Proof for MD/USA Gateway Ancestor - Anne Fielder Gantt Wight

[Marcia via]

Good day all! - This is my first post, but I have studied your posts for
years, researching the Maryland USA Gateway ancestors of my own: Digges,
Lowe, Brent, Brooke, Mainwaring, Calvert and Gerard. The recent proof of
Margaret Domville Hatton adds one more. I thank you for informative and
lively discussions.



Here's another Gateway ancestor that needs further research and official
addiction to the 'list': Anne Fielder who m. (1) Thomas Gantt (in Hampshire
EN) and (2) Dr. John Wight (in Calvert County MD).



Would anyone like to work with me on this?



I purchased last year Colonial Chesapeake Families, British Origins and
Descendants, Vols. 1 & 2, by Dr. Harrison Dwight Cavanagh of Dallas, TX
(2014). His extensive research ties Anne Fielder to the English families of
Cole, Tipping, Dering, Waller, Archdeacon/l'Arcedekne, Weston, Gerard, Page,
Mainwaring, Cotton, and many more with whom we are all familiar.

The well-researched MD families of Gantt, Bradford, Wharton, Brooke and
Lancaster descend from this couple. (Myself, from Eleanor Bradford and
Raphael Lancaster Sr. of Prince George's County MD. Raphael was the son of
Capt. John Lancaster of Liverpool.)

+++

Thomas Gantt, merchant and planter, was born 1630-1638 in (prob.) Bulwick
Parish, Northamptonshire, immigrating to Calvert County MD about Oct. 4,
1653; transported as a "servant" (Calvert Maryland Patent Book 6, Folio
126). He died before Jan 1692 (probate date, Calvert MD).



Dr. Cavanagh cannot prove a deep (English) lineage for Thomas, but connects
Anne Fielder, Thomas's second wife, to the families mentioned above.



Anne Fielder Gantt Wight, born c1662 in Hartley Wespall, County Hampshire,
and died before (probate date) May 26, 1726, in (now) Prince George's County
MD. She m. Dr. John Wight before April 22, 1697 as his second wife, the
first being Mary Gittings, daughter of John Gittings of Gedstone, Surrey (d.
Calvert County MD bef. probate date Feb 1676).



Here is the truncated ancestral line for Anne Fielder, starting with:



Generation One: Sir George Tipping

Of Wheatfield/Whitfield, Oxon. c1564-1627/28, m. Dorothy Borlase/Burlace of
Little Marlow, Bucks. (1564-1637), daughter of Sir John Borlase Esq., M.P.,
Bucks. and Anne Lytton (c1541-Jan 1621).



Two children of Sir George and Dorothy Tipping:

(1a) John Tipping (of Wheatfield Hall, c1590-1618) m. Anne Pigot/Pigott
(prob. Bucks. c1592-1617). Father of Sir Thomas Tipping, prominent
Parliamentarian during the English Civil War.

(1b) Anne Tipping (bef 1590 -?) m. John Fielder, Heir of Burrough Court and
Polling Manor. (See next.)



Generation Two: Anne Tipping Fielder

>From Chesapeake Families: "John Fielder II, eldest son [of John] and heir to
Burrough Court and Polling Manor, Odiham Hundred, Hampshire, was born c1585.
He matriculated at St. Edmund Hall, Oxford University on 22 Oct 1602, aged
17 years and died in September 1638 (Chan. Inq. p.m. [Ser. 2], 15 Charles
1640, pt II no. 34). He married firstly about 1610 Anne TIPPING, eldest
daughter and heiress of Sir George Tipping (Typping) of Wheatfield Manor,
Oxfordshire. He married secondly Mary Pinke, widow of Robert Payne of
London, merchant." Issue from first marriage.



The book does not determine the lineage of this John II Fielder, or his
(presumed) parents John I Fielder and Alice Cooke.



He states: ". Fielders are numerous in the 16th and 17th century records in
Hampshire, especially in and around the environs of the ancient market town
of Petersfield. There are two armigerous branches of the family dating from
the mid-16th century registered in the various Visitations of Hampshire
(1530, 1575, 1624, 1686) emblazoning the same arms with no cadence
difference but without identifying earlier pedigree connections between
them. ....The Fielders of Burrough Court (Odiham Hundred) and their kin of
Cleer Place (Crundall Hundred) both used Field arms as fules,....No mottos
for either branch are recorded in the Visitations or in the College of
Arms."



