GENEALOGY OF THE JADWIN FAMILY TREE PLANTED IN JAMESTOWNE
Thomas Jadwin in C. J. Becker novel "The Dream for America" expresses the dream as follows:
"I foresee the day when a new form of society will be formed with the power coming from the people rather than from a line of Royal aristocrats that happen to inherit the role. Instead of being thrown on the mercy of succession, such a culture can elect the best leader from the public as a whole." Becker, Carl Jadwin, (2006) "The Dream of America"
Thomas is recorded in the meetings of Virginia Company of London as being in attendance in some 40 plus sessions of the Company. As an "Adventurer for Virginia " or as an investor in Virginia and/or Jamestowne he made investments early and continued to invest a number of times up through 1620. Captain John Smith identified Thomas as a Virginia Company investor who in 1615 also had shares in Somers Island (Burmuda) that was then a part of the Virginia Company of London.
The Virginia Census of the period1607-1890 compiled and located Provo Utah list Thomas Jadwin in the Virginia Colony in the years 1611 and 1623. His recorded stays or being located at these times in the Colony was most likely exploratory and/or review visits to determine development of the Company.
Thomas lived in London, England after 1583 and followed his private occupation as that of a Cutler and was also a practising solicitor (Attorney) acting as the Company's legal advisor. His office of Clerk for the Worshipful Company of Cutlers obtained superiority over that of the Beadle, who in earlier days of the company was its all important and the only official.
Thomas's mark was as follows:
Thomas Jadwyn (as spelled then) was a notable Clerk and was in office for over 40 years until his death in February 28,1627/28. (Julian calendar at the time began in March)
Thomas was born about 1555 in Borwick, Lancashire County England the son of William Jadwyn, Esquire. William of Borwick was born about 1526 according to the Heralds when granting the coat of arms to the Jadwins in 1629 though Robert the son of Thomas and grandson of William. (Barwick was the spelling referenced by Heralds)
It is not known whether William was born in Cheshire County or Lancashire County. Since in earlier times Cheshire was a part of Lancashire or Lancashire as a part of Cheshire. Both the counties that had common borders at the time and Welsh families settled in that area as early as the late 1100's. Borwick is a small Hamlet 8 to 12 miles outside the city of Lancaster and is referenced in the Doomsday book on England history.
The earliest reference found to the Jadwyn family is 7 September 1446 in Cheshire wherein a William (Wilhelmus), son of Hugh (Hughgonis) witnessed a deed. In the Celtic system of naming Hugh would mean "son of ". The naming would suggest that Hugh's father was also named William. Due to the geographical area and the uniqueness of the Jadwyn name the writer believes the William and Hugh were ancestral grandfathers of William of Borwick and later generations. L. Howard Jadwin in his book indicates the Jadwyns were Welsh. C.J Becker in his book also notes they were Welsh and the spelling of the name with the wyn at the end is common in the Welsh or in Wales. Others have suggested the Jadwins came from the area of Berwick or Hereford suggesting the area was like that of a corn field 20 miles from London and others say that Thomas was born in London. The facts do not appear to support these latter conclusions.
Thomas likely received his legal training as well as his skills of a Cutler from the Guilds of Prees Hall near Preston England in Lancashire County not far from Borwick. Thomas's father William Jadwyn was noted with the title Esquire in the Heralds review of the family background. The Esquire title in the 1500's and 1600's was used for the eldest son of a Knight, younger son of a Lord or Earl or one who managed the judicial and financial affairs of a Shire (County). Thus, Thomas's legal training may have come through his father's legal or judicial position and the association with the Guilds in Preston. The Skillicorne's were associated with the Guilds of Preston or Prees Hall while the Heskeths of Rufford Hall had several Solicitors (Attorneys) in the family, one of whom was one of Henry VIII's prominent Attorneys.
