Misc. Notes
From SLC film 1421842, The Stovall Family and Related Lines:
BARTHOLOMEW STOVALL was raised in the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) but was baptized in the Church of England at Albury, and Bartholomew, the first to emigrate to America, was born on August 24, 1665 in Albury, Surrey County, England to George and Joan Stoffold. His birth was recorded four times in the Quaker Records of Guildford, with two different dates, as Bartholomew Stowell. He was baptized at the age of 18 on November 11, 1683 in the Episcopal Church (Church of St. Peter and St. Paul) at Albury. He may have done this in order to emigrate since Quaker and other non-Episcopal religions were not held in the same regard as the members of the Church of England.
  
On July 7, 1684, at the age of 21, he signed an indenture document to serve John Bright; Merchant of London for 4 years on arrival in the Colonies. He boarded the BOOTH and signed documents presented by the ship’s master, Peter Pagan and witnessed by Joseph Pycraft. In April 1690, Richard Kennon received land from the Henrico Co. Court, Virginia as payment for bringing emigrants to the Colonies. One of the names on Kennon’s list is Bart. Stowell (1684).
  
Bartholomew got a marriage license August 6, 1693 and married Ann Burton two days later at St. John’s Church (Episcopal). This church, located near the town of Curle, Virginia is gone, however, some original items may be at the new church, 2401 E. Broad Street, Richmond, Virginia .
  
They lived on 318 acres next to Deep Creek and the James River in what is now Powhatan County, Virginia . This land is owned by the Catholic Church and was the site of a school, St. Emma’s Academy, which is now unoccupied and condemned. A family reunion was held here in 1984.

The Children of Bartholomew and Ann include:
George: born circa 1695 in Henrico County, Virginia and died 1786 in Campbell Co., VA. He married (A) Elizabeth (?) and (B) Elisabeth (Landon?).
William: born circa 1697 in Virginia, died in 1736 in Goochland Co., VA. He married Judith (Twitty?).
Hannah: born circa 1699 in Virginia and died after 1773 there. Married John Learwood of Goochland County.
Thomas: born circa 1700-05 and married Elizabeth Frances Owen.
Bartholomew, Jr.: born circa 1707 in Henrico Co., VA, died in 1777 in Powhatan Co., VA. Married Mary (Hughes?).
John: born circa 1700 and married Dorcas (last name unknown).
Margaret: born in 1701 and married Luke Wilkes.


Ann Burton was born around 1670 to Thomas Burton and Susannah Hatcher on the former "Cobbs" plantation on the Appomattox River. Thomas & Susannah had five children, Ann was the youngest. The other children included: Thomas Burton, born in 1663/64; John Burton, born in 1666; Isaac Burton, born in 1667/68; and Abraham Burton, born in 1669.
  
Bartholomew Stovall, a Husbandman or farmer, until his death in Powhatan County, VA around 1721, left a will dated January 14, 1718/19 and it was probated on May 1, 1721. The witnesses; Ezekile Sudbury, Ashford Hughes and Stephen Hughes, (who was a Quaker). The will is on file but deteriorated in the Virginia St. Library, Henrico Co. Misc. Court Records, Vol. 3, page 543. In the will, he mentions his wife Ann, sons; George, William and Thomas and daughter named Hannah. His other two sons; John and Bartholomew, Jr. were listed in several land deeds.