And, "John Fielder I was probably born c1530 and purchased Burrought Court
in 1561 from John Dale. At his death in 1620, the entailed manor passed to
his son John II who died testate in September 1628, and thence to his
grandson John III by 1640 (Inq. p.m. W. and L., 7 Jan 1 [1640] pt. ii, no.
34). In 1699 John IV sold Burrough Court to Frederick TYLNEY of Rotherwick
(Feet of Fines, Hampshire Mich. II Will III). In 1596-1597, John I also
purchased the adjacent Manor of Polling from Robert Young, son of Nicholas
Young, died 1595; and at the death of John II in 1638, Polling was also
inherited by his son John III. In 1639-1640 John III sold part of Polling
Manor to Anthony Pickering and in 1649, part of Polling to his youngest
brother, William FIELDER, father of Ann Fielder GANTT. (Chan. Inq. p.m.
[Series 2] CCXLV, 56; ibid 15 Charles I; 59M87/48, RRO, Hampshire (1649). ."



Children of John and Anne Tipping Fielder:

(1) Susan Fielder born about 1610 m. John Bradley of Wokingham,
Berkshire

(2) John Fielder III eldest son and heir to Burrough Court and
Polling Manors, Hampshire, gave his age to the Heralds in 1686 as 72 years
old (thus bc 1614).

(3) Edward Fielder ESQ of Gray's Inn.

(4) Capt. William Fielder, gent. Military Career, youngest son; d.
1679. (See next.)



Generation Three: Capt. William Fielder

Born c1620 Hampshire, died abt. Oct 1679, buried Hartley Row Churchyard [?]
m. Margery COLE of Liss, Hampshire, (bef. Jul 31, 1697-buried Sep 9, 1699
Hartley Row Churchyard. She was the daughter of Thomas COLE (c1573-1641) of
Liss, Hampshire, and Mary WALLER (c1595-c1672) of Beaconsfield, Bucks., dtr.
of Thomas WALLER ESQ (1546-Sep 1626 Beaconsfield), Justice of the Common
Pleas, and Dorothy GERARD (c1548-bef. Dec. 16, 1626) of Harrow-on-the-Hill,
Middlesex.



Generation Four: Anne Fielder

Daughter of Capt. William and Margery Cole Fielder:

Anne Fielder who married Thomas Gantt (See above.)



Would any researchers like to help by adding to, corroborating or disputing
any findings in these lines, per Dr. Cavanagh's book? It is the FIELDER line
that goes deep into familiar ancestral lines.



Thanks to all - I welcome any correspondence and can reference the book at
any time. It would be nice to be able to add ANNE FIELDER GANTT WIGHT to the
established Gateway list of ancestors, and link many more English families
to USA descendants.



I thank you - Regards,

Yes, a paucity of critical records, but trusting Dr. Cavanagh's extensive discussions on all peripheral families involved here, seems to be on the right track. Would love tie this up.

Yes, Cavanagh says Thomas Gantt firstly m. Joan/Jone Robinson before 12 Sept 1666, presumed sister of an Andrew Robinson:
"Andrew Robinson was transported into Maryland with Jane Robinson (wife) and either his daughter or sister Jone (Joan) Robinson by Richard Bayley, Merchant and later (inn holder) of Patuxent, Maryland. [Source] 25 May 1666 Land Office Patent Record (original) L9, f. 448 copy (1726) from Liber EE, f437."

Gantt seems to have married both Robinson and Anne Fielder in Maryland after his immigration in 1654.

Vol. 1, p. 73
"From the forgoing records it is clear that during his first 21 years in Maryland, Thomas Gantt had married (Jone, Joane Robinson) and as a rising merchant planter, was on his way to his climb to the top of the provincial social ladder. In his last 15 years of life remaining, unfortunately, the grave stones of the old Gantt burying ground at Gantt's (White's) Landing are gone, and we do not know when Joan Gantt died, and Thomas Gantt married secondly, Anne Fielder. There were no children of this first marriage listed in Thomas Gantt's will; and all four children (Ann, Elizabeth, Thomas, Edward) were, independently, subsequently acknowledged by their mother Ann during her lifetime. The second marriage must have occurred by 1683-84 (Thomas Gantt II acknowledges in two later depositions his birth date as 1686); and judging from her marriage in 1705 to Col. John Bradford of PG Co., Ann Gantt was probably the eldest child, born about 1684-1685."

