Biography

Susannah (Brooke) Wadding is a Qualifying Ancestor of the Jamestowne Society

Susanna Brooke

26 Mar 1662: Headright Of William Drummond, VA, USA (16, 63). Susanna Chiles [An inspection of the original patent confirmed this name as correct] was listed as a headright in the land patent of William Drummond for land in James City County, dated March 26, 1662. [L.P. Bk 4, 12; Nugent I:400] William Drummond owned land adjoining land of Walter Chiles.^[1]

20 Nov 1673: Kemp House/Masion House, James Citty, James City Co., VA, USA (57). "Deed of James WADDING, of the County and Parish of James, City Clerk, & Susannah, his wife, late the wife and executrix of Walter CHILES, of James City, aforesaid, Gent. dec'd. to John PAGE of Bruton Parish in the County of York, Merchant, 20 Nov 1673, all that mennage or mansion, late in tenure of Richard KEMP, and by him conveyed to Sir Francis WYATT, and purchased by Sir William BURKLEY of Captain William PIERCE, Attorney of Sir Francis WYATT, together with 3 acres granted by order of said court, to Sir Francis Wyatt, and adjoining the said land, and conveyed 20 Mar 1649 to Walter CHILES, Sr., gentleman of James Citty, father of Walter CHILES, Jr., dec'd. by 1653, leaving Walter CHILES, eldest son and heir at law, who entered and built a brick house in length 37 feet, adjoining the aforesaid mansion and made his will November 15, 1671, directing that his brick house with land, etc., should be sold and the proceeds added to the said Walter Chiles' estate, therefore they convey all that said mansion house, hertofore in possession of Thomas SULLY, and all that mennage or tenement built by the said Walter CHILES, lately in tenure of Major Theophilas HOWE, etc. Dated November 25, 1673. It may be presumed that Colonel John PAGE, was guardian of John and Elizabeth CHILES, his grandchildren, and purchased the property for the purpose of settling the estate. As John CHILES was left only a ring in the will of Colonel John PAGE, and Elizabeth mentioned more generously, I deem that the solution of the seeming partiality was in his having transferred property and the 200 acres mentioned by later deed, also as eldest son and heir at large of Walter CHILES, who married Rev. James WADDINGS after 15 May 1672, for on that date she received as his widow (Walter's) a grant of 2000 acres in Passbehaves for 99 years on account of buildings and improvements on the Main, there made by Walter CHILES, according to the order of the general Court of 7 June 1638, for strengthening the Main, on this side of Powhatan Swamp, by leasing it out in parcels."

Note

Alternate dates for Birth, 1640: Marriage, 1668: Death, 1694. these should be checked further.