The marriage of Thomas to Lucy Skillicorne of Prees Hall in Lancaster County is symbolized in a record of their marriage significantly placed on a large Vellum role in "Old Rufford Hall" near Preston in Lancaster County. This Large role shows the Hesketh and Skillicorne's with others as observed by the writer. The actual marriage of Lucy and Thomas was held at St. Mildred Poultry 21 January 1583/84 just prior to his joining the Cutlers of London.
In particular, Lucy's ancestors tie very closely to the Hesketh family of Rufford Hall such as her grandmother and to the Skillicorne's who have a long history in Lancashire and Cheshire Counties. The Skillicorne held Prees Hall for over 250 years and the marriage between the Prees family and Skillicorne's date to the 1300's. The Heskeths and the Skillicorne marriages also date back to early times. Thus, all three families (Prees, Hesketh and Skillicorne's) are very ancient families of Lancashire County England. The Skillicorne are also noted to have been on the Isle of Mann, possibly earlier than Lancaster. The name being Norse (Skylycorne) on the Isle of Mann and t the people were a combination of Gaelic (Welsh, Irish and Scottish and Cornish) and Norse. Kirkham the home area of the Skillicorne's is about 7 miles west of Preston. Kirkham being a Danish/Saxon word meaning Church Home. It can also be noted in the Coat of Arms of the Skillicorne likeness to the one symbol of Cheshire with shocks of wheat or Garbs at the four corners of the cross on the Skillicorne's crest

PICTURES TAKEN BY WRITER
The children of Thomas and Lucy were christened in St Michael Paternoster and were:
Thomas Jadwyn christened on 10 December 1585 and died in 1587
Robert Jadwyn christened 19 March 1586/87 at St. Michael's London and died about 1658 in what was in 1692 named Essex County Virginia taken from the old Rappahannock County Virginia
Susanna Jadwyn christened 12 May 1588 died 1603 and was buried 8 October 1603 at St. Michael's
John Jadwyn christened on 30 July 1691 died 1603 and was buried on 7 November 1603 in St. Michael's
Thomas Jadwyn (second child so named) christened 20 August 1592 died in 1594/95 being buried 12 January 1594/1995
There is also a Margaret Jadwin with Christening on 20 July 1584 that could be the oldest of the children, but the record does not indicated the parents. She later was married to Christopher Jeffery on 30 April 1629 or shortly after Roberts's marriage to Cicely in 1628.
Lucy was born about 1560-65 in Lancashire England and died in 1593 being buried 7 November 1593 at St. Michael's Paternoster London England
Thomas had accumulated some degree of wealth during his lifetime including the land in Virginia, Bermuda and three Public Houses (Pubs). These pubs or messuages or tenements referred to in his Will were known by the names of Unicorn, Saracens Head and the Crown. (Houses, dwellings courtyards and outbuildings as well as orchards). The Saracens head was divided into several tenements. These were located in Southwark across the Thames River from London proper and left to his wife Elizabeth during her life and then to son Robert.
Robert was the only child of Thomas's marriage to Lucy Skillicorne living to adulthood. Likewise, none of the males born to Thomas and his second wife Elizabeth were married or lived to adulthood.
Robert Jadwyn (3), Thomas Jadwyn (2), William Jadwyn (1) was the only male descendant of his father Thomas and mother Lucy to carry down the Jadwin name. Robert born in London, England and christened at his fathers church St Michaels Paternoster 19 March 1586/87 and died in Rappahannock County Virginia on or about 1658. Some reference to Roberts death being in Essex County and may have been in that area, however, Essex County did not come into being until 1692. Robert also was schooled at Merchant Taylor School, a School that exists in current times.
Robert Jadwyn had succeeded his father as the Clerk of the Cutlers as reflected in the notes of the Cutlers minutes as follows:
On the 28th February 1627-8 " being the buriall daye of Thomas Jadwyn the late Clerk" his son, Robert Jadwyn was elected Clerk in his fathers room.
