I know I mentioned an Joanna down in an post on John Larkin also but we have an lot of cousins marrying cousins
in royal lines, not to be over-looked..nor things like this entry either..."Samuel Maycock came to Virginia about 1618 and served as an councilor (James cittie)..another of the new beginnings snuffed out by the massacre..as was Edward Lister whom came in the Mayfower and signed the "compact". Maycocke was one of six councilors killed by the Indians on March 22, 1622. What happened to many of the surviors is not known, as they spread out into other areas, but I am assuming they stayed and went on." Could this family later be an "Lacome?"...there was also an Edward "Gourgaing" in the Planation of "Argall Town" Samuel Argall, Jr. and assoicates assigned 2,400 acres for the transportation of 24 persons by charter of March 30, 1617 issued before he left England..this Edward along with an Thomas Pawlett were amoung this Plantions first representatives as the assembly in 1619. Could this
Edward been an Larkin later removed northward? Could Edward's Thomas larkin be named after Pawlett? You never know with the numerous dialetics of speech what the name went down from area to area as. Another one of the first assembly men was Sir Thomas Graves, and Lawson in-law's that's even so much as into my Larkins family by name in Illinois in 1847 before coming out to Oregon. These Graves became part of the Donner Party Story...by an tail end episode involving that waggon train of some wagons held back several days for an muder trial enroute. Least let us not forget the Martin family..Richard Martin was an lawyer for the London Company..Martin's Hundred was just off Berkely Plantation..in 1618, the society sent its first colonist to Virginia, 260 in the ship called the "gifts of God"...additional groups were sent in 1619, 1620, 1621. Now refereed to as Wolstenhome Towne (see National Geographic Magazine archives)..it suffered severely in the massacre of 1622. "Thomasine" was supposedly the wife's name of Nathaniel Causey. The Rev. Doedate lawson's lineage comes from an Rev. Thomas Lawson of Endinburg, Scotland...where the "Planegent" family had the English smumer Castle. The family was not known as "Lawson" until
after the "War of Roses" when they were unseated in rulership of England. They got that name from being "high Sheriffs" of Northcumberland...along the Scottish border. Martin, Larkin, and Lawson all three have the same "bird" on their family crest. The Planegent family came off the descedents of William the Conqueror..and as mentioned above, they were neighbors to the Washington lineages...
whom I think they said were called "Wessington" easily found by googling George Washington lineage...it's rather interesting reading also, they were extremely powerful people. William marched through England, came up to their door and stopped conquoring. The reason why some people thought after the Rev. War to called George Washington "King George" and he declined the useage of it...stated he felt the people should represent themselves from then on...he felt it an better solution to life.
