The parish of St. Mary Newington Surrey in England is one
we've kept our eye on for the origins of the Northumberland VA
Shirleys.
Elizabeth Jadwin of St. Mary Newington
Surrey England
The 1638 will of Elizabeth Jadwin of St. Mary Newington Surrey,
the widow of Thomas Jadwin, named her sister Sibill Wright and
"cousin" Thomas Sherley.
According to the article in the New Eng Hist and Gen Soc.
Journal, Jadwin is the step mother of Robert Jadwyn whose
son John patented 650 acres of land on the S. side of the
Rappahanooc R. in Virginia in 1658.
Supposedly Sybil Wright's sister Elizabeth Jadwin's maiden
name was Baker. She was a Simonds at the time of her marriage
to Jadwin. Therefore Sybil's maiden name was Baker.
Administration of Sybil Sherley Wright of Newington Surrey-
1644 Sybil Wright als Sherley -16th day became known Thomas Sherley
natural son [filio naturali] of Sybil Wright als Sherley
of St. Maria Newington in the county of Surrey lately deceased
granted administration of estate and took oath.
Administration of Thomas Sherley of Newington Surrey -
Thomas Sherley - 27th day became known Joanne Sherley widow and
relict of Thomas Sherley lately deceased of St. Maria Newington
in the county of Surrey granted administration of the deceased
estate and took oath.
Another set of abstracts suggest that Sybil Wright had married
a Malthus previously to marrying Shirley. In the 1640s, a John
Malthus sued Sybil Malthus and then after her death sued her
son Thomas Shirley. This would suggest that her Malthus husband
died and the son sued for his inheritance. And then sued Thomas
Shirley after Sybil's death (and following her remarriage to
Wright). A John Malthus was mentioned in the 1638 will of Elizabeth
Jadwin (above)
The Malthus name is a bit rare, and the main Malthus (Malthouse)
family bunch comes from Shinfield in Berkshire...where there
are lots of Shirleys.

Connection to Robert Sherley of Westmoreland Co Virginia
1. Robert Jadwyn (related to Sybil Sherley Wright) patented land
both in Westmoreland and Northumberland.
2. Jonathan Jadwyn (brother of Robert) is in Westmoreland Co
and is involved with John Dodman, gent who Robert Shirley
seems to be heavily involved with (as a clerk?) both in Virginia
and Maryland
May 1656 (sic). Ger. Dodson attorney of Mr. Wm. Botham
do authorize my lo: freinds Mr John Dodman or Mr. Wm Webb my
attorneys to acknowledge the sale of land which I assigned over
toRichard Heabeard with the pattent. Signed: Ger. (Gervess) Dodson;
Witness: Jonathan Jedwen. Source: "Westmoreland Co.,
VA Records, 1658-1661
Thomas Shirley of Northumberland
While the link between Thomas Shirley of N'land and Surrey
England is at best speculation at this point, it is interesting
to note that Thomas Shirley was transported into Virginia (probably
from Maryland) with a person named Robert Bridley [Bradley]
21 Feb 1658/59 . Order Book 1657-1661 pg 201 These are to
certify that Mary Rayner widowe made her right appeare to 500
acres for transportacon of 10 persons into this country: Thomas
Sherly, Judith Palmer, Hen. Hapney, Demanen Gamber, Eliz
Johnson, Siserly Crowde, Robert Bridley [Bradley?], Henry
Reade, William Landrum, Henry Rayner.
AND THEN
1689. Court of May 22, 1689: Petition of Robert Bradley, Exor...
of the last will of John Roach, probate to him by etwe of Edward
Williams, John West and Thomas Shirley
Supposedly, this Robert Bradley was born in Bermondsey Southwark
Surrey (the same location as Newington)
Robert Bradley was apparently convicted of crimes before coming
to the United States. It is unknown what the crimes were, however
it is believed that they were either political or religious,
ie: acts that were construed as against the Crown or the Church
of England. But on 2/9/1656 he was pardoned of all crimes providing
he be transported to the plantations
(United States) as soon as possible and does not try to escape
for 10 years. Records of his conviction apprently have not been
found. He was listed as being from St. Mary Magdalene, Bermondsey.
WAS THOMAS SHIRLEY ALSO TRANSPORTED WITH BRADLEY FOR THE SAME
REASON (SOME SORT OF POLITICAL/RELIGIOUS BEHAVIOR)? WAS THOMAS
SHIRLEY FROM THIS PART OF SURREY (A CATHOLIC STRONGHOLD) |
