By 1666, Hubert and his wife were purchasing land in Lancaster County, Virginia from Abraham Bush on Morratico Creek. This land was later willed to his son, Thomas Petty. Hubert's wife, Rebecca, first appears when she cosigns a deed selling one half of this property in 1667. (Named, Faith, in will. Probably a "pet" name for Rebecca, however Faith could be a second marriage for Hubert). On March 17, 1686, Hubert prepared and signed his last Will and Testament. He chose his friend Walter Welch, to be the executor of the estate. He gave his wife their home and much of the personal estate, and named his only minor child, Thomas, and gave him all of the land which he was to receive when he came of age. Hubert assigned Walter Welch to be Thomas's guardian until he was of legal age. Hubert Petty's will was probated in Lancaster County, Virginia, on January 01, 1687.

Hubert had two wives that we know of... Rebecca who is named in a deed in about 1666 in Lancaster County, and Faith whom he named in his will in 1688. Thomas was born between those two dates. We don't know when Rebecca died and when Faith became Hubert's wife. But Thomas Petty named his first daughter Rebecca and never named a daughter Faith. Nor did any of Thomas' children name a daughter Faith, nor did any of his grandchildren use that name. But Rebecca is a name handed down in the family.

William T.Turner It is probable that William Turner knew Hubert Petty previously to bringing him to America. William Turner's family , along with a Thomas Turner was the branch of early settlers who originated from Hampshire England, and William's family settled in the sout portion f Maryland that became prominent. (Ref: (unsubstantiated: Elise Greenup Jordan, "Early Families of Southern Maryland, Vol 7," Westminister, MD: Wiillow Bend Books 1990) 160. William Turner Sr., died leaving a will in 1663., dated 11 June 1663 and probated 11 June 1663. He named his children: William (eldest son), Edward, Richard, and Jon. Son in law Stephen Clifton as co-executor with son William Turner. Grandson, William Clifton was also given lands and property. (Ref. Raymond B. Clark, Jr. and Sarah Seth Clark, Calvert Co., Mld Wills, 1654-1700 (St Michaels, MD 1974) 20, 72. A Year later, the will fo Dr. Stephen Clifton (Chirgion (sic)) of Calvert Co., Mld was probated. It was dated 24 Dec 1664, and probated three weeks later on 16 Jan 1664/5. He named his wife Jone, and son William Clifton. He appointed his brother Wm. Turner as an executor (it said overseer). This family died out. Wm Clifton was dead before 1679 , when his uncle William Turner petitioned the court for the 300 acres due to his sister's son William, who was deceased. Jone Turner was born ? in early 1630's, after her parents arrieved in America, she was not listed as being with her parents when they first arrived. Her husband, was listed as a surgeon as early as 1659, so her had an education as such.
------------------------------------------------ Hubert arrived in Maryland in 1650 with the above, William Turner. He was apparently single at that time. He went to Virginia after his indentureship ended after 1654, and worked as an overseer in Norfolk County, VA. Hubert appeared in Norfolk, Virginia in 1660, at which time he ws mentioned as an overseeer of an estate. We do not know at this point if he associated with other people from the old country, nor do we know if he had other children except for Thomas Patty (Petty). Hubert did not read or write, which can explain the different manners in which his name was spelled, as most documents were penned by a clerk or someone else, spelling it as it sounded.
Then he appeared in Lancaster County, Virginia, in 1666 when he and Rebecca were buying land from Abraham Bush. It was here in Lancaster that he had funds and goods for his own estate, which he kept until his death. What happened to Faith (2nd wife)? Hubert's will gave her the plantation, but then it was to go to Thomas when he came of age. Did she remarry? She doesn't appear to have gone with Thomas when he moved to Richmond County. Records do not reveal what happened to Faith. We feel Rebecca was the mothr of Thomas.
--------------------------------------------------- "Will of Walter Welch, Proved in Rappahannock Co. Virginia," 6 Nov 1689 (Rappahannock Wills p. 143-4). Names heirs as wife Jane Welch, and sons Richard Welch and Thomas Welch (both under age 18). "Virginia Co. Court Orders;" Order Book Abstracts of Lancaster Co. Va. 1666-1669 p81. (It is evident from this source that Martha, wife of Abraham Bush, was the daughter of John Wingate, and apparently his only living heir.) I am further intrigued by Richard Welch as a relative to Rebecca Petty. According to his will, Hubert Petty gave his carpenter tools for the purpose of making "Trayes". My family and I visited the area where Hubert and the Welches lived on Moratico Bay, which was then and is today, a fishing harbor. There were shells fom oysters and other hard shelled fish. A tray may have been a wooden box to catch shell fish in. Whatever it was, the will suggests that Walter Welch was to continue the business. Its just a speculation, by me, Barb McGee, but If Walter Welch were the father of Rebecca, Hubert may have joined his father in law's business. It would be natural then to turn son Thomas over to Walter Welch to be raised in his care, which Hubert's will specifies. And then as John Petty, mentioned in his note, Richard Welch was to get the estate if son Thomas Petty died unmarried. This is most interesting, because there is nothing here to indicate that Faith was going to have a continuing connection to the property. Instead, if Hubert's heirs died off then the business and property stays in the hands of Hubert's apparent business partner. Faith is only considered until the time when Thomas reaches the age of 21. Hubert confirms there is only one child at question here, named or unnamed. He left only enough property to Faith for the support of "two" people. Herself and Thomas Petty.