Further, (Vol. 1, p. 77) that "...her own will of 1726, Ann Fielder was clearly the mother of all of the four surviving children who were underage at the time of Thomas Gantt's death between Nov/Jan 1691/1692. There is no record of Ann Fielder immigrating to Maryland ... Ann was a late child in a large family born to a third son (Capt. William Field, gent) of the Fielders of the Manors of Burrough Court and Poling ..."

That Ann Fielder was only the mother of Edward with Thomas Gantt is possible, but not probable. Let's find out!

Another group of records, deeds and wills are found on the excellent Rootsweb data base hosted by Mike Marshall - Early Colonial Settlers of Southern Maryland and Virginia's Northern Neck Counties:
http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=mrmarsha&id=I015712

Thomas Gantt's first wife Joane is not mentioned, however, on his site. My interest is in Thomas and Anne Fielder Gantt's (presumed) daughter Anne (seems logical) who married the ubiquitous Col. John Bradford, but died bef. 1 Sept 1714, when he married Joyce Carroll, widow of James Butler (Maryland Archives). Col. Bradford was an early developer and real estate wheeler-dealer in Prince George's County and present day Washington D.C.

I will continue to investigate - thank you!

I believe I found the definitive proof you seek, if that is in fact what you were trying to confirm. Though I think there are a few errors in Cavanagh's research.

There is a John Bradley (probated May 1650), that states his wife as Susan. In a Visitation, Susan is stated as being a daughter of John Fielder of Hants., but I am deduce she is most likely a generation up; Bradley mentions grandchildren in his will.

> Notice that a nephew (by marriage) of Susan (Fielder) Bradley was one Thomas Bradley, "a Merchant in Virginia."


Did a little bit more digging, and I assume that a lot of what I am looking at are things that have already been analyzed time and time again. But given that the Gantt family intermarries with the Hollyday family compounded with Thomas Bradley being of Virginia, it would seem that this particular social group came to Maryland via Virginia after the New Model Army usurpation of Cecil Lord Baltimore, Proprietor. The language in the English testaments of the Fielders certainly go further than mere conformists and may suggest them as ideologues. Having said that, finding answers during this time period of Virginia is an extreme irritant, and I would think the best places to look for connectivity would be in Maryland and English documents, the latter being more so. It appears that there were still some continual lines of communications between the Fielder family across the Atlantic; Jane stating that her sister Anne "White" as being deceased gives evidence to that effect.

If there is another thing you feel needs kinking out, let me know.

All the best,
Brian

Dear Marcia ~

Thank you for your post. Much appreciated.

Assuming the research in print and what has been posted here on the newsgroup is correctly stated, this line looks good.

As far as I can determine, Anne (Fielder) (Gantt) Wight has one valid descent from King Henry III and two descents from King John, as well as descents from several Magna Carta barons, including Roos, Bigod, Clare, and Malet. There is also a descent from Geoffrey Plantagenet through the Thornhill family based on work I did with John Ravilious this past year.

The one line that interests me is a descent from Sir Henry (or Harry) Owen (living 1538) and his wife, Dorothy West. I've done a lot of work on the Owen family for my books, but previously didn't have any immigrants that descended from this couple. Sir Henry Owen's father was Sir David (or Davy) Owen, the uncle of King Henry VII. So surprise: Anne (Fielder) (Gantt) Wight is near related to the Tudor kings and queens.

A descent from King Edward I was alleged in the past through the Sutton-Dudley family but that connection has since been thoroughly discredited.

Also one online database alleges another King Edward I descent through the Lytton family. But that connection is invalid as well.

Best always, Douglas Richardson, Salt Lake City, Utah

Dorothy West (born c.1492, died aft.1524), the second wife of Sir Henry Owen, Heir of Cowdray Park (c.1492-1535), does descend from Edward I:

1) Princess Elizabeth Plantagenet (1282-1316)
2) Lady Eleanor de Bohun (c.1310-1363)
3) Lady Pernel Butler (c.1335-1368)
4) Richard, 4th Lord Talbot (1361-1396)
5) Alice Talbot (c.1393-1436) m. 1) Sir Thomas Barre, Heir of Rotherwas (d. 1420), and had
6) Elizabeth Barre (c.1414-1468) m. Sir Edmund Cornewall, Heir of Burford (d. 1435), and had
7) Eleanor Cornewall (c.1435-1519) m. 1) Sir Hugh Mortimer of Kyre Wyard (c.1413-1460), and had
8) Elizabeth Mortimer (c.1458-1502) m. Thomas West, 8th Lord DelaWarr (1457-1525), and had
9) Dorothy West (c.1492-aft.1524) m. Sir Henry Owen, Heir of Cowdray Park

I'm assuming Anne Fielder Gantt Wight descends from Nicholas Dering of Stansted (by 1509-1557) and his first wife Elizabeth Owen (c.1510-bef.1545), daughter & co-heir of Sir Henry Owen & Dorothy West, but I don't have any details on the descent.

Cheers, -----Brad

I'm afraid that a sentence in the will of Edward Fielder kills al expectation.

" To my dear and only sister Elizabeth Husbands"

No other sister with name Anne.

I think you've confused generations; and this statement does not add any difficulty.

Yes, Brad, this is a good line. I had actually inserted this line into the manuscript of my next book, but because I had no immigrants with this descent, I hadn't yet indexed or cross referenced it to my other accounts.

One comment. Dorothy (West) Owen [Gen. 9 above] was living in 1525, as indicated by the will of her father, Sir Thomas West, K.G., 8th Lord la Warre, 5th Lord West. See Nicolas, Testamenta Vetusta 2 (1826): 605-606 (will of Thomas West, Lord La Warre), available at the following weblink:

Correction: Dorothy (West) Owen [Gen. 9 above] was living 8 October 1524, as indicated by the will of her father, Sir Thomas West, K.G., 8th Lord la Warre, 5th Lord West.

The will of Sir Thomas West is dated 8 October 1524, by Complete Peerage, Collins' Peerage, and Testamenta Vetusta.

What follows are notes, arranged as timelines, that I compiled on siblings
of Anne (Feilder [or Fielder]) Gant Wight. As you’ll be able to tell, I’m a
bit obsessive about London genealogical research. These notes add a great
deal to Cavanaugh’s book, but do not alter his conclusions. I agree with
Cavanaugh, there is good evidence for the English immigrant origin of this
Maryland immigrant. She had a bill of exchange with Mr. Edward Feilder,
Grocer of London, while living in Maryland as a widow in the 1690s. That
Edward is easily identifiable. He had a sister Anne who had a son Edward by
1699 [Will of Margery Feilder, PCC]. That matches Anne of Maryland who had
a son Edward Gant. Edward Feilder’s sister Anne, as Hessick points out,
married a White [Wight], had children, and died by 1728 [Will of Jane
Feilder, PCC]. That matches Anne of Maryland being the wife of John Wight
and having children, including a daughter Fielder Wight. Anne had slaves in
Maryland named Heartley and Hampshire, place-names of her family home.

Anne’s brother Thomas Feilder was a very interesting man. He was
apprenticed to a clockmaker in London and became a mathematical instruments
maker. He rose within the Clockmaker’s Company to become Master. I found
his will. I found his brother George’s will. I found their sister Margery’s
will. I’m not sure what became of their brother William. He was still alive
in 1729. He may not have lived in London. There is an additional brother
John (the second of that name), who went to the University of Oxford, and
died young, who Cavanaugh didn’t know about. I couldn’t figure out who
their sister Elizabeth married, a man surnamed Passmore. There may be more
to find on her as well. None of these other siblings’ wills mention Anne or

Thanks to all MEDIEVAL researchers: What a joy to read your relevant responses about Anne Fielder Gantt Wight! Makes all this work worthwhile, and we may find many more family links among us.
I still have a question on the LYTTON line that is disproved ? I may be holding onto wrong data and records. Please expound on this one. Is it the Anne Lytton (1541-1620) and John Borlase (c1528-1593) ancestral line?I'm confused, and appreciate your help... again, thank you.
Marcia in Texas

[Douglas Richardson]

Dear Marcia ~

Your Lytton line is correct. However, the alleged descent from King Edward I isn't valid.

The immigrant, Anne (Fielder) (Gantt) Wight, correctly descends from William Lytton, Esq. (died 1517), of Knebworth, Hertfordshire, and his wife, Audrey Booth. I've copied below my file account of this couple.

