FROM KIMBROUGH GENEALOGICAL QUARTERLY-VOL 1, NUMBER 1 (August, 1963)

It appears Colonist John Kimbrough coined a name for himself and his descendants, or the name became altered beyond current recognition by the language and educational difficulties experienced during the colonial days.

Legend has it that John Kimbrough arrived in the Colonies about 1666 with a wife, Mary, said to have been a Douglas and children John, Jr., Marmaduke and Jane, in the company of a Robert Douglas.

John Kimbrough is found in Maryland from 1667 to 1676 in numerous court records. He is first found in Port Tobacco, Maryland. He is late found at St. Maries (Mary's). He apparently left Port Tobacco prior to 1673 as there is found a land transfer of that date stating the land was formerly held by John Kimberely. No records have been found to show Kimberely is a variant spelling of Kimbrough, but the absence of records to the contrary and sparse of population leads to this belief. He left Maryland sometime in 1676. He is next found in New Kent County, VA in that same year.

[Leonard Brown.FTW] John Kimbrough I, "Colonist," was born between 1640-1647 somewhere in the British Isles. He is believed to have died between 1715-1716 in St. Paul's Parish, New Kent County, VA. He married first ca 1660 in the British Isles to Mary Douglas, born 1640-1645 somewhere in the British Isles and died ca 1687-1698, New Kent County.

He married second ca 1698, probably in New Kent County to Margaret Buckley, daughter of Benjamin Buckley (Bulkley, Berkeley) a ferryman on the Pamunkey River in the Pamunkey Neck area. John and Mary with their three oldest children probably immigrated to the Colony of Maryland ca 1666 with Robert Douglas, who may have been Mary's father. Court records show they resided in the area of Port Tobaco, Charles County, MD from March 1669/70 to Nov 1672 and in St. Mary's County, MD from Apr 1673 to Apr 1676 as John was involved in various legal proceedings in those counties during those times.

They moved to New Kent County, VA ca April 1676. John may have served in the VA militia and been injured during the Bacon Rebellion, for in Feb 1676/77 he submitted a petition for a disability pension for lameness, which he was granted for life on 8 Jun 1680. On 20 Apr 1687, he received a grant of land for transporting several persons from England to VA. This grant was for 575 acres located in the upper part of New Kent County on the lower side of the Pamunkey River and adjoining the lands of Stephen Tarleton and Colonel Ludwell. On 4 May 1689 vestry records of St. Peters Parish, he appears on a list of lands to be processioned. On 12 May 1691, a General Assembly recommended that his pension be discontinued because he had large land holdings, but, according to Felix A. Kimbrough, there are records it was continued until 1714. A court order of 1699 mentioned 1500 acres of land held jointly by John Kimbrough, William Winston, and John Longworthy, which they had been granted 16 Oct 1685 and on which they had paid quit rents since 1685. John Longworthy died without heirs and his holdings were divided between Kimbrough and Winston. On 23 Oct 1703, they were granted this 1500 acres in the Pamunkey Neck on Manohick Creek, St. John's Parish, King William County, VA. They and their wives, Margaret Kimbrough and Sarah Winston, sold it on 17 Jan 1703/4 to Charles Fleming. On 23 Sep 1702, John Kimbrough was one of the inhabitants of St. Peter's Parish, New Kent County, who petitioned to build a new chapel in the upper part of the parish because they lived very remote from the church. The Vestry ordered that a new church be built upon the upper side of Meachamp Creek adjacent to the King's Road. John Kimbrough gave the parish two acres of land with a spring and timber to build the church. The parish used his house to meet in until the new church was completed for which he was paid 600 lbs. of tobacco and cask per

Kimbrough of Virginia, Before 1750

Contributed by Felix A. Kimbrough, 415 S.W. 33rd Street, Oklahoma City, OK. These records came out of the State Library at Frankfort, Ky down to March 29. 1792.

The 13 Volumes of Records of the Virginia House of Burgesses and the succeeding Virginia Council tell of the lameness and pension of John KIMBROUGH from 1678 to 1712. There are many variations in the spelling of Kimbrough.

"English Duplicates of Lost Virginia Records", 1958. tells of the earliest known land grant to John Kimbrough in 1685 and the subsequent suit of the Pamunkey Indians in 1699.

John Kimbrough donated land and timbers for St. Peter's Church, New Kent County, Va. The Vestry Book gives records of births of some of his children.

In the Archives of Maryland there are reverences from 1667 to 1674 to John Kimbrough, during which time he seems to be in Port Tobacco. He applied for a pension from New Kent County in 1678. Tradition is that he was born about 1645 and arrived in the Colonies about 1666 and that he was related to the House of Ormond of Ireland and Scotland and his first wife was a Douglas of Scotland. He supposedly arrive with a wife, a daughter, Mary, and sons, John and Marmaduke. His second wife was a Margaret Buckley whom he married in1698.
