Notes:

Frances Chiles Breeden’s birth date was estimated, figuring she may have been around 20 when she married Richard Breeden (20 was the average age of women to marry during that time). Since their first known child, William Breeden was born in 1775, they may have been married approximately a year before. Her death date was estimated from the fact that she on the tax list of Shelby County, KY from 1799 to 1829. Francis did not appear in the 1830 tax list, this may indicate she was deceased by that time.

Thanks to Sharon Smith Logan for her detective work on her discovering Frances' true maiden name in her words: "Frances' maiden name is not Fairchild as family tradition states (I was led to believe the same thing). Her maiden name was Chiles . I can prove this through the will of Paul Chiles who left his daughter Frances Chiles 200 acres on Mayo River in his will dated 2 September 1761, Halifax County Virginia. In 1773, Richard Breeding and his wife Frances sold 130 acres to Joh n Stanton in Henry County, VA (Henry was created from Halifax). Also, of note, Paul Chiles parents were Henry Chiles and Ann Rowland".

HISTORY of JACKSON COUNTY, IOWA by Hon. James W. Ellis, Volume 1, Illustrated, Chicago, S. J. Clarke Publishing Co, 1910, pages 364 and 365.
Sketch of the Life of B. B. Breeden
At about the beginning of the year 1700, three brothers, Henry, Job and Richard Breeden, came from England and settled in Virginia and married.
Job remained there all his life, living on the old homestead. Henry and Richard, with their families, went west after a time, and settled in Lawrence county, Kentucky. They each took up homesteads. During an encounter with the Indians, Henry an d his two sons were killed, but not until Henry had killed six Indians before he fell.
Richard married Fannie Fairchild, a Virginian woman. To them were born eleven children, seven boys and four girls, the seventh child being Richard Jr., who was born in 1778 in what is now known as Louisville, Kentucky.
The children scattered to various parts of the country. Paul went to Louisiana; James, William and Richard, Jr., to Indiana. Richard settled in Monroe county, Indiana, in about the year 1818. He was married to Miss Lucretia Curl before he left K entucky. To them were born fourteen children, thirteen of whom lived to be grown. We give the names in order of their ages: Fielding, born 1810; Millie, Richard O., William, Polly, Dudley, Blan Ballard, Susan, Lucretia, Jane, Berryman, Calvin, J ames and Amanda. The first six were born in Lawrence county, Kentucky, while Ballard and Susan were born in Monroe county, Indiana. The whole family afterward moved to Putnam county, Indiana, where Jane and Berryman were born, the family afterwa rd going to Edgar county, Illinois, where the rest of the children were born.
In the year 1838 the family moved to Iowa. Millie married in Illinois and moved back to Kentucky, but afterwards returned to Illinois. The family settled in Jackson county, Iowa, and each of the sons took up claims for themselves. Fielding and W illiam were also married in Illinois. The remainder married in Jackson county.
In about the year 1850, Fielding, Calvin, Ballard and William went to California to make their fortunes in digging gold. Berryman joined them in 1852. They were three years returning via Pacific Ocean, Isthmus of Panama, Atlantic Ocean, and Ne w York city, thence overland to Iowa. They failed to realize their expectations of making their fortunes.
Nearly two years after their return, Ballard married Miss Mary Jane Furnish. To them were born three children--Sophronia, DeSoto and Otto. She died on the 12th day of February 1861. On the 5th day of September, he married Miss Mary Ann Campbell . To them were born seven children: Frances J., Dora L., Willaims S., Lillie V., Arizona M., Millie L. and Clarence Bird. Williams S. and Millie L. died in infancy.
Richard Breeden, father of B. B. Breeden, died in September 1872; Lucretia, his mother, died in February, 1874, at the ages of eighty-four and eighty-three years, respectively. Fielding moved to Keokuk county, Iowa, where he died in 1887. Willia ms returned to Illinois and lived in Hancock county where he died in 1896. Berryman never returned from California. He died in the year 1875 or 1876. Owen was killed by a falling tree while hunting, on the 12th day of February, 1868. Millie die d in Illinois in 1865. Polly died in Kansas in 1878. Dudley died in Jackson county, Iowa, in 1842. Susan died in Jackson county in 1845. Lucretia died in infancy in Putnam county, Indiana. Jane now lives in Mariposa county, California. Calvin di ed very suddenly on October 31st, 1899. James lives near Clear Lake, Wisconsin, and Amanda in Jackson county.
Mr. Breeden died on June 7, 1906, being eighty-six years, five months and nineteen days old. His life was long and useful and he was loved and honored by all his family and highly respected by all who knew him.

