Checklist of Jamestowne Society Qualifying Ancestors
as currently listed on the Society website [1] as of 31 Aug 2018. Note: The Society's newsletter includes announcements of new Qualifying Ancestors that might not be immediately added to the list.
- F - Female
- A - Applications
- A - An application based on this ancestor has been accepted [2]
- Q - Qualification
- R - Resident or landowner, pre-1625 (anywhere in Virginia)
- L - Resident or landowner, post-1625 (Jamestown Island only)
- B - Burgess, Councillor, Governor, Treasurer etc
- C - Anglican clergyman
- I - Indian interpreter
- N - Personal investor (non-immigrant)

- d - Descendant of a Magna Carta Gateway Ancestor
- s - Spouse of a Magna Carta Gateway Ancestor (non-trail)

- D - Lines of descent are traced in the book [3]
- J - Jamestowne Ancestors (Davis, 2006)
Work in progress - the list of names is complete, but the WikiTree IDs and flags are ongoing, so absence means nothing at this time.
- The QA list seems to have originated with a much shorter pre-1625 list inspired by the Order of First Families of Virginia. This corresponds to the R and N groups above, and is essentially the qualification for inclusion in Adventurers of Purse and Person, where lines of descent are traceable. Names in those groups appear to be listed only where a line of descent is known.
- That list, probably too small for a viable Society, has been greatly extended by adding the whole of the 17th-century administrative, political and religious establishment of Virginia, irrespective of where they lived. Burgesses etc appear to have been added wholesale, apparently from the Jamestowne Ancestors book initially, without investigation of whether lines of descent are known. The appearance of such a name in the QA list should not therefore be taken to confirm that the Society has certified a line of descent.
- The QA list as such does not show which of the people listed have been the basis of accepted applications. This information is available in the Society's printed Register ($13), and also from this online list. The Society reserves the right to change its mind: connection of new applications to existing applications is accepted, but only with current permission. Copies of accepted applications can be bought for $38 each.
- People who qualify in other respects might be omitted from the QA list if on investigation there seems to be no provable line of descent, in order to discourage pointless applications through well-known undocumented connections (of which many are in circulation). The Society website has this list of names dropped from the QA list since it was first compiled.
- The QA list is not closed. Applications based on unlisted ancestors will be considered, in principle, though obviously they're unlikely to succeed if they say nothing new. There could be many people who qualify but are not yet listed. The completeness of the QA list is discussed here.
- All early investors qualify, even if they never left England. Bizarrely this includes all members of all the many London Guilds which invested corporately. In practice, the only non-immigrants likely to appear in the list are those whose children or grandchildren immigrated to Virginia in the 17th century.
- All pre-1700 politicians and Anglican ministers in Virginia qualify, even if their plantations or parishes were a long way from Jamestown.
- All early Virginia immigrants (down to the 1624/5 Muster) qualify, irrespective of where they lived, including the Eastern Shore. But if they became councillors or burgesses at any time, before or after the Muster, this tends to be shown on the website as the operative qualification.
- A small number of black people were in Virginia before 1625, but are not identifiable, so not listed. (But see Driggers-126)
- Pocahontas is the only Native American on the QA list. The ancestry of later Native Americans cannot be documented back to the pre-1625 era.
- In some cases, not all, the spouse of a qualifying ancestor would also qualify. Some of these are listed, but apparently some not. Of course it makes no difference to the membership application.
Not listed, but might qualify?
- Thomas Bouldinge (Ancient Planter. At Elizabeth City in the 1624/5 Muster. Not in Dorman)
- A Richard Eyers is named here as a burgess, but isn't in the list of burgesses. Investigate
Listed, but might not qualify?
- Argall, Sir Samuel [8]
- Berkeley, Sir William [22]
- Blaney, Edward Blaney - no descendants?
- Farley, Thomas - no descendants?
- Norwood, Charles - ditto
- Norwood, Henry - ditto
- Smith, Capt. John - ditto
- Wingfield, Edward Maria - ditto?
Some unlisted early residents, but probably non-qualifiers
- Powell, Capt. William - descendants reported extinct
- (Unknown) Powell Blaney West, Margaret
- Edward Rogers
- John Box
- William Box - 3rd Supply
- Bartholomew Wetherby - Ancient Planter
- Col. John Smith - probably not a Burgess (confused with Francis Dade)

- ↑ Based on evidence in Stanard and Tyler, this William Batt is the same as William Batte. He served first in Surry 1654, then Elizabeth City, 1658-59.

- ↑ 29.0 29.1 It appears from text in McIlwaine Journals of the House of Burgesses of Virginia, Vol. 1, pages 10 & 52, that Thomas Ceely and Thomas Seely are the same person.
- ↑ 30.0 30.1 The website says he was a Burgess but that might not be right. He qualifies by being in the 1624/5 Muster. News on a line of descent would be interesting.
- ↑ 31.0 31.1 31.2 WikiTree bios of father and son are conflated and confused (at time of writing)

- ↑ 1st wife of John Wilkins, profile needs to be created.
- ↑ 35.0 35.1 Presumably Dorman shows Raleigh as the father of Joseph, as otherwise neither would qualify to be in the book. But McCartney has no mention of Joseph, who evidently appears in no Virginia records in her timeframe

- ↑ Richard Foster is not included on the Jamestowne Society list of Seventeenth Century Qualifying Ancestors. He is, however, included on this Checklist. For information as to why, see note on his profile.
- ↑ Removed Gaither-179. See comment & evidence on profile proving he is wrong person.

