The Melton's
Origin:
English
Spelling variations include: Melton, Mellton, Meltone,
Meltin, Melten, Meltan and others. First found in Norfolk where the name is
associated with the fillage of Melton Constable. The early Melton family were
originally of Viking origin. They landed in the Northern part of the British
Isles, in around 870 A. D., under King Strigud the Stout. Duke William, who
invaded and defeated England in 1066, was descended from the first Duke Rollo of
Normandy. The following generations were taken from several places. Most of the
generations came from two books written by Michael (Melton) Leisure. The later
generations came from Kentucky Crossroads and Upper Right Fork.

Borough of Melton the sign says "Borough of Melton" just as you go into the city of Melton in England. It is near Hornby Castle, where the Melton family came from in 1306. It has it's own crest, which is different from the Melton crest. all of the towns in England had their own crest.

In an attempt to better explain the reason there are
so many locations given for the birth location/counties I submit the following;
The early settlers of Virginia began to form government control of areas in the
1630's. In 1634 the following Shires/Counties were established, and from them
came the 95 counties that make up Virginia.
(FROM THE VIRGINIA STATE
ARCHIVES) ACCAWMACK created in 1634, name was changed to North Hampton County in
1643. CHARLES CITY created in 1634 CHARLES RIVER created in 1634, name was
changed to York County in 1642 KECOUGHTON created in 1634, name changed to
Elizabeth City County. HENRICO created in 1634 JAMES CITY created in 1634
WARROSQUYOAKE created in 1634; later known as Isle of Wight in 1637 WARWICK
RIVER created in 1634, later known as Warwick The Counties split even more in
the early 1700's, some every couple of years. This is why there are so may
discrepancies on birth locations in early Virginia. This has caused the birth
location of a child to be different from their siblings although the family
never moved and has gone so far as having a person born in a county, have
children, and die, without ever leaving the homestead but the counties differ. I
will attempt to give the major county formations that I have seen for Melton's.
ALBEMARLE - WAS FORMED IN 1744 from Goochland and Louisa, and certain islands in
the "Fluvanna River" (later know as the James River). AMELIA - WAS FORMED IN
1734 from Prince George and Brunswick. AMHEARST - WAS FORMED IN 1761 from
Albemarle. BEDFORD - WAS FORMED IN 1753 from Albemarle and Lunenburg. BRUNSWICK
- WAS FORMED IN 1720 and again in 1732 from Prince George, Surry, and Isle of
Wight. CUMBERLAND - WAS FORMED IN 1749 from Goochland. FAIRFAX - WAS FORMED IN
1742 from Prince William. FAUQUIER - WAS FORMED IN 1759 from Prince William.
FLUVANNA - WAS FORMED IN 1777 from Albemarle. GOOCHLAND - WAS FORMED IN 1728
from Henrico. HANOVER - WAS FORMED IN 1721 from New Kent. Over a 30 year period,
from 1715 to 1745, your ancestors could have held the same piece of land, but
lived in four different counties: New Kent, Hanover, Louisa, and Albemarle.
*JAMES CITY - ORIGINAL SHIRE - parts of New Kent and York added after 1638.
LOUISA - WAS FORMED IN 1742 from Hanover. NEW KENT - WAS FORMED IN 1654 from
York. **NORTHAMPTON - ORIGINAL SHIRE - it should be noted that prior to 1634 and
formation of the counties, all peninsula lands south of Maryland were known as
NORTHHAMPTON "Upper & Lower". The County was originaly known as Accomack
when formed in 1634 and changed to Northampton in 1643. PRINCE WILLIAM - WAS
FORMED IN 1730 from Stafford and King George. SOUTHAMPTON - WAS FORMED IN 1749
from Isle of Wight and Nansemond. STAFFORD - WAS FORMED IN 1664 from
Westmoreland. SURRY - WAS FORMED IN 1652 from James City. WESTMORELAND - WAS
FORMED IN 1653 from Northumberland.