creek. Two or more families bearing the Ward name were recorded in Campbell, and
the names John and Richard are found among Major John Ward's descendants, but
nothing has been found concerning these early patentees. In 1753 the two
brothers, John and Jeremiah Ward, of Albemarle, patented 32OO acres of land on
the north side of Dan river in Pittsylvania county, which were located (as
designated) "in the mountains." John then settled at Reed creek; and some years
later Jerry moved to Cabell county on the Guyandotte river. John Ward married
the beautiful Anne, daughter of Henry and Anne Harrelson-Chiles of Pittsylvania.
He built a second home, The Mansion, east of the mouth of Otter river near its
entrance into the Staunton and only a few miles from where Alta Vista now
stands; here he lived, and, dying (over 10O years old), in 1816, was buried in
the family grave-yard nearby. Major Ward married, secondly, 1766, Mrs. Sarah
Clark - Lynch, daughter of Christ. Clark and widow of Charles Lynch, Sr., for
which she was disowned by the Quakers, Ward not being of the sect. He received
his title in 1778 as Major of Bedford county militia, an office he resigned in
1781 on account of his great age.

In 1778 Major Ward established a ferry across the Staunton, having previously
kept there a boat free to passengers, and in 1810 he obtained permission to
erect a toll bridge near his ferry. As early as 1769 he built mills at Sinkler's
and Chile's creeks; raised large yield of hemp upon his land. Included in his
estate was a tract called Indian Camps, which received the name from its use by
Indians. He surveyed the road leading to Lynchburg which still bears his name
and which, though recently improved by shortening of curves, filling of
depressions and sand-clay resurfacing, is not materially changed from its early
lines; in providing cross-country passage for his neighbors, Ward builded better
than he reckoned, for his road now forms part of a highway which runs through
the state, and connects with routes leading north and south.

Henry married Anne Harrelson. Anne died before 1734 in Halifax County, Virginia. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Extensive records for the Chiles Family of America by Janice Kinsler Smith found at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~janiceksmith/chiles/ index.html
====
Third Generation

1. Henry CHILES was born on 4 Apr 1671 in Jamestown, Virginia. (1) He died in 1720 in St.Paul's Parish, Hanover County, Virginia. (2)
"Henry Chiles lived in St. Peters Parish, New Kent Co., Va., in 1699; was a justice in that county in 1714." (Sevier and Madden, Sevier Family History, p.512)

There is inconsistency in the research as to the exact date of Henry's birth. If his mother died in 1671, he could not have been born in 1672.

Henry CHILES and Margaret LITTLEPAGE were married. Margaret LITTLEPAGE (daughter of Capt Richard LITTLEPAGE or Jr. and Frances AUSTIN) was also known as Margaret Chiles. She was born in St. Peter's Parish, New Kent County, Virginia.
Many writers refer to Margaret Littlepage as the wife of Henry Chiles, but to date I have not seen a marriage record or other documentation of this marriage. An authority on this family feels that this is speculation due to the proximity of the two families. Henry CHILES and Margaret LITTLEPAGE had the following children:

2 i. Richard CHILES.
3 ii. Daniel CHILES.
+4 iii. ??Agatha CHILES.
+5 iv. Henry CHILES Jr..
+6 v. Valentine CHILES.
+7 vi. Margaret CHILES.
+8 vii. Walter CHILES.
+9 viii. Hezekiah CHILES.
+10 ix. Micajah CHILES.
+11 x. Manoah CHILES.
+12 xi. James CHILES.

