Notes par John Echols

[Lila Garner]

John ECHOLS was probably born about 1650, some believe at Wilmslow in Cheshire, England.  According to Milner Echols[1] who wrote about him in 1850, he probably came from England,
“…to America about the end of the 16th or the beginning of the 17th Century and Settled in Caroline County Verginia and married a tall Redheaded woman named Mary Cave-& by her had 5 Sons & 3 Daughters…”.
He meant to say the end of the 1600s or the beginning of the 1700s, of course, because John is believed to have been in Virginia when his daughter Eleanor was born about 1690.
There is evidence that a John Ecles immigrated to Virginia in 1635 at the age of sixteen.  This man would be the perfect age to be the father of our John, but the facts, as Milner Echols states them, don’t add up if our John was indeed the immigrant.
Before ending his 14 June 1850 dissertation, Milner sets the record straight on this item:
“I onst wrote a short account of the family for John Glover Crane of Charleston & one for James M. Reeves in which I stated, that Old English John Echols- married Betsy Holcomb, but upon a further Examination I find that he married Mary Cave, and that my Greate Grandfather Walter Evans married Betsy Holcomb.”
Milner doesn’t mention what he examined further, but he may have made some kind of chart or outline of the family to which he referred when writing; perhaps he updated this as he thought of additional facts.  A few words of explanation, apparently written by Mary V. (Mrs. Rex C.) Outlaw but undated on the copy I possess, tell about Milner’s story, which runs to ten typed pages:
“‘The Short History Of Our Family’ written by Milner Echols was brought to Texas after the Civil War, probably by Thomas Jefferson Echols, son of Robert Milner Echols of Walton Co., Georgia, and Grandson of Milner Echols who signed the history in 1850.  The original is in the possession of Mrs. Eva Echols Kelley of Breckenridge Texas.  The copy of this history…has been kept as nearly exact to the original as is possible in transposing from script into type.…
“The name ECHOLS has had various spelling; Eckles, Eckols and Eckels.”
There are many other variations for spelling the name, and some researchers believe that the name Exoll found in New Kent, County, Virginia records prior to the 1690s, refer to John Echols.  The two early Virginia land grants below, called ‘patents’ use the ‘Eckholls’ spelling, which makes the name look as if it might be German:
“Virginia Patent to Samuel Craddock, John Cave, John Eckholls and William Glover
“To all etc. Whereas etc.  Now know yee that I the said ffrancis[2] Nicholson Esq. Gov.

Here we see John Echols and John Cave as cooperating neighbors, so it is not surprising that Echols had married a Cave girl-but circumstantial evidence, not proof, link Mary Cave, or Sarah Cave as her name is believed to be in spite of Milner’s statement, to John Cave.
John Echols and his wife had eight known children, five sons and three daughters according to Milner Echols.
Descendants who have researched the family have looked in vain for John Echols’ will or other estate papers.
John is thought to have been a farmer, and to have died about 1712. He is doubtless buried near his old home in Virginia.  He lived in King and Queen County, but the place where he lived is believed to have become part of Caroline County when the division was made in 1728.
Parents have not been identified.