Isabell MILTON b: ABT. 1539 in Stanton-Saint-John, England Notes for
Henry Milton:
(The following is from the Volume: The Family of Milton, by
Hugh M. Milton)
Henry Milton who resided in Stanton -- Saint -- John,
England. He and his wife Agnes wills are in the Bishops Registry at Oxford (Ref.
4 pp14-15). From the Will of Agnes, two children are mentioned, Richard and
Elizabeth, with an additional reference to " my son William Howze". It is not
known if William is from a previous marriage or if he is the husband of the
Elizabeth, my belief is that he is the husband of Elizabeth. Both Henry and
Agnes were dead by 1562 and left only Richard to preserve the Milton name. Their
bodies were interred at Stanton -- Saint -- John, England.
In the Will of
Henry Milton, great grandfather of the poet, there is the provision " I give to
Isabel my daughter a Bullock and a half quarter or of barley, and Richard my son
shall keep the said Bullock untill he is three years old; item, I give to Roland
Mylton and Alys Mylton, each of them, half a quarter of barley----" (p. 15 Ref.
4)
In the Will of Agnes Milton, there is mentioned "--- my daughter
Elizabeth---- and my son Richard,-------- my son William Howse-----" As one can
see Henry named the daughter Isabel, and Agnes named daughter Elizabeth, neither
one named the other, so it is my belief that they are one in the same Elizabeth
Isabel Milton. And of the Will of Henry Milton the mention of Roland Mylton and
of Alys Mylton has one to believe that they are either children of Henry,
possibly of previous marriage, or more than likely brothers of Henry.

Milton:
(The following is from the Volume: The Family of Milton, by Hugh M.
Milton)
Richard Milton, son of Henry and Agnes, was a loyal Pappist and
throughout his life resisted the efforts to establish the Church of England.
After Elizabeth "I" came to the throne, she strengthened the Church of England
by insisting that people of all faiths attend ecumenical services. Attendance
was mandatory, and Richard refused and was convicted and fined sixty pounds on
two occasions in 1601 as a recusant (a recusant being one who refuse to obey an
order or law). Richard's wife, Ellen, had apparently been married previously as
record shows her as Jeffreys; nee Bradshaw, Caston, Haughton. The name Jeffreys
appears twice in the Milton geology. First, a Ellen Jeffreys had daughter Sarah
who became the wife of John (Scriviner) Milton, and secondly, a Ellen Jeffreys
who showed to her son-in-law, John the poet, the Haughton Coat of Arms which
caused the Milton's to refer to two such designs in thier Coat of Arms. In the
parish records of ALLHOLLOWS, BREAD STREET, LONDON, there appears this entry:
The 22d of Feb AD 1610, was buried in this parish Mrs. Ellen J. Jeffries, the
mother of Mr. John Milton's wife." (Ref. 4 p.30)
This is confusing, but to
try to understand, I make this speculation, in a previous marriage of Ellen's,
Sarah was born, which made her a step sister to John (who latter married her),
which would mean Richard was previously married and of this first marriage were
born his four children. There are records in England of a Richard Milton married
to Elizabeth Milton. This is all speculation.
Richard Milton was a
substantial man reportedly and under-ranger in the Shotover Forest. He is the
only person recorded as being a recusant in Oxfordshire. After 1601 there is
nothing recorded of Richard Milton. It is believed that he was buried at Stanton
-- Saint -- John.

apprentice to John Milton (Scrivener) London, England. Could this be the Richard
Milton who came to Virginia in 1620? His apprenticeship ended in September
1620/1, and the ship " Supply" sailed September 18th 1620. Arrived in Virginia,
at a point on the James River known now as Westover/Jamestown, on January
20th/29th 1620/1. This is information of Richard Milton/Melton comming to
Ameriva. (from Virginia Archives) 291 l620. "A Note of the Shipping, Men and
Provisions,
sent and provided for Virginia, by the Right Honourable, the
Earle of Southampton, and the Company, this yeare, 1620." The ships despatched
between August 1620 and February 1620/1 were the Bona Nova, the Elizabeth, the
May-Flower, the Supply, the Margaret and John, and the Abigail, carrying 600
persons in all. Two ships with 100 kine aboard were to sail from Ireland.
Several ships were to transport the Governor, Treasurer and Marshal of Virginia,
with their companies, together with other private plantations numbering 400
persons. There had been sent, or were on their way, 500 persons "for publike
uses" and "for the encrease of the number of the Companies Tenants, and for
maintenance of Officers", Among the "Men skilfull for setting up Staple
Commodities" were three "for Masters of the Iron works", three "for perfecting
the Salt-works", four Dutchmen from Hamburg "to erect SawingMills", and eight
French vignerons from Languedoc who were also skilful in breeding silkworms.
Patents had been granted to the Earl of Pembroke, Sir Richard Worsley, Sir
Richard Bulkeley, Sir William Mounson, Captain William Nuce and Captain Ralph
Hamor, who had "undertaken to transport great multitudes of People and Cattell".

