John L. Witt, II married Lavinia Ann Rogers
Children:
Sarah Witt [1043] ++ Harbour
John Witt, III [1040]

     John, son of John Witt and Ann Daux, was born about 1675 in Charles City, County, Virginia. He died in Goochland County, Virginia before 1751. He married Lavina Anne Rogers, daughter of John Rogers and Elizabeth of Westover Parish. She was apparently not born until at least 1700, so she was probably a second wife, and not the mother of John Witt, III. John Rogers will of 1730 (Weisiger, Benjamin B., "Charles City County Wills and Deeds 1725-1731" p40, references Will Book D, p298) lists 4 daughters, two of which are still unmarried, suggesting they are all relatively young. John Witt's known children were John (c1700-1778+) and Sylvanus (<1718-1765+). Other possible children are Sarah ( -1777+, wife of Thomas Harbour); ? (wife of David Barnett) and ? (wife of John Farrar).

     On September 14, 1715, the brothers John and William Witt of Charles City County bought 300 acres in Henrico County (Weisiger, Benjamin B., "Henrico County Deeds 1706-1737", p 46). "Indentured made this 14th day of September in the year of our Lord God, One Thousand seven hundred and fifteen, between Charles Hudson and Mary his wife of the County of Charles City and John Witt and Wm Witt of the came county 300 acres more or less lying and being the county of Henrico at a place called Tuckahoe and bounded as in said indenture is sold to Jon Witt and Wm Witt taken possession 3 Oct 1715 in Henrico co, VA." (Virginia Land Patents 1682-1689-1695 Charles City County, Virginia). The land was "lying and being in the county of Honaricho at a place called Tuckahoe". This was about 25 miles north up the James from where there father had lived. The land was a few miles west of Tuckahoe Creek, and therefore fell into Goochland County in 1728 when the county was created, and the creek was used as the dividing line between Goochland and Henrico counties. This land was eventually sold in 1751 by William Witt and John Witt, III after John Witt, II had died. Prior to their purchase, the land had been refered to as the "Young Mens Adventure", and described as being on the north side of the James River on a southern branch of Tuckahoe Creek "known by the name of Bever Pond Branch", and just north of "three notched road" and just south of the Hanover County line. In the July, 1720 Henrico County Court, John and William Witt petitioned the court concerning the boundatys of their land (Henrico County Minute Book 8, p34). He is apparently listed as a tithable in the 1732 vestry records for King William Parish (Vestry Book of King William Parish, Virginia 1707-1770, Manakin Huguenot Society, 1966, pp 70) as "John Watt, Junior Watt, 2" (probably he and his son). In 1742, he is listed as "levy free" (Goochland Order Book 5, p60). On 25 July 1747, he sold 150 acres of land adjacent to the land purchased in 1715 (Goochland County Deed Book 5, p303). It has not been determined when this land was purchased.

[S410] William Prindle's Inventory


     William Prindle is of unknown descent. He was christened on July 31, 1628 in Stow, county Midlothian, Scotland. He may have been the brother of Ann Pringle who was christened there on November 20, 1630, and therefore the son of James Pringle who was born in 1602.
     He immigrated to New Haven, New Haven County, Connecticut sometime before 1653 when he is found there as "the Scotchman which lives at Mr. Allerton's".
     Several stories account his arrival: he was supposedly one of two brothers who left Scotland to get away from a harsh stepmother (There was a John Pringle in Milford, Conencticut as early as 1645); he was supposed to have been the son of one of the followers of King James of Scotland and came to America on the restoration of Charles the Second; and he may have been a blacksmith's apprentice whom was cruely treated by his master's wife, and after resisting, stowed aboard a westward ship to escape her wrath. The stories are not without conflict, but with liberties, could be combined into an accurate picture. Or possibly none are true.
     Shortly after arriving in New Haven, he took the oath of fidelity in New Haven, and became a freeman on April 4, 1654 ["Records of the Colony and Plantation of NewHaven from 1638 to 1649", pg 140].
     He is mentioned on February 20, 1661/62 at Old Meeting House when church seats were assigned . William bought 24 acres of land in what is now West Haven, known as "West Farms". The land lies between Main and Elm Streets and 2nd and 3rd Avenues. Some of the property was still in the possession of the Prindle family as late as 1906.
     He was probably born with the name Pringle, but when his will was written in New Haven on October 17, 1689, the spelling had changed to Prindle. This was probably due to the pronounciation of the Scottish 'g' being similar to the Enlgish 'd'. His estate was probated on June 5, 1690, so he must have died sometime between these dates. It is not known exactly where he is buried, but it is said to have been in the New Haven Green near a church or a flagpole.
     Along with running his farm, he was also employed as a chimeney sweep.

     John Hobby was the son of Jonathan Hobby and possibly Elizabeth _____. He was born in England about 1632 [Prindle, Paul W., "Ancestry of Elizabeth Barrett Gillespie", Polyanthos, c. 1976, pg 208]. He died in Greenwich, Fairfield County, Connecticut sometime between April 24, 1707, when his will was written, and May 26, 1707, when his estate was probated [Fairfield Probate Records, pg 5:11]. His is referred to in court records as both John Hubby, John Hubbe, and John Hobbe.
     John Hobby is first recorded on May 19, 1652 in Hartford, Connecticut in a court action where he failed to appear - his bond was ordered forfeited and he was held in contempt of court [Collections of the Connecticut Historical Society, pg: 22:109]. Winthrop noted a John Hobby in Massachusetts, most likely living in Dorchester, in 1637. This is probably a different person, or possibly his father [Winthrop, ii, 348].
     By 1656, he was in Newtown, later Middleburg, Queens County, Long Island, New York. One of the Newton, L. I. records proves that he is the same person as the later John Hobby of Greenwich, Connecticut, and other entries prove the identity of his wife, Sarah Gray [Town Minutes of Newtown, 2:210].
     He is first seen in the New Haven Colony in 1659 where he is the plaintiff in a case regarding owership of a horse [Hoadly, Charles J., "Records of the Colony or Jurisdiction of New Haven, 1653-1665", pg 141].
     He was one of the original seven propieters of Greenwich, Connecticut. These included men from Wetherfield, who moved to Stamford, and then to Greenwich.
     In the Greenwich Town Records for February 5, 1664/65, is an account of the first town meeting at which it was proposed to divide the "common lands by a rule of proportion, according to what each man's estate shall be visable..." The seven original proprietors were listed:

          Jeffre Ferris, Senr.
          Joshua Knapp, Senr.
          Joseph Ferris
          Jonathan Reynolds
          Angell Heusted
          John Mead, Senr.
          John Hobbe.

     On March 16, 1666, he was grnated that portion of the swamp that was adjacent to his property.
     At the town meeting of May 6, 1669, a proposition was considered to purchase Mioschassiky from the few Indians still living about the western end of the town. Jonathan Reynolds, Sargent Lockwood, Goodman Heusted, John Hobby and John Mead were appointed to make a survey "of Horseneck and the lands thereabouts to find whether or no there can bee a suitable encouragement in point of land and other consideration for the settlement of a township."
     The committee failed to complete the task due to the ill health of Jonathan Reynolds. A new Committee consisting of Sargent Lockwood, John Hobby, Joshua Knapp, John Reynolds and Mr. Hobby was reappointed.
     On December 28, 1669, a committee was appointed consisting of Jonathan Reynolds, Sarg. Lockwood, John Hobby, Joshua Knapp, John Mead and Joseph Mead, to free the town of all claims by Daniel Patrick Jr. who appeared laying claim to his father's lands. The committee bought him off, paying a horse, saddle and bridle, and 50 pounds.
     At the town meeting of February 6, 1670, the committee reported that the town had obtained the title to the Mioschassiky lands from the Indians. The land was laid out "to ye number of thirty lots, four acres to the homelot." These purchasers would be later called the "27 Proprietors of 1672." John Hobby was listed third. This area known as "Greenwich Old Towne", now Sound Beach, was first settled on the east side of the Myanos River. Horseneck, roughly what is now the modern city of Greenwich, Connecticut, was not settled until later. John Hobby is mentioned as "one of the original proprietors of Horse Neck" [Reynolds, M. T., "Reynolds Family, Stephen Reynolds Family", 1898. pg. 10].
     On December 30, 1670, he was granted part of the uppermost meadows lying south of the Westchester Path.
     In October of 1682, May of 1696, May of 1697, May of 1701, John Hobby served as Deputy to the General Court for Greenwich.
     In 1686 and again in 1695, he served as a town auditor, appraising buildings, lands and estates.
     On August 20, 1689, he sold land to Joseph Plamer.
     In 1692, he was a member of the 12 men petit jury which tried the witchcraft case of Elizabeth Clawson and Mercy Desborough at Fairfield, Conencticut.
     On December 14, 1693, he sold land to John Marshall.
     In the tax year of 1694 to 1695, he is listed as having 94 pounds, and 15 shillings.
     At the town meeting of February, 10, 1695/96, the record not that "Furder more, whereas there hath bin a Neglect in ye towne Conserning ye Entere of Thee Lands & fences belonging to hors neck and Coscob feild," "Mr. John Hubby," was appointted to a committee to "gaine ye best Ensite, by antient writtings, of Each mans propiete of Land in s'd feilds, with ye Quantitie of fence Layd to s'd Lands, & to methodise ye matter with what theye finde seutable to present to ye Towne at ye next Towne Meeting."
     In 1696, he was appointed to a committee to help establish the boundary line between the towns of Stamford and Greenwich - "ye town Remaining Dissatisfied with ye Present setlement of Dividing line, do se Cause in order for a furder Tryall, & if it may be yt Love and pease may be Continued between Each town, Do hereby Make Choise on & appoint John Hobby, Dan. Smith & Sam'll Peck" to meet with such Stamford men as may be appointed, "to discorse ye matter...and make a Returne unto ye Towne..." [Greenwich Early Records: pg 103].
     In 1698, John Hobby was appointed as a selectman. On January 11, 1703. He sold land to his son Benjamin. On October 17, 1707, there was an administrator's deed from the estate of John Hobby, to Corenelius Buncume.
     During his service in Greenwich, he was also responsible for deciding upon fortifications for the town and obtaining amunition to protect themselves from Indians. He was also responsible for appointing persons to build a bridge, negotiating with "John Robyson concerning the building and seting up of a saw mill uppon byram River, also...to despose of as much land as may be necasary for John Robyson use," making arrangements for a horse pound and allowing John Whelply to build and operate a saw mill on the Mianus River. He also served on a committee to find someone to build a corn mill and later another saw mill. He was involved in the building of the meeting house and the church.

