bacon-366 and Bacon-2951 appear to represent the same person because: Looks like Duplicates?

Bacon-366 and Bacon-2523 appear to represent the same person because: Both Bacon persons are identical

Bacon-2723 and Bacon-366 appear to represent the same person because: Parents are wrong. I do have her in the correct family, I believe.
