The Original Shire named Henrico County was established in 1634 in Virginia.  Later from the original shire of Henrico County was established Goochland in 1727, and Chesterfield County was created from Henrico in 1749. Both Henrico and Chesterfield Counties holds many of our TOTTY records.    According to the book Hotten's "Original Lists of Persons of Quality", Gen. Pub. Co., 1968,  the TOTTY family may likely have came to
American as early as 6 June 1635, on page 84,  it lists Thomas Tollie age 17 on the ship "Thomas and John" being transported to Virginia. On page 85 there is Thomas Toolie age 30, also on the "Thomas and John", now as
some of us know the name TOTTY has also been viewed as being of those spelling varients.

Unless otherwise noted the following records were extracted and submitted by TOTTY researcher Birdie (Totty) McNutt

Weisiger III ©1986,  p. 34] page 378  James FRANKLING of Bristol Parish, Henrico Co., for valuable consideration, to Thomas TOTTY and Robert MAN of same, 119 acres on north side of Swift Creek, lately patented by William GREENFIELD and by him transferred to me, the upper ½ to TOTTY, and lower ½ to MANN.  17 Nov 1685.

1690 April 2nd   Deed [Henrico County VA Deeds 1677-1705, Compiled by Benjamin B.

Notes:   According to this source, it was not stated where Thomas TOTTY was imported from. BUT importation, mean the act of bringing something or someone of importance from a foreign country.   This was a practice by the Virginian colonist's in order to receive land for bringing someone under the "headright system", even if the person was already previously living in Virginia and was just coming back from a foreign country visit.  Also note that Mary Franklin likely the wife of James FRANKLIN was imporated at same time that Thomas TOTTY was.  May likely have been travelling together as neighbors.


1691 August 25th   Court  [Magazine of Virginia Genealogy, Vol., 33, No. 1 308 Com: Hen: ci 25th die Aug:ti A:o Dom: 1691]    [p. 380]  Att an Orphans Court held at Varina for the County of Henrico the 25th day of Aug:ti by their Ma:ties Justices of ye peace for ye sd County A:o Dom: 1691 Aqo regni Regs et Reg nae Guil: mi et Mariae 3:d  Tho:  Totty having lately marryed the Relict & Widdow of Tho: Davis dec'd & possess'd himself of the estate altho noe Acc:t hath yett been given thereof to ye Court, that care may be takend to secure ye same for ye sd deced;ts  Orph:s he having been now dead above nine moneths;  It is therefore Order'd that ye sd Tho. Totty & his wife be sumon'd to ye next Court to give acc:t thereof.

1691 Dec. 1st  Inventory    [Henrico Co. VA Will Book #3 1688-1697 page 263]    Inventory of Thomas DAVIS appraised 28 Nov. 1691 by order of court Oct 1st last. Value 765 lbs tobacco By William DODSON, Francis MAYBERRY, George HUNT, and Henry VADEN.  Presented in court by Thomas TOTTY and his wife Mary TOTTY, late relict of Thomas DAVIS.  Recorded 1 Dec 1691.


1691 December  Court [Henrico County Records Book No. 2, 1678-1693 Com:  Hen:ci pro die Decemb.s A:o Dm 1691]   Tho: TOTTY & __________ his wife according to Order of the last Court prsenting the Inventory & Apprizemt of her former husband Thomas Davis's estate & it appearing to be under the value of an Admcon  It is therefore order'd that ye same doe remain in his Custody as Trustee thereof he giving security for ye same.  Geo: Hunt in Open Court enters himself security With Tho: TOTTY the Trustee for ye estate belonging to ye Orphs of Tho: Davis dec:d.
Notes: Why is George Hunt named as security with Thomas TOTTY regarding the estate of the Orphans of Thomas Davis? What tie did George Hunt have with Thomas TOTTY?  Could it have something to do with the widow Mary Davis who married Thomas TOTTY?   It has been thought by many TOTTY researchers, that Mary was nee Carter, daughter of Giles & Hannah CARTER who was named in his will as being married to Thomas DAVIS.  However some questions as to Mary being a Carter has been voiced due to her age.   ANY help on this puzzel would be greatly appreciated!