Henry CHILES and Mary Ann WINSTON were married about 1704 in Hanover County, Virginia. (1) Mary Ann WINSTON was born in 1670 in St. Peter's Parish, New Kent County, Virginia.1 She died in 1771 in Orange County, Virginia. (1) She was also known as Mary Ann Chiles.

Second Generation
2. Walter CHILES was born in England and died about 1672 in Virginia.

General Notes: "He lived at Jamestown in Kemp House, which he inherited from his father and which was probably the first brick dwelling erected in America." (Sevier and Madden, Sevier Family History, p. 512)

See Walter Chiles of Jamestown by Joanne Chiles Eakin, p.13 for a description of the archeological excavations and history of this home.

There is controversy regarding the name of his first wife, see Susanna Page text.

Walter married Susanna PAGE, daughter of Col. John PAGE and Alice LUCKIN. Other names for Susanna are Susanna CHILES, and Susanna WADDING.

Different researchers have reached different conclusions regarding the wife or wives of Walter Chiles. Some say that he had one wife Susan Page daughter of John Page. Others say she was Mary daughter of John Page, and when Mary died Walter married Susanna.

John Page had three children including Susanna who married Walter Chiles not Mary as written in many books. According to Lanciano's Rosewell Garland of Virginia, Susanna passed away at an early age, and little is known about her.

Henry Tyler married Elizabeth Chiles, "daughter of Walter Chiles (son of Lt. Col. Walter Chiles, member of the Council) and Susanna Page, his wife, dau. of Col John Page." (Tyler's Quarterly Historical and Genealogical Magazine, Vol.VIII, p.210)

John Page in his will mentions three grandchildren by name, John Tyler, Eliz: Tyler and John Chiles. These are all grandchildren of Walter Chiles by his first wife. The line seems evident. The controversy would be as to his first wife's name, Susanna or Mary.

"Some authorities indicate her maiden name was Brooks. (Eakin, Walter Chiles of Jamestown, p.10)

In a deed dated 15 May 1672 from "Sr. William Berkeley Knight Governor and Captaine Generall of Virginia.... graunt and demise and to farme lett unto Sussanna Giles the Relict and Executrix of the said Walter Giles.... and remayne unto John Giles the eldest sonne of the said Walter Giles deceased and ye said Susanna his wife." This document is in the Ludwell-Lee papers at the Virginia Historical Society, Richmond, Virginia.

"An Assembly convened on 5th of July, 1653, and Lt.Col. Walter Chiles, a son-in-law of Capt. John Page, was elected Speaker." Neill's Series of Virginia History, Virginia Corolorum, The Colony under the Rule of Charles the First and Second A.D. 1626-1685, Based upon the Manuscripts and Documents of the Period. Pub. Albany, N.Y., 1886. In the Reading Room at the Virginia State Library, Richmond. It should be noted that in 1653 Susanna's father would only be twenty-five years old. It has been noted that Neill in his writings has inserted historical facts about people in an event before referred to event was history. In this case in 1653, Walter Chiles had not yet become the son-in-law.

Children from this marriage were:

4 F i.Elizabeth CHILESdied on 19 Jan 1703.4 Another name for Elizabeth was Elizabeth TYLER.
Elizabeth married Henry TYLER in 1683.4 Henry was born about 1660 4 and died in 1729 4 about age 69.

5 M ii.John CHILES died in 1723 in King William Co., Virginia.

John married Eleanor WEBBER, daughter of Henry WEBBER and Unknown. Another name for Eleanor is Eleanor CHILES.

John next married Mary BOUCHER ?. Another name for Mary is Mary CHILES.

6 M iii. Henry CHILES was born about 1671 5 and died in 1720 in St.Paul's Parish, Hanover Co., Virginia2 about age 49.

Henry married Margaret LITTLEPAGE, daughter of Capt Richard LITTLEPAGE Or Jr. and Frances AUSTIN. Margaret was born in St. Peter's Parish, New Kent County, Virginia. Another name for Margaret is Margaret CHILES.

General Notes:
Many writers refer to Margaret Littlepage as the wife of Henry Chiles, but to date I have not seen a marriage record or other documentation of this marriage. An authority on this family feels that this is speculation due to the proximity of the two families.

