William Baugh, Sr. arrived in Virginia from London in 1638 as a widower (the name of his first wife is unknown). On 05 Jun 1639, Richard Kimble of London, England brought suit against William Baugh, Sr. which noted, "who had lately gone to Virginia". There is evidence that William was a tailor, a merchant and tobacco planter. In many references, he is referred to as "Colonel" for some reason. His English born son, William Baugh, Jr., arrived at Jamestown about 1660.
William Baugh, Sr. married Elizabeth Sharpe Parker (sometimes recorded as Packer) circa 1639 at Henrico Co., VA. Her maiden name is unknown but she was the widow of both William Sharpe and Thomas Parker (or Packer) at the time of this marriage.
In August 1620, Elizabeth (__?__) (unknown maiden name) arrived in Virginia from England aboard the "Francis Bonaventure". She married Sergeant William Sharpe who had arrived in Jamestown on the May 1610 voyage of the "Starr". On 16 Feb 1624, Elizabeth and her 40 year old husband were living at Bermuda Hundred (See accompanying map for location of Bermuda Hundred). Elizabeth, who was age 25, was still there on 20 Jan 1625. Also living there were the couple's two sons, Isack (Isaac) Sharpe, age 2 years, and Samuell (Samuel) Sharpe, age 2 months. In May 1625, when a list of patented land was sent back to England, William Sharpe was credited with 40 acres within the Corporation of Charles City, the area in which Bermuda Hundred was located. In October 1629 Sergeant Sharpe was elected Burgess for Bermuda Hundred and died prior to 12 Feb 1635.
Thus, Elizabeth Sharpe was widowed for the first time between October 1629 and before 12 Feb 1635. By 12 Feb 1635, she had married Thomas Parker (or Packer) who was living with Thomas Baugh at "West and Sherley Hundred" at the time of the 1623/4 muster. Thomas Baugh was most probably the son of John Baugh, thus the nephew of William Baugh, Sr. Thomas Baugh had emigrated from Bristol, England aboard the ship named "Supply" and arrived in Virginia on 29 Feb 1621. However, by 23 Jan 1625, Thomas had relocated to the "College Lands". (see source #1 below, page 120 for Thomas Baugh).
The 23 Jan 1624/5 muster of the inhabitants at the "Colledge Land" records Thomas Parker there, indicating he had relocated as well. He was living alone but headed one of the households under Thomas Osborne's command. Sometime prior to 15 Mar 1632, Thomas Parker patented some land on the north side of the James River in the Corporation of Charles City. This may have been land he was renting from the Virginia Company. Thomas Parker had arrived in Virginia from England aboard the "Neptune" in 1618. My gateway Jamestown ancestor William Farrar, (I) [1583-1637] also was a passenger on this voyage of the "Neptune". (Editorial: Unfortunately, the FAG memorial bio dedicated to William Farrar (1583-1637) presently is inadequate for such an important Farrar ancestor). There is speculation that Thomas Parker was one of the late Lord Delaware's men. Lord Delaware had died at sea aboard the "Neptune" on his return trip to Jamestown. By 12 July 1636, Elizabeth Sharpe Packer had been widowed again. The death of Thomas Packer was recorded in a patent for 200 acres in Varina, Henrico Co. issued 12 Feb 1636, to "Elizabeth Paker (sic), Widdowe....in right of her first husband William Sharpe, an Ancient Planter in the time of Thomas Dale", 100 acres being for the transportation of two servants (head rights). On 12 July 1636, Elizabeth Packer, "Widdowe", patented 500 acres in Henrico between Curles and Varina "in right of her late husband Sergeant William Sharpe", for transportation of 11 servants. This 500 acres was included in the 950 acre land patent for 19 head rights, dated 17 Aug 1637, due to her through both her late husbands, Sgt. William Sharpe and Thomas Parker. It was located in the Varina area, just east of Henicus Island (later Farrar's Island) in Henrico Co. [Ref: VA, Land Patent Bk. "1", Part "1", p454] (See accompanying map for the location of Farrar's Island).
Finally, Elizabeth Sharpe Parker married William Baugh, Sr. circa 1639 and died prior to 01 Feb 1650, the date her will was recorded, near the age of 52. NOTE: Elizabeth Sharp-Packer-Baugh, wife of William Sharp, Thomas Packer & William Baugh, Sr. was added in 2015 to the list of New Qualifying Ancestors for membership in the "Jamestowne Society".
A survey for a patent dated 20 Oct 1665 for 1380 acres for Christopher Branch, Sr. at Kingsland and Proctors Creek states that William Baugh, Sr. resided on this land prior to 1668, near a "remarkable great stone lying above William Baugh's house line" (Patent Bk. "5", p590). This was probably the first colonial home of William Baugh, Sr. (See accompanying map for the location of Proctors Creek and "Kingsland", Christopher Branch's Plantation.