- ↑ Supposedly Burgess from Nansemond 1661-65. Cannot locate anyone with surname "Gwillen" in records as Burgess. Not in Stanard, not in McIlwaine Journals. Only Burgess found in records during this time period is George Wallings, 1662/3 from Nansemond. Perhaps somehow the spelling of "Wallings" was transmuted into "Gwillen." Also not found in Jester or Dorman.
- ↑ Problem with two Reverends, both named Thomas Hampton, uncle (not on WikiTree) and nephew, Thomas Hampton. They appear to be conflated on the Jamestowne List of Qualifying Ancestors, but with errors. Both served as Anglican minister in York and James City Counties. Jamestowne list gives dates b 16 April 1623, d by 1677. Uncle was born about 1609 and died 1647/48. Nephew was born 16 April 1623 and died 1690.
- ↑ Thomas Haynes was not Burgess from Lancaster County, Virginia, 1671-1676. Jamestowne Society appears to have made an error including Thomas Haynes as Burgess. No source located to confirm any Thomas Haynes as Burgess from Lancaster Co. Both McIlwaine (Journals of House of Burgesses) and Stanard (Colonial Virginia Register) list other people as Burgess from Lancster Co. during those years.
- ↑ Unable to locate any documentation to support his inclusion here. He is listed on the QA Lineage Paper Project as QA Reynold Henley A9438. See note on his profile.
- ↑ It is possible this is a duplicate with variant spelling of Hayrick, Thomas, A3706
- ↑ 54.0 54.1 Immigrated to Plymouth Colony on the Fortune in 1621
- ↑ 55.0 55.1 55.2 John Hoddin A3908, Burgess 1642, and John Holden A3910, Burgess 1643, appear to be the same person. Only John Hoddin included in Stanard for 1642-43. McIlwaine, v.1. 1619-1658/59, lists both John Hoddin and John Holden on page xvii, but only Hoddin appears on that page. No profile found on WikiTree for either.
- ↑ Not enough information on the profile and from his Jamestowne Society entry to determine if the profile represents the John Holland who was Burgess for Westmoreland County (1654-55).

- ↑ 80.0 80.1 Hotten, Dorman and McCartney all take it that 16 Feb 1623 is the date on the original document, and therefore in Old Style, denoting Feb 1623/4, 2 years after the Massacre; as apparently does this editor on p. 35, where he says that the census took place almost 5 years after August 1619. So the listing of the dead "since April last" refers to April 1623. But the Editor's Note on p. 61 miscalculates that "April last" means April 1622, and so makes a connection with the Massacre that isn't there.
- ↑ 81.0 81.1 The relation between Hotten's version and the Colonial Records version is unclear. Differences seem to be minor
- ↑ Assuming the Burgess was the nephew not the uncle (who has no known descendants anyway)
- ↑ WikiTree believes that the early resident (sailed 1620) and the later inhabitant of Lower Norfolk County were different people. Dorman makes them the same person, as apparently does the Jamestowne Society (since, if there were two people, neither would qualify).
- ↑ Searched WikiTree for a profile in June 2020 and found no suitable candidate.

The Lightfoot-91 profile for John Lightfoot has his dath in 1707 and notes that he is the John Lightfoot who was a Councillor: "There were other men named John Lightfoot in Virginia in 1705, but this John was a member of the Virginia Council so he is likely the man referenced below."
You note that the "John Lightfoot who is the QA for JS is Captain John Lightfoot II brother Immigrant and Gateway ancestor and brother of Philip Lightfoot."
The Lightfoot brothers who are gateway ancestors are John Lightfoot (bef.1627-aft.1685) and Philip Lightfoot (abt.1646-1708). It is John's son John who is the JSQA.
The entry was previously conflating Peter Knight (1587–1674), Merchant, of Gloucester VA, and Captain Peter Knight (1620–1705), of Northumberland VA.
Knight, Peter - A4608; born ca. 1620, died 1705, Gloucester Co.: 1660, 1661-62 (Burgess).
Captain Peter Knight (1620–1705), of Northumberland VA, is now listed.
Knight, Peter - A4608; died 1705, Northumberland Co.; 1684, 1685-1686 (Burgess).
He's listed as the ancestor of a new member in the Fall 2015 newsletter - http://www.jamestowne.org/uploads/1/9/4/9/19493717/jamestowne_society_newsletter_2015_fall__4_.pd.pdf
I couldn't find information about him though. And that's concerning... The QA list goes from A2806 to A20808:
Should we keep the link on our list to his profile?
I don't know how to determine if that profile is the correct one without more info. Perhaps note that it's probably him in the same note saying he doesn't appear to be currently listed as a QA?
I found the source for the ship, but cannot add the Jamestown Sticker due to the date of arrival.

Mary - This list is for Jamestowne Society Qualifying Ancestors. The criteria for a Qualifying Ancestor of the Jamestowne Society extends beyond the 1624/5 muster.

I did a search in the Charles Parish Register (one of York County's parishes) & came up empty for Luddington: https://catalog.hathitrust.org/Record/001874205
I did a search in WikiTree & found only the "not Virginia" William Luddington: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Luddington-85
Before we could start a profile for the William shown as a York County Burgess in 1646, we'd need a bit more info on him.
