Descendants of Richard Batchelor

Generation No. 1

      1. Richard² Batchelor (William¹) was born Abt. 1643 in Buckinghamshire, England, and died October 1682 in Lower Norfolk Co,. VA. He married Ann Biggs 1665 in Lower Norfolk Co. Virginia, daughter of John Biggs and Johannah Sawyer.

Notes for Richard Batchelor:
A contract binding Richard Batchelor to four years of indentureship to a William Donning of Virginia in return for passage to America was registered in the port of Bristol, England, on Aug 27, 1661. Upon completion of indentureship in 1665 Richard Batchelor acquired 300 acres of land on Sept. 27, 1665, in Lower Norfolk Co., VA. At the time of his death, Richard Batchelor owned 3000 acres of land in Lower Norfolk Co. (The Batchelor Family, by Lyle K. William)

Richard Batchelor's children, Richard Jr., Edward, and Edy, together with their mother Ann, and stepfather John Fewox/Faux, were among the first 7000 people to move into the Tidelands of North Carolina in the late 1600's, settling in the area now known as "Batchelor's Bay". By 1711, the population had approximately doubled and the Tuscarora Indians revolted and killed almost half of them and may have killed everyone but for the timely intervention of the South Carolina Militia. The Tuscarora ceased to exist as a tribe in North Carolina after the battles which ensued, ending about 1720. Absense of the Tuscarora as a menace left the mountainous inland portion of the state open for settlement and Richard's Great Grandsons, Samuel and Solomon (sons of Stephen) soon moved to the area now known as Nash and Franklin Counties, respectively. (The Batchelor Family, by Lyle K. William)
