Henry Southey ¹

  Notes:

Henry Southey with his wife, six children and ten servants came to Virginia in 1622 in the ship Southampton. In Jan 1621/2, it states "that one Mr. Henry Southey, a Somersetshire gentleman, did desire a patent for a particular Plantation in Virginia, to him and his associates undertaking to transport one hundred persons thither. The Council for Virginia in London promptly authorized his patent; his arrival in Virginia was noted by the Council and he was assigned at once 900 acres of land to be taken up in any place not already chosen."

Henry married Elizabeth (?) about 1600. (Elizabeth (?) was born about 1575 and died about 1630 in Northampton Co., VA.)