On 16 Jan 1668, William Baugh, Sr. received a land grant of 577 acres close to his brother's (John Baugh) 1638 land grant. 600 acres of William Baugh, Sr.'s land grant was for the transportation (headrights) of 12 persons to Virginia, including his son, William Baugh, Jr. This acreage was located in Henrico Co., VA, south side (South of the James River) and on the north side of the Appomattox River near Ashton Creek (See attached map for the location of William Baugh, Sr.'s land.) John Baugh's 1638 land patent was located near William Baugh's 1668 land patent and his 1645 land grant was located some distant away near Johnson Creek (See attached map for location of John Baugh's land). [Virginia Land Patent Bk. "6", p5] Note: John Baugh, a planter, was the brother of William Baugh and served as a Burgess in 1641 and 1644. The names of his children, other than Thomas Baugh, are not known.
William Baugh Sr.'s son, William Baugh, Jr., died before him. William Baugh, Jr. had married Jane (Hatcher) Branch about 1661, as her second husband, and died prior to August 1678 as shown by an Orphan's Court record of August 1678, in which Abel Gower (third husband of Jane Hatcher) gives an account of cattle belonging to his step children, Mary and Priscilla Baugh, orphans of William Baugh, Jr., deceased, and of William and John Branch, orphans of William Branch, Sr., deceased (1st husband of Jane Hatcher).
In Apr 1681, William Baugh, Sr., Gentleman of Henrico, made a deed conferring to his granddaughter, Priscilla Baugh, now the wife of William Farrar (III), a tract of land which he had, in 1668, given to his grandson, William Baugh (III), and in 1674 to said Priscilla (Baugh) Farrar.
William Baugh, Sr. was Justice of the Peace in Henrico Co., VA on 20 Sep 1656, 01 Aug 1657 and 1669 and was also Sheriff.
The children of William and Elizabeth (__?__) Sharpe, Parker, Baugh, Sr. were:
1) Mary Baugh b. 1640, d. 1710, m. (1) Thomas Howlett, (2) Henry Ayscough, (3) Thomas Byrd
2) John Baugh b. 1641, d. 1726
3) Thomas Baugh, b. 1643, d. 1687
William Baugh, Sr. married a third time circa 1652 after the death of Elizabeth (1650) but her name is unknown. There is speculation that her maiden name was "Womack". Their children were:
1) Katherine Baugh b. 1653, d. Aft. 1697, m. Jones
2) James Baugh b. 1655, d. 1723, m. Elizabeth Ashbrook
In a 02 Oct 1682 deposition "Mr. William Baugh (Sr.), 70 odd years, deponed that he paid Capt. Henry Isham on account of Daniel Dehart one hogshead of tobacco since he past his bill and never any dealings with said Dehart since."
William Baugh, Sr.'s will was proved Henrico Co., April 1687.
William Baugh, Sr., as noted above, outlived his son, William Baugh, Jr., and was buried in the same Baugh Family Cemetery located on the Baugh Plantation in Henrico Co., VA, (Land he patented on 16 Jan 1668.) See the attached map for location of the Baugh land located near Ashton Creek, a branch of the Appomattox River

Thomas Baugh was most probably the son of John Baugh, thus the nephew of William Baugh, Sr. Thomas Baugh had emigrated from Bristol, England aboard the ship named "Supply" and arrived in Virginia on 29 Feb 1621. However, by 23 Jan 1625, Thomas had relocated to the "College Lands". (see source #1 below, page 120 for Thomas Baugh).
The 23 Jan 1624/5 muster of the inhabitants at the "Colledge Land" records Thomas Parker there, indicating he had relocated as well. He was living alone but headed one of the households under Thomas Osborne's command. Sometime prior to 15 Mar 1632, Thomas Parker patented some land on the north side of the James River in the Corporation of Charles City. This may have been land he was renting from the Virginia Company. Thomas Parker had arrived in Virginia from England aboard the "Neptune" in 1618. My gateway Jamestown ancestor William Farrar, (I) [1583-1637] also was a passenger on this voyage of the "Neptune". (Editorial: Unfortunately, the FAG memorial bio dedicated to William Farrar (1583-1637) presently is inadequate for such an important Farrar ancestor). There is speculation that Thomas Parker was one of the late Lord Delaware's men. Lord Delaware had died at sea aboard the "Neptune" on his return trip to Jamestown. By 12 July 1636, Elizabeth Sharpe Packer had been widowed again. The death of Thomas Packer was recorded in a patent for 200 acres in Varina, Henrico Co. issued 12 Feb 1636, to "Elizabeth Paker (sic), Widdowe....in right of her first husband William Sharpe, an Ancient Planter in the time of Thomas Dale", 100 acres being for the transportation of two servants (head rights). On 12 July 1636, Elizabeth Packer, "Widdowe", patented 500 acres in Henrico between Curles and Varina "in right of her late husband Sergeant William Sharpe", for transportation of 11 servants. This 500 acres was included in the 950 acre land patent for 19 head rights, dated 17 Aug 1637, due to her through both her late husbands, Sgt. William Sharpe and Thomas Parker. It was located in the Varina area, just east of Henicus Island (later Farrar's Island) in Henrico Co. [Ref: VA, Land Patent Bk. "1", Part "1", p454] (See accompanying map for the location of Farrar's Island).
