John Dandridge

Notes:

[Broderbund WFT Vol. 7, Ed. 1, Tree #3244]

According to the William & Mary College Quarterly, Vol V, John "matriculated at New College, May 13, 1696, became M.A., 1702, and vicar of Weston Beggard, Co. Hereford, in 1705."

In the same issue is a section "Note By The Editor - The family account of Mrs. L. A. Page, wife of Mann Page, of Greenland, Gloucester County, VA, has the following statement, which seems to confirm the belief that the emigrants, William and John Dandridge, were brothers:

'Mamma's Grandfather Langbourn emigrated to this country with his uncles, the Dandridges, leaving a sister, Mary Langbourn, living in the city of London. He married, as I have already stated, a Miss [Susanna] Smith, of Shooter's Hill, Middlesex county. His wife & himself both died when their two children were quite young. William remained with his Dandridge relations, & Mary lived with her Aunt Throckmorton, whose son she married.

William entered the Rev. army when quite a youth, & acted as aide to La Fayette to whom he became quite attached, & afterwards visited him in France. He was very much attached to his Dandridge relations, having been brought up among them, particularly to his Cousin Martha Dandridge, afterwards Mrs. Washington, & to another cousin, Mrs. Dandridge Claiborne, he formed an early romantic attachment, & whose daughter Elizabeth he subsequently married.

The tombstone of the first William Langbourn, at his place in King Wm. Co., on the Pamunky River, states that he was the son of Robert and Mary Langbourn, of Fetter Lane, London, and it bears the Langbourn arms impaling Dandridge. The end of the note says to see the Quarterly IV, 166 & 184.