Some ten years later Robert ran into some legal problems surrounding debt in 1637 that was initially being held against the Cutlers .As a result an indemnity bond or Counter bond was made by Robert and his brother-in law William Sharrow to hold the Company of Cutlers harmless. This occurred around the time of his stepmother Elizabeth's death in 1636-37. Robert during this period had not been acting as Clerk and reversion to the Clerk position was made through the efforts of Lord Cottingham. Robert retained the Clerks position though December 1641 and later his problems with the Cutlers continued when they seized knives as being bad or deceitful wares. His appeal to have the knives sent to him was honored by the Court.
In 1647 we find that Robert Jadwyn had remained in London and was listed as a Watch and Clock Maker in the Guilds of London
This latter point has led to a continuing question about the family's arrival in Virginia as being 1651 or 1658. One indicates the hand written notes of the Cutlers indicate the letter read on 25 September 1651 was from Virginia. Whereas the book of the Cutlers on page 175 states as follows:
" Meanwhile Robert Jadwyn, the late Clerk had gone from bad to worse, retired or was packed off to Virginia whence he sent a letter to the company read on 25th September 1651 peticoninge for and desiring thereby the knyves soe seized the Master & Wardens had seized being bad and deceiptfull wares". The court ordered they be sent to him and were delivered to his brother in law Mr. Smith a Silke Dyer to be sent to him. The records reviewed show no brother in law by this name, however being a Silk Dyer he may have been a friend of Roberts from the Guild of Silk Dyers of London or possibly a relative of his wife and thus a brother in law.
The writer does not know whether Robert he was actually in Virginia in 1651 or Jedburgh Scotland as others suggest. Several land transactions and witness documents on 18 September 1658 by Robert Jadwyn and a Power of Attorney from Robert Jadwyn to "friend" Jonathan Jadwin to conduct a land transaction in 1657.suggest some of the families were in Virginia prior to 6 October 1658. " On 15 May 1658 Martin Cole of Northumberland County and his wife sold 200 Acres in that county to Jonathan Jadwyn. Headrights claims normally were expected to be claimed or to complete transactions within 3 years of arrival.
The book on Cavaliers and Pioneers by Nugent references list Robert and his family being transported on 6 October 1658 apparently as headrights whereupon 1000 acres were provided on the Rappahannock River for persons named White, Cooper, Davis and Mann.
Whether Robert and his Family were in Virginia in 1651 and whether he returned to England bring the family with him in 1658 is a judgment which can be made by others. In the writer view it would seem harsh to bring Jeremiah at an age of 5 years in 1651 (christened as reference below and verified by current church authorities) on a trip that depending upon conditions that could be months in duration. Others have indicted no child under 12 years of age were normally brought to Virginia during this time frame.
Robert married Sisley Clarke on10 August 1628 in All Hallows the Less in London, England. She was the daughter of Sir Francis Clarke. Sisley was born on or about 1605 and died in 1667/68. Robert had died it is believed in 1658 or shortly thereafter. His death was at an age of 72 that could have been affected by the trip. Sisley had remarried to Nicholas Journew after Roberts's death and her will with the name of Journew was dated 30 January 1667. (Copy of Full Text of the Will is from the hand written notes of C .C. Jadwin written between1887-1892)
The Children of Robert and Sisley were:
Thomas Jadwyn christened 18 November 1629 died 24 December 1629 London England
Bartholomew Jadwyn christened 20 August 1631 at St. Michaels Paternoster and died and buried 26 August 1631
Robert Jadwyn christened 0n 21 March 1632/33 and died on or about March 1674 in Westmoreland County Virginia (Cople Parrish)
John Jadwyn christened 13 April 1634 in London England and died on or about April 1707in Talbot County Maryland. (Other data has him born in 1630 and the eldest son of Robert which would fit better to his age with his marriage to Anne Montague in 1650. Further, he being referenced in the Heralds review would indicated a birth date earlier than 1634)
Francis Jadwin birth or christening was 14 February 1644 All Hallows the Less. Burial date at St Margaret's Westminster is recorded as 14 September 1648
Jeremiah Jadwin christened 10 September 1646 at St Margaret's Church-Westminster died between 18 December 1697/98 and 23 February 1697/98 Westmoreland, Virginia
7. There is a reference to Jonathan Jadwin as child of Robert christened 29 November 1636 was listed on the list of headrights on 6 October 1658 in old Rappahannock County Virginia along with Robert Sr., Sisley, Robert, John, Jeremiah and Jonathan. Further he is referenced in 1657 Northumberland County as a "Friend" of Robert Jadwyn as follows:
" Robert Jadwyn of " The Isle of Wight County Virginia" gave a Power of Attorney to his friend Jonathan Jadwyn of Churbatuck to ask and demand of John Wood a bill of sale for land and that in the month of December of the same year1657. Jonathan Jadwyn obtained judgment against John Wood." (Chucatuck of Nasmond County/ Isle of Wight)
Jonathan was not named in the will of what would be his grandmother or what would be his mother Sisley. Sisley in her will named the three known sons Robert, John, Jeremiah and her grandson Bartholomew son of John. Plausibly, his grandmother was not a ware of his birth and he had died prior to Sisley's Will.