1691 December 1st  [Henrico County Colonial Records, Book 5, Page 263]   The Andrews family in America began with the birth in Great Britain of Thomas Andrews, Sr.  His arrival in the Colony of Virginia on Janurary 27, 1685 aboard the ship RICHARD and ELIZABETH, commanded by Captain Williams.  He was 22 years of age when he embarked to come to the Colonies. These facts are established by HENRICO COUNTY COLONIAL RECORDS, DECEMBER 1, 1691, Colonial Records Book 5, Page 263.     Recorded are three depositions presented in Court in a law suit of Bridgett Lugrove vs.  Major Thomas Chamberlain for release from Indenture as a servant to said Major Thomas Chamberlain.

FRANCIS EPES, 1790 acs. (N.L.), Henrico Co; on S. side of Swift Cr; beg. at James FRANKLING, Junr; on the Hunting Path, to a Wolf Pit; on Capt. [Thomas] Jefferson's line; to THO TOTTY's corner;
on John GILL's line; to W. side of Youl's branch; to Mr. John Archer, on Nottoway Run; on Col.

Notes:   The William LOFFTICE listed above may likely be the father of Elizabeth LOFFTICE the woman mentioned in the will of Thomas TOTTY, Jr. as living with him, most likely his wife.   It is nice to have documentation in History of our TOTTY ancestor's so closely associated to President Thomas Jefferson and his family who were adjacent neighbors according to land records.


1719 December  Court  [Henrico Co., Va Minuete Book 1719-1724]  December Court 1719 Mary HASTINGS granted administration of estates of John HASTINGS, dec'd;  Mr William KENNON, Security.  George Willson, William Worsham, George Archer and Richard Willson to inventory the estate.
Notes: BTM]  Tradition is that John Hastings was married to Mary WORSHAM.  How was the above William WORSHAM related to her? Why was William Kennon the Security, how was he related to her?   Who were her parents.  Need marriage record or Will of her parents to prove her parentage and surname.    Their son John HAESTIN/HASTINGS later had a daughter named Mary who married a TOTTY.    Question - Could the Widow of "1719", Mary WORSHAM HASTINGS, later have married to William TOTTY, Sr. ca 1720/1721??  bringing to the marriage step children George, Henry and John?   IF so, there would have been a very close relationship of the her son John to the TOTTY family of  William TOTTY. see also Chesterfield Co., VA


1720 March 6th  Estate Record [Colonial Wills Henrico Co., Va, Wills, Part Two 1737-1781, Abstracted & Compiled by Benjamin B. Weisiger III©1977,  p. 157]  p. 76  Joseph Granger granted administration of estate of William Gates, dec'd; Thomas Webster and John Gibbs, security  Thomas Bott, Sr., Samuel Newman, Thomas TOTTY and Peter Rowlett to appraise estate.


ca 1720  Marriage  William TOTTY, Sr.  to Mary Unknown,   research still in progress
Notes:   William is the son of Thomas TOTTY and Mary, widow of Thomas DAVIS.   We are still progress of identifying the maiden name of William's wife Mary.  Some researcher's claim that William TOTTY, Sr. born 1693 was married to Mary HAESTIN/HASTINGS born 1745, however this is NOT possible since she was born long AFTER the birth of William and Mary's children as documented in the Bristol Parish Records of Henrico.   Mary HASTINGS TOTTY was the daughter of John and Amy TUCKER HAESTIN-HASTINGS who were married in 1739.  Mary named in her father John HASTINGS will,  was likely to have married William TOTTY, Jr. who was born March 15, 1726/7   However we are still in the process of documenting which TOTTY she was actually married to.   see  above... and Amelia County, VA


ca 1720-1725  Birth  of Elizabeth  TOTTY,  Henrico County, Virginia;
Notes:   Elizabeth was the daughter of William and Mary TOTTY, Sr.  She may likely have been the Elizabeth who was marreid to Henry VADEN, Jr. that is mentioned in records with Thomas and his son William TOTTY, however this is still under research.  Any help on this family would be appreciated.


