Notes for WILLIAM CLAIBORNE:

WILLIAM CLAIBORNE (Baptized 10 August 1600, died about 1677/78), was the second son of THOMAS CLEYBORNE (CLAYBORNE) and SARAH SMITH JAMES his wife of the Parish of Crayford, County Kent, England and graandson of THOMAS CLEYBORNE, the Elder, of the Parish of St. Margaret, King's Lynn, Norfolk, was admitted to Pembroke College, 31 May 1617. Four years later, 133 June 1621, he was chosen by the Virginia Company to undertake the task of Surveyor in the Colony and cretain terms were agreed uppon. As part compensatioon to the young man, the Company assigned him 200 acres of land of "olde adventure". Claiborne was of the party of the newly appointed Govenor Sir Frances Wyatt, which arrived at Jaamestown, October 1621, and one of his earlier tasks was the laying out of the area on Jamestown Island known ass New Towne.

CLAIBORNE was appointed to the Council, 30 March 1623, and reappointed by the King, 26 August 1624, served as Secretary of the Colony, 1625-1635, 1652-1660 ans as Treasurer, 1642-1660. His land of record in the 1626 list included: 250 acres at Archer's Hope (James city) ; 500 acres at Blout Point (Warwick) and 150 acres at Elizabeth City. Amoung the large tracks which he subsequentlyy patented were: 5,000 acres between the Great Wicomoco and the Little Wicomoco in Northumberland County, 5 January 1651: 5,000 acres on the North side of the Pamunkey in the narrows "westerly where CLAIBORNE landed the army under his command, 1644, granted 1 September 1653 and 1,600 acres of marsh and sunken land on the north side of the York River (in the area later King Wiliam County)" adjorning his plantation, a dividend of "Ramongack" (Romancoke). 24 December 1657.

On 16 May 1631, King Charles I granted to CLIABORNE and his associates a licensee to trade for corn, furs or any other commodities "in those parts of America for which there is not already a patent granted to others for the sole trade". The following August, CLAIBORNE, backed by associates in England, William Clobery, John De la Barrre and David Morehead, settled the Isle of Kent in the Chesapeake Bay as a post for this trading enterprise and after purchasing the territory from the Indians, gave the name of his native "Crawford" to his plantation there. Aconflict in the claims to the Island arose after Lord Baltimore had been granted a charter, 20 June 1632, "for the land not cultivated nor planted" and although the King subsequently ordered that the Isle of Kent should not be included in the Maryland patent, the Calverts persisted, using both violence and ruse. Virgina's unpopular Govenor Harvey, later expelled from the colony, failed to support CLAIBORNE and Virginia's prior right, and the Island was brought to submission by the Calvert agent after CLAIBORNE had embarked for England to see to his interests there. Although CLAIBORNE never regained Kent Island, due to perhaps in part to the political situatioon in England, he had his opportunity for revenge when with Richard Bennett he was appointed Parliamentary Commisioner, 1652, to bring about the reduction Virginia and Maryland by the Commonwealth of England, folowing the execution of Charles I. However, the repossesion of Kent Island remained his cherished ambition too the end, for the last record of him " in his ripe old age" is a petition to the King, March 1676/77 " for the restitution of his properties on the Isle".

WILLIAM CLAIBORNE married about 1635 Elizabeth Boteler (Butler), sister of John Boteler, an associate of CLAIBORNE on the Kent Island, and daughter of John and Jane (Elliott)Boteler of the Parish of Roxwell, County Essex, Enf=gland. As the "wife of WILLIAM CLAIBORNE, treasurer of the Colony", Elizabeth Claiborne patented 700 acres in Elizabeth City county, 26 November 1647, the patent reciting that the land was made oveer to her by her husband "in nature and in liue of a jointure", 11 June 1644. The last record of her, 1 March 1668, is in power of attorney for conveyance of land, given by her to "my don Captain William Claiborne, Junior". Of New Kent County.
