Individual Details
Walter "Walter Ashton" Aston II
(1606 - 6 Apr 1656)
Lt. Col. / House of Burgess/ Shirley Pl, Colonel, Lt. Colonel
From Virginia Historical Genealogies by John Bennett Boddie
WALTER ASTON was son of Walter Aston, gent., and hiswife, Joyce Nason of Longdon in Staffordshire. (Vis Longdon 1634) He is shown in the Visitation of London 1634 as being “now in the West Indies”. (W & MQ 4, p. 144) Virginia, in those days, was frequently referred to as the “West Indies”. From an inscription on his tomb in Westover, he was born in 1607, and died April 6 1656. The first record we find of Walter Aston is from the land grant records, where it is shown that he patented 590 acres of land as follows: “ Sir John Harvey to Walter Aston, 590 acres, July 26 1638, page 578. Gent. Charles City County between Sherly Hundred and land of Nathaniel Causey. Due to personal adv. Of himself wife Warbowe and ten other persons” (C.P. 93)
He further patented in 1646, 1040 acres, 200 of which acres he had formerly bought from John Causey Feb 7 1634. This John Causey was probably son of Nathaniel Causey, who had patented this land in 1620. Nathaniel Causey was an old soldier who came in the first supply in 1608.
Walter Aston’s first wife was named “Warbowe” and she, as shown by the above patents, came over with him. He married, secondly, Hannah Jordan (Major’s, p 27) who after his death married Col. Edward Hill.
Walter Aston represented Sherey Hundred Island in 1629-1930 in House of Burgesses. He represented Sherley Hundred, Mr Farrars and Chaplains in February 1631-1632; Charles City County in 1642-43. He was Jusice and also was Lieutenant-Colonel of Charles City County Militia. Captain Thomas Pawlett, in this will dated Jan 12, 1643-44, a brother of Marquis of Winchester, mentions Thomas Aston, his godson and his loving friend “Mr Walter Aston.” (W&M 4 p 152).
He was buried at Westover which afterwards passed into the hands of the Byrd family, and his tomb with the following inscription is still intact at Westover (W&M 4 P 144):
Here lyeth interred the body of Leftenant
Colonell Walter Aston who died the 6th

}'''[Lieut. Col.] Walter Aston''', Gent., merchant and planter, fourth son of [[Aston-204|Walter Aston]], Gent., of Longdon, Staffordshire, and [[Nason-322|Joyce Nason]], was born about 1607.Douglas Richardson. ''Magna Carta Ancestry: A Study in Colonial and Medieval Families'', 2nd ed., 4 vols., ed. Kimball G. Everingham, Salt Lake City, UT: the author, 2011, [https://books.google.com/books?id=8JcbV309c5UC&pg=PA62 vol. I, pages 62-63], ASTON 16.
===Immigration===:Walter immigrated to Virginia in 1627 aboard the ship ''James'', bringing with him foodstuffs and tobacco pipes. It is thought that his cousin, Sir [[Aston-423|Walter Aston]], Lord Aston,Tyler, L.G. "Old Tombstones in Charles City County", in ''The William and Mary Quarterly'', Vol. 4 #3 (Jan 1896).

===Property and Positions===:In 1628, Walter was granted a 590-acre patent for the "personal adventure"/transport of himself, his wife ("Warbowe") and ten others to Virginia.Boddie, John Bennett. ''Virginia Historical Genealogies''. (Redwood City, CA: Pacific Coast Publishers, 1954). Online at HathiTrust, [https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=wu.89062947908&view=1up&seq=294 page 274].