Finally, Elizabeth Sharpe Parker married William Baugh, Sr. circa 1639 and died prior to 01 Feb 1650, the date her will was recorded, near the age of 52. NOTE: Elizabeth Sharp-Packer-Baugh, wife of William Sharp, Thomas Packer & William Baugh, Sr. was added in 2015 to the list of New Qualifying Ancestors for membership in the "Jamestowne Society".
A survey for a patent dated 20 Oct 1665 for 1380 acres for Christopher Branch, Sr. at Kingsland and Proctors Creek states that William Baugh, Sr. resided on this land prior to 1668, near a "remarkable great stone lying above William Baugh's house line" (Patent Bk. "5", p590). This was probably the first colonial home of William Baugh, Sr. (See accompanying map for the location of Proctors Creek and "Kingsland", Christopher Branch's Plantation.
On 16 Jan 1668, William Baugh, Sr. received a land grant of 577 acres close to his brother's (John Baugh) 1638 land grant. 600 acres of William Baugh, Sr.'s land grant was for the transportation (headrights) of 12 persons to Virginia, including his son, William Baugh, Jr. This acreage was located in Henrico Co., VA, south side (South of the James River) and on the north side of the Appomattox River near Ashton Creek (See attached map for the location of William Baugh, Sr.'s land.) John Baugh's 1638 land patent was located near William Baugh's 1668 land patent and his 1645 land grant was located some distant away near Johnson Creek (See attached map for location of John Baugh's land). [Virginia Land Patent Bk. "6", p5] Note: John Baugh, a planter, was the brother of William Baugh and served as a Burgess in 1641 and 1644. The names of his children, other than Thomas Baugh, are not known.
William Baugh Sr.'s son, William Baugh, Jr., died before him. William Baugh, Jr. had married Jane (Hatcher) Branch about 1661, as her second husband, and died prior to August 1678 as shown by an Orphan's Court record of August 1678, in which Abel Gower (third husband of Jane Hatcher) gives an account of cattle belonging to his step children, Mary and Priscilla Baugh, orphans of William Baugh, Jr., deceased, and of William and John Branch, orphans of William Branch, Sr., deceased (1st husband of Jane Hatcher).
In Apr 1681, William Baugh, Sr., Gentleman of Henrico, made a deed conferring to his granddaughter, Priscilla Baugh, now the wife of William Farrar (III), a tract of land which he had, in 1668, given to his grandson, William Baugh (III), and in 1674 to said Priscilla (Baugh) Farrar.
William Baugh, Sr. was Justice of the Peace in Henrico Co., VA on 20 Sep 1656, 01 Aug 1657 and 1669 and was also Sheriff.
The children of William and Elizabeth (__?__) Sharpe, Parker, Baugh, Sr. were:
1) Mary Baugh b. 1640, d. 1710, m. (1) Thomas Howlett, (2) Henry Ayscough, (3) Thomas Byrd
2) John Baugh b. 1641, d. 1726
3) Thomas Baugh, b. 1643, d. 1687
William Baugh, Sr. married a third time circa 1652 after the death of Elizabeth (1650) but her name is unknown. There is speculation that her maiden name was "Womack". Their children were:
1) Katherine Baugh b. 1653, d. Aft. 1697, m. Jones
2) James Baugh b. 1655, d. 1723, m. Elizabeth Ashbrook
In a 02 Oct 1682 deposition "Mr. William Baugh (Sr.), 70 odd years, deponed that he paid Capt. Henry Isham on account of Daniel Dehart one hogshead of tobacco since he past his bill and never any dealings with said Dehart since."
William Baugh, Sr.'s will was proved Henrico Co., April 1687.
William Baugh, Sr., as noted above, outlived his son, William Baugh, Jr., and was buried in the same Baugh Family Cemetery located on the Baugh Plantation in Henrico Co., VA, (Land he patented on 16 Jan 1668.) See the attached map for location of the Baugh land located near Ashton Creek, a branch of the Appomattox River
