What is the given name of this daughter of Sir Thomas Hinton?

Note of Caution: To date, her first name is unproven!

Where is her father's will?

  • per MA-R (2007): "... I cannot locate a probate record for Sir Thomas either in the Salisbury Courts or at the PCC (where his father Anthony's will was proved in 1598)..."

Did this daughter of Sir Thomas Hinton, who married Capt. Samuel Mathews, also marry Nathaniel West or Abraham Peirsey?

NO! - see Linda Lawhon (2000)5 for explanation.

    per Linda Lawhon (2000):

    "John Frederick Dorman, "Adventurers of Purse and Person," (Richmond, The Dietz Press, Inc., 1987) p. 658. Nathaniel West, thirteenth child of Thomas West, was born 30 Nov 1592. He came to Virginia ca 1618, "and married in 1621 in Virginia, Frances Greville who had come to Virginia, Jan. 1620/1, in the Supply…". (on p. 444, "She had come to Virginia in 1620 in the Supply with William Tracy and his wife (a niece of Fulke Greville)…".

    Minnie G. Cook, _Frances Grevell West Peirsey Mathews_ (William & Mary College Qtly, Vol 15, Series 2, 1935), p. 299? She discusses the passenger lists of the "Supply."
    1. In the list compiled by John Smythe of Nibley there are marginal notes about the passengers. It reports Frances Greville "married mr. de la war." [Mr. de la War = Nathaniel West.]
    2. Smythe's list shows a group of four single women: Frances Grevill, Joane Greene, Elizabeth Webbe, Isabel Gifford.
    3. "The Visitation of the County of Gloucester," 1623. This chart shows a Giles Greville, of Charlton Regis, who married Sara the daughter of Richard Payne of Rodbrooke, Parish of Hamton in Gloster. Their children listed are: William 13 years old in 1623, Gyles, Francis, Richard, Edward, and Frances."

    Abraham Peirsey married Frances ca 1625/26. His will was dated 1 Mar 1626/7 -- 8 Feb 1627/8 and was proved by Rev. Greville Pooley, who testified Peirsey died on or about 16 Jan 1627/8. He names his wife Frances executrix. The will names her son, Nathaniel West. Some time after 24 Mar 1627/28, Frances married Samuel Mathews. Frances was dead by 1633 when Mary Hill, daughter of Abraham Peirsey was appointed administratrix of her father's estate. Mary Peirsey Hill and her husband, Thomas, charged Samuel Mathews with having altered the estate of her father after he married the widow. (Dorman, p. 444)

    Now -- look at the dates above:
    1621 Nathaniel West m. Frances Greville
    1622/3 Nathaniel West died.
    1625/6 Frances Greville West married Abraham Peirsey.
    1627/8 Abraham Piersey died.
    1629/30 Frances Greville West Peirsey m 3. Samuel Mathews.
    1633 Frances Greville West Peirsey died.

    Now AFTER the above is a letter dated July 1634, Jamestown, Va. from Captain Thomas Young to Sir Toby Matthew. The letter states: "Captayne Mathews, an antient planter … This gentleman as I heare is lately married to the daughter of one Sir Thomas Hinton, who is lately retired into these parts, and he grows, as is conceaved, much bolder by this alliance...".

    NOTE!! This is after the death of Frances.

    In 1649, a tract published in London states that Capt. Mathews married the daughter of Sir. Tho. Hinton. I think the early researchers saw this tract. Then they saw where Samuel had married Frances -- and they assumed that the ladies were the same person.

    I simply cannot see how the daughter of Thomas Hinton, who married Samuel Mathews in 1634, can be Frances who died in 1633!
