| 554 | From Northwich to the United States From: http://cheshiremagazine.com/Archives/leftwich.html (June 2008) In search of the Leftwich family roots J.Fran Orian He writes: I'm interested in knowing how far back the ancestry can be traced as there are several rumours in my family about our history that I would like to verify. Also, any information on the current state of repair and occupancy of 'Leftwich Hall' including its location? " The Leftwich family was a prominent in Cheshire antiquity and through one of their number the name is now equally established in many parts of the United States. The Leftwichs known origins lie in the reign of Edward the Confessor when they were Lords of Leftwich and holders of lands at Shipbroke, near what is now the town of Northwich. With the Norman Conquest, the Barony of Shipbroke passed to Richard De Vernon who accompanied William of Normandy to England in 1066. Later through marriage into the Winnington family, another family of Norman origin, part of Shipbroke, and the Barony, returned to the Leftwichs whose ancestral home was Leftwich Hall. Richard De Leftwich (1256-1307) was the son of Robert De Winnington and his second wife Matilda, a daughter of the Vernons. It was Richard who inherited the manor and was he who was the first to formally bear the name of Leftwich. In 1403, Robert De Leftwich fought at the Battle of Shrewsbury in the Percy Rebellion on the side of the defeated Hotspur. He was afterwards proclaimed to be a Rebel. In 1658, or thereabouts, it seems that Ralph Leftwich, the son of Thomas Leftwich of England, emigrated to the New World and in New Kent County (Virginia) was granted 300 acres of land on the Peanketank River. His son Thomas was born in Caroline County and his grandson, Joel Leftwich, fought with distinction in many campaigns, including the American War of Independence, attaining the rank of Brigadier General. He served in the General Assembly of Virginia and was also Sheriff of Bedford County. The Leftwich family eventually spread across America, notably into the Southern states, Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Tennessee, as well as Texas. One of the most illustrious Leftwich sons of modern times was Lt Col William G.Leftwich who was born in 1931 in Memphis. He enjoyed an exemplary military record with the Marine Corps but was sadly killed in a helicopter crash whilst serving in Vietnam. In 1979, a United States war ship, the USS Leftwich, was named in his memory. Little is known about the earliest Leftwich Hall, except that it was demolished and replaced in 1493. In 1616 it passed out of the family when Elizabeth Leftwich married William Oldfield; she being the last in direct line of succession. The Hall remained in the Oldfield family for about 150 years and afterwards it was allowed to fall into decay, eventually being pulled down about 1820. A farm stood here until after the Second World War and the Leftwich council housing estate now occupies the site. The only evidence of the former ancestral home is in the name, Old Hall Road. | Leftwich, Ralph (I3200)

| 556 | From Paula's notes: "(We fondly referred to her as the "hooky cop.") In the 1950's and 1960's she worked for the public schools system, when my generation was in high school. A time when truant officers patrolled the streets looking for 'teenagers who were not, but should have been, in school. Aunt Maud worked in this department. IF she came across the Fithian name, you can be sure our parents received a call from her." | Muller, Maud (I698)

| 566 | From: The Van Vechten genealogy / compiled by James Brown Van Vechten, ... Van Vechten, James Brown, 1871-1950. (p 258) Lists Catherine birth year as 1711. (p 495) #l044 - CATHARINE, daughter of #l033 — Johannes and Maria Bogardus She inherited some extensive holdings in the Holland Patent in the Hoosic Valley from her grandfather #3 Gerrit Teunisse, who was one of the Patentees. She married Bernardus Bratt, a member of one of the old Dutch families of New York. The Bratt name, like many others, went through numerous changes and some of the descendants are known as Bradt or Brodt. Being in possession of these Patent holdings, Bernardus became quite prominent and was known as "The Patroon". It was said that some of the officials became a bit jealous of his prominence and prosper ity and tried to harrass him politically. The following excerpt was copied from the Minutes of the Board of Aldermen of Albany, August 23, l742: "This Board appointed Gerrit G. Van Denburg and Johannes Van Vechten to go with The Jury to view the premises in the action of the Corporation (of Albany) against Bernardus Bratt and that they hire a "Battoe" -- and hands to carry up some evidence, necessary for The Jury and they are to gett provisions at Simon Daniel's for which they are to be paid and likewise for their trouble, what is reasonable." However, there was nothing in the record regarding the findings of The Jury. So we assume "It was just one of those things".