     Captain Jean (John) Mercereau was the son of General Josue' Mercereau. He was born about 1638 probably in Moise or Meschers, Saintonge (St. Onge), France. He died sometime before April 29, 1681, presumably in France, when his wife is listed as a widow at his daughter's marriage.
     Jean Mersereau was a Protestant Frenchman, noted for his personal strength. He studied law, but, disliking the confinement of study, learned the trade of saddler. He was captain of a military company armed with pikes, the members of which attained great skill in the use of that weapon. As a captain, he was allowed to go armed.
     One evening he met three men, habited as friars, whom he saluted with "Good evening, gentlemen." They immediately charged him with being a Protestant, as a good Catholic would have said, "Good evening, fathers." He replied, "I know of but one Father, who is in Heaven." They drew their sabres, which were concealed under their cloaks, and attacked him. He defended himself with success, killing one, wounding another and putting the third to flight.

Nickname: Claes
Birth: (ABT 1630) Amsterdam, Holland
Emigration: (23 DEC 1657) Holland
Immigration: (JAN 1658) New Amsterdam, New York
Census: (9 OCT 1675) Flushing, Queens County, New York
Death: (BEF DEC 1677) Flushing, Queens County, New York
Ship: (De St. Jan Baptise)

     Nicholas Sneden was born about 1630 in Amsterdam, Holland ["Genealogical and Memorial History of the State of New Jersey", Lee, Francis Bazley, Lewis Historical Publishing Company, 1910, vol. 9, p. 1378]. He appears to have gone by the nickname Claes as occurs on the ships passenger record when he left Holland, and in his daughter Sarah's baptism record.
     He embarked December 23, 1657 from Holland on the ship "De St. Jan Baptiste," captained by Symon Claeson. He is listed in the passenger records as "Claes Snedich." Also aboard the ship were his brother, "Jan Snedich"; Jan's wife, Grietje; and their two children, Carsten and Grietje or Grietie. It is likely that Jan Sneden was an older brother of Nicholas. The Snedens probably arrived at New Amsterdam late in January 1658 [Lee, voll. 9, pp. 1378-80; "The Documentary History of the State of New York", O'Callaghan, E.B., Albany: Weed, Parsons & Co., 1850, vol. 2, p. 461; vol. 3, p. 52]. Nicholas Sneden settled first at New Amsterdam in 1658, but removed to Flushing a few years later. Perhaps he wished to be near his niece, Grietje (Sneden) Guenon living at Flushing.
     He is listed as "Nicholas Snathan" in a census of Flushing, dated October 9, 1675, in which he was taxed for owning no Negroes, two "landes," 10 "madoes" (meadows), one "horses and mares", no "three year olds", no "10 year olds", two "oxen and boles", three "cows", no "three year olds", two "two year olds", two "yearlings", no "swine", and no "sheep".
     The will of Nicholas Sneden is not on record, but is referred to in the following entry regarding issuance of letters of administration to his widow: "Whereas Nicholas Snethin, late of Flushing, in his will did appoint Mary his wife his sole executor, and proof having been made at the Court of Sessions held in Jamaica on December last. She is confirmed as executrix September 16, 1678" ["Abstracts of Wills, Collections of the New York Historical Society", 1892, p. 56, citing Abstracts of Wills on file in the Surrogate's Office, City of New York, liber 1-2, p. 227.]. He must have died therefore before December 1677.
