Notes par Luke Boys

Emigrated to Virginia USA. Luke Boys, aged 44, arrived in the Edwine in May 1619 and Alice his wife, arrived in the Bona Nova in April 1622, (Bona Nova left London in 1618, arriving in Virginia, unknown date. The master was Captain John Huddleston. Coldham reports Bona Nova sent by the Virigina Company August 1619 with 120 persons) and Boys' servants Robert Hollam, aged 23 came in the Bonaventure, August 1620 and Joseph Royall, aged 22 in the Charitie, July, 1622.

Hannah Boys, daughter and heir of Luke Boyse, late of Henrico, decd., patented in Nov., 1635, 300 acres in Henrico adjoining land of her mother Alice Edlowe; due 50 acres for her personal adventure and 50 acres for the personal adventure of her father, and 200 acres for transportation of servants, viz.: Thomas Lewis, Robert Hollum, Joseph Royall, Edward Holland and Oliver Allen. (Virginia Magazine, V., p. 97).

A good report reached Jamestown on April 3, 1623: The Potomac Indians would return several captured colonists. They had returned Alice Boyse, "the chiefest prisoner," who was repeatedly petitioning the Assembly that a better interpreter than Robert Poole be engaged in order to effect releases.

Alice was acquainted with members of the House of Burgesses: Thomas Boys (one of several spellings) represented the "Neck of Land" in Charles City in 1619. In 1622, Alice and her husband, Luke Boise, were at the Neck of Land, just above Jamestown. In 1624, Luke, age 44, reported his arrival in 1619 on the ship Edwin. Alice had arrived in the colony on the Bona Nova in 1622.

Robert Hallom and Joseph Royall were listed as "servants" whose passage Luke Boyse had paid. The Halloms later owned Turkey Island, and the Royalls also acquired large plantations on the James River. Boyse was a signer, with distinguished colonists, of a petition to the king in 1624; in the 1625 census, he and Alice were still living at the Neck of Land.

On Jan. 11, 1627, Alice Boyce was granted administration of the estate of Luke Boyse, deceased. By 1629, she had married widower Matthew Edloe, who had large holdings in Henrico County. In a few years, Alice was again a widow and owner of much of the large Edloe estate at "Arrowhattocks." Records of Virginia land grants show her daughter Hannah Boyse, "daughter and heir of Luke Boice," was allowed 300 acres, in 1635, adjoining the property of her mother, Alice Edlow.

Another family member, Cheney Boyse, is listed at Neck of Land in Charles City County, age 26, with information that he came to the colony on the George in 1617. Early settlers who were in shipping, or could afford travel, crossed the Atlantic many times; records indicate that the 1617 trip was not the first for Cheney Boise.

In May 1636 (renewed in August 1637), a grant of 1,550 acres was issued to Cheney Boyce, in Charles City County, at the head of Powell's Creek near "the old towne" at Merchant's Hope, upon Lime Hill. Thomas Wheeler, brought over by Boise, patented 990 acres adjoining him in 1643.

By 1649, Boyce was deceased and the acreage passed to Richard Tye/Tyce who had married his widow. He also had land in Charles City County in Flowerdieu Hundred.

Christopher Boyse, born about 1598, was also a passenger
on the George in 1617. He was in London in 1635, his influence recognized when he was asked to act for several passengers bound for Virginia whose ship had been delayed for months. Boyse negotiated with the owner, Mr. John Thierry, and the shipmaster, Clement Campion.

Before 1635, Christopher Boyce owned a farm in Warwick County near Potash Quarter Creek and Deep Creek, "commonly known as Harwoods Neck." John Grinett became a neighbor in 1635 when he patented 150 acres near Deep Creek, adjacent to Thomas Ramshaw.

Christopher still owned this land in 1642 when Samuel Matthews acquired 3,000 acres south of Potash Quarter Creek. But in 1645, John Rode bought 1,000 acres at the head of Deep Creek, which had originally been granted to Christopher Boyce and sold by Boyse to William Edwards. Boyse retained some land in Warwick; n 1645, he had land adjacent to Talbot, John Phillips, and George Cookes.

In 1639, Christopher Boyse patented 300 acres on New Poquoson River by George Hadderill, and in 1642, he patented 2,000 acres on south side of the Peankatanke River. In 1651, he owned 1,250 acres in Northumberland County, on Chotank Creek, lands formerly patented by him but which had been given to Indians and now returned to him. In 1653, just two years before his death in 1655, Boyse acquired an additional 602 acres in Northumberland County. This tract was sold for debt to Robert Pyland, ordered in General Court Oct. 9, 1655.

The adventure of the Boyse family continued with a transfer of 650 acres south of the James River in Charles City County, to Thomas Boyce in 1650. This farm, adjoining John Coggin and Patrick Jackson, came to Thomas Boyse when he married Emilie, the granddaughter of Richard Craven.

John Pawlett, owner of Westover when he made his will in 1644, left a small legacy to "godchild," Thomas Boyse.

Estates of Boys/Boice/Boyce/Boy are recorded in Essex, Westmoreland, Halifax, Rappahannock, Hampshire, Lancaster, Sussex, and Nansemond counties.
