Dear Janice, I have read with great interest all of the things you have written about the Young family. I thank you so much for all you have done! I an a descendant of Nancy Young who married Capt. Daniel Wright.
I got to thinking about the supposed Martha Sadler. Could she have been.... anywhere? That led me to reading about the Sadler's... interesting lot. And they certainly owned Merchant's Hope and Brandon. If anyone has any thoughts on the Sadler's, I would love to hear them. I traced the John Sadler's - through to #IV (as I call him, who died in 1716. Well, I typed all this, and others might as well have use of it, if they want it:
John Sadler, Jr. (son of John Sadler, bailiff in 1599 and 1612, Stratford-upon-Avon 1. John (Jr.) SADLER was born 24 Feb 1586/1587 in Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwick Co., England. He died 1658/1659 in St. Stephen's Parish, Walbrook and was buried in north side of St. Stephen's Church.
"There is a remarkable recorded instance of a Stratford boy going on his own account and unbefriended to London to seek merchantile employment and making for himself a fortune and high position in trade there. The lad, JOHN SADLER, belong to Shakespeare's social circle at Stratford. Born there on February 24, 1586-7, the son of John Sadler, a substantial townsman who was twice bailiff in 1599 and 1612, and nephew of the dramatist's friend Hamnet Sadler, the youth, early in the 17th century, in order to escqape a marriage for which he had a distaste, suddenly (according to his daughter's subsequent testimony) "joined himself to the carrier [on a good horse which was supplied him by his friends] and came to London, where he had never been before, and sold his horse in Smithfield; and having no acquaintance in London to recommend or assist him, he went from street to street and house to house, asking if they wanted an apprentice, and though he met with many discouraging corns and a thousand denials, he went till he light on Mr. Brooksbank, a grocer in Bucklersbury." The story of Sadler's journey to London and his first employment there is told in his daughter's autobiography, "The Holy Life of Mrs. Elizabeth Walker, late wife of Antony Walker, D.D. (1690.) Sadler's fortunes in London progressed uninterruptedly. He became one of the chief grocers or druggists of the day, and left a large estate, including property in Virginia, on his death in 1658. His shop was at the Red Lion in Bucklersbury - the chief trading quarter for men of his occupation. Shakespeare in 'Merry Wives,' III, iii. 62, writes of fops who smelt 'like Bucklersbury in simple time" - a reference to the dried herbs which the grocers stocked in their shops there. A Stratford neighbor, Richard Quiney, Sadler's junior by eight months, became his partner, and married his sister (on August 27, 1618). Quiney died in 1655. Sadler and Quiney jointed presented to the Corporation of Stratford on August 22, 1632, 'two fayre gilte maces,' which are still in use, and they also together made over to the town a sum of 150 L, 'to be lent out, the increase [i.e. interest] to be given the poor of the borough forever.' Shakespeare was on intimate terms with both the Sadler and Quiney families. Richard Quiney's father (of the same name) was a correspondent of the dramatist, and his brother Thomas married the dramatist's younger daughter, Judith."
JOHN SADLER was born at Stratford-on-Avon, England, and with his son-in-law, Richard Quiney, was the owner of Martin's Brandon and Merchant's Hope on James River. His sister, Anne Sadler married John Harvard, founder of Harvard College.
Captain Robert Bargrave, as stated in a land grant of 1637, sold Martin's Brandon to Symon Sturgis, John Sadler and Richard Quiney of London, merchants. In 1643, as stated in another grant, the general assembly confirmed to William Barker, John Sadler and Richard Quiney 4,550 acres known as "Martin's Brandon, between Chippokes Creek and Ward's Creek, due them by purchase from the heir of Captain John Martin, deceased." So this Captain Robert Bargrave was doubtless a grandson of Capt. John Martin. Brandan and Merchant's Hope, or Powell brook, became the joint property of Richard Quiney and his brother-in-law, John Sadler.
"In 1634 a bark called 'Ye Merchant's Hope' was plying between England and Virginia. In 1635, under West, William Barker, mariner, Richard Quoying (Quiney), and John Salder, merchants, and their associates and company, received a grant of 1,250 acres of land in the county of Charles City, and extending into the woods from a seat or grant of lands called Merchant's Hope, formerly granted to the said Barker his Associates and Co. This tract, enlarged by the purchase from his heirs of Captain Powell's holdings, already historic ground by reason of his tragic end here in the Massacre of 1622, was repatented under Harvey in 1638 as "Merchant's Hope, formerly known as Powle Brook." Barker received further grants and bought other lands in the neighborhood. Sadler and compoany were granted some portion of Martin's Brandon in 1636 and other tracts in 1649, and the holdings of these men now formed two plantations of great size, the home of a considerable colony. (Quincey and Sadler were brother-in-law.)
