Biography

Mary (Woodard) Stapp was born in Buckinghamshire, England.

JOHN1 STAPP was born Abt. 1610 in Buckinghamshire, England, and died Abt. 1658 in England. He married MARY WOODWARD.

Notes for JOHN STAPP:

Wayne Stepp, in his "Stepp Family Chronicles" mentions a John Stepp, of

Fowey, England, who was Master of a ship called the "William and Ann", which

was built in the Colonies about 1690.

Many Stapp/Stepp researches believe John is the father of Abraham, but this is an assumption at this time.

Children of JOHN STAPP and MARY WOODWARD are:

i. JOSEPH2 STAPP, b. Abt. 1642, England; d. 1750.

2. ii. ABRAHAM SR. STAPP, b. Abt. 1646, Buckinghamshire, England; d. April 18, 1714, Essex County, VA..

iii. JOSHUA STAPP, b. 1650; d. Abt. 1695, Henrico County, Virginia.

More About JOSHUA STAPP:

Fact 1: Joshua Stapp 1659-1750 (Source: Stepp/Stapp Families of America by Henry P. Scalf.)

Fact 2: Joshua Stapp 1650-1695 (Source: Stepp Family Chronicles.)

Genealogists are inclined to believe this John Stapp of Buckingham was the ancestor of the American Stapps and since this hazardous assumption is entertained his will is examined here in some detail. It was dated December 12, 1657 and proven April 3, 1658 in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury, which had overriding jurisdiction in all England with sole jurisdiction in certain other instances. Stapp had acquired considerable properties in Newport-Fagnell. To his wife, Mary, he left his dwelling house in Newport-Pagnell and "all my barns, stables and garden orchard and yard in Newport." His widow was to receive a house in London and "five tenements with yard garden orchard.... in Surry." She received a tract of twenty acres in Buckingham. To "Joan Peet, wife of Marke ? Peet of "Ellington in the countie of Huntington" he gave one hundred pounds of good and lawful money of England to be equally divided and given unto her and John Peet her sonne and Elizabeth Pette her daughter and Martha Peet her daughter or to as many of them as shall be living at the time of my wife's decease." Mary Stapp was made executrix and George Stancliffe, the testator's brother-in-law, and Thomas.... were named to assist her. Stancliffe witnessed the instrument.