''Cavaliers and Pioneers'', Vol. I, (Richmond, VA: Press of the Dietz Print Co., 1934). Online at Archive.org, [https://archive.org/details/cavalierspioneer00nuge/page/93/mode/1up page 93]. (date in this book incorrect, should be 1628, not 1638) In 1641, he received an additional 250 acres in Charles City County as headright for transporting five people. Walter and his son Thomas were named in the will of Capt. [[Pawlett-15|Thomas Pawlett]], dated 12 January 1643/44, a brother of the Marquis of Winchester. On 12 August 1646, Walter patented 1,040 acres near Shirley Hundred, 200 acres of which were known as "Cawsey's Care".
:Walter served the colony as a justice of the peace in Charles City County, a lieutenant colonel of the militia, and sheriff. He was a burgess, being elected 1630 through 1633 and from 1641 to 1643 and possibly other terms (not all records of membership have survived). He was appointed by the Assembly as a tobacco inspector in 1639 and, in 1641, he was given a fourteen year monopoly to explore and trade in the "Unknowne land bearing west southerlye from Appomatock River".
===Marriages and Children===:Walter married first before 26 Jul 1628 (date of patent) to [[Unknown-503812|"Warbowe" -----]]. He married second to [[Jordan-806|Hannah -----]], whose surname has been given by some as Jordan, but no evidence exists to substantiate this claim. See notes [[#Research_Notes|below]] for more information on the names of his wives.
:From Walter's two marriages, he had two sons and three daughters:* [[Aston-200|Walter]], who sold some of his inheritance to his mother, after her remarriage. He was born about 1639 and died 29 January 1666/7, apparently unmarried.* [[Aston-199|Thomas]], living 1644, when he was mentioned as a god-child in the will of Capt. Thomas Pawlett.Tyler, Lyon G. “Title of Westover.” in ''The William and Mary Quarterly'', vol. 4, no. 3, 1896, pages 151–155. Online at [https://www.jstor.org/stable/1914946 JSTOR]. Accessed 25 Feb 2020.The will also mentions Mr Walter Aston (overseer) and Mrs Aston. Although Capt. Thomas Pawlett was correctly identified by Tyler, Boddie confuses him with Lord Thomas, a brother of [[Paulet-4|Sir John Paulet]], 5th Marquess of Winchester. But Lord Thomas was dead before 1621, and there were no aristocrats of that rank in the colonies. Thomas probably died without issue.* [[Aston-178|Susan]] (or Susannah), wife of Lieut. Col. [[Major-2041|Edward Major]] and [[Batte-22|William Batte]], Esq. Her will was dated 1662 in Nansemond.* [[Aston-10|Mary]], wife of Lieut. Col. [[Cocke-8|Richard Cocke]] and Lieut. Col. Daniel Clarke* [[Aston-198|Elizabeth]], wife of [[Binns-50|Thomas Binns]] and Col. [[Mason-3348|Francis Mason]]
===Death and Legacy===:Walter Aston died testate on 6 April 1656, aged 49 years, and was buried at Westover Church in Charles City County, Virginia, which afterwards passed into the hands of the Byrd family. His tomb with the following inscription is still intact at Westover:
Here Lyeth interred the body of Leftenant
Colonell Walter Aston who died the 6th
April 1656. He was aged
49 years and
lived in this country 28 years
Also here lyeth the Body of Walter Aston
the son of Leftenant Collonel Walter Aston
who departed his life ye 29th of Ianuari 1666
aged 27 years and 7 months.
:Walter left a widow, Hannah, who proved his will on 25 January 1656/7 in Charles City County. She married second to Col. Edward Hill, Esq., of Shirley, after 8 January 1660 (date of patent). Edward died about 1663 and Hannah was still living in 1666, when she was named a legatee in the will of her son Walter Aston, the younger, which was dated 21 December 1666.
==Research Notes==
===Disputed Birth===:No record of his birth, baptism or first marriage has been found in England. The Visitation is the principal basis on which he is identified, and the age given on his tombstone is the ground for giving his birthdate as "about 1607". This identification was challenged in an article by Paul C. Reed, which reported a record showing that Walter Aston of Longdon had died in England. It was later discovered that there were two men of that description, and a retraction was duly published. See Flank.
===Name of First Wife===:The name of Aston's wife, "Warbowe", or perhaps "Narbowe", has not been explained or even confirmed, as the Secretary's clerk would make out the patent from the details sent by the County clerk (which were not retained). An office copy would be made, probably by a more junior clerk. Much later, these office copies, on loose sheets, were copied into books, which Nugent worked from to compile ''Cavaliers and Pioneers''. After so many opportunities for misreading, it's not at all certain what the name of Aston's wife really was. Contrary to Boddie, it is not implied by the patent that she sailed with Aston, or even that he paid her fare: only that he had come into possession of the as-yet-unredeemed headright for her transportation. We aren't told what name she had when the headright was originally issued.
===Surname of Second Wife===:Cabell identified her as a Jordan, but his source is not indicated, and it seems distinctly possible that he might have confused her with somebody else. Boddie repeated what Cabell wrote, and now it will not lie down. See Richardson vol. I, page 63.
===Mother of Walter's Children===: The 21 December 1666 will of Walter Aston (the younger), names Hannah Hill as his mother. Assuming this is literally correct (i.e. he isn't calling his stepmother his "mother"), we can infer that she was also the mother of Thomas and (at least) any younger sisters (and possibly of all Walter (the elder's) children).

WALTER ASTON was son of Walter Aston, gent., and hiswife, Joyce Nason of Longdon in Staffordshire. (Vis Longdon 1634) He is shown in the Visitation of London 1634 as being “now in the West Indies”. (W & MQ 4, p. 144) Virginia, in those days, was frequently referred to as the “West Indies”. From an inscription on his tomb in Westover, he was born in 1607, and died April 6 1656. The first record we find of Walter Aston is from the land grant records, where it is shown that he patented 590 acres of land as follows: “ Sir John Harvey to Walter Aston, 590 acres, July 26 1638, page 578. Gent. Charles City County between Sherly Hundred and land of Nathaniel Causey. Due to personal adv. Of himself wife Warbowe and ten other persons” (C.P. 93)
He further patented in 1646, 1040 acres, 200 of which acres he had formerly bought from John Causey Feb 7 1634. This John Causey was probably son of Nathaniel Causey, who had patented this land in 1620. Nathaniel Causey was an old soldier who came in the first supply in 1608.
Walter Aston’s first wife was named “Warbowe” and she, as shown by the above patents, came over with him. He married, secondly, Hannah Jordan (Major’s, p 27) who after his death married Col. Edward Hill.
Walter Aston represented Sherey Hundred Island in 1629-1930 in House of Burgesses. He represented Sherley Hundred, Mr Farrars and Chaplains in February 1631-1632; Charles City County in 1642-43.