1725 December 1725 Birth  [Bristol Parish Records, Henrico County, VA]   The "first" William TOTTY son of William and Mary TOTTY was born on this day.
Notes:  Bristol Parish records show that William and Mary TOTTY had "two" son's born that were named William. One born Dec 5th 1725 bap May 30, 1726.    This William must have died aft May 30, 1726 and before 1727 when the second son William was born to William and Mary TOTTY on 15th March 1727 and bap. 3rd June 1727.  This is William TOTTY, "Jr?", son of William TOTTY born ca 1693.      One error in the book "TOTTY & TOTTY TIES", is shown by these records in Bristol Parish, as Alma Totty Seitz states William Jr was born Dec. 25, 1725 when in fact that "first" William TOTTY was deceased prior to March 1727.


1726 May 30th   Baptism  [Bristol Parish Records, Henrico Co., VA] of The "first" William TOTTY son of William and Mary TOTTY.

1727 ca December  Birth of Francis TOTTY, Bristol Parish, Henrico County, Virginia

Declaration for Pension;
Early in the month of April in the year 1781, as well as this declarant now recollects, having been regularly drafted, he entered the service of the United States in the Revolutionary War, in the Company of militia commanded by Captain Benjamin WARD, belonging to Colonel Robert GOODE's Regiment, in the County of Chesterfield; marched directly to Petersburg, and was put
under the command either of General Mehlenberg or Baron Steuben, and stationed at that place, about the last of April.  The American troops having withdrawn from this station at Petersburg after the attack made upon them by the British forces, this declarant, with the company and Regiment before mentioned, marched through the County of Chesterfield by the Court
House of that County, (which was burnt afterwardsd by a passing detachment of the British Army) crossed James River at or near Tuckahoe, marched thence down to Wilton just below Richmond, and was tehn put under the command of General LAFAYETTE.  At this place most of the Chesterfield militia were discharged; but this declarant, with others, was detached from Captain WARD's company and attached to the company to militia commanded by Captain David PATTERSON and to the Regiment commanded by Colonel H. George TUCKER, and continued in the service until after the capture of the British
Army at York Town; during this time the company and the Regiment to which he belonged were marched about a good deal betwen James and York Rivers without being stationed long at any particular place, were in the neighborhood of Old James Town at the time of a skirmish then between the British Troops under CORNWALLIS and the Americans, were afterwards
stationed a while at Williamsburg, where they were transferred to York Town and attached to the main Army under the command of General (George) WASHINGTON, which was then inviting the British Army at that place; where this declarant remained until the surrender of CORNWALLIS, on the 19th of October 1781, was discharged at that place about a week after that event, and got home to Chesterfield about the first of November, having served, he thinks not less than six months and half.
This Declarant entered the service early in the month of April 1781, being called out at the time of Arnold's second invasion of this part of Virginia, and continued in the service without intermission until after CORNWALLIS' surrender at York Town the 19th of October following.  He recollects no Regular Officers or troop units thaose already mentioned, except that he was well acquainted and served with Captain David MANN at York Town, who commanded a company of artilery, he thinks, during the seige.  That he received a winter discharge from the Army, but does not now recollect by whom it was signed and not careful to preserve it, and does not know whether it is now in existence.  That he was born in the County of Chesterfield in the State of Virginia, the 16th of September 1764, according to a Register of his age made by his father in an old book, now in his possession, resided in that county at the time he was called into the service, and afterward until about ninteen years ago, when he moved ot the city of Richmond where he has resided ever since, with the exception of two years of that he resoded about twelve miles from that city in the countyof Henrico.  Having been raised in the county of Chesterfield and called into service in that County, and having resided there the greater part of his life, and the proof and reputation of his service being in that county, he has made his declaration before that Court, instead of in Richmond, the place of his present resident.
