Andrew Hampton Ancestry

Probable Ancestry of Andrew Hampton, b. 1780

Much of the information on these lines comes from LDS International Genealogical Index and various websites. It has not been verified.

It appears that the Scottish Hamptons may have been among the English artisans and trades people encouraged to settle in Scotland's royal boroughs, beginning in the early 12th century. Hampton is an English name, but by the 1600's, there were Hamptones, Hamptons or Hamtons in several Scottish locales, the largest concentration being in Angus and Kincardine, South and West of Aberdeen.

Generation No. 1

Any proof that John and Andrew were both sons of John Hampton and Jennet or is it just speculation? Were they really brothers and what was their parentage? And who is the James Hampton of Southampton, LI in 1652 who was first at Salem, MA? According to The History of Elizabeth, New Jersey; "At Elizabeth, New Jersey April 12, 1688 when he administered an estate. Tradition (not very good authority) says that he was a tailor, and eloped from Scotland with Lady Margaret Cummin. Nowhere in the Records has she this honorable prefix. It is much more probable, that he came here from the old hive-Southampton, L.I. James Hampton of Salem, MA, removed to Southampton, as early as 1652, living at the N. end of Main st., near the Bridgehampton road, next to Robert Woolley (afterward of Elizabeth Town) and near Thomas Sayre, in a house bought of Wm. Barnes. Andrew was, probably his son, and therefore, named one of his own sons James."

A "Jhone Hamptone" was christened 1 October 1643, in the parish of Kineff south of Aberdeen. Kinneff is about ½ mile West of the North Sea coast and is currently called "Roadside of Kinneff." Jhone was the son of "Andre (or Andro) Hamptone " and "Ketterine Scherreff."
Kineff and Catterline are close to some of the Clan Kieth lands. George Keith, a fellow Quaker and Surveyor General of East Jersey, was immigrant John Hampton's friend in America. Most of the few Quakers in Scotland were converted to that belief by a scattering of Quakers among Oliver Cromwell's soldiers. A large contingent of Cromwell's troops was in Kineff and Catterline for eight months in 1651 and 1652, besieging Donnatter Castle.
One Caleb Sherife owned property adjacent to John Hampton's land in Freehold, NJ - thus offering the possibility of a family connection between John Hampton's family and the Scherreff (Sheriffe) family.
Furthermore, the Quaker settlement in East Jersey, to which John immigrated, was
known as "New Aberdeen."

Generation No. 2

2. JOHN2 HAMPTON (JOHN1?) was born Bet. 1640 - 1643 in Elphingstoun, East Lothian County, Scotland, and died January 23, 1702/03 of Middletown, Freehold, Monmouth County, New Jersey. He married (1) ?. He married (2) KATHERINE CLOUDSLEY December 07, 1675 in Drumbouy, Scotland - at home of Alexander Hamilton in Drumbuy. He married (3) MARTHA BROWN March 03, 1686/87 in Shrewsbury, New Jersey, daughter of ABRAHAM BROWN and MARY POTTER. She was born Abt. 1645 in Mansfield, Burlington, New Jersey, of Shrewsbury, and died Abt. 1697 in New Jersey. He married (4) JEAN CURTIS Abt. 1692 in Woodbridge, Middlesex Co., New Jersey, daughter of THOMAS CURTIS and JANE. She was born February 11, 1660/61 in Bugbrooke, Northamptonshire, England, and died 1731 in of Freehold, New Jersey. His will probated 26 February 1702/3 in Freehold, Monmouth County, Province of New Jersey.

