Notes for WILLIAM SIZEMORE:

May also have been named William Ephraim Sizemore, a typical Jewish double name. How related to William "the Emigrant" Sizemore ca. 1685 or William and Martha Sizemore in 1623 Virginia list or Sizemore listed among Barbados settlers unknown. May have been first Native American in line, accounting for Q lineage of all descendants (probably not -- see under Henry Sizemore).

From Alan Lerwick: his name was William Sizemore. From book - "Complete Book of Emigrants 1661-1699"

28 Sep 1685 apprenticed in London: William Sismore, son of Michael Sismore of London, dec'd, to Francis & Elizabeth Weeks for 9 years in Virginia. William Sismore chr. 10 Mar 1670 London, London Co, England

son of: Michael & Martha Sismore

In the land records of Halifax Co, VA appears these records:

1755 Thomas Ornsby enters 400 acres adjoining William & Margery Sizemore and Robert Barret's line.

1756 John Cook enters 400 acres beginning at Margery Sizemore's line thence including vacant land between lines of Richard Cook, James Mitchell & James Hunt on the draughts of Wynne's Creek

It appears that William Sizemore died abt 1755 Halifax Co, VA.

Since he and Margery were married abt 1692 Henrico Co, VA (and he was likely about 23 when they married) that William was about 86 when he died.

Margery appears as a witness to a Will in Henrico Co, VA in 1712.
