"Colonel Thomas Ligon, the founder of the Ligon family in the New World, accepted his portion of his
father's estate in England and came to Jamestown in 1641, with his near kinsman, Sir William Berkeley,
Royal Governor of Virginia.
He had full knowledge of the history of the illustrious family from which he descended, and evidently realized
that his success or failure in life in the new surroundings depended entirely upon his own efforts and ability
to win in the face of adverse conditions....From a standpoint of hardship and deprivation in an effort toward
colonization, the history of this peiorid has been handed down as not being equalled at any time, in any other
part of the world."

The fact that young Thomas was a cousin both to the Lord Berkeley and to Governor (Sir) William Berkeley
[Margery (Lygon) Berkeley, the Governor's paternal grandmother was the eldest daughter of William and
Eleanor (Dennis) Lygon] go far to explain the patronage which brought him to Virginia.

"He was a Lieut. Colonel in the Indian Wars. On April 18, 1644, the Indians made a sudden attack upon the
settlements in VA, and massacred about 300 of the colonists before they were repulsed. While this furious
attack was in progress, Col. Thomas Ligon who happended to be passing at the moment the residence of
Dr. John Woodson, helped Sara Woodson defend her home against the Indians. The only weapon they had was an
old gun which Col. Ligon handled with deadly effect.
At the first fire he killed 3 Indians, and two at the second shot. The holwing mob on the outside took fright
and fled but Col Ligon fired the third time and killed two more, making seven in all. The old gun which
rendered such valuable service on that dreadful day, was made in England and is now in the possession of the
Virginia Historical Society. "

7. Adria GURGANY was born about 1598. She died before 11 Sep 1626 in Henrico Co VA.
It is known that she died before that date because on 9/11/1626 a general court held that
"Rebecka Graye sware and examineth, sayeth that ye good wife Wright did tell this deponent
that she told Thomas Harris he should bury his first wife being then bethrothed unto him, which
came to pass."
Prophecy in those days if fullfilled usualy resulted in a complaint for witchcraft.
She is listed as being an ancient planter on land grant records which means that she arrived before April 1616.
She was not listed among the maids when returning on the Marmeluke (Marmaduke) in Nov. 1621 from a visit in England
where she probably left her oldest children due to the hardships in Virginia.
She is listed in 1638 by Tho Harris, Capt ( her husband) Henrico Co.
This must be a second return trip from England. This is a contradiction since she supposedly died in 1629 or so.
