Colonel Augustine Warner II succeeded his father and became political friends with Nathaniel Bacon, who was educated at Oxford and a Barrister in London. Bacon staged the first actual American Revolution in 1676, as he organized an army of three hundred to four hundred pioneers to cope with the Indians North of the York River. He was involved in a private fur deal spanning the entire Virginia frontier. By the end of the decade, Bacon's troops had taken care of all the Indian tribes. They marched on Jamestown as Governor William Burkeley fled, and sailed to the Eastern Shore. Nathaniel Bacon and his troops soon set up their headquarters at Warner Hall after the burning of Jamestown in 1676. This Virginia Colony was in charge of matters North of the York to the Potomac River. Beyond the Potomac, lay the Maryland Colony. It was at Warner Hall, where he sent notices for the people to assemble to take the "Oath of Fidelity" of his fellow countrymen. Bacon contracted Malaria and died within a year his troops then fleeing the Colony.
Augustine Warner II inherited Warner Hall at the death of his father in 1674. He married Mildred Reade, the daughter of George Reade, founder of Yorktown, and after her death, Elizabeth Martian. Augustine II was speaker of the House of Burgesses during Bacon's Rebellion in 1676, and also was a member of the Council.
When Augustine Warner II died, he left three daughters his son dying June 19, 1681. Mary became the wife of John Smith, of Purton, on the York, and their son Augustine Smith was said to have been one of the Knights of the Golden Horseshoe with Governor Spotswood, on his famous expedition across the Blue Ridge in 1716. Mildred, another daughter of Augustine Warner II, married Lawrence Washington, of Westmoreland, and her second husband was George Gale. Her three Washington children were John, who built Highgate, Augustine, father of George Washington (first President of the United States), and Mildred. Augustine Washington married Mary Ball, and named his son George for his great grandfather, George Reade, who founded Yorktown.
Elizabeth, the third daughter of Augustine Warner II, became the wife of John Lewis and inherited Warner Hall. Their son, John Lewis II was a member of His Majesty's Council, and was prominent in the county. For generations the Lewises lived here, and members of the family emigrated to all parts of the United States. Their descendants built Belle Farm, Eagle Point, Abingdon, Severby, and Severn Hall, all in Virginia. Elizabeth and John Lewis I's grandson, Colonel Fielding Lewis, of Belle Farm, married Catherine Washington, and after her death married Elizabeth Washington, also known as Betty, sister of George. He built beautiful Kenmore for her, in Fredericksburg.

Jan Joosten Van Meteren and his wife Maeken Hendriksen came from Holland on the ship "Fox", arriving at New Amsterdam on 12 Sep 1662. They settled in Kingston, New York. The house is still in existence; a two story house with openings under the eaves to shoot from. It is now used as a guest house with meals served, rooms for tourists, etc. It is in excellent condition. Jan Joosten and Maaeken Van Meteren had five children. (supplied by Mrs. Annie may "Skeet" Van Orden.)
Jan Joosten Van Meter was born in Holland, Town of Theil in the Tielderweert, Providence of Meteren. The suffix "en" meant son of. Jan Joosten meant son of Joost. The surname Van Meteren was added after his arrival in America. Thus Jan Son of Joost from Meteren became Jan Joosten Van Meteren. He signed his will simply as Jan Joosten. 16 Dec 1681. Headed as the "Will of Jan Joosten Van Meter".
was a French Hugeunot. Du Bois motto is "Tiens ta foy" (Hold to thy faith)
Kingston,New York was called Wiltwyck in 1600's
Louis was born on a farm in Wiscres, a hamlet in the district of LaBaree, near Lille. While a young man, he fled to avoid religious persecution to Mannheim, in the Paltz, or German Palatinate, now incorporated in Baden, and there married in the French Church, Catherine Blanchan. He is buried in the Old Dutch Churchyard at Kingston on the northwest corner of Clinton and John Streets. He and his family came to America on the ship the Gilded Otter in 1660. Residents of Flanders between the rivers Scheldt and Lys were called Walloons, so Louis was called Louis the Walloon.
