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.

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.

Embracing the History of CAMPBELL COUNTY, VIRGINIA
1782-1926

LYNCHBURG, VIRGINIA 1927

Ward

Joseph Ward patented 731 acres on the north fork of Little Roanoke in
Brunswick county in 1739. The next year John Ward patented 40O acres on the
south side of Rose's creek; in 1742 Richard Ward patented 17OO acres on Staunton
river; in 175O John Ward patented 425 acres on Hunter's branch on the north side
of Hunter's creek and a year later patented 55O acres at the head of Jenita
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.