companion ship to the Mayflower. It left 3 weeks late from England and, unlike

(Note* this list I am sure is not complete but it has about 60 people on it and
lists wifes and children.) From 1624 to 1632 I have found no mention of Richard
Milton in Virginia, whether he returned to England during these eight years is
not known. Some researchers feel that he returned to England to get married, and
continued his service with John Milton (his uncle) until 1632, although I
believe he was already married to Margaret Ross and had two children by this
time, William and Mary, perhaps he returned to England to retrieve his family
and end his apprinticeship. In 1632 Richard is found as a witness to a Land
Deed, from the Charles City Order book 1641 -- 1642: (from Order Book 1641-1642)
Received 14 Dec. 1632 of Mr. John Fludd, Westover, one manservant for two years
in full satisfaction for 15 acres land, being land said Fludd now liveth upon,
adjoining land of John Clay and John Davis. Witness: Richard Melton, Thomas
Blancks (signed) John Russell Recorded 21 April 1642.)) (note* spelled Melton
for the first time) (note* John Fludd's wife and child arrived with Richard on
the ship "Supply" in 1620, and was listed with Richard in the above Muster). In
David Masson's book (p. 338 Ref. 4 note) states "This Richard Milton, who is
found in business as a scrivener as late as 1633, is ascertained to be the son
of Thomas Milton. He was very probably one of the scrivener's kin, and it is, at
all event, interesting to know that there was a Richard Milton practicing as a
scrivener in London from 1621 to 1633, practicing by the side of John
Milton---". (there is a possibility if Richard had been sent by his uncle to the
Americas, that he was retained as working for his uncle until 1633.) There's no
record of his marriage, but the records disclose that a Richard Melton, in
London, was married in 1629 to a Mrs. Emaline Garland, another record showing a
Richard Milton and his wife, Mrs. Elizabeth Milton. This contradicts records
that indicate Richard Milton was married to Margaret Ross. Records also indicate
a Richard Milton who wrote a Will for Francis Spencer on 7 April 1636 and proved
it on 24 October 1636in England. Since Richard Milton of 1620 received a Land
Grant on 29 November 1635 in Charles City County, Virginia in is unlikely that
these are the same Richard's. John Milton (Scrivener) disappears after 1632, and
since a Richard Milton appears in Virginia after that date it has been advanced
that the Richard Milton who attested to the Spencer will was a brother of John.

possible, as he could not have been found in New Kent in 1704, 1708, 1711 and in
Berkley Colony, NC at the same time, it is also improbable that he would have
moved to Berkley Colony, NC and in his last years moved back to Hanover Co., VA)
VIRGINIA MAGAZINE OF HISTORY AND BIOGRAPHY, Vol. 31, page 224 - New Kent County,
St. Peter's and St. Paul's Parish 1704, VA Quit Rents lists Richard Melton with
290 acres of land. (NOTE* Hanover County was not formed untill 1721 and it was
formed from New Kent County) Richard Melton had acquired two tracts of land a
few miles north of Charles City in that part of New Kent County which later
became Hanover in 1721. A Quaker. Lived alongside Peter Field's widow. He was
probably born circa 1670 and married circa 1690. His widow died between 1744 and
1751. He was a Quaker before 1700. Quaker Genealogy Volume 6 p. 198: Richard
Melton signed a certificate of marriage at New Kent Meeting House on February
2nd 1700. Joined the Church of England by 1702. The following is from the Vestry
Book of St. Paul Parish, Hanover County, Virgina 1701-1786 Richard is shown
having two tracts of land in New Kent. 1700---Thomas, son of Richard Melton, was
baptized. 1702---Mary, daughter of Richard Melton, was baptized. 1704---Richard
Melton had land in New Kent County.
The church was given the job of
overseeing property line surveys. Every four years citizens & property
owners were assigned to check boundries. This was called "Processioning".
"Processioners" were the freeholders who returned the acounting. The following
Melton's are mentioned in these processing documents. Richard Melton---1708
Richard Melton---1711 One of the above tracts of Land is shown in William
and John Melton's names by 1730. 1731-1751 Robert Melton and Widdow Melton are
listed.
1755 The tract of Land which had originally been Richards and fell
to William and John Melton in 1730 is listed in the names of "William Melton's
orphans" and "John Melton's orphans" Over a 30 year period, from 1715 to 1745,
your ancestors could have held the same piece of land, but lived in four
different counties: New Kent, Hanover, Louisa, and Albemarle. More About

The
"Melton" family traces their ancestral roots back to Norman origin. Melton Family References in the
Harleian Manuscripts. The manuscripts are the
records of the "Visitations" (the investigation of heralds) of English and Welsh families. The
manuscripts were complied from about 1530 to the close of the 17th century. Over
30,000 families registered their lineage in the British Museum in
London. The Melton family name was
recorded in the following English counties - CHESHIRE, DERBYSHIRE, DEVONSHIRE, MIDDLESEX, DEVON and
YORKSHIRE. Their Records are held in the British
Museum in London.
* NOTE - The Meltons from Leslie
County are recorded as being from Germany, by way of Pennsylvania, in the early
1700’s. We are still trying to verify the relatives before Preston Melton.