Thomas second marriage was on 28 May 1594 to Elizabeth Simonds at St.Mary Aldermary and her name has also been cited also as Wright and Rodway. Elizabeth died some ten years after Thomas's death on 13 January 1638/39 and was buried at St Mary Newington, in County Surrey. Her will of cites the children of her marriage to Thomas's as well as her stepchild Robert and step grandchild John the son of Robert.
The Children of Thomas and Elizabeth were:
Nathaniel Jadwyn christened at St Michaels on 30 March 1995 died and buried on 11 April 1595
Jadwyn born 1595/96 died 21 February 1596 at St Michaels
Jadwyn born 1597 buried 31 March 1597 at St Michaels
Elizabeth Jadwyn christened on 23 April 1598 buried 29 May 1599 at St Michaels
Harry Jadwyn born 1599 and buried on 22 April 1599 at St Michaels
Hannah Jadwyn born 1600 and died 1682 being buried 23 October in Pembroke parish Bermuda as her husband Thomas Dunscombe born 1595 and died in 1682 in Bermuda
Theophlis Jadwyn born 1601/1602 in St Michaels and died on or about 1627.
Susan Jadwyn christened 14 July 1605 at St Michaels and died 1638 in London. Susan married William Sharrow on 22 July 1623 in St. Michaels He died sometime after 1638 as he was named in the Will of his father-in law Thomas Jadwyn and his mother in law Elizabeth.
Only two of the children of Thomas and Elizabeth lived to adulthood that was daughters Hannah and Susan.
Thomas Jadwyn in his will gave his Burmuda lands to Hannah Jadwyn Dunscombe and her husband Thomas Dunscombe. Their children were Phillip, Thomas, Samuel, Jadwyn, John, Nehemiah, Susannah and Hannah. These children were born between 1617 and 1638.
The three sons of the immigrant Robert and Sisley Jadwyn along with the Jonathan Jadwin referred to earlier in the article at times lived in and around the Isle of Wight in Cople Parish as well as in Westmoreland County as did the father.
Robert Jadwin (1632-1674) (4) Robert Jadwyn, (3) Thomas Jadwyn (2), William Jadwyn (1) was named in the list of headrights transported on 6 October 1658 in Old Rappahannock County. Robert had contributed to the development of the early Virginia though purchase and development of land as well as serving as a Magistrate and Justice of the Peace in 1672 for Cople Parish, Westmoreland County. His Will was probated on 26 March 1674 in Cople Parish. Roberts's wife is unknown and they had three children that were:
1. Sisley Jadwin daughter of Robert was born on or about 1660 and died after sometime after 1682 in Talbot County Maryland where her Uncle John Jadwyn had moved when he left Virginia. Sisley reflected in the Quakers minutes witnessed a wedding in 1680. She married Robert Parvis in 1675/76 and he died in Talbot County Maryland in 1707.
