Stowell. He was baptized at the age of 18 on November 11, 1683 in the Episcopal Church (Churc h of St. Peter and St. Paul) at Albury. He may have done this in order to emigrate since Quak er and other non-Episcopal religions were not held in the same
regard as the members of the Church of England.
On July 7, 1684, at the age of 21, he signed an indenture document to serve John Bright; Merc hant of London for 4 years on arrival in the Colonies. He boarded the BOOTH and signed docume nts presented by the ship's master; Peter Pagan and witnessed by
Joseph Pycraft. In April 1690, Richard Kennon received land from the Henrico County Court, Virgi nia as payment for bringing emigrants to the Colonies. One of the names on Kennon's list is B art. Stowell (1684).
Barth. got a marriage license August 6, 1693 and married Ann Burton two days later at St. Joh n's Church (Episcopal). This church, located near the town of Curle, Virginia is gone, howeve r, some original items may be at the new church, 2401 E. Broad
St., Richmond, Va..
They lived on 318 acres next to Deep Creek and the James River in what is now Powhatan County, V A. This land is owned by the Catholic Church and was the site of a school, St. Emma's Academy , which is now unoccupied and condemned. A family reunion was held
here in 1984.
Ann Burton was born around 1670 to Thomas Burton and Susannah Hatcher on the former "Cobbs" p lantation on the Appomattox River. Thomas & Susannah had five children, Ann was the youngest . The other children included Thomas Burton; born in 1663/64, John
Burton; born in 1666, Isaac Burton; born in 1667/68 and Abraham Burton; born in 1669.
Bartholomew Stovall, a Husbandman or farmer, until his death in Powhatan County, Va.. around 1 721, left a will dated January 14, 1718/19 and it was probated on May 1, 1721.
The witnesses; Ezekile Sudbury, Ashford Hughes and Stephen Hughes, (who was a Quaker).
The will is on file but deteriorated in the Virginia St. Library, Henrico County Misc. Court Rec ords, Vol. 3, page 543. In the will, he mentions his wife Ann, sons; George, William and Thom as and daughter named Hannah. His other two sons; John and
Bartholomew Jr. were listed in several land deeds.
In 1725, Ann Burton Stovall married a widower named John Saunders and she d. bef 2 Oct 1736.
The Children of Bartholomew and Ann include: George; born circa 1695 in Henrico County, Va. and d . 1786 in Campbell County, Va.. He married A) Elizabeth (?) and B) Elisabeth (Landon?). William ; born circa 1697 in Va. and died in 1736 in Goochland County, Va.. He

Bartholomew, the first to emigrate to America, was born on August 24, 1665 in Albury, Surre y County, England to George and Joan Stoffold. His birth was recorded four times in the Quake r Records of Guildford, with two different dates, as Bartholomew
Stowell. He was baptized at the age of 18 on November 11, 1683 in the Episcopal Church (Churc h of St. Peter and St. Paul) at Albury. He may have done this in order to emigrate since Quak er and other non-Episcopal religions were not held in the same
regard as the members of the Church of England.
On July 7, 1684, at the age of 21, he signed an indenture document to serve John Bright; Merc hant of London for 4 years on arrival in the Colonies. He boarded the BOOTH and signed docume nts presented by the ship's master; Peter Pagan and witnessed by
Joseph Pycraft. In April 1690, Richard Kennon received land from the Henrico County Court, Virgi nia as payment for bringing emigrants to the Colonies. One of the names on Kennon's list is B art. Stowell (1684).
Barth. got a marriage license August 6, 1693 and married Ann Burton two days later at St. Joh n's Church (Episcopal). This church, located near the town of Curle, Virginia is gone, howeve r, some original items may be at the new church, 2401 E. Broad
St., Richmond, Va..
They lived on 318 acres next to Deep Creek and the James River in what is now Powhatan County, V A. This land is owned by the Catholic Church and was the site of a school, St. Emma's Academy , which is now unoccupied and condemned. A family reunion was held
here in 1984.

Burton; born in 1666, Isaac Burton; born in 1667/68 and Abraham Burton; born in 1669.

The will is on file but deteriorated in the Virginia St. Library, Henrico County Misc. Court Rec ords, Vol. 3, page 543. In the will, he mentions his wife Ann, sons; George, William and Thom as and daughter named Hannah. His other two sons; John and