William Lytton was the son and heir of Robert Lytton, Knt., of Stanwell, Middlesex, and Knebworth, Hertfordshire, Clerk of the Estreats, 1474-85, Clerk of the Issues of the Exchequer, 1478-9, Treasurer's Remembrancer, 1485-1505, Privy Councillor, Under-Treasurer of England, 1487-94, Clerk of the Treasurer, 1487-1505, Burgess (M.P.) for Ludgershall, 1491-2, Keeper of the Great Wardrobe, 1492-1505, Knight of the Shire for Hertfordshire, 1495, (?1497, 1504), Treasurer at War, 1501-2, by his 1st wife, Agnes, daughter and heiress of Thomas Rede, Citizen of London.

It has been alleged in error that William Lytton's mother was Robert Lytton's 2nd wife, Elizabeth Andrew, widow of Thomas Windsor, Esq. (died 1485), of Stanwell, Middlesex, Usher of the Chamber, Constable of Windsor Castle, Knight of the Shire for Middlesex. However, the chronology doesn't support this conclusion.

While William Lytton has no known royal ancestry, his wife, Audrey Booth, has many royal lines. For further particulars of the Lytton, Booth, Andrew, and Windsor families, please see my book, Royal Ancestry (5 volume set).

AUDREY BOOTH, daughter and heiress by her father's 1st marriage.

****
Thank you, Douglas! I corrected William's mother in my db to reflect Agnes Rede, which I had as his wife in addition to (second) wife Elizabeth Andrew. Now Agnes, not Elizabeth, is the mother of my William.

If I may ask you ... I probably have that Sutton/Dudley line in error as well. Are we talking about Cecily Mainwaring and John Cotton line? Her mother, Jane Sutton, daughter of Sir John, 1st Lord Dudley (c1400-1487) and Elizabeth Berkeley?
I have this descent from them: George Cotton/Margaret Onley > Winefred Cotton/Thomas Dering > Mary Dering/Solomon Cole > Thomas Cole/Mary Waller > Margery Cole who m. William Fielder, parents of Anne Fielder Gantt Wight.

I should correct any errors I have.
Much appreciated -
Marcia

I saw the light. There are two persons named Edward Fielder.
One is Edward the uncle (from the will).
The other is the supposed brother Edward the grocer.

RE: Dr. Cavanagh's book, Colonial Chesapeake Families, 2014.
Here is what I have recorded:

>Son Thomas Dering (c1529-1583) m. Winefred Cotton (c1530 - bef. Apr 1599) (See note about Winefred Cotton below.);

>Margery Cole (bef. Jul 1628 Baptism date - d. aft. Aug 2, 1697 in London) m. Capt. William FIELDER (c1620-cOct 1679) of my previous post.
>Ann[e] Fielder (c1662-d. bef. May 26, 1726 probate date) m. Thomas Gantt, Immigrant to MD abt. 1654.

As I can tell, Winefred COTTON above also links to MA/USA Immigrant Robert ABELL (c1605-1663):
Winifred had a brother, Richard Cotton Esq. (1539-1601), both children of Sir George Cotton (c1505-1545) and May Onley (d. Mar 1559/60).
Richard Cotton Esq. and Mary Mainwaring were grandparents of Robert ABELL, son of George Abell and Frances Cotton, the daughter of Richard and Mary Mainwaring Cotton. (Hope I transcribed all that correctly!)

Thanks for the follow-up!

At Leslie Mahler's insistence, I checked the smaller probate courts for a
will or administration of Edward Fielder, Grocer. I finally found his
administration in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury. Unfortunately, there
is no reference in the Act Book to Maryland relatives:

February 1696[/7]
Edvardus Feilder Primo die em[anavi]t com[missi]o Thomae Feilder Fratri
n[atu]rali et l[egi]timo Edvardi Feilder nup[er] p[ar]o[chi]ae S[anc]ti

Margin: London; 31 August; 28 Feb: 1697
(PCC Administration Act Book 1696[/7] f. 22 [FHL film #93270])

Here's my attempt at translation:
Edward Feilder, 1st February 1696[/7], commission granted to Thomas Feilder
Brother natural and legitimate of Edward Feilder late of London St
Augustine Parish but at Heckfeild in County of Southampton bachelor
deceased ... Margery Feilder mother of the deceased first renounced.

[He had paid the marriage act tax in 1695 at London St Augustine as a
bachelor, according to London Inhabitants Within the Walls]
