• Notes

  (Research):Note: An Ancient Planter paid for his own passage, that of his wife and children and servants. Joshua Proctor, John Proctor, and Anthony Proctor apparently paid their own passage. However, Thomas Proctor, Ambrose Proctor all served indentures for their passage and head rights were granted for the passage of their families. Adventurers of Purse and Person Virginia 1607-1624/25 Arrived on the Seaventure 1609 Servants Richard Grove age 30 on the George 1623 Edward Smith age 20 on the George 1621 William Nayle age 15 on the Ann 1623 Phettiplace Close on the Starr 1608 Daniell Wattkins on the Charles 1621 In the Massacre there were 347 persons killed out of a total population of 1,240 in Virginia. This is known because a census of the inhabitants, "The Living and the Dead", was taken afterwards on February 16th, 1623. There were thirthy-three persons shown in the censusof 1623 living on the Surry side of the river at that time. They were as follows: "....John Proctor, Mrs. Proctor,...." Another general "Muster of the Inhabitants of Virginia" was taken January and February 1624-25 (O.S.) and the data shown therein is very interesting for not only were the names of the persons given but also their ages and the ships on which they came. The muster for the "Surry Side" was taken February 4, 1624-25 as follows: .... Paces Paines, James City John Proctor, came in Sea Venture, 1607 (1610) Allis, his wife, in the George, 1621 Servants Richard Grove age 30 in the George 1623 Edward Smith age 20 in the George 1621 William Nayle age 15 in the Ann 1623 Phettiplace Clause on the Star 1608 Daniell Wattkins on the Charles 1621 John Skinner, in the Marmaduke, 1621 Colonial Surry by John B. Boddie pps.30-31 John Proctor, another "Ancient Planter" who died in Surry, 1628, also came on the Sea Venture with Sir Thomas Gates. His first plantaion was in Henrico but he afterwards settled in Surry. During the Massacre he was in England, but his wife valiantly defended their house located on proctor's Creek. "Mrs. Alice Proctor, a proper gentlewoman, defended her place with great bravery in 1622 and refused to abandon her house and would not leave till officers threatened to burn it down." Tyler's Narratives That John Proctor was in England at the time of the Massacre is shown by the records of the Virginia Company, for on the 17th of July 1622, while present as a stockholder at a court held on that day, was appointed on a committee to devise the best ways and means for aiding the Colonists in their distress. At a meeting held April 30, 1623, he stated he lived "near 14 years in Virginia." In May 1625 he was granted 200 acres on S. Side of James River in Surry. This grant was eveidently located at Pace's Paines where he was living at the time of the Muster previously shown. Va. Co. Rec., Vol. II, pp. 94, 385, 440, 457, 466. He was a brother of Thomas Proctor, "Citizen & Haberdasher of London", Mrs. Alice Proctor administered on his estate in Surry July 1627.
