About William Peebles, II

History of William Peebles

The name originally was Pabell, the plural variously spelled Pebyl, Peblys, Pebillis, etc. The spelling Peebles, with variations, began to be used in the 1500s and 1600s. Peebles is a modern plural, even a century ago several of them were still referred to as the Peebles. There is no end to the ways that the surname Peebles can be written incorrectly.

William Peebles, son of William Peebles and Judeth Drayton , was a Quaker. He was affectionately known as "William the Quaker". He died at Burleigh, Prince George County in the Colony of Virginia, which was the site of the first Quaker meeting house south of the James River. William Peebles was also in the Quaker records in the Valentin Museum located in Richmond, Virginia. The plantation he inherited named Burleigh gave site and name to the first Quaker Meeting south of the James River. It was a subsidiary of the Henrico (County) Monthly Meeting, and there are mentions of him in those records.

William Peebles was the only one of the family line in Prince George County who did not sign his name. He did make his mark, instead of an 'x', he wrote a w and p combined together wp with the p's stem part of the right side of the w.

He inherited the 150 acre tract with the Burleigh Plantation, part of his father's land on the west of the Birchen Swamp. He patented another 200 acres on the south side of the Black Swamp in Surry, later Sussex County. On 15 May 1738 he gifted half of it to his son Thomas Peebles. In 1740 he sold the remaining 100 acres to William Adams.

There were few records of William Peebles. He was bequeathed hogs and yews in the will of Edward Green. The will was probated in Surry, 7 May 1706. There was no relationship indicated in the will. On 19 June 1722, he witnessed a deed of Thomas Chappell to William Cook in Prince George. On 5 January 1717/18 William Peebles signed his wp mark while his brother Henry Peebles and Thomas Burrow witnessed the will of John Lanier, who in 1683 patented land south of and adjacent to their father William Peebles.They proved the will 14 April 1719. Robert Honeycut and Henry Peebles were securities for Nicholas Lanier, Executor of his father's will, John Lanier.

William Peebles, his son William Peebles, and Henry Peebles were witnesses to the will of Thomas Busby of Wyanoke Parish. The will was not dated, but it was probated at Merchants Hope on 9 April 1723, by the widow and executrix, Mary Busby. Henry Peebles was name Executor, but did not serve. The residue of the estate after bequests to daughters was given to May "under care of Henry Peebles". They later proved the will in court. Thomas Busby and Henry Peebles seem to have been half-brothers.[2]

William Peebles married Elizabeth Hamlin. Elizabeth Hamlin was the daughter of Stephen Hamlin, the only one with that surname in Virginia at the time. Children of William Peebles and Elizabeth Hamlin were as follows:

Abraham Peebles, born circa 1695 in Wyanoke Parish, Charles City, Virginia. He married (1) Green. He married (2) Eppes. He married (3) Kezia Carlile.

William Peebles, born circa 1700 in Prince George, Virginia. He married (1) Mary Carlile. He married (2) Agnes Shockey

Thomas Peebles, born circa 1702 in Greenville, Virginia. He married Sarah Tatum

Sarah Peebles, born circa 1705 in Virginia. She married Amos Horton

John Peebles, born circa 1707 in Burleigh, Prince George, Virginia. He married (1) Frances Cato. He married (2) Elizabeth Clark

Hannah Peebles, born circa 1708 in Lancaster, Virginia. She married (1) William Patterson. She married (2) John Merrymoon

Peter Peebles, born 28 Jul 1714 in Burleigh, Prince George, Virginia. He married Huldah Ladd

Joseph Peebles, born c1716/17 in Surry, Virginia. He married Mary Barker

William Peebles who married Elizabeth Hamlin is written about in Historical Southern Families. He is listed as William (Wm3)Peebles. His wife is given as Elizabeth Hamlin. Their children are named: Abraham Peebles, William Peebles, Thomas Peebles, John Peebles, Peter Peebles, Hannah Peebles, and Sarah Peebles. Of the birth dates given for the children all are estimated except Peter, his birth date is given as 28 Sep 1714.[3]

The last primary records pertaining to William Peebles were marriages, either as a witness, father of the bride, or purchases of tracts of land that border his or his brothers.

About William Peebles, I

William Peebles arrived from Scotland before Rice Hoe sued for Sarah's estate. Sarah Peebles was one of the orphans of Captain David Peebles and wife Elizabeth Bishop. Sarah Peebles' name appeared in the suit brought by Rice Hoe dated 3 Feb 1662/3. Rice Hoe sued for her estate "pretending to be in the hands of John Drayton." If clearly proved ordered that it be granted the said Sarah, but there was no further mention of the suit's outcome. This suit dates William Peebles' arrival in America before 1662[1]

Surry County records,Surry County,Virginia,1652-1684,page 23. 26 June 1656,The books for the balance of dec'd John Westhorpes accounts,list 56 men.One being Captain Peeples. [2]

Upon William Peebles' arrival in the colony of Virginia, he took over the affairs of his father David Peebles. A year after John Compton was forced by the suit filed in court by William Peebles to pay the amount owed in a bill due on 3 December 1661, William Peebles married Judeth who was John Drayton's ward.

There is not much information that can be gleaned about William Peebles, as he seemed to be a more private person than some, much like his father. Perhaps the lack of documentation of William Peebles is that records are missing. There were a succession of sons named William Peebles beginning with this one.

It is noted that William Peebles conducted himself as a good citizen. He performed jury duty and served as foreman at times. He appraised estates. He also acted as security for those he thought worthy of the risk.

