• Notes

  Biography The inventory brought in by Edward Carter, Robert Newsum and Walter Wallace named Elizabeth Chetwood, relict of Thomas Chetwood, defunct. The estate of £2000 was granted to his widow in 1678 with Capt. William Ball, Attorney. No mention of lands or children, though he had both. In March, 1669, Mr. Thomas Chetwode was granted a certificate for transporting certain persons, including Elizabeth Chitwode. As early as 1664, Elizabeth Chetwode gave power of attorney to Marquo Barret. The evidence is that Thomas and Elizabeth Chetwood were married in England. "That he made many trips across the ocean is shown by headrights granted in 1658 by Mr. Wm. Underwood for bringing in Thomas Chettwood three times and in 1661 to 'Thomas Chitwode for transporting himself three tymes', with others. In his lifetime he deeded land to many of the prominent colonists in Lancaster and adjoining counties. Among them were William Travers, Jno. Chinley, Marquo Barret, Will Wroughton, Nicholas Wren, Thos. Hearley, Richard Overton, Henry Stoneham, Edward Carter and Edward Dale. Thomas settled in Lancaster County, Virginia Colony, by 1658. Lancaster County mentioned him in tax assessments, 31 Oct 1658,[1] and 30 Nov 1659.[2] The county later assessed him for two tithables, 27 Oct 1664,[3] for four tithables, 8 Nov 1665,[4] and for four tithables, 14 Nov 1666.[5] "He died intestate in 1678.