This John Hampton shows in the Scottish Quaker 'Record Book of Friends Att Urie', at page 93 as having affiliated with the Quaker movement in Scotland in January 1669. In Scotland Quaker Records, John Hampton m. December 7, 1675 in the home of Alexander Hamilton of Drumbouy to Katherine Cloudsley.
"John Hampton came to East New Jersey with five children and wife in December 1683, aboard the ship Exchange, from Elphingstoun, East Lothian County, Scotland. East Lothian is SE of Edinburgh and had the ancient name of Haddingtonshire.
He was a party to a venture sponsored by absentee Scottish proprietors to establish a "New Scotland" in America. Robert Barclay of Urie, Scotland was the prime mover of this venture, and his Diary for September 1682 shows, "The Proprietors of East Jersey would have me a partner with them and did choose me their governor." Barclay would not have to leave Scotland to serve as the first governor of East Jersey. Robert Barclay was a close friend of William Penn, and on 23 September 1682, he purchased one-half of Penn's share of East Jersey. Penn had eleven partners who each sold one-half of their original share, making then twenty-four partners, or Proprietors. John Hampton and John Reid had been selected in Scotland as joint overseers of the venture in America. Both were of the Quaker persuasion on their arrival, Reid would later affiliate with the English Church and be designated as Surveyor General of East Jersey the same year in 1704.
John Reid's account of the voyage on the Exchange has survived. The ship was from Stockton and James Peacock was the Master for the 1683 voyage. The voyage began at
Leith on August 10, 1683, sailed to Aberdeen to take on additional passengers and supplies, then sailed on August 28 to reach Staten Island on December 19. The exact number of passengers on the Exchange for this voyage is not known, Reid did petition in December 1686 on behalf of the Scotish Proprietors, to the Perth Amboy Board of
Proprietors, for the headlands in East Jersey for 47 servants imported in December
1683. The local board, "by warrant granted the same to be surveyed where
desired." The Exchange was lost at sea after returning to Scotland from the 1683 voyage. Agreement was stated for the Overseers of the Quaker Movement, John Reid and John Hampton, "to have 25 lbs English Yearlie, and for the first year each a share of ten acres in Amboy Point which being accoumpted at 5 lb a piece with 10 lbs of money they received in Scotland before they went away, completing their first years payment." An accounting for the absentee proprietors done a few months after the arrival in 1683 showed John Hampton with 9 cows, 6 oxen, 2 horses and 1 mare, 2 breeding sows, 144.6.11 pounds in provisions, untensils, and necessaries. John Marsh had in hand 35.10.9 pounds for building John Hampton's house.
By January 8, 1685/6, John Hampton shows with patent for 164 acres from William Haige, Surveyor General. The land was on Navesink River near Cesaquakes, today the site of a state park. Haig had been registered in East Jersey as a new immigrant at the same time Hampton had.
In July 1686, John Hampton petitions for his 175 acres of headlands, for himself, wife and five children. Children shown with him on arrival in December 1683 were Jannet, Elizabeth, Lydia, John and David.
One witness to the 1687 wedding at Shrewsbury of John Hampton and Martha Brown was George Keith (1638-1716), who had studied to be a Presbyterian minister in Aberdeen, Scotland, but became a Quaker in 1662. He came to America in 1684 and was Surveyor General of New Jersey until 1689 when he went to Philadelphia to be principal of Penn's Quaker School. On October 25, 1693 Hampton buys 500 acres from Keith of Philadelphia, land on the Burlington Path and adjoining land of Robert Barclay, Proprietor.
In 1696 he sold the 500 acres purchased 3 years earlier from Quaker Keith, to one Benjamin Borden of Freehold, Monmouth County.
In the period prior to 1698, John Hampton married a third time, this time to a widow Jean Curtis Osborn, born in England in 1661.
1698, May 12, John Hampton, of Freehold, and wife Jane, sold a house, in Burlington, late in the tenure of Samuel Ogborne, former husband of Jane Hampton, to John Borradaill, of Burlington.
Whether Keith converted any of the children of his old friend and supporter John
Hampton in Freehold isn't evident. He does mention Freehold conversions of some young people. There is evidence that John Hampton's eldest daughter Jannet Ray (Rhea) who had married Robert Ray in 1689 in the Shrewsbury Quaker Meeting, was active in the activation of the old Tennent Church where she was cited as a woman of, "strong mind and scriptural application," and a communion member of Old Tennent. Her son David Ray was an elder in 1745, and in her will of 1761, she provides for the pastor William Tennent and for the Church.

JEAN CURTIS: She was left in possession of John's land until her death or remarriage and she didn't remarry until 1706. She was the daughter of Thomas and the wife of Samuel Ogborne. This original Quaker record of Bugbrooke, Northamptonshire shows her birth on February 11, 1661, and the two sisters who accompanied her to New Jersey. The Northamptonshire area was the cradle of Quakerism in England from its origins in the 1640s.Samuel married Jane Curtis, an English Quaker emigrant, in 1684 and Jane's Quaker origins are well documented.
She came with her parents to Springfield Township, Burlington County, NJ by 1685.

vii. ANDREW3 HAMPTON, b. Abt. 1688, Freehold, Monmouth County, New Jersey; d. 1725, Cecil Co., Maryland; m. SUSANNAH. He was a minor in 1702, and by some accounts was then on a tract near Freneau. On 24 May 1712, the Baptist Church Records of Middletowne, Monmouth County, New Jersey, show Andrew Hampton as one of 26 persons accepting the new Baptist doctrine, with some specific reservations. Andrew & wife Susannah sold his inherited land in NJ - March 31, 1716. The latest record on this Andrew Hampton in Middletown shows as 1716 in the estate settlement of Edward Highbee. This may be the Andrew Hampton who died in Cecil County, Maryland in 1725, without will, wife Susannah. Cecil County. Maryland records show for May 4, 1725, one Andrew Hampton, was deceased without will and his widow Susannah renounced her rights to administer the estate of her deceased husband.
viii. JONATHAN HAMPTON, b. Abt. 1690, Freehold, Monmouth County, New Jersey; d. 1744, New Jersey. He was a minor in 1702.