Henry next married Mary (CHILES). Another name for Mary is Mary CHILES.

Walter next married Susanna UNKNOWN. Other names for Susanna are Susanna CHILES, and Susanna WADDING.

Lieut. Col. Walter Chiles

Lyon G. Tyler

William and Mary College Quarterly Historical Papers, Vol, 1,

No. 2 (Oct., 1892), pp. 75-78.

Page 75.

LIEUT. COL. WALTER CHILES.

BY THE EDITOR.

He was perhaps the "Walter Chiles, merchant," who was granted
1st of March, 1638, 400 acres in Charles City county (in that
portion known afterwards as Prince George), near the falls of
the Appomattox River, "50 acres being due to him for his own
personal adventure; 50 acres for his wife, Elizabeth; 50 acres
for his son William, and 50 acres for his son Walter, and 200
acres for the transportation" to the colony of four other persons.
A second grant was made to him of 250 acres, due "for his own
personal adventure" and the transportation of four persons, 2d
May, 1638.(1)

Walter Chiles, the merchant, was perhaps the burgess from
Charles City in 1642-43, and at the session he was appointed
with Walter Austin, Rice Hooe, and Joseph Johnson and "such
others as they shall think fit to joyn them" to undertake the dis-
covery of "a new river or unknowne land, bearing west southerly
from Appomattocke River." (2)

In November, 1645, Walter Chiles represented James City
county in the House of Burgesses. (3) He was a representative

again in 1645-46, and in 1649. (1) In the Northampton records
15th June, 1652, it is stated that Walter Chiles sailed from
Rotterdam in his own ship, "The Fame of Virginia." After being
for a time in Accomac waters the ship sailed for James City,
and was pursued and captured by Capt. Robert Henfield, who
held a commission from the "Protectors of the Liberties of Eng-
land;" three hours after which in Hungar's Road, Eastern shore,
the ship "Hopeful Adventure," Capt. Richard Husband, came
up and made seizure under pretext that Chiles had no license.
The Court of Northampton ordered a release. Thereupon, Richard
Husband and his prize sailed away, to the great indignation of
the commissioners thereof. It being rumored that the County
would be called upon by the commissioners to pay a large sum of
money to Walter Chiles, some of the inhabitants met in Dr. Hacke's
"old field," where Stephen Horsey called the commissioners a
company of "asses and villyans."

At the Assembly which convened July 5,1652, Gov. Bennet sent a
note to the House of Burgesses in which, after protesting that he
did not intend 'to intrench upon the right of Assemblies in the
free choice of a Speaker, nor to undervalue Lefft. Col. Chiles,"
advised(2) "that it was not so proper nor so convenient at this
time to make choice of him, for that there is something to be
agitated in this Assembly concerning a shipp lately arrived, in
which Lefft. Coll. Chiles hath some interest.

The Burgesses, however, did not seem inclined to take the advice
of their Governor, for the record states that "Left. Col. Walter
Chiles" was chosen, next day, by a plurality of votes, Speaker of
the Assembly, It is, however, to the honor of Col. Chiles, that he
at once declined the election, having represented(3) "to the house
his extraordinarie occasions in regarding to the dispatch of some
shipping now in the country in which he is

much interested." At the same session, Chiles was allowed to have
the ship "Leopoldus" for L400 sterling, said ship having been
confiscated for violation of the navigation laws.

On July 26, 1653, the Court of Northampton, according to an order
of the late Assembly, (determined upon despite a petition of part
of the inhabitants of the county, representing that the rumors of
their disloyalty to parliament was false, and their complaint was
against the taxes laid, on account of Capt. Chiles' ship) declared
"all the subscribers of that writing called a protest incapable
of holding office."

In 1671, under date of April 4th, Walter Chiles appeared in
behalf of his sons, John and Henry, relative to 1,500 acres of
land in Westmoreland county. According to the notes of Dr. E.
D. Neill, Walter Chiles was the son-in-law of Col. John Page(1)
and probably, had married his daughter Mary.(2) The Ludwell
MSS. (in Va. Historical Society) show that he was dead before
May 15, 1672, when his widow, Susannah, received a grant for
200 acres in James City County, in Passbehayes for 99 years on
account of buildings and improvements on the Main there, according
to an order of the General Court of June 7, 1638, for strengthening
the Main on this side Powhatan Swamp by leasing it out in parcels.
In Sept., 1693, the same year, John Chiles was appointed messenger
to the Council (Council Journal MS).