He inherited his father's patent which was a named plantation. The name of the plantation was Bon Accord. The locals called it Bonniecord. For three hundred years the Poythress family claimed Bon Accord was their original seat. The Poythress family never found the patent, and the records are not congruent with their claim.[1]

A clear description of the property is given even though there was no survey performed. The 833 acres were a headright grant to David Peebles as payment for importation of sixteen people to the colony of Virginia, himself included.

Elizabeth Peebles, spelled Peoples, obtained a set aside of one hundred fifty acres in the form of a patent by James Ward who acquired much of the land, and then made an additional acquisition which appear to be most of David Peebles' estate. This was when she was handling her husband's affairs, and this may well have prompted the trip from Scotland to the colony of Virginia for David's son William as he then took over his father's affairs.

On 14 June 1665 a patent was obtained by John Drayton the second that was the one hundred fifty acre set aside for Elizabeth Peebles when James Ward acquire land that belonged to David Peebles. He obtained the patent by virtue of "marrying the said Elizabeth". The land after that has various owners whose names included Tapley, Simons and Busby. Adjoining lands were acquired by William Harrison, John Poythress and perhaps others.[3]

July 30,1670 Land Patent: William Peebles,473+acres in Charles City County,south side of the James River,adjoining Mr. thomas Newhouse,the Burcher Swamp,For transportation of 10 persons.[4]

Nov.3,1673-Land Patent; William Peebles, 862+acres in Charles City County south side of the James River:473+ acres begining on Thomas Newhouse,to Burcher Swamp;388+acres nigh THE OLD TOWNE LAND.The first tract patented July 30.1670.residue for transportation of 7 persons. [5]

In the year 1688 John Poythress sued Thomas Busby for infringement on his land, land that had been part of the estate of David Peebles. He did this by virtue that he had married Christian Peebles, the daughter of Elizabeth Peebles. The suit went through several courts. On 5 August 1689 the suit was 'by consent let fall in court, the plaintiff averring that the land now claimed by him is within a Platt drawn by James Mine called "Bonnie cord, the Platt'.

The name for David Peebles' plantation came from his Scot heritage. It was first named Bon Accord. Aberdeen, Scotland was renown continent wide for its people, its learning and culture and it was common for Aberdeen to be called the city of "Bon Accord." About 1800 the plantation was divided and Aberdeen built. The Cocke and Poythress family disputed that they were ever one, but records show differently.

William Peebles and first wife Judeth Drayton were most probably the parents of William Peebles. Whether Elizabeth Busby was William Peebles' second or third wife is a point of discussion, but she was the mother of Henry Peebles, William Peebles' youngest son. Elizabeth was referred to as the widow Busby, and then as the now wife of William Peebles.

David Peebles is the second son of William Peebles our subject here. He was born about 1683. His descendants carry the names of Dudley and Hubbard exclusively. Dudley and Hubbard given names do not appear in any other lines. he seems to have been the son by a second wife. Some researchers have her name as Green.

William Peebles obtained acreage patenting more than 800 acres in three tracts, one separate from the other two. The acreage was located about five miles south of Bon Accord on the headwaters of the Birchin Swamp. The easterly section of land was on the opposite side of the swamp and contained 388 acres. The westerly section of land contained 473 acres. The westerly tract adjoined north the portion of Old Town west of the swamp. The plantation became known as Burleigh.

There was a court order dated 5 August 1695 pertaining to William Peebles.The will book was destroyed, but a record of the record was found in the County Order Book. The text stated "William Peebles will proved in court, and ordered recorded. Vide, Bk. 2."[6] "Probate of the will of William Peebles, late of Wynoke Parish, decd., is granted to Elizabeth Peebles, his relict and Executrix named in said will." No records remain of Wynoke Parish.[7]

William Peebles died at his westerly tract at Burleigh Plantation at age 60 on the fifth of August 1695. William Peebles is mentioned in the Charles City County Order Book as follows: "...And wheras William Peebels late of Wynoke parish decd. did by his last Will and Testament bearing date the 21° day of November 1692 and proved in Court of the sd County the fifth day of August 1695 Ordain and apoynt his Relict Elizabeth...["http://www.virginiamemory.com/transcribe/scripto/transcribe/838/3157]

In 1704, the Quit Rent Rolls list:

Elizabeth Peebles, 235 acres

William Peebles, 150 acres

David Peebles, 60 acres

Henry Peebles was underage and not mentioned. His part of the estate was included in that of his mother.[7]

Peebles History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms

Peebles was first used as a surname by descendants of the Pictish people of ancient Scotland. The ancestors of the Peebles family lived in the town of Peebles in the county of the same name. The name is occasionally derived from residence in the lands called Peebles near St. Vigeans in the county of Angus.

The name originally was Pabell, the plural variously spelled Pebyl, Peblys, Pebillis, etc. The spelling Peebles, with variations, began to be used in the 1500s and 1600s. Peebles is a modern plural, even a century ago several of them were still referred to as the Peebles. There is no end to the ways that the surname Peebles can be written incorrectly.

Early Origins of the Peebles Family

The surname Peebles was first found in Peeblesshire (Gaelic: Siorrachd nam Pùballan), former county in South-central Scotland, in the present day Scottish Borders Council Area, where they held a family seat from early times and their first records appeared on the early census rolls taken by the early Kings of Scotland to determine the rate of taxation of their subjects.

Peebles Spelling Variations

Repeated and inaccurate translation of Scottish names from Gaelic to English and back resulted in a wide variety of spelling variations with single names. Peebles has appeared Pabell, the plural variously spelled Pebyl, Peblys, Pebillis, Peobell, Peebles, Peebes, Peebbes, Peeples, Peoples and many more.
