• 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 ==== 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.