On June the 25th, 1683, judgment was entered in York Court in
favor of "Mr. Henry Tyler as marrying Elizabeth Chiles against
Maj. Otho Thorpe for the payment of twenty-one pounds sterling,
with costs of suit als execucon."

Col. Page in his will dated March 5, 1686-87, and recorded
February 24, 1691-92, speaks(3) of his grandson. John

Chiles, and his "grandsonne John Tyler." sonne of my grand-daughter,
Elizabeth Tyler" At a county court held for York County, June 24,
1707, John Tyler, who describes himself "as son of Mr. Henry Tyler
of York County and grandson of Col. John Page, formerly of ye sd
county dec'd," came into court and acknowledged a receipt(1) from
John Page, of ye county of Gloucester, of L50 sterling "for a
legacie left me (the said Henry Tyler) by the last will and testament
of ye said Coll. John Page, dec'd." Under the will of Col. Page,
John Tyler(2) received land in the forks of the swamp Powhatan, in
James City county where, until a few years ago, there stood a modest
brick building, which was built by him.

Col. John Page left a ring of twenty shillings to his "grandson,
John Chiles." In St. Peters Parish Register, New Kent county, are
the entries of the baptism between 1699 and 1706 of Henry, Walter
and James, children of Henry Chiles, Gent. Hanover county ws taken
from New Kent in ------; and 6 Sept. 1735, Henry Chiles sold lands
on Southern Branch, Hanover county. Louisa county was taken from
Hanover and in 1772 James Chiles and Elizabeth, his wife, were
living there. By his will proved 10 Oct., 1774, John Chiles left
his estate to his neices Olive Edwards, daughter of Joseph Martin
and Susannah his wife and to Mary, daughter of John Wright and
Jane, his wife.

====
Descendants of Walter Chiles
First Generation
1. Walter CHILES Lt. Col. was born about 1600 in England 1 and died in 1653 in Virginia 2 about age 53.

General Notes: "Lt. Col. Walter Chiles emigrated from England to Virginia before 1638 bringing with him, evidently in his own ship, his wife Elizabeth, sons William and Walter and four other persons. For these emigrants he was awarded 400 acres in Charles City (now Prince George) County near the falls of Appomattox River. On May 2, 1638 he received a further grant of 250 acres on the Appomattox River; in March 1638, 613 acres in Charles City. He also bought 813 acres from William Thomas in the same county. (Sevier and Madden, Sevier Family History , p.512)

Patent Book I, Part 2, 1 Mar 1639: "To all to whome these presents shall come I Sr John Harvey... Governr.... graunt unto Walter Chiles fower hundred acres of land Scituate lying and bein in the Countie of Charles Cittie upon Apamattuck river Westerly upon the river Easterly into the woods Northerly upon the land of Edward Tunstall and Southerly towards the falls. The Said fower hundred acres of Land being due unto him the Said Walter Chiles as followeth.. fiftie acres for his owne psonall adventure fiftie acres for his wife Elizabeth fiftie acres for his son William and fiftie acres for his son Walter and twoe hundred acres by and for the transportacon of fower psons into this Colony whose names are in the records menconed Under this pattent To have and to hold & dated the first of March 1638."

"The first mention of the original Chiles emigrant to Virginia is found in the records of the High Court of Admiralty Examinations in England. In the record of Examination No. 301 dated 24 July 1637 the Witness was Walter Chiles of Bristol, a clothworker aged 29 who signed his own name to the document. He states that he was a passenger on the ship Blessing, of Falmouth and was employed to assist Henry Tutton, the ship's purser. The ship was at James Town, Virginia for fourteen weeks. The date of Walter Chiles' first arrival in Virginia was probably 1636."

