P. 332, 'Tidewater Virginia Families:' "There is no clue as to whom John Hampton (John II) married, nor is there any information as to the children that he may have had other than John III. The name of John Hampton was linked with that of Jacob Hampton concerning several deeds in 1777. Jacob deeded land to John, and Leah witnessed the deed. He deeded land to James Shelton, and John Hampton and Leah witnessed the deed. Another deed executed in October 1778 by Jacob, involved the same persons. It is thought that Jacob may have been the brother of John III. No further information has been found about Jacob. Leah evidently was not the wife of either Jacob or John. In November 1778, she petitioned the court for financial assistance. She said she was unable to support herself, as she had two sons in the service of the United States (the Revolutionary War). The court allowed her £10 (ten pounds)." The 'William & Mary Quarterly' says: "The court ordered that the following amounts be placed in the hands of Thomas Lomax, Gent., for the relief of the following:... "Leah Hampton £10 whose son is in the service of the United States..." Source: 'Some Colonial and Revolutionary Soldiers as Shown by the Order Books of Caroline County, Virginia.' (abt 1777) |

James TURNER gave a gift of 200 acres to his "son [son-in-law] John HAMPTON and his wife Mary." ( Mary HAMPTON was the daughter of James TURNER.) [Bedford County Deed Book 1, page 389; Dated: 23 Mar 1761] [NB: I believe this was Mary's "Dower" property.] James TURNER made a gift of six slaves to John HAMPTON in 1784. [Bedford County Deed Book 7, page 345] RELEVANCE UNDETERMINED: John and Mary Turner Hampton sold land on the the south side of Goose Creek to a Henry Haynes on 20 Nov. 1778. Henry Haynes had married Bersheba Hampton earlier that year.

Teste, J Steptoe C.C. NB: "James TURNER made a gift of six slaves to John HAMPTON in 1784. [Bedford County Deed Book 7, page 345]" I question whether this is the John Hampton that James Turner gave 6 slaves in 1784---as supposedly, this John Hampton died in 1778. I doubt that his father in law would have been alive in 1784. I think we have another John Hampton (and Mary Turner?) --especially since this is Bedford County and this John was supposedly in Caroline County. |

-> *IMPORTANT NOTE* There is no evidence that Thomas Hampton (1759-1840) is the son of John Hampton II (1701-1778). It is known that Thomas was a cousin of some degree to Gen. Wade Hampton (1752-1853) of the Revolutionary War, and was a descendant of Rev Thomas Hampton II (1623-1690). This relationship of Thomas as the son of John & Mary is shown as the most probable at this time. |

Hypothesis: From Amelia County tithable lists and deeds, John Hampton Sr. is known to have lived with Mary (his wife), John Hampton Jr., Micajah Hampton, and Collins Hampton. Based on their living with John Sr., John Jr., Micajah, and Collins are presumed to be his sons. If true, then they were each approximately 16 years of age the first time they appeared on a tithable list with John Sr. That means that John Jr. was probably born sometime around 1730, Micajah was probably born sometime around 1737, and Collins was probably born sometime between 1741 and 1746. Collins, it might be noted, was one of the witnesses to the purchase of 100 acres by John Hampton Sr. in Halifax County in 1767. Also based on the tithable lists, John Sr. was at least 60 in 1762, the fist year in the timeline in which John Sr.was not a tithable. From the Amelia County tithable lists, John Sr. is known to have lived close to Nathaniel Hampton, as well. Nathaniel may be a son, brother, or cousin. It is likely that Nathaniel was a son. Nathaniel's living children as of 23 Feb. 1764 included John Hampton, Elkanah Hampton, Roda Hampton, and Judy Hampton. Elkanah Hampton wrote a noncupative will on 29 May 1776, which was probated on 18 June 1778. In the will (actually a letter to Mr. Leonard Baker, Halifax County, specifying his wishes concerning his property in the event of his death), he mentions that he was serving in the army resisting the British, as was his (unnamed) brother. He leaves everything to his sister, Judith, who was living on Childer Creek in Halifax at the time that the letter was written. This would appear to be the same creek upon which John Hampton Sr. bought land in 1767. No other adult male Hamptons are known to have lived in Amelia County at the time that the "family" of John Hampton Sr. was resident. There were several female Hamptons in the county during that time, however. How they relate to John Sr. is unknown. At least two lived in Nottoway Parish at the same time that John Sr. was resident there, so they are likely his relatives. The females are: (1) Rachel Hampton (2) Lea Hampton and her illegitimate children, Lewis, Ann, and John Hampton of Nottoway Parish (3) Phoebe Hampton and sons James and John Forrest Hampton of Nottoway Parish Due to an apparent relationship between the Hamptons and the Collins, it is possible that Mary, wife of John, was a Collins.

| Birth | The location of John II's birth place is in some question. St. Margaret's Parish in Caroline County appears to have come into existence about 1755. Caroline County was formed in 1728 from Essex, King and Queen, and King William counties. From my understanding, John II was born at Hampfield Plantation, built by William Hampton, "The Immigrant." I believe Hampfield was located on the east side of Eastermost River, Gloucester County (now Mathews County.) Some sources also refer to the residence as being in York County (York is adjoining Gloucester County.) For more, see "Residence" at: http://www.adkins9.net/individual.php?pid=I1698 |