Louis Du Bois first appears on record at Wiltwyck, October 1, 1661 when he and his wife were received as members of the Reformed Church by attestation, and the following week they had a child baptized. He was an elder of the church. They were living at Kingston at the time of the Esopus massacre June 7, 1663 at which time Catherine and her three children, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob were held in captivity for three months about thirty miles southwest of Esopus. They, with three other women, the wife and child of Anthony Crispell, and two children of Matthew Blanchan, Jr., were rescued by a party of soldiers and their husbands, as they were about to be burned. They had been taken to the Valley of the Wallkill, near New Paltz, and were on the brushwood pile singing the 137th Psalm. After seeing the rich soil in the Wallkill valley, they returned and settled there. Within the valley were founded the towns of New Paltz and Hurley.
Louis Du Bois kept a store in Hurley in 1663. In May 1666 he and his associates purchased from the Indians a tract of land comprising 36000 acres lying between the Shawangunk mountains and the Hudson river. On September 29, 1677, Louis and his sons Abraham and Isaac were among the twelve men to whom a patent was granted by Governor Andros. Louis moved to Kingston in 1686 from Hurley, where he was a county judge.
Bayless Family of Long Island & New Jersey by Howard Green Bayless
role #873968
Daniel Bayless appears in the records of Jamaica several times between 1706 and 1727. He moved to what is now Hunterton County, New Jersey prior to 1712 as he served on a jury in that year. He was evidently a prolific land owner (100 acres, 300 acres, etc.) and was most active in community affairs. In one instance it was stated that the Court of Quarter Sessions would meet at his home which indicates that he had a house of considerable size. In 1727 he moved to Middlesex County where he established a home that remained in the family for two more generations. When he bought it, the tract was 300 acres midway between Kingston and Monmouth Junction. Years later it was advertised for sale as being "420 acres, 250 cleared, 20 in meadow with two houses, two barns, etc."
Apparently Sarah Bayless died in 1751 -- the following is quoted directly from the files of the New York Gazette, November 25, 1751, as reprinted in the Hew Jersey Archives: We hear from Kingston, in east New Jersey, that on Sunday the 10th of this Instant, in the evening, after having been twice published the same day, Daniel Baley, aged 68 years, was married to Elizabeth Waters, aged 78 years -- the first had been a widower 8 months, and the other a widow 15 years. The Ceremony was performed with the utmost Solemnity before a very Crowded Audience.
From the same paper, issue of March 16, 1752, reprinted in the records of the New Jersey Archives we find: Extract of a letter from Kingston, New Jersey, March 10, 1752: Mr. Parker, in your paper Number 462, we had an account of the marriage of Daniel Baley and Elizabeth Waters, solemnized on the 10th of November last; which couple have since lived in the happy enjoyment of each other, for the most Part, until the 9th of this month; when by common consent of both parties, in the Presence of a Number of Spectors, after having given Security never to be burthenson to each other, as likewise for their Loyalty while absent, parted, never to meet again in the State of Matrimony -- What the cause was we know not; but some who pretend to know, say they have not courted long enough before Marriage.
It is not surprising that Daniel married so soon after his wife's death as the Church did not permit an unmarried man to employ a female servant. Doubtless he was unable to cope with housekeeping and sought the only solution available to him. Evidently he died soon after the loss of his bride as he does not appear on the local tax rolls for December, 1752. Three sons from the first marriage lived to adulthood - Daniel, Samuel and John.
John Bellomy was imported from England to the Virginia Colony, probably about 1710, by Dorothy Pleasants, a Quaker widow, who received 50 acres of land for his importation. John then worked for Ms. Pleasants for approximately 5 to 7 years to help her improve the land. When the land was improved, Ms. Pleasants received her land grant for the land in 1717. John had then repaid his indenture and was free to leave. John Bellomy purchased his farm "At a place called Dover at the Head of the Indian Graves Creek in 1717.
