Thomas Shirley of
St Stephens Parish Northumberland Co VA
Identified as the father of children born at St Stephens Anglican
Parish, Northumberland Co VA. He is likely the Thomas Shirley
who was brought into Virgina (possibly from Maryland) by Mary
Rayner who claimed a land grant in Feb 1659 based on his paid
transportation; John Kent gifted a heifer to Thomas Shirley in
1662, a gift that might indicate some type of relationship. Thomas
Shirley was involved in court cases in Northumberland County
at times owing money and at times as creditor. In 1678, the county
exempted Thomas from paying the parish levy, as a "very
poore and impotent person". Shirley was then curiously enumerated
in a list of tithables for Northumberland Co at a court held
7 June 1679, although the two events are likely connected and
that Shirley did not actually pay the levy in 1679 (unless there
are 2 Thomas Shirleys). In a court meeting dated 22 May 1689,
Thomas Shirley was mentioned in connection with the will of John
Roach dec'd whose executor was identified as Robert Bradley (the
latter may be the Robert Bradley transported into VA with Thomas
Shirley in 1658); The last will and testament of Thomas Shirley
was petitioned for probate by his son Richard Shirley in court
15 July 1696 at Northumberland Co. VA (no will has been found)
21 Feb 1658/59. Northumberland County
Virginia Order Book pg 201 These are to certify that Mary Rayner
widowe made her right appeare to 500 acres for transportacon
of 10 persons into this country: Thomas Sherly, Judith Palmer,
Hen. Hapney, Demanen Gamber, Eliz Johnson, Siserly Crowde, Robert
Bridley [Bradley?], Henry Reade, William Landrum, Henry Rayner.
[Note: Henry Rayner was already in Northumberland Co by 1652
records, thus Thomas Sherly is likely in N'land much earlier
than this date. Oddly, Mary Rayner, widow of Henry Rayner, was
already married to Thomas Broughton by the time of this document,
1657 in Northumberland Co, This list of transported invidividuals
possibly in right of her husband?]
21 July 1662. Northumberland Co Record
Book 1658-1662 pg 79. I John Kent have freely given of my owne
good will unto Thomas Sherly one heifer, ye said heifer beinge
two yeares old marked with a crop in the right eare adn a slitt
keeld on the left eare: As witness my hand this 21st of July

This deed of gift was recorded and acknowledged by the sd John
Kent.
15 May 1678 Northumberland Co Order
Book 1666-1678 pg 358 [torn] Upon ye petition of Thomas Shirley
being a very poore aged and impotent person it is ordered yt he be
releast out of the county levy.
1696 Northumberland Co VA Court held
July 15,, 1696 Petition of Richard Shirley, probate to him of
the last will and testament of Thomas Shirley, proved by Francis
Billingham and James Gaynes. (Note: a fire destroyed N'land Co
record books between 1673-1710, although many were re-recorded
in a new book. Shirley's will not found, likely did not survive)
married Frances__________ She was
documented as wife of Thomas Shirley in a 1680 court order, she
having nursed a child of James Crane [A deed of gift
to Thomas Shirley by John Kent of North'land might indicate Thomas
married a daughter of Kent; but the deed also might be payment
for the end of Shirley's indentured service to Kent? Nothing
more known]
19 May 1680 OB 14/99 - Thomas Shirley
against James Crane. James Crane standeth indebted unto Thomas
Shirley sum of 550 lbs tbo for his wifes nursing ye child of
sd Crane 5 months and half and whereas Frances, ye wife of ye
said Thomas Shirley hath made oath has not received any part
of debt. Judgement to Shirley.
22 Jan 1685/6 Northumberland Co OB
15/99 - Tressry against Shirley. Whereas that Frances Shirley
is indebted to Mr. James Tressry sum of 866 lbs tob. By bill
under hand of sd Shirley dated 24 Dec 1684. Judgement for Tressry.
(Note: why is the supposed wife
of Thomas Shirley entering into contracts, rather than her husband
who seems to have died years later in 1696. Is Frances the wife
of an older Thomas instead, say the grandfather of children born
at St Stephens parish in 1666?)
22 Jan 1685/6 Northumberland Co OB
15/99 - Injunction upon petition of Frances Shirley defd is granted
her to stop all further proceeding in common law until she have
a hearing in Chancery. (Note: this distinction between the roles
of courts is informative, Chancery was a place to secure "equity"
in contract matters, enforcement of terms of wills and probate
etc - where 'what is right and equitable' is also considered,
not simply the letter of the common law employed in other county
courts)

as noted in his brother's sale of land in 1702; He and his wife
Anne sold land to Robert Harrison in 1715; Richard Shirley died
intestate likely in late 1727 at Northumberland Co VA when in
