Jekyll descendants in North America?

Legg inn av John Brandon » 07 aug 2006 21:35:01

Several years ago, I noticed the following on A2A, from the "Brookmans
Park Estate and Gaussen Family" collection:

FILE - Lease and release - ref. DEGA/23936-23937 - date: 8, 9 Aug
1753
hit[from Scope and Content] By Thomas Jekyll of Chiswick, co.
Middx, esquire, brother and heir of Mary Saltonstall, formerly Mary
Jekyll, spinster, deceased, Edward Jekyll of Haverford West, co.
Pembroke, esquire, Richard Blackett Jekyll of Dallington, co.
Northampton, clerk, William Beauchamp Rye of Culworth, co. Northampton,
esquire, and Hannah his wife, formerly Hannah Jekyll, (which Thomas,
Edward, Richard, Hannah and Mary were five of the children of John
Jekyll late of New England, deceased, and some of the devisees of the
estate of the Rt. Hon. Sir Joseph Jekyll, late Master of the Rolls,
decd), Nicholas Roberts of Hexham, co. Northumberland, esquire, and
Katherine his wife, Thomas Hester of London, gentleman, Samuel Baldwin
of St. Paul's, Covent Garden, gentleman, and Tryphena his wife,
Tryphosa Sanders of Worcester, widow, (which Nicholas Thomas, Tryphena
and Tryphosa were also devisees of Sir Joseph Jekyll), the Rt. Hon.
Francis Earl of Guildford, Sir Roger Burgoyne of Sutton, co.Bedford,
baronet, Thomas Jekyll of Mark Lane, London, gentleman, and John Gibbs
of Bread Street, London, grocer, (assignees of Joseph Jekyll, grocer,
bankrupt, deceased, who was son of the said Thomas Jekyll of Mark Lane
and another of the devisees of Sir Joseph Jekyll,) and Elizabeth
Jekyll, widow of the said Joseph Jekyll, grocer, to Robert Griffin of
Little Chelsea, co. Middlesex, esquire, of their one twelfth parts of
the Bell Inn and other property at Bell Bar in pursuance of a decree in
Chancery. Chancery proceedings recited. Covenant to levy a fine. Field
names given. Signatures.

I wondered rather idly if there were any American descendants of "John
Jekyll late of New England, deceased." There is an extracted marriage
in the IGI, at Boston, Mass., for

Richard Saltonstall and Mary Jekyll, 9 [or 27] Feb. 1738

Apparently, the father of these Jekyll was the John Jekyll, Collector
of Customs at Boston, mentioned in the following source --

Notice that one of the daughters is said to have married a Hicks. I
find an extracted marriage at Philadelphia between

William Hicks and Francisca Jekyll, 19 July 1758 [Christ Church And
Saint Peters, Philadelphia]

and a birth at the same place the next year:

Elizea Margarita, daughter of William and Francina Hicks, 31 Dec. 1759

This seems to be the same person shown in this chart:
