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)
- G - Guild member (non-immigrant)

- 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 used to have a list of names added to/dropped from the QA list since it was first compiled. That list was last updated in May 2017 and can be found still courtesy of archive.org's Wayback Machine: 2 January 2018 capture (accessed 16 January 2024). Later changes have been published in the Society's magazine (see, for example, page 9 of the Spring 2019 issue).
- 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 [10]
- Berkeley, Sir William [23]
- 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)

- ↑ 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.

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.

So the listing of the dead "since April last" refers to April 1623.

I was working on some related profiles and adopted Thomas Jarvis (Jarvis-1059) which was created in 2013. Jarvis-4814 also has the Jamestowne Society ancestor sticker and some information attempting to claim to be the same person. However, he is only attached to his son Thomas (Jarvis-4335: Governor in Northern Carolina) who was much older than the minor son "Thomas Jarvis" mentioned in Thomas's (Jarvis-1059) 1684 will. The younger Thomas was still under age in 1692 when he requested his step-father serve as his guardian. NCPedia and the North Carolina Archives state that Governor Jarvis' parents haven't been positively identified. There is an article in the W&M Quarterly from 1900 which suggests Jarvis-1059 was the progenitor of those who later lived in North Carolina, which seems to be the origin of that idea he was the father of Governor Jarvis. Whether Jarvis-4814 becomes "Unknown" Jarvis and remains father of Jarvis-4335 or is detached from his son and merged into Jarvis-1059, The profile for Jarvis-1059 should be identified as the WikiTree profile for the list above. Please consider including the link.
Thanks, Brett
From the Society: Jarvis, Thomas - A4207; died April 1684, Elizabeth City Co.: 1680-82 (Burgess).
I took a look at the two profiles...
Text for the two overlaps, and there's a statement in Jarvis-4814 that implies they may be conflated: "He was born about the year 1600, unless conflated with his son of the same name."
That implies the born 1620 Thomas is the son of the Thomas born c1600.
Aside from both having the Jamestown Society sticker, it doesn't seem to me that they're the same. Chad is manager of Jarvis-4814... has he replied to your post on that profile yet?
A comment on Jarvis-4814:
From WILLS AND ADMINSTRATONS OF ELIZABETH CITY COUNTY, VIRGINIA 1688 - 1800 (Found on Ancestry.com) -
Jarvis, Thomas - Will dated April 6, 1684. Exs. wife Elizabeth, George Richards and Edmond Moss. Suit over his property to be sold to defray debts and the remainder to be divided between Elizabeth Hole (sic) his then wife and defendant Thomas Jarvis his son. March 5, 1692/93. Book 1689 - 1699, pg. 76. Edward Hole the husband of Elizabeth and guardian of Thomas Jarvis, INFANT.
One of the sources on that profile: Minute books, order books and court records, 1684-1861, Virginia. County Court (Elizabeth City County), Genealogical Society of Utah, Salt Lake City, UT, 1947 (1684-1699 Book, pp. 206-208; pp. 76 original pagination) https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QS7-89PC-QSPG?i=116&cat=55874 NB: filmed records are a transcript in modern cursive, and the clause mentioning the parties of the suit appears in Latin
I saw that Chad has responded to another comment within the past week, but he hasn't responded to me about this yet.
The statement on Jarvis-4814: "He was born about the year 1600, unless conflated with his son of the same name." probably refers to Governor Thomas Jarvis of Currituck, NC. I couldn't find anything suggesting an estimate for Capt. Thomas Jarvis' birth date except him being very active for a man supposedly in his eighth to ninth decades living in the 17th century. 1620 is probably too early.
There are discrepancies between the cursive transcript of original Elizabeth City County records appearing on microfilm images available on FamilySearch versus the typewritten transcript appearing on Ancestry. In the microfilm images, "Edward Foster" appears (as he does for the transcript of Thomas Jarvis' April 6, 1684 will recorded in London - Va. Colonial Records Project) instead of "Edmund Moss" in the version on Ancestry. Thomas' widow Elizabeth's second husband appears as Edward "Mole" in the microfilmed record instead of "Hole" which appears on Ancestry.
There doesn't seem to have been more than one Thomas Jarvis of age in Elizabeth City, Virginia who over the space of five years took charge of Nathaniel Bacon's estate as the widow's new husband, served as Burgess, supported her claim to Bacon's disputed land in Suffolk, England, then finally wrote his will in 1684 in London. At least, that seems to have been the consensus of research when McCartney published "Jamestown People..." in 2012. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find anything about his minor son Thomas, widow Elizabeth and her next husband Edward Mole after their appearance in Elizabeth City records concerning litigation with regard to Thomas Jarvis' estate. It's possible they may have returned to England.
You might want to go ahead and propose the merge, noting that the birth year of 1620 is too early based on available evidence and suggest an alternative year (be sure to include "Estimated Date" info in Research Notes if complicated/as a footnote if not* in the profile you're proposing be merged with the one Chad manages). You could also include a link to your answer here (right-click on the clickable "posted" in the "posted xx ago by Brett Martin" line to get the URL).
* Or Research Notes either way. I've been working on a Magna Carta trail and my penchant for footnotes is not share by the reviewers there - they want just sources in the f/ns & stuff like an explanation about an estimated date in Research Notes or the Biography proper (not as a footnote).
William St John Knight (abt.1562-bef.1638)
edited by Suzanne St. John
goes to that list at https://www.jamestowne.org/qualifying-ancestors.html
William St John is not on that list, so he's not eligible to be added to this one.
If he _has_ been designated as a qualifying ancestor by the Society but has not been added to the linked list, please provide the URL of the announcement & I can get him set up.
Cheers, Liz
The Society website has >this list< of names dropped from the QA list since it was first compiled.
Cheers, Liz
https://www.jamestowne.org/qualifying-ancestors.html is the currently posted list of QAs and is "as of July 2019", according to the text on that page, but the two names noted as additions in the Spring 2019 issue of the Society's magazine (page 9) are not included (there is a bit of a lag time between approval and updating the official "Jamestowne Society Register of Qualifying Seventeenth-Century Ancestors").
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.