"In 1655 we hear for the first time of court being held at Merchant's Hope. Barker must have sold his interest in the two places, leaving Quiney and Sadler joint owners. Quiney, whose brother Thomas had married Judith Shakespeare in 1615-16, died in London in 1655. Sadler, who was, I believe, his father-in-law, died in 1658. Of his will we shall have occasion to speak later.
An inventory dated 1608, in MS, in the Council Chamber of Stratford-on-Avon, was taken by the discretion of Sir William Gilbard minister, and Mr. John Sadler.
The Will of John Sadler, citizen and grocer of London, dated Dec 11 1658, was proved Jan 3rd 1659. His wife Elizabeth, who died before him, was buried at Stratford-upon-Avon. He devised his lands in that town and elsewhere to his sons-in-law, Master John Wilby, Doctor in physic, and Master Antonie Walker, Minister of Fifield in Essex, in trust for brining up their sons, John Wilby and John Walker. Wilby married Isabel Sadler and Walker married Elizabeth Sadler; their children, Elizabeth, Isabel and Katherine Wilby, and Margaret & Elizabeth Walker, had legacies of £100 each from their grandfather, John Sadler, who left to his other daughters, Ellen and Anne Sadler, £400 each; to his cousins Margaret Jones and William Baker, £5 each. He bequeathes estates in Virginia to his son, JOHN SADLER, born in 1632, who is called "grocer and druggist," in the Walbrook Registers, and who appears to have continued the business in Bucklersbury with Adrain Quincy; he married, and had, with other children who died infants, a son, JOHN SADLER, baptized September 29, 1664.
[Shakespeareana Genealogica: Part I. Identification of the Dramatis Personę ... By George Russell French]
The names of Richard Quiney and John Sadler, brothers-in-law appear in the registers of St. Stephens. Adrian, son of Richard Quiney, was for many years Churchwarden of the parish. Both names appear several times in the Parish Minutes; in 1626-7, some large repairs having to be carried out to the Church, both "Mr. Sadler and Queyney" lent the sum of £5 to the Parish, this was repaid them, according to the minutes, in 1631; in this year £20 was received from John Sadler, as a fine, for not serving the office of Churchwarden, from this fact there is no doubt that he was a man of good position; he died 1658 and was buried on the north side of St. Stephen's Church. Richard Quiney died at an advanced age, and was buried, at his own request, in the Church of Stratford-upon-Avon.
_________________________________________________________
Information on John Sadler of Merchant's Hope and Brandon. Note, he died in 1659, and thus could not have been the father of Martha Sadler, who was born approximately 45 years later. But his grandson, another JOHN, could have been!
ROWLAND SADLER was burgess for James City County in 1642-1643. He came over on the Merchant's Hope:
"Ultimo July 1635. In a list of the names of those to be transported to Virginia, imbarqued in "ye Merchant's Hope" by the minister of Gravesend, was the name Rowland Sadler." Now isn't this interesting?! Any thoughts about Rowland would be appreciated.
The Stratford-Upon-Avon Corporation Maces. In the Corporation records is an entry, which is interesting in an archaeological view, as well as in relation to families connected with the Poet. "At this Hall the Company received two fayre gilte maces of the guift of Mr. JOHN SADLER and MR. RICHARD QUINY, citizens and grocers of London, to be borne before the Bayliffe and chiefe alderman of this Borough for the time being for ever, which donors and benefactors were borne in this borough, and their fathers had been Bayliffes and Aldermen of this Borough, 22 August 1632."
The father of John Sadler, of the same name, was high bailiff in 1570, and Richard Quiney's father, of the same name, was bailiff in 1601, whose third son Thomas Quiney married the Poet's youngest daughter Judith.
"Gleanings" footnote states: [Richard Quiney II, testator of will] it seems, was brother-in-law of Rev. John Sadler, but whether this Rev. John Sadler was related to the father-in-law of Rev. John Harvard we have no means of ascertaining. Shakespeare's daughter Judith marired Feb 10, 1615-16 Thomas Quiney, a wine merchant residing in the High Street of Stratford-upon-Avon.
