This is my working hypothesis – the way I see it as of this moment!!

---

Charles Rowntree est 1660 – pat 350 ac land in Nansemond 1685

The first record that I have located of the Rowntree name in Virginia is 4 Nov. 1685 when Charles Rowntree was granted a Patent for 350 acres in the Upper Parish of Nanzamund.
They would have had to been in Virginia at least three years prior to this date.

4 Nov 1685, Charles Rowntree 350 acs. in the Up Par of Nanzamund,
Beg at Michael Brinckly by the Scypresse Sw.
Trans. of 7 pers: Willm. Hunter, Nicho. Hunter, Joane Hunter, Rebecka Hunter, Charles Rountree, Robert Rountree, John Sayer. Patent Book 7, p 487

In 1704 this land is in possession of Thomas Rountree – his presumed son.

I started looking at your website and it is quite interesting, especially the tidbit about the Rountree intermarriages with the Wallace family and Mrs. Elizabeth Slaughter Wallace Hurdle. Hardy Hurdle Jr. was my gggg-grandfather and we have always been intrigued about his first wife (his second wife was Christian Outlaw of Gates County, NC, and that is from whom we are descended).

from John Fox, Winston-Salem, NC – Another tie among our families -Hello Sally,
I was referenced to you data on the Miles Wallis family, by another researcher, and this made me realize that his family connected with mine in Orange/Alamance County, NC. Miles’ son George married my GG aunt, Mary Graham in 1841.
– George Wallance 41 M – – Alamance June carpenter typhoid 1850 Census Death Index.
– Account of sale of George Wallice deceased, December 1849. John Faucett was administrator. Benjamin Hurdle and Benjamin King were some of the buyers. The only Wallce buyers were John M. Wallace and Nancy and Rebeccah Wallace. Source: Alamance County Inventories and Accounts of Sales 1849-1854.
-After George Wallis’ death in 1849, Thomas Graham was appointed guardian of two little girls, Julia Ann and Mary Catharine Wallis. Source: Mike Potter. By the time of the Census of 1850, the two Wallace girls were residing with their maternal grandparents, George and Catherine Boswell Graham.
– In the 1850 Census, there were two children, Mary and Julia Wallace, ages 8 and 6 respectively. There is also an Eliza King, age 5, who is also a resident of the household. This researcher has located a marriage bond for Mary Graham and George Wallace.
– Account of sale of George Wallice deceased, December 1849. John Faucett was administrator. B. Hurdle and Benjamin King were some of the buyers. The only Wallce buyers were John M. Wallace and Nancy and Rebeccah Wallace. Source: Alamance County Inventories and Accounts of Sales 1849-1854.
– After George Wallis’ death in 1849, Thomas Graham was appointed guardian of two little girls, Julia Ann and Mary Catharine Wallis. Source: Mike Potter. By the time of the Census of 1850, the two Wallace girls were residing with their maternal grandparents.
– This researcher believes that the Julia in this household is the same Julia Ann Wallace who became the wife of Henry Clay King, son of Alvis King and his wife Mary Fossett.(Faucette) Some of the Faucette family did have connections to Miles Wallis(Wallace) step-son of Hardy Hurdle, Jr. of Chowan County and Orange County, NC. Hardy Hurdle was first married to Mary Wallis, mother of Miles and William Wallis and who was mother to several of Hardy’s children: Sarah and Mildred “Milly” Hurdle. Sarah Hurdle was wife to John McCulley; and they were the parents of William McCulley who married Charity Garrison, daughter of Levi Garrison and Mary Graham, sister to George. Hardy Hurdle, Jr. was married second to Christian Outlaw of Gates County, NC.
– Peter Doctrine Wallis married Nancy King, who is yet to be connected to Alvis Clay King who married Julia Wallis.