2. Jane Jadwin born 1662 in Westmoreland County Virginia and died on or about 26 July 1694. Jane first married John Critcher in Richmond County and he died on or about February 1693/94 He or the Critcher Family and the Jadwins were in a series of lawsuits over property inheritance for land where the families had resided and owned in Westmoreland County. Following John's death Jane married Edward Berry and he died 1n 1700.
3. Robert Jadwin was born on or about 1669 and died about 1692 as he had earlier on 25 January 1691/92 signed as a witness to a land sale in Westmoreland County Virginia and named in a lease to a John Crutcher in 1690/91 He was unmarried and left no descendants. His time of death is supported by he fact his Uncle Jeremiah was named as administrator of his estate on 25 may 1692.
Jeremiah Jadwyn (4) (1646-1697) ((3) Robert (2) Thomas (1) William) was christened 10 September1646 at St. Margaret's at Westminster and died on or about February 1697/98 at Westmoreland County Virginia.
Jeremiah was a large landholder in Virginia and also inherited his mother Sisley's Plantation referenced in her Will of 30 January 1667. He was also the executor of the Will. In addition to his land holdings, he was employed as a surveyor of the highways of Westmoreland County on 30 July 1691, and Justice of Peace on 27 January1696 for Westmoreland county along with Lawrence Washington, George Washington's grandfather for Westmoreland County, Virginia. He was also named as administrator for his Nephew Robert's Will of 7 December 1693.
Jeremiah, as the third surviving brother and son of the Immigrant Robert never married. In this respect, in his own Will of 2 December 1697/98, he left all his property to Jeremiah Jadwin, his namesake, and the son of Bartholomew who was the son of his brother John Jadwyn and Anne Montague.
John Jadwyn although not originally not named as to be the administer of his brother Jeremiah estate pursued the right to do so. "30 august 1699 John Jadwyn by his petition to his Majesties Justices for this county setting forth that he being the eldest brother of Mr. Jeremiah Jadwin deceased" the Justices ruled in favor of the will giving the administration to John Tanner. John believing he should be the administrator and appealed to the General CourtOn 29 February 1699 John was granted administration.
An unusual event transpired during this period when Jeremiah Jadwin the son of Bartholomew Jadwin the son of John Jadwin of Maryland (about sixteen years of age) in Court made the choice of John Tanner to be his guardian. This Jeremiah the son of Bartholomew and grandchild of John had been the benefactor of the estate of the elder Jeremiah and John's brother. Later this Jeremiah was to move to Maryland with his Grandfather John and joined the Quakers and later in life was to be dismissed from the Quakers or "Friends". His children were Bartholomew and Jeremiah.
John Jadwyn 4 (1634-1707), Robert Jadwyn (3), Thomas Jadwyn (2), William Jadwyn (1), was born in London England and christened on 13 April 1634. He died on or about April 1707 in Talbot County, Maryland. John first married Anne Montague daughter of Peter Montague and she was born around 1634 died before 27 March 1659.The International Marriages list the marriage in 1650. At least one researcher lists the marriage as being in England at Boveney whereas other researchers indicate the marriage was in Virginia. If the marriage were truly in 1650 it would likely have been in England. She is referenced in her fathers Will in 1659 as deceased .In Peter's will he provided a share of his estate to "the child of Ann late wife of John Jadwin. The will was proved on 25 May 1959. John was a near neighbor of the Montague's on the South side of the Rappahannock River with 650 acres upon the head of Sharps Creek on 23 November 1658. This land was a combination of plots of 500 and 150 acres that had been in possession of his brother-in-law Wm Thompson husband of Ellen Montague. Peter was born in the Hamlet of Boveny just a few miles from Windsor Castle and Eton on the Thames River.

The children of John and Anne were:
Bartholomew Jadwin (5)(16541693) John Jadwin (4), Robert (3), Thomas (2), William (1),born 1654 whether it be London/Boveny or Westmoreland Virginia and died 11 January 1692/93 in Talbot County Maryland. In this respect to his mother on the Montague or the maternal side (Bartholomew Jadwin (3), Anne Montague (2), Peter Montague (1).