John Westhrope was a London merchant, who in 1650 patented 1500 acres on Ward's Creek in Charles City county, (now Prince George). He was major of militia and in 1644 represented Charles City County in the House of Burgesses. His will, dated Sept 24, 1655, was proved in London June 12, 1658. He married a daughter of John Sadler of London, but had no surviving issue. He gave his estate to his five sisters.
BARGAVES: George Bargrave, brother of Rev. Thomas Bargrave, was born about 1584. He was a sea captain employed in trade between England and Virginia; married Dorcas, daughter of Capt John Martin. His son, Robert Bargrave, sold "Brandon," on James River to certain merchants of London: William Barker, John Sadler, and Richard Quiney. JOHN Bargrave, brother of George, was born about 1578. He established the first private plantation on James River. He had a long dispute with Sir Thomas Smythe regarding his interests in the colony and all of his claims were denied. Rev. THOMAS Bargrave, son of Robert, of Bridge in Kent, and his wife Joanna, daughter of John Gilbert of Sandwich, came to Virginia about 1619, and died there in 1621, leaving his library to the proposed college at Henrico. His brother was George. And WILLIAM Bargrave was burgess from Charles City county in the assembly of 1645. He was a sea captain and patented large tracts of land on the south side of James River, in company with Richard Quiney and John Salder, merchants of London.
From Richard Quiney's will: "To my brother in law John Sadler and my sister Elizabeth his wife ten pounds."
His will dated December 11, 1658, was proved January 3, 1659.
WILL OF JOHN SADLER of St. Stephen's Walbroke, London, grocer, 11 Decmeber 1658, proved 3 January 1658 (yes, they give the same year).

"In 1711, under Spotswood, the Salder and Quiney heirs repatented Merchant's Hope, now 2,208 acres." (see his son, John Jr.)
John married Elizabeth QUINEY, daughter of Richard QUINEY "the Bailiff" and Elizabeth PHILLILPS, on 1618. Elizabeth died (before her husband) and was buried in Parish Church-Stratford-upon-Avon, England.
We also learn that his (Richard Quiney II's) sister Elizabeth Quiney was the wife of his partner, John Sadler, whose sister Eleanor had married Richard Quiney.
From her brother Richard's will: To my brother in law John Sadler and my sister Elizabeth his wife ten pounds.
They had the following children:
+ 2 M i. John (III) SADLER was born 1632.
+ 3 F ii. Isabel SADLER died (before her father).
+ 4 F iii. Elizabeth SADLER died (prior to her husband).
+ 5 F iv. Eleanor (Ellen) SADLER died (before her husband).
Second Generation
2. John (III) SADLER (John (Jr.)) was born 1632.
About his father, John's, will: He bequeathes estates in Virginia to his son, JOHN SADLER, born in 1632, who is called "grocer and druggist," in the Walbrook Registers, and who appears to have continued the business in Bucklersbury with Adrain Quincy; he married, and had, with other children who died infants, a son, JOHN SADLER, baptized September 29, 1664.
The quaint old church at Merchant's Hope was supposedly built in 1657. There was, of course, a ship called "Merchant's Hope."
He had the following children:
+ 6 M i. John (IV) SADLER was christened 29 Sep 1664 and died (will proved 16 November 1716).
3. Isabel SADLER (John (Jr.)) died (before her father).
In the poet's time grocers seem to have been the druggists of the period; they probably merely provided drugs for the manipulation of the apothecary, or, in other words, there were no professional pharmaceutics', pharmacy as a science being comparatively unknown. The grocer-druggists, however, often came in contact with the physician, and as an instance of such intercourse, it appears that a daughter of John Sadler became the wife of Dr. Wilby, a physician, and in Quiney's will is mentioned another member of the profession.
Isabel married John WILBY -Doctor in physic.
They had the following children:
7 M i. John (II) WILBY.
8 F ii. Elizabeth WILBY.
9 F iii. Isabel WILBY.
10 F iv. Catherine WILBY.
4. Elizabeth SADLER (John (Jr.)) died (prior to her husband). Elizabeth Sadler Walker wrote a book, entitled "The Holy Life of Mrs. Elizabeth Walker, late wife of A.W., Walker, D.D."