Hubert purchased land from Abraham Bush in Lancaster Co., Va. on 13 Sep 1665 "Abstracts of Lancaster Co. 1666-1669 p81." "It appeareing to this Cort.(sic),by the Oathes of Richard Welsh & Rebecca Patey, sworne in Cort., that John Wingate ,late, did by his Last will nuncupative give unto Martha, the Wife of Abraham Bush, his whole Estate, except his funerall charges, a probate whereof is granted unto ye said Abraham Bush.

Also will of Walter Welch, Proved in Rappahannock Co., 6 Nov 1689 (Rappahannock Wills p. 143-4). Names heirs as wife Jane Welch, and sons Richard Welch and Thomas Welch (both under age 18). Neither Rebecca Petty nor Faith Petty appear to be close relations to either of these men, so Welch must be a relative of Hubert . ------------------------------
Hubert Patey/Petty is the earliest Petty in Virginia on record. He first appears in Virginia's Lancaster County on Nov. 30, 1665, when he purchased 150 acres of land from Abraham Bush. Hubert was married twice; first to Rebecca ... and secondly to Faith. Hubert Patey died in the spring of 16S7, in Lancaster County.
(For additional information on Hubert Patey and his family, see The Petty Papers, Vol. 1, No. 2, pp. 22-26.) Petty papers are available from "Barb McGee"; Editor. The children of Hubert Patey/Petty and Rebecca were:
A. "Thomas Patey/Petty/Patty" (names spelled in documents in different way, but that was probably because others wrote it in documents, and so it was not consistant) was married about 1699/1700 in Richmond Co., VA to Catherine Garton, a daughter of John and Martha Garton. Thomas (who went by both Patty and Petty during his lifetime) remained in Richmond County for 35 years before moving westward with his family to Spotsylvania County and later into Orange County, Virginia, where he stayed until his death in the spring of 1750. He and his wife left six sons and three daughters. The descendanats of this family are found in nearly every state and make up what we believe are the largest of the Petty families in America.13Charles E. Askew, William Turner Son in law:history, letter, 8 Jul 2003.
Origin of William Turner who brought Hubert Petty to America may reveal at some time information about where the Petty's and Turners met in order to facilitate Huberts transportation to the colonies:.14Historical Notes:.

And then as John Petty, mentioned in his note, Richard Welch was to get the estate if son Thomas Petty died unmarried. This is most interesting, because there is nothing here to indicate that Faith was going to have a continuing connection to the property. Instead, if Hubert's heirs died off then the business and property stays in the hands of Hubert's apparent business partner. Faith is only considered until the time when Thomas reaches the age of 21. Hubert confirms there is only one child at question here, named or unnamed. He left only enough property to Faith for the support of "two" people. Herself and Thomas Petty.

Hubert purchased land from Abraham Bush in Lancaster Co., Va. on 13 Sep 1665 "Abstracts of Lancaster Co. 1666-1669 p81." "It appeareing to this Cort.(sic),by the Oathes of Richard Welsh & Rebecca Patey, sworne in Cort., that John Wingate ,late, did by his Last will nuncupative give unto Martha, the Wife of Abraham Bush, his whole Estate, except his funerall charges, a probate whereof is granted unto ye said Abraham Bush. Robert Farrington & Tho: Durannt are ordered to apprize ye sde Estate & to bee(sic) sworne by the nexte justice. The inventrie to be exhibited to ye next court." (as spelled) Richard Welch's (Welsh),Will
Probated 16 Dec 1691
Rappahannock Wills 1656-1692, p. 150:
Resident of Rappahannock Co., Virginia. Names his heirs as wife Margaret Welsh, son Thomas Welsh "in Ireland" and grandchildren Richard Welsh and Thomas Welsh (sons of Walter), and Walter Welsh (son of Thomas). Also will of Walter Welch, Proved in Rappahannock Co., 6 Nov 1689 (Rappahannock Wills p. 143-4). Names heirs as wife Jane Welch, and sons Richard Welch and Thomas Welch (both under age 18). Neither Rebecca Petty nor Faith Petty appear to be close relations to either of these men, so Welch must be a relative of Hubert . ------------------------------
Hubert Patey/Petty is the earliest Petty in Virginia on record. He first appears in Virginia's Lancaster County on Nov. 30, 1665, when he purchased 150 acres of land from Abraham Bush. Hubert was married twice; first to Rebecca ... and secondly to Faith. Hubert Patey died in the spring of 16S7, in Lancaster County.
(For additional information on Hubert Patey and his family, see The Petty Papers, Vol. 1, No. 2, pp. 22-26.) Petty papers are available from "Barb McGee"; Editor. The children of Hubert Patey/Petty and Rebecca were:
A. "Thomas Patey/Petty/Patty" (names spelled in documents in different way, but that was probably because others wrote it in documents, and so it was not consistant) was married about 1699/1700 in Richmond Co., VA to Catherine Garton, a daughter of John and Martha Garton. Thomas (who went by both Patty and Petty during his lifetime) remained in Richmond County for 35 years before moving westward with his family to Spotsylvania County and later into Orange County, Virginia, where he stayed until his death in the spring of 1750. He and his wife left six sons and three daughters. The descendanats of this family are found in nearly every state and make up what we believe are the largest of the Petty families in America.15Will.