The Passenger and Immigration list has Bartholomew arriving to Maryland in 1665 and also had his father John also arriving in 1665.Whether Bartholomew had been in England or Virginia is not known or whether John had to go to England and bring him back to Maryland based upon his date of Immigration.
John Jadwin the son was born 1656 in London or Westmoreland County Virginia and died at early age around 1665 in Maryland. This is based upon Patents in Maryland which state:
" I John Jadwyn doo afsigne over to John Edmondson these rights my own sonn John Jadwyn and my man William Saunders as wittnefs my hand and seale this 23 January 1665
John Jadwyn the elder was the only immigrant of the three brothers John, Robert and Jeremiah to have had male issues from which the Jadwin name was carried down through the generations. John was to leave Virginia to Maryland since he was or became a Quaker and Virginia was not tolerant of Quakers. John at the time was living in Lancaster County and leased, rented and sold his lands in 1664 and Peter Montague witnessed these exchanges.
John Jadwyn after his move to Maryland became a large landholder as depicted in his will of 1706 and left this land to various member of the family. Some ten years after John moved to Maryland he re-married to Hannah on or about 1675. Hannah was born about 1655 in England and died in 1694 in Talbot County. The children of this second marriage were:
1.Robert Jadwin born 25 December 1676 in Talbot County Maryland and died 1727.He first married Martha Wooters in 1699. Robert married a second time to a lady named Elizabeth before 1721. The children by not being able to attribute them to which of the wives except Hannah who was born in 1713, thus the child of Martha as well as Robert the eldest son. The children were Robert, Joseph, Hannah Rachel, Samuel, Priscilla, Solomon and an unborn child. His personal estate was divided among the children. His Will prescribed Hannah his daughter could go live with his cousin Jeremiah
2. Hannah Jadwin born 19 January 1678 Talbot County Maryland and died on or about 1714 Hannah married David Arey on 1 November 1695 in Talbot County Maryland. Davids Will of 19 January 1714 was probated on 1 March 1714 also in Talbot County Maryland.
3. Joseph Jadwin was born 11 December 1680 and speculation has him moving to New York and died in 1743 being the ancestor of the Jadwin family of New York which in later years had the Pharmacy or Jad Salts and left some 27 Million Dollars to Princeton University.
4.Elizabeth Jadwin was born 17 December 1686 Talbot County and married Emmanuel Jenkinson 1 September 1704 and she is referenced in her fathers Will of 1707 and requested her give schooling and care to his youngest children (Thomas and John)
5.Sarah Jadwin born 20 May 1690 in Talbot County and married Phillip Morgan on 18 December 1707. Sarah after the death of Phillip Morgan married James Kendrick in 1734
6 Thomas Jadwin born 1692 in Talbot County. Thomas and John were witnesses to the Inventory of their Nephew's estate in 1752 in Queen Anne's County.
7. John Jadwin was born on 18 March 1694 in Talbot County This were the second child of John to be given the name. John married Mary Burns 5 December 1721
John Jadwyn, the immigrant, who initially in Virginia had acquired large land holding during the 1650'a and early 1660's and after departing Virginia re-established his even larger land handing in Maryland from the mid 1600's to the early 1707's as reflected in his Will of 1707. The impression one gains that he was a strong man and well principled as he left Virginia over his religious beliefs in the Quakers and did so until to his death leaving land for a church and burial grounds. Earlier, he had set forth his right to take care of what he considered a proper concern for family by insisting that he be the administrator of his brother Jeremiah's estate and appealed it to through the Courts to make it happen. He further left lands to his grandchildren in his Will of 1707.
John's descendants through his son and grandsons left important contributions to the developments of the United States. The Jadwin family that gave Princeton University 27 Million Dollars in 1966. A Thomas Jadwin who had several patents with Eastman Kodak or The Eastman Company. The family of Jadwins who were responsible for the Big Dredge. C.C. Jadwin and his family who did the early research on the family and his son who graduated number one from West Point and his continued work throughout the USA. L. Howard Jadwin and his extensive research on the Jadwin family from England to Virginia and the their migration to the many states throughout our country.