"Mrs. Walker was a woman of unusual education for the time, a Londoner, born in 1623 in the parish of Bucklersbury, where her father, John Sadler, was a druggist. Upon coming home from school at Stratford-upon-Avon, perhaps became was an only child and missed companions, she "fell into a melancholy," and was dispatched to Barnston to live in the country, to live in the family of the rector, John Beadel, whose daughter, Mrs. Watson, was wife of the minister of St. Stephen's Walbrook, in which parish the Sadler's then lived. At Barnston she met her future husband, who sometimes exchanged for a Sunday with Beadel. They were married on July 23, 1650. Walker, on resigning the chaplaincy, settled first at Croydon, and afterwards at St. Mary Aldermanbury, in the City of London. The changes effected by the operation of the Act of Uniformity again brought them to Essex, and to close connection once more with the family at Lees. Walker was presented by Charles Rich on September 26, 1662, to the valuable rectory of Fyfield, a village situated not far from Ongar, in the Rodings of Essex. There he remained until his death about September 1692." [Mary Rich, Countess of Warwick (1625-1678): Her Family and Friends By Charlotte Fell-Smith]
We have historical evidence that the puritan spirit, probably as the effect of lectures (which occurred after the devastating fires of 1594, 1595, and again in 1614) entered the families of Quiney and Sadler. Mrs. Walker, in her autobiographical remains before quoted, gives an account of a religious melancholy into which she fell: in this state she consulted her aunt Mrs. Quiney "a gracious, good woman," who, "from her own experience in the like case," gave her good advise. This Mrs. Quiney was a Sadler of Stratford, born in 1594. Mrs. Walker says that all her three Stratford aunts were "eminently wise and good women;" and of Mr. Quiney himself she says that he was a "religious good man."
Allegations for Marriage Licenses Issued from the Faculty Office of the Archbishop of Canterbury at London: July 22, 1650: Anthony Walker, of Croydon, Surrey, Clerk, Bachelor, 29, and Elizabeth Sadler of St. Stephen's, Walbrook, London, Spinster, abt 27, alleged by John Sadler, of same, Citizen and Grocer, at St. Stephen's afs., or the chapel of Hammersmith, Middlesex.
Elizabeth married Anthony WALKER -Minister of Fifield in Essex on 1650. Anthony was born about 1622 in Connington, co Cambridge/of Croydon, Surrey. He died Sep 1692 in Fyfield, not far from Ongar, in the Rodings of Essex.
By the will of John Sadler, it appears that one of his daughters married a puritan minister, Anthony Walker, of Fifield, Essex.
Anthony Walker (1692) He is called "Dr. Walker" in the will of J. Aylette (1667). He marired Elizabeth, daughter of John Sadler of St. Stephen's, Walbrook (1657). J.S. was the son of John Sadler of Stratford-upon-Avon, and had a nephew, Adrian Quiney, and a cousin, John Lilborne. Anthony Walker was the author of Pianctus Unigeniti, a serman preached at Felstead (1664).
Anthony Walker, s. William, vicar of Winston, Suffolk; pensioner of St. John's Coll., Cambridge, 3 April 1638, aged 16, B.A. 1641-2; M.A. 1645; (incorporated 14 July 1657). B.D. 1663; born at Connington, co Cambridge, chaplain to the Earl of Warwick, "lord high admiral of the rebels fleet," rector of Fyfield, Essex, 1650, chaplain in ordinary to Charles II; of Croydon, clerk; licensed 22 July 1650 to marry Elizabeth, daughter of John Sadler, of St. Stephen, Walbrook, citizen and grocer.
Mary Rich, countess of Warwick, called Anthony Walker her spiritual father, "a very good natured, civil, and ingenuous person whom I took much delight in conversing with."
Some papers were mentioned, and the "rest was made in a letter of Mr. Cox of Coggeshall, and son-in-law to Dr. Walker," in August 1698. And it is remarked that perhaps Mary Rich, countess of Warwick, committed them to the care of Anthony Walker.
Walker married, as his second wife, Mistress Masham, sister to Sir Francis Masham, of Otes, in the parish of High Laver, Essex.
They had the following children:
11 M i. John WALKER.
12 F ii. Margaret WALKER.
13 F iii. Elizabeth WALKER.
5. Eleanor (Ellen) SADLER (John (Jr.)) died (before her husband) and was buried in Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwick Co., England. One source says: Ellen Sadler, Richard Quiney's wife, daughter of John Sadler, was aunt of Anne Sadler, the wife of John Harvard, founder of Harvard College. (I cannot reconcile this quote)
Eleanor married Richard (II) QUINEY, son of Richard QUINEY "the Bailiff" and Elizabeth PHILLILPS. Richard was born 1587 and was christened 8 Oct 1587. He died May 1655-6 and was buried in Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwick Co., England.
The second son, Richard Quiney, born 1587, married Eleanor, daughter of John Sadler. They had four sons: Richard, Adrian - colonel in "the Green regiment of the City of London;" William who resided at Shottery; and Thomas, who settled in London.
