I have recently learned that this Elizabeth Dabney was the granddaughter of Robert Dabney, Alderman of Norwich, who married Thomas Pettus' aunt Anne. Elizabeth Dabney Pettus' parents were John and Elizabeth, grandparents were Robert and Anne Dabney, great grandparents were John and Cecily, then William and Cecelia Irmingland Dabney, then ...I can go no further. Does anyone have access to family history of the Dabney family in England to tell us whether these Dabneys were descended from William d'Aubigney of early English fame, Earl of Arundel?
From the Clarksville Montgomery County Public Library-- Tennessee:
"From Britiany to Britain: A Family Saga."
This is all in England.
William Dabney who died in 1474 married Cecilia Irmingland dau. of Richard
Irmingland of North Burlington.
their son John Dabney died in 1523; he was the father of
John Dabney Jr. whose wife was Cicely. They were the parents of
Robert Dabney, who died in 1638, and who married ANNE
PETTUS as his first wife.
their son John, who was born in 1598, and
whose wife was Elizabeth
their daughter Elizabeth Dabney (b.
1644) married Thomas Pettus, Jr., of Virginia
the son of Col Thomas
Pettus, Sr., and his wife Elizabeth Durrant Pettus
"Thomas Sr. was the
powerful colonial council."
I don't have a copy of the page of footnotes, and footnote 43 promises to be
about the family of Ann Pettus.
John Jr. above and his wife Cicely Dabney were the first to "venture into
Norwich itself. Changing the spelling of his name to Dabney, he attained
prominence in the city. He and his wife Cicely were buried in the Church of
St. Gregory there."
The first John Dabney above left a legacy to the high altar of his home
church at Sparham, a village 12 miles northwest of Norwich and twelve miles
SW of Sharrington.
That gives a little idea of the locale in England we're dealing with.
