Robert Hallom married before 1636 Ann, widow of John Price and was deceased by May 6, 1638 when his widow obtained title to his plantation.

Ann Hallom, widow & the Heires of Robert Hallom, deceased, 1000 acres Henrico County May 6, 1638.
Lying N by E into the woods, S by W upon the river, W by N towards Bremo, joining land of Mr. Richard Cocke, E by S towards Turkey Island Creek, joining land of John Price. Due by bargain and sale from Arthur Bayly, merchant.

Later William Randolph acquired by purchase this plantation, which together with the 150 acre Price trace was known as “Turkey Island,” the seat of the distinguished Randolph family. The deeds of conveyance to Randolph have made possible identification of three generations of the Hallom family.

Following the death of Robert Hallom, Ann, his widow married for the third time to Daniell Llewellyn who was claimed as a headright in a patent issued to Capt. William Perry Sept. 19, 1633. In 1644 Llewellyn undertook the management of the Virginia interests of the Halloms in England.

Three brothers of Robert Hallom were living in England: John, citizen and poulterer of London who left will June 21, 1649--Nov. 7, 1649; William of Burnham, Essex County, salter, who left will Aug. 2, 1657--Sept. 8, 1657; Thomas Sr. who married Margaret and had son Thomas Jr. and Ann. a sister, who married _____ Wood, a salter.

Thomas Hallom Sr. was dead by 1644 and his widow married (2) William Mason.
In 1655, Thomas, son of Thomas Sr., came to Virginia seemingly for the purpose of settling in the colony and was assigned the task of concluding the family affairs with Daniel Llewellyn having been given power of attorney by his mother and her second husband and by his uncle William Hallom of Burnham, Essex County England, also a salter.

Wife of Robert Hallom

Notes: The maiden name of Ann, the wife of Robert Hallom is unknown.
She married first to John Price as the following records show:

"Adventures of Purse and Person", P 492
John Price came to Virginia in the Starr which sailed from England March 27, 1611 and landed off Point Comfort May 22, 1611. He was granted 150 acres in the Corporation of Henrico Feb. 20, 1619/20.

His wife Ann came in the Francis Bonaventure in Aug. 1620. They were living at Neck of Land in Charles City 1623-24 and Jan. 24, 1624/25 when he was listed as aged 40 and she as aged 21.

Notes: Robert Hallom also came on the Francis Bonaventure in Aug. 1620.

"Adventures of Purse and Person", P 492
John Price appeared as a witness before the General Court May 23, 1625 and was a member of the Assembly which convened May 10, 1625 and drew up a protest ot be sent to the King against any change in government. He died in 1628, and his widow married Robert Hallom. By her marraige to John Price Ann had 3 children Mary age 3 months Jan. 24, 1624/25, Mathew living 1638, died without issue, and John.

On March 6, 1636/37 Richard Cocke patented 3000 acres “easterly upon the land granted to John Price now in the tenure of Robert Hallum.” This land held by Ann Hallom was the original 150 acres granted to John Price Feb. 20, 1619/20.


Notes: The land of Robert Hallom patented in 1636 was described in the 1638 record as “W by N towards Bremo, joining land of Mr. Richard Cocke.”


"Adventures of Purse and Person", P 496
Ann, widow of John Price and Robert Hallom, married probably by 1640 Daniel Llewellyn, who was in Virginia by Sept. 19, 1633 when he was claimed as a headright by Capt. William Perry.

Daniel Llewellyn, Gent. received a patent Oct. 27, 1642 for 856 acres on the “Upper branches of Turkey Island Creek” and adjacent to “Mr. Aston’s land” in which he claimed among 17 headrights Robert Hallome and Frances Hallome. The claim to these headrights shows that he was then married to Ann, widow of Robert Hallom.

He had by 1645/46 taken over the management of the affairs of the Hallom family in Virginia. He served as Burgess from Henrico 1643-44 and from Charles City 1646, 1652 and 1656, was a Justice of Charles City County. 1650/51. He was Captain of Militia and was sworn as Sheriff of Charles City April 3, 1656.


The will of Daniel Llewellyn written Feb. 6, 1663/4 and proved March 11, 1663/64 was made while a resident of Chelmsford, County Essex England. He left land in Charles City County to his wife Anne for life, then to his son Daniel, servants, to Daniel Jr.’s sister Martha Jones, 50 shillings for a ring to daughter Margaret Cruse and to her husband and directed that he should be buried in the parish church at Chelmsford “neare the Reading deske”.

Apparently Ann, his wife, was dead by May 15, 1666 when Daniel Llewellyn repatented his father’s land which became due him as son and heir.

The children of Daniel Llewellyn and wife Ann were Martha married Rev. Richard Jones of Charles City County, Margaret married ______ Cruse, Daniel born 1647, married Jane Stith, and Richard born 1660-65 and lived in that part of Charles City County that became Prince George County and was an Indian trader.

Margaret’s husband might have been James Crews who was a follower of Nathaniel Bacon and was arrested when the Revolution crumbled, brought before Governor Berkeley’s court and condemned to be hanged without delay. His Will named no wife or child but made his cousin, Mr. Matthew Crews executor and left his “best suit and coate” to Daniel Price
(son of Ann by her first husband John Price).

Note: John Sturdivant was also an Indian Trader and was about the same age as this Richard Llewellyn.

Sarah Hallom

“William and Mary Quarterly”, Series 1, Vol. 24, P 128
It appears from records in Henrico April 1680, June 1691 and Aug. 1705 (dates of records of several deeds) that certain lands were patented by the relict of Mr. Robert Hallam and by her granted to the daughters and heirs of said Hallam, viz: Sarah wife of John Sturdivant of Charles City County and her two sisters.

It also appears that the said Sarah Hallam married first Samuel Woodward of Charles City County (by whom she had Samuel Woodward of Boston, Massachusetts in 1705) and secondly John Sturdivant of Charles City County.


“Virginia Magazine of History and Biography”, Vol. V, P 212