Richard Quiney who married Eleanor Sadler was in partnership with his wife's brother, John Sadler, as grocers and druggists in London, at the Red Lion, Bucklersbury. Richard Quiney and John Sadler presented two silver-gilt maces to the Corporation of Stratford upon Avon, in memory of the fathers' having been aldermen and bailiffs of the borough. These partners also left a lasting proof of their attachment to their native town: "John Sadler and Richard Quiney, Gentlemen, and citizens of London, gave £150 to be lent out; the increase to be given to the poor of this borough forever."
Notes: Richard appeared at the London Visitation of 1634, when his right to coat-armour, three trefoils on a bed, was allowed. He died in May 1656, leaving a very numerous issue of whom the eldest was Richard, and the fourth son, William, returned to Stratford, and settled at the village of Shottery.
Richard Quiney, son of Richard Quiney of Stratford-on-Avon, and brother of Thomas Quiney who married February 10, 1615-16, Shakespeare's daughter Judith. He married Ellen, daughter of John Sadler, of Stratford, and niece to Anne Sadler, the wife of John Harvard, founder of Harvard College. He and his father-in-law, John Sadler, purchased Brandon on James River from Robert Bargave, grandson of Capt. John Martin. They also owned Powell Brooke, or Merchant's Hope. His will was proved in England Jan 3, 1656.
Richard Quiney, citizen and grocer of London, made his Will August 16, 1655; proved by his son Richard January 3, 1656. He mentions his sons, Richard, Adrian, Thomas and William; his brother-in-law, William Smith; his cousins John and Robert Smith; Dr. Richard Bailey; William Wheate; Dr. John Wilby; George Nash; John Sadler; Richard Chaundler; William & Chalres Watts; William Baker; and his female cousins: Ellen Parker and Margaret Jones.
His daughters were: 1. Ellen, born 1619, married to Edward Pilkington; 2. Elizabeth, born 1620, the wife first of ---Cooper, secondly of Richard Pile; 3. Anne, born 1627, the wife of Thomas Booth; 4. Isabel, born 1628, the wife of John Lilburne; 5. Sarah, born 1634, who married ---Cooper. Richard Quiney speaks of his grandchildren: Elizabeth Pilkington, William and Richard Cooper, and Richard Booth.
We also learn that his sister Elizabeth Quiney was the wife of his partner, John Sadler, whose sister Eleanor had married Richard Quiney.
He left to his son Thomas, with property in Virginia and elsewhere, his "part and share in the ship called The Seven Sisters, Abraham Reade, Commander;" this vessel was evidently so named in allusion to Richard Quiney's seven daughters, for beside the five already specified Mr. T. Milbourn has furnished the compiler with the names of two more from the Registers of St. Stephen's, Walbrook, viz: Maria, baptized April 14th, 1622, and another Mary, baptized Feb 9th 1633, buried April 1st 1640. He left to the poor of Stratford-upon-Avon £10, and also two small tenements near the Meer side in Stratford, in trust to that town for ever to pay to the poor Alms-people the profits after defraying certain outgoings. He also directs that he should be buried at Stratford, and he gives to master Beane, or such orthodox divine who should be in his stead, forty shillings for preaching his funeral sermon. He bequeathed to his brother, Thomas Quiney, £12 per annum, but does not mention his wife, Judith Shakespeare.
His will is also mentioned in Genealogical Gleanings in England By Henry Fitz-Gilbert Waters, New England Historic Genealogical Society, page 197, along with a genealogical chart:
His will directed that he be buried at Stratford upon Avon in the county of Warwick, "where my father & other my ancestors are interred.

If he shall not at the time of my decease be resident in England, then my sons-in-law Edward Pilkington & Thomas Booth to be executors in trust for him in his absence.