From the Jadwin Tree Planted in Jamestowne, Virginia a direct root to the family in Ohio was provided with the help of L. Howard Jadwin, C.C. Jadwin and the works of John Frederick Dorman as well as the access support from many of the public, historical, Quaker and family records. The Jamestowne Society linking the family to Thomas Jadwin 1555-1627 acknowledges these records. The following reflects the connecting roots:
I. Thomas Jadwin (2) 1555-1627 son of William Jadwin, Esquire (1). Thomas a Cutler and Attorney, for The Worshipful Company of Cutlers of London and as "An Adventurer for Virginia" owning land in Virginia and Somers Island, now Bermuda.
II. Robert Jadwin (3) 1586-1668 son of Thomas Jadwin and Lucy Skillicorne, Robert a Cutler, and inheritor of fathers invested land in Virginia. As an early resident of Virginia before 1658.
III. John Jadwin (4) 1634-1707 son of Robert Jadwin and Sisley Clarke John was Immigrant and large planter initially in Virginia and neighbor to father-in-law Peter Montague. Moved to Maryland as a Quaker due to Virginia intolerance to Quakers and again become large planter and landholder. John was only Jadwin to have male descendants from which came descendent Jadwin families. John married a second time after Anne's death to Hannah in Maryland or England and had a second family.
IV. Bartholomew Jadwin (5) 1654-1691 son of John Jadwin and Anne Montague. Maternally, it is Bartholomew (3) Anne Montague (2) Peter Montague (1) Bartholomew was landowner in Maryland and was referenced in Will of his grandmother Sisley Journew Widow of Robert Jadwin re-married to Nicholas Journew.
V. Jeremiah Jadwin (6) 1683-1727 son of Bartholomew Jadwin and Anne Asdell, Jeremiah Jadwin inherited large land holdings in Virginia from a great uncle Jeremiah Jadwin brother to his grandfather John Jadwin. Jeremiah the younger became a large landowner and planter in Maryland as well as a Quaker. In later years left the church or was asked to leave due to his views and beliefs. His lands and those left to him by his grandfather were passed down to his sons Bartholomew and Jeremiah and daughter Ann.
VI. Bartholomew Jadwin (7) 1702-1775 son of Jeremiah Jadwin and Isabel Harrison, Bartholomew Jadwin was landowner of considerable property in Maryland was left some administrative duties by his brother Jeremiahs in his Will of 1774. L. Howard Jadwin suggests in his book on page 120 that Jeremiah who first married Rachel Davis was a son of Bartholomew. Since the name Jeremiah was common on the Bartholomew side it could very well be the case. Some also conclude that the two Jadwins in the Revolutionary were brothers, that is, Bartholomew in Maryland and Jeremiah to North Carolina. Jeremiah, David, Bartholomew and David were considered to be of the same family of Bartholomew and all had signed the oath of fidelity and thus over age of 18. This would bring the Missouri and Ohio Jadwin's closer together.
VII. Bartholomew Jadwin (8) 1722-1800/1810 son of Bartholomew and Mary Dickenson, Landholder in Maryland Queens Anne's and Caroline County. Moved to Allegany County Maryland with son and brother.
VIII. Bartholomew Jadwin (9) 1745-1817 son of Bartholomew Jadwin and Grace Swift, Owned land in Allegany County Maryland, served in Revolutionary War from Maryland. Will named wife Susanne, daughter Nancy and referenced other unnamed children. At wife's death all property to be sold and equally divided among all my children. The other children of Bartholomew and Susanne were: Nancy born 1796, Thomas born in 1780 and it is believed Isaac born between 1782-1790 located in Ross County Ohio in 1830 adjacent to Hocking County with census listing him as Isaac Jadan. The name Isaac was also in used by two of the son's of Thomas, that is Thomas the younger and his brother Bartholomew. Both these sons also had sons by other common names in the Jadwin family such as William.
IX.