3. ANDREW2 HAMPTON (JOHN1?) was born 1640, of Wallyford, Scotland, and died January 30, 1737/38 in Essex Co., New Jersey. Some show him as possible son of James Hampton and Margaret Narine baptised July 23, 1659 at Arbuthnott, Kincardine, Scotland. In Scotland, April 7, 1683, Andrew Hampton, tailor, in a Quaker ceremony had married MARGARET CUMINE, daughter of THOMAS CUMINE of Prestonpans, in the home of Andrew Fisher, West Port Edinburgh. John Hampton's signature is on the Quaker marriage record of Andrew. On the same date in Quaker Records, the marriage of one George Cuming to Margaret Birnice shows also. The 1715-16 New Jersey will of one David Commin, mentions David Hampton son of David Hampton deceased; and Isabell & George, children of John Hampton (b. 1681). John Hampton was one Executor of this will of David Commin. Andrew and Margaret were among the families who came with John to East Jersey aboard the Exchange in 1683.
A brother (?) of the John Hampton of Elphingstoun, Andrew Hampton got his headland for himself and wife, in 1688, 'adjoining to the Scotch Proprietor's servants head land," at Blew Hills. Lathrop in her, "Historic Houses of Early America," cites the tradition that this elder Andrew Hampton eloped from Scotland with Lady Margaret Cummins, but no evidence has been seen to support this tradition. He built a brick house on the site of the present parsonage of St. John's church in Elizabeth. A portion of the original house still remains, in which is seen the old corner stone, inscribed with name and date--["1697--Andrew Hamton and Margret"], and a smaller stone "A 1696 M".
Lathrop mentions a house on Pearl Street in Elizabeth, New Jersey, built in 1696/7 by Andrew Hampton and his wife Margaret Cummins. Earlier mention was made of the Quaker George Keith, friend of John Hampton, who sold land to Hampton when he went to Philadelphia to teach for William Penn. Keith developed convictions that were not compatable with the Quaker pursuasion, left Pennsylvania and returned to London where he was ordained in the Church of England in 1700. Keith with his newly acquired anti-Quaker zeal was selected to do missionary work with the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Ports, and in the period 1702-4 was back in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, where by his accounts he converted some 800 people from the Quakers. By 1705, he was back in England where he became Rector in Sussex. Keith's records for 4 November 1703 in New Jersey show, "November 4, I Baptized the Children of Andrew Hemton, eight in Number; He and his Wife are come over from Quakerism to the Church.". Some of this line of Andrew Hampton were still affiliated with the Quaker persuasion at later dates.
He was appointed, Dec. 1, 1698, with Mr. Harriman, a Deputy to the Legislature. His name is found among the Memorialists of 1700, and among the Associates of that year, but not among those of 1729.
Andrew Hampton, was a quaker of wealth and prominence in Elizabeth, as early as 1688.
This elder Andrew left a will in 1738 in Elizabeth Town, county of Essex, Province of East New Jersey, in which he mentions wife Margaret and the utensils and other things, "which my said wife brought to me at marriage." Children named in the will were John, Andrew, Margaret Hampton, Johannah, Lambert, Elizabeth Oliver, grandson Jonathan Hampton, son of James deceased, grandson Isaac Terrill, son of Mary deceased; and the eldest son Thomas got only 20 shillings.

Generation No. 3

4. JANNET3 HAMPTON (JOHN2, JOHN1) was born Abt. 1668, and died January 15, 1761 in New Jersey - age 93.

Child of JANNET HAMPTON and ROBERT RAY is:
i. DAVID4 RAY.

5. JOHN3 HAMPTON (JOHN2, JOHN1) was born September 06, 1681, and died of Orange Co., Virginia. John Hampton, son of John the immigrant, distributed his father's land to his brothers in 1705. The significance of that year is uncertain. It was the year David, the next oldest brother turned 21. Governor Spotswood in 1716 rode out from Williamsburg to the Shenandoah Valley with his Knights of the Golden Horseshoe, thereafter the area became attractive for settlement as word was circulated to all parts of the bountiful lands.
Many settlers from Pennsylvania, Maryland and New Jersey were the first contingents to arrive around the 1730's in VA. Early Orange County records show the presence of John Hampton, son of John the immigrant and John Jr. - son of that John, Noah Hampton, Henry Hampton (relationship unknown) and others in the northern end of the Shenandoah Valley. Henry Hampton was a son in law of Peter Wolfe, an associate of Jost Hite, who came into the Valley from Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania in the fall of 1731. Hite had sold his mill in Pennsylvania and bought a small number of families with him to Virginia.
Andrew Hampton, Benjamin Borden and David Griffith show as joint patentees on the Bullskin Run on 3 October 1734, north of Winchester near Summit Point, West Virginia. John the Elder in a gift deed of 1747 named sons George and Thomas Hampton; John Jr. in his Frederick County, Virginia will of 1751 named a brother Thomas, and sons John, Andrew, David and William (a minor). Old Noah Hampton shows in Hampshire County with 900 acres up until 1761. From the Valley these Hampton's went west to Kentucky, Tennessee and all parts, some
direct and some the low route through the Yadkin Valley." David left his will in 1710, in Freehold, Monmouth County, New Jersey naming wife Mary, son George under 15; and subsequent records suggest a child David was born after his death. Wife Mary and brother John Hampton, b. 1681 and George Commen (Cummin) were Executors. John took 'oath' as Executor, suggesting he had left the Quakers. The 1711-12 will of one George Cummin mentions his children David, Margaret, Mary & Christian and son-in-law John Hampton as one of the Executors. The 1715-16 New Jersey will of one David Commin, mentions David Hampton son of David Hampton deceased; and Isabell & George, children of John Hampton, b.1681.