Richard Quyney of Shottery, Warwick, gentleman, made his will 25 May 1682; proved 21 November 1684. He asked to be buried in the parish church of old Stratford , in the "vault wherein my father and mother were laid." He left bequests to: brother Adrian Quyney; brother Thomas Quyney; brother-in-law Edward Pilkington; sister Elianor Pilkington; brother-in-law Elizabeth Pyle; brother-in-law Jarvis Cooper, sister Sarah Cooper; nephew Robert Harvey; niece Barbara Harvey; nephew Richard Cooper; nephew George Lilburne; niece Elianor, daughter of my late brother John Lilburne; niece Katherine Booth; niece Sarah Cooper; niece Elianor Cooper; cousin Richard Chandler; cousins Richard, William, Charles & James Watts; cousins JOHN SADLER, William Baker, Margaret Jones, Henry Dighton, William Challoner, Reginald Forster, Francis Watts, William and John Smith, cousins Anne Mitchell & Elizabeth Baylye, cousin John Frogmere. Brother William Quyney (whom it hath God to deprive of his reason). Brother Adrian was executor; Thomas was overseer. (Footnote states: The testator of the above will was the oldest son of Richard Quiney of London, grocer, by Ellen daughter of JOHN SADLER of Stratford-upon-Avon. The wills of his father and his brother Adrian are given in the book The New England Historical and Genealogical Register. His brother Thomas Quiney inherited their father's land and other property in Virginia. Their connection with Shakespeare, and indirectly with John Harvard and Governor Willys of Connecticut makes them interesting.)

Adrian, son of Richard Quiney, died at an advanced age; he was for many years churchwarden at St. Stephen's, Walbrook, and colonel of the Green Regiment of the Trainbands; his will contains an express announcement that he wished to be buried with the prayers of the Church of Engalnd, at the town of Stratford-on-Avon, where he was born.
In the will of Adrian Quiney, citizen and grocer, and churchwarden of St. Stephen's, Walbrook, dated Feb 4 1692; proved August 14 1693, nearly all the names are mentioned which appear in his father's will; thus he speaks of his sisters Sarah Cooper and Elizabeth Pile; of his brother-in-law Edward Pilkington, his nephew George Lilburne (who was a druggist); his nieces Honora and Isabel Lilburn, and his nieces Sarah and Eleanor Cooper.

Third Generation
6. John (IV) SADLER (John (III), John (Jr.)) was christened 29 Sep 1664. He died (will proved 16 November 1716) in (late of St. Stephens Parish, Walbrook, London, and late of Hunsdon, Herts).
***** IMPORTANT NOTE: From his grandfather, John's, will: His grandfather bequeathed estates in Virginia to his son, JOHN SADLER, born in 1632, who is called "grocer and druggist," in the Walbrook Registers, and who appears to have continued the business in Bucklersbury with Adrain Quincy; he married, and had, with other children who died infants, a son, JOHN SADLER, baptized September 29, 1664.
JOHN SADLER, late of St. Stephen, Walbrook, London, and late of Hunsdon, Hertx., who had a plantation near James River, VA. Will 2 January 1709 (quote says 1799?!) ; proved 16 November 1716 by Sir Charles Ingleby. (PROB11/555). AWP. [North American Wills Registered in London 1611-1857]
1711: JOHN SADLER, citizen and grocer of London, and Rev. Joshua Richardson, clerk, husband of Ellinor Richardson, were executors of Thomas Quincy, book No 10, page 40.
"In 1711, under Spotswood, the Salder and Quiney heirs repatented Merchant's Hope, now 2,208 acres. In the meantime that part of Charles City county lying along the south bank of James River had been made into a new county and called Prince George, no doubt in honor of Queen Anne's Danish consort. There is a deed among the Prince George county records, executed in 1720, conveying, on the part of Quiney's heirs, one-half of Merchant's Hope and Martin's Brandon to Nathaniel Harrison, who doubtless bought the other half of both plantation from the heirs of John Sadler. He thus became the sole owner of a magnificent tract, which in part remains in the Harrison family today."
Regarding the will of John Sadler above referred to, the book Colonial Churches in the Original Colony of Virginia, continues with the following: "He leaves a portion of his cattle on "his plantations in Virginia in parts beyond the sea *** to the minister and parish there, and £20 worth of goods to be delivered to Master Charles Sparrowe and the chiefest of the parishioners of the parish of Martin's Brandon, to repairing the church and parsonage." Of course, this church, about whose repair Sadler and Westhrope were concerning themselves, could not be a recently built brick edifice, but must refer to the earlier church of Brandon."
THE WILL OF JOHN SADLER, late of London, grocer, now of Hunsdon Herts, 2 January 1698, with a codicil dated 12 January 1698, proved 16 November 1716. "I give and devise unto Sir Charles Ingleby knight, Sergeant at Law, and his heirs, to use of him and his heirs, all those my two parts, the whole into four parts to be divided, of all those copyhold messuages, lands, tenements, and herditaments held of the manor of Newington Barrow als Highbury, in the parish of Islington Middlesex, heretofore surrendered to the use of this my will, and all that my messuage or tenement situate and being in St. Lawrence Lane in the parish of St. Mary le Bow in the said city of London, with the appurtenances, late in the possession of Thomas Parker, now in the possession of the widow Freeman or her assigns; and the said Sir Charles and his heirs yearly to pay to my wife Elizabeth during her natural life one annuity or yearly rent charge of thirty pounds of lawful money (in quarterly sums).
And I devise unto the said Sir Charles Ingleby and his heirs all that my moiety of a certain plantation in Virginia at or near James River, containing by estimation six thousand four hundred acres or thereabouts, called Martins Brandon, and also all that my moiety of one other plantation, at or near the said river in Virginia, called or known by the name of Martins Hope, containing one thousand nine hundred acres or thereabouts, upon trust that the said Sir Charles Ingleby and his heirs do and shall pay or cause to be paid unto my daughter Elizabeth Sadler and her assigns one moiety or half part of the clear yearly rents issues and profits of my said shares of the said plantations in Virginia for and during the term of her natural life; and in case the said Sir Charles Ingleby and his heirs shall think fit to sell the said moieties or shares of the said plantations, then as to one third part of the money arising by such sale my will is that the same shall be in trust for my said daughter her executors, administrators and assigns. And I give to my wife the whole benefit, advantage, and term of years yet to come of and in the house I now dwell in and all my plate, furniture and household stuff of what nature and kind soever. And my will is that my executor, herein after named, shall remise, release, and forever quitclaim unto Thomas Jackson, my tenant in Virginia aforesaid, all actions, suits, debts, and demands whatsoever for or upon account of any rent or arrears of rent or any fine or income for what lands or tenements he holds of me in the plantations aforesaid, or either of them. I give to Mr. Charles Spencer five pounds; to Mr. Charles Stafford five pounds. All the rest and residue of my estate, as well real as personal, after my debts paid and funeral expenses defrayed, I give and bequeath unto the said Sir Charles Ingleby, whom I make sole executor." The codicil contains nothing of importance genealogically and does not refer to the estate in Virginia.
Note: Sir Charles Ingleby was of Ripley, Yorks., the son of John Ingleby, and was a direct descendant of Sir Thomas Ingleby & Catherine Ripley. Charles was called to the Bar at Gray's Inn in 1671. Being a Roman Catholic, he was involved, in Feb. 1680, in a charge of being concerned with Sir Thomas Gascoigne in a plot against the King, and committed to the King's Bench prison; but on his trail at York the next July he was acquitted. After the accession of James II, he was constituted, on April 23, 1686, a Baron of the Irish Exchequer, but declined to go to that country; in May of the next year he was made Serjeant-at-Law, and on July 6 1688 was appoint a Baron of the Exchequer in England, when he was knighted. He returned to practice at the Bar, was present at the York Assizes in April 1693, and was fined 40 shillings for refusing to take the oaths to King William. I do not know how he was related to John Sadler. West Riding of York: Administration of the estate of Sir Charles Ingleby, "servientis ad legem in hopitio servientium ad legem Chancery Lane," was granted 9th February 1720 to his son Thomas. (*** Sir Charles is important, for one quote says that Brandon land in Virginia was sold by Lady Ingleby - see below)
He had the following children:
25 F i. Elizabeth SADLER. (only child listed in the will)
14. Ellen (Eleanor) QUINEY (m. Edward Pilkington) (Eleanor (Ellen) SADLER, John (Jr.)) was born 1619.

Ellen married Edward PILKINGTON.
From his father-in-law Richard Quiney's will: To my brother John Sadler and my sons-in-law Edward Pilkington and Thomas Booth, and my cousin Richard Chanadler five pounds apiece. The residue of all & singular my goods chattels,etc, I give and bequeath to John Sadler, Edward Pilkington, Thomas Booth, William Smith and Richard Chaundler, in trust, etc., for my four younger children: Adrian, Thomas, William & Sarah Quiney.

33 F iii. Sarah COOPER.
+ 34 F iv. Eleanor COOPER. *** (see notes below for supposition about Eleanor)
Fourth Generation
34. Eleanor COOPER (Sarah QUINEY, Eleanor (Ellen) SADLER, John (Jr.)). We know that Thomas Quiney left his lands in Virginia to his great nephew Robert Richardson, son of Eleanor and Rev. Joshua Richardson. It is my supposition that this Eleanor was the wife of the good Reverend. (But have no substantiating proof of that)
Richard Quiney left his interest to his son Thomas Quiney, who left it to his great-nehphew Robert Richardson, son of the Rev Joshua Richardson, rector of All Hallows the Wall London, her eldest son Joshua Richardson. Next to his heirs male, failing such to George Richardson, 2nd son of my niece Elianor Richardton, next to Robert Richardson, third son, etc.