"The position he held as an employee of the owner of the ship, Blessing was one of great importance. His duties included not only the selling of the goods brought from England, but also the purchase of products from the new world. It enabled him to see first hand the future of this fertile country. The prospects for an adventure, the wealth that was untapped and probably foremost, the sight of vast acres of unclaimed land must have impressed him at this time. Why, in the Examinations, he was listed as cloth-worker, we do not know... Some six months after the 24 Jul 1637 Examinations, Walter Chiles had outfitted his own ship and by 1 Mar 1638 was again in Virginia," at which time he was awarded his acres in Charles City County. (Eakin, Walter Chiles of Jamestown, p.1)

"In June 1641 Walter Chiles, Walker Austin, Rice Hall and Joseph Johnson petitioned the Virginia Assembly for permission to explore territory west southerly from Appomattake River, according to p.34 of L.P. Summers, History of Southwest Virginia.

"Chiles represented Charles City County in the House of Burgesses in 1642 and 1643; represented James City 1645, 1646, 1649. He was a member of the Council, or upper house, in 1651; was elected speaker in 1652, but declined because of his pending application for reimbursement for the seizure of his ship, 'Fame of Virginia'
by Cromwell forces.

" The Fame of Virginia was returning from Rotterdam in 1652, whence she had sailed from Virginia on Jan. 24, 1651. Upon reaching Chesapeake Bay, she put into port in Accomack County. After being there a short time, the ship sailed for James City, but was pursued and captured by Capt. Robert Henfield, who held a commission from the Protectors of the Liberties of England, Cromwell's government. Three hours after which, in Hungar's Roads, Eastern Shore, the ship named 'Hopeful Adventure' under Capt. Richard Husbands came up and made seizure, under the pretext that Chiles had no license from Parliament and was bound with cargo for Brazil.

"Chiles immediately applied to the Northampton authorities for assistance, maintaining that the seizure was 'contrarie to ye peace of this country and also cont'y to ye agreem't made by ye Com'rs that were appointed by ye Keepers of Ye Libertyes of England and ye damage of ye pet'r towe thousand pounds sterling.' according to Northumberland County records. The ship was ordered released, but Capt. Richard Husbands sailed away with the vessel 'to ye great indignation of ye commissioners thereof.' (See William and Mary Quarterly, Series One, Vol. I, p. 75.) It was rumored that the country would be called upon by the commissioners to pay large sums of money to Walter Chiles. Some of the inhabitants met in Hacke's Old Field where Stephen Horsey called the commissioners a company of 'Asses and Villyans.'

"The House of Burgesses granted Chiles the ship, 'Leopoldas' , as a forfeit, with all its equipment, guns, etc., for the sum of 400 pounds. The Lepoldas had previously been confiscated for violation of the Navigation Laws." (Sevier and Madden, Sevier Family History , p. 512)

According to research done by Charles Leonard DeMott, at this time Chiles was a candidate for speaker of this house. Governor Bennett made it known that he felt it inappropriate that Chiles be appointed when his own case was to be tried before the Assembly. The Assembly prompted elected Chiles. He declined the position.
Governor William Berkeley, in 1646, sold the home known as the 'Kemp House' to Walter Chiles for the sum of 26,000 pounds of tobacco. It was the first brick house in America and was located at Jamestown." (Eakin, Walter Chiles of Jamestown, p.3)

Noted events in his life were:

?UW Immigration: 1638. 3

Walter married Elizabeth (CHILES). Another name for Elizabeth is Elizabeth CHILES.

General Notes:
"The wife of Walter Chiles, Sr. was Elizabeth.... In a letter written 7 Feb 1978 Mrs. Virginia W. Austin (State Chairman, Genealogical Records Committee, Virginia D.A.R.) states, 'All the records I have indicate he married Elizabeth Maury but there is in The Colonial Dames of the 17th Century file folder for Chiles a notation where someone had found the marriage of a Walter Chiles to an Elizabeth Sanders June 1630 in Bristol Cathedral.' The William and Mary Quarterly mentions there was a second marriage to an Alice Luckin. I find no reference to an Alice Luckin Chiles in the U.S. records." (Eakin, Walter Chiles of Jamestown, p.4)

Children from this marriage were:
