PEARTREE HALL

The first home of the Warwick Carys in Virginia was the high bluff which divides Warwick River and Potash Creek at their confluence, facing Mulberry Island (or, as it is locally called, "Mulbri'land"). Here in 1643, on a plantation known as Windmill Point,^ a Bristol Merchant.

1 The Windmill Point property: The first settlements on Warwick (then known as Blunt's Point) River, below Martins Hundred, were made after the Indian massacre of 1622. From the patents it appears that John Baynham (spelled also Bainham and Burnham) had an "ancient patent" dated 1 Dec 1624, for 300 acres "adjoining the lands of Captain Samuel Matthews and William Claiborne, gentleman." {Va, Mag,, i, 91.) This was Windmill Point and there John Baynham was living in 1625. (Brown, First Republic, 622. A Richard Baynham "of London, goldsmith," was a shareholder in the London Company in 1623 and one of the Warwick faction, Brown, Genesis, ii, 904., 982, and an Alexander Baynham was Burgess for Westmoreland in 1654.) This John Baynham's daughter, Mary, married Richard Tisdale, who succeeded to the property, and from him Captain Thomas Taylor purchased it, taking out on October 23, 1643 (Va, Land Register, i), two patents, one calling for 350 acres, including Windmill Point proper, and the other for 250 acres known as Magpy
Swamp. In the first of these patents Windmill Point is described as "butting upon Warwick River, bounded on the S. side with Potash Quarter Creeke and on the N. side with Samuell Stephens his land." The Stephens place (patented 1636 "adjoining the land of John Bainham," Va. Mag,, v, 455) was "Bolthrope," which passed through the hands of the Governors Harvey and Berkeley merchantman, Captain Thomas Taylor, found a snug harbor, safe from the privateers of the Parliament (cf. Neill, Virginia Carolorum, 178), and here he was succeeded by his son-in-law Col. Miles Cary ; here in turn succeeded the eldest son of our immigrant. This Major Thomas Cary, "the merchant," is, on the surviving records, a somewhat shadowy person after his earliest youth, but he became the fertile progenitor of more of his race than any of his brothers and is still numerously represented. From him descended during the eighteenth century the neighboring households at Windmill Point and Peartree Hall,^ with the {Va, Mag., i, 83), was afterwards long the home of the Coles {Hening, ii, 321), and eventually the property of Judge Richard Cary*^. In his will the immigrant Miles Cary describes Windmill Point as "the tract of land which I now reside upon," refers to Thomas Taylor's patent, and says that a rcsurvey shows it to include 688 acres, exclusive of the Magpy Swamp. We trace the title through eight Carys to 1837, when the senior line became extinct and Windmill Point passed to the Lucas descendants of the youngest daughter of Captain Thomas Cary'^, one of whom Mr. G. D. Eggleston found in possession in 1851. In 1919 the site of the original house is marked by a grassy cavity. A modern house stands nearby, the residence of J. B. Nettles, who is now the owner of the small surrounding farm. The property is sometimes referred to as. "Carys Quarter." This Windmill Point must be distinguished from Sir George Yeardley's Windmill Point (originally Tobacco Point) on the south side of James River in Prince George, where, it is supposed, the first windmill in the United States was erected. Peartree Hall, It appears from the will of his son Miles that Miles, Jr.,8 dwelt on Potash Creek, a description which is persuasive that he established the house which in the next generation and
thenceforth was known as Peartree Hall. That house stood on
the bluflF over Potash Creek, about a mile above Windmill Point. It was destroyed by fire about the beginning of the nineteenth century.

Notes:

We begin then with the fact that there was only one Thomas
Cary of the third generation in Virginia and he was unmistakably the eldest son named in the will of Thomas^. He married Elizabeth Hinds in 1695. The Quaker missionary Story says definitely, in his Journal, that the Thomas and Miles Cary he met in Warwick in 1698 and 1705 were brothers, and that Miles was Secretary (ue,. Clerk) of the County. By one of those happy accidents, which give zest to the patient study of genealogy, there has recently come to
light in a most unexpected place a paper which goes far to establish the tradition now under consideration, checking with Story's statement also. Among the old records of Albemarle County, North Carolina, at Edenton, are several affidavits filed July 18, 1713, in a suit concerning a slave named Stephen, who had been sold some years before by Anne Akehurst to "Miles Cary, Jr." (N, C, Hist, & Gen, Reg., 1901, ii, 151.) The witnesses are "Miles Cary, the elder,'' aged 42, whose signature is the unmistakable
autograph of our first Clerk of Warwick, Thomas Cary of Warwick County, Virginia, "aged 43," and Elizabeth Cary "aged 34," who says that she went to dwell in the house of Daniel Akehurst in 1695. This Akehurst was a Quaker. He lived in Warwick but had been the Proprietor Archdale's deputy in the North Carolina Council, subsequently Secretary for the Proprietors and died in 1699. (Weeks, Southern Quakers, 65.) It was at his house that Story first met the Carys in 1698, and so it is persuasive that Thomas Cary^ might have met his wife in the same house. The York records show (ff^, M, Cary Notes) that in 1701 "Mr. Miles
Cary, Jr.," was attending to business for "Ann Akehurst, executrix of Daniel Akehurst, dec'd." All of this suggests that the witnesses for "Miles Cary, the elder," in 1713 were his brother and sister-in-law. Moreover, the Miles Cary who was Clerk of Warwick was the only one of the third generation who had a son named Thomas except the Thomas^ who, Story says, was his brother. It seems likely that each of these sons was named after a common grandfather.

Thomas3 married Elizabeth 'Eliza' Hinds 8 Jan1695, Elizabeth City, Virginia. Elizabeth died Yes, date unknown. [Group Sheet]