(My suppostion, corrections welcomed!): Eleanor married Rev. Joshua RICHARDSON (supposition-see notes). Joshua died 28 Jan 1733.
In Book No 10, Prince George County, page 40: John Sadler, citizen and grocer of London, and Rev. Joshua Richardson, clerk, husband of Ellinor Richardson, executors of Thomas Quincy. [Virginia County Records - Page 186]
The Rev. JOSHUA RICHARDSON, a man of considerable eminence among the London clergy, was instituted rector of All Hallows, London-Wall, March 19, 1683; and held that living for forty hears. He was dean of Sion College in 1692; and president in 1700. When chaplain to Sir John Moore, the lord mayor in 1682, he preached before his lordship on the text taken from Proverbs xiv, verse 34, "Righteousness exalteth a nation; but sin is a reproach to any people," a most appropriate selection, and never was it wanted more than in that licentious period. It is probable, from comparing dates, he so well handled the subject, that it procured him his rectory. This venerable divine died January 28, 1733, aged 86 years. (does not name his wife)
[A Biographical History of England, from the Revolution to the End of George ... By Mark Noble, James Granger]
They had the following children:
35 M i. Joshua (II) RICHARDSON (eldest son).
36 M ii. George RICHARDSON.
37 M iii. Robert RICHARDSON.
The land in Brandon was first granted to John Martin, who came to America with Capt. John Smith. Martin was a member of His Majesty's first council in Virginia, and his place was then known as Martin's Brandon. He either sold or gave up the grant, for in 1635 it was conveyed to John Sadler and Richard Quiney, merchants, and William Barber, mariner. Quiney's brother, Thomas, married William Shakespeare's daughter Judith (but their 3 sons all died young). Richard left his share of the land to his son, and from the latter is passed to his great-nephew, Robert Richardson.
Robert Richardson, in 1720, conveyed Thomas Quiney's inheritance in Brandon, as well as in Powell Brook, to Nathaniel Harrison, to whom the other moiety doubtless passed about the same time from the Sadlers.
The plantation has remained in the Harrison family ever since. It is divided into two estates - Lower and Upper Brandon. The house at Lower Brandon contains a collection of portraits of eminent persons, formerly the properly of William Byrd of Westover.
"Other authors state that the place passed to Lady Frances Ingleby, and that she sold it to Harrison. The first Nathaniel had a son of the same name, who was a member of the Council of State, and this Harrison's son Benjamin married Evelyn Byrd; not the beauty of Westover, but her aunt. The eldest of their sons, George Evelyn, a member of the House of Burgesses, inherited Brandon." [Historic Houses of Early America By Elsie Lathrop]
What is interesting about the quote about Lady Frances Ingleby is that Sir Charles Ingleby was one of the heirs of John Sadler (whom I call the fourth -see above). Sir Charles was undoubtedly left control of the lands in Virginia that had been inherited by John Sadler:
JOHN SADLER'S will was proved in 1716: "And I devise unto the said Sir Charles Ingleby and his heirs all that my moiety of a certain plantation in Virginia at or near James River, containing by estimation six thousand four hundred acres or thereabouts, called Martins Brandon, and also all that my moiety of one other plantation, at or near the said river in Virginia, called or known by the name of Martins Hope, containing one thousand nine hundred acres or thereabouts, upon trust that the said Sir Charles Ingleby and his heirs do and shall pay or cause to be paid unto my daughter Elizabeth Sadler and her assigns one moiety or half part of the clear yearly rents issues and profits of my said shares of the said plantations in Virginia for and during the term of her natural life; and in case the said Sir Charles Ingleby and his heirs shall think fit to sell the said moieties or shares of the said plantations, then as to one third part of the money arising by such sale my will is that the same shall be in trust for my said daughter her executors, administrators and assigns."
Historic Houses goes on to say that the oldest part of Brandon, the southeast wing of the present house, was built by Nathaniel Harrison about 1712, and a few years later he added the other wing, both built of red bricks brought from England. If built at that earlier day, in other words prior to the sale from Robert Richardson in 1720, and possibly the sale from Lady Ingleby sometime in 1720, as well, (Sir Charles Inglesby's will was granted 9th February 1720 to his son Thomas), then perhaps the property was under lease to the Harrison's prior to that date. That is only a thought.
Any comments welcomed. Best, Virginia (Ginga) Mylius
