Person:Andrew Bourne (9)

Estate Records

2 Oct 1700 (Richmond Co.,VA Court Orders) "Administration is granted to Christian Johnson upon all & singular the Estate of Andrew Bourne deced during the minorities of Peter Bourne". [Note: It is known that Peter Bourne was son of Christian who appears earlier in Richmond County records as Christian Bourne. This administration appointment strongly implies that she had been the wife of Andrew Bourne whose last appearance in records had been in Oct. 1695. (Richmond Co.,VA Court Orders 2 Oct 1695, will of Edward Price proved by John and Andrew Bourne.)].

Widow, Christian Johnson, appointed administrator of estate 2 Oct 1700. [Richmond Co. VA Court Order 2 Oct 17]: "Ordered that Mr. Richard Shippie, Mr. John Fisaker, Walter Francis or any two of them some time between this and the next Court held do meet and do inventory & appraise all & singular the estate of Andrew Bourne deced." The date of birth is based solely on the estimated date of birth of his son. It could be earlier but not much later.

Notes

Ann Johnson's father Henry signed an intention to marry in July 1695 in Essex Co. (He was a widower, and he was marrying John Bourne's mother, Christian [surname unknown]. His first wife was Mary Taliaferro, d/o Robert.) Henry gave his 4 daughters personal property, and named his daughters starting with the oldest Elizabeth (my ancestor). Sarah was 2nd, Katherine 3rd, and Ann was the 4th and youngest. Henry's will was dated Oct 1702 and proved June 1703, Essex. In his will, Henry also listed the order of birth for his children. In Essex Co orphans book May 1707 the 3 minor children chose different Taliaferros as guardian. Ann Johnson chose John Taliaferro. (It was John who gave Ann Christopher, wife of John, and her James children a gift of property).

   The earliest mention of an Andrew Bourne in Virginia records found so far is in Stafford County, Virginia Orders 1689-1690 Item 570 court held 10 March 1689-90, where "George Luke makes suit that he had made an agreement on the fourteenth of October last with Andrew and John Bourne late of Plymouth , Devon in England to serve him for the full term of four years from April next ensuing in considering of paying their passage with their mother and one child more being the sum of five thousand pounds of tobacco--- and forasmuch as the said Andrew and John Bourne did then at the time of drawing their indenture clandestinely steal away. George Luke--prays that an order for the said Andrew and John Bourne to serve according to the time profixed--. "George Luke subsequently appears in the earlier records of Richmond County where he is referred to as "merchant of London" . It is possible that Andrew and John completed their term of service with him in Richmond County and then moved across the Rappahanock to Essex County where they then appear on record. This identification is plausible but not confirmed.
