- Family tradition:
Our own family tradition passed down from generation
to generation claims our Waldrip roots to be from
Scotland.
The known marriages of my branch of the Waldrop
family are to both Scottish and English families
(Graham and Warren).
Another family tradition of our Waldrop family is that
some of our Waldrop's in South Carolina married to
Native American Indians.
Some possibilities for our Waldrop family based on
What is believed to be our ancestors, James and
Michael Waldrop.
Possibilities:
1672 --- YORK CO., VA.Tithe List.Michael Waldrop
In 1682, the headright for transporting Michael Waldrop was
finally surrendered for land in New Kent County, VA. (This does
not mean that Michael Waldrop was in New Kent Co.; Merely that
the headright owner was.)It appears the transporter was Col Wm.
Claiborne, Jr., who gave or sold it to his son William, who gave
or sold it to Thomas Claiborne, who gave or sold it to his son
Thomas Claiborne, Jr.The document, which clearly states that
headrights were claimed for eleven persons, one being Michael
Waldrop, reads as follows: (From NellNugent's "Cavaliers &
Pioneers" Volume II, p. 236, Patent Book #7.)20 Apr 1682,
William Claiborne, (Claibourne), son of Col. Wm. Clayborne Jr.,
deceased, Thomas Claiborne, son & heir apparent of Mr. Thomas
Claiborne, 545 acres, New Kent Co., VA., 20 Apr 1682 (p. 154).
Beginning in the fork of Chickahominy River where the SW ends,
& continues. Transportation of 11 persons: Thomas Bell, Robert
Bowles, John Ireland, Richard Pearson, Cornwallis Bushy (or
Busby), Margaret Bright, Richard Ely, MICHA WALDROPE,
Mary Poll, Ann Hicks, and Andrew Hall.
----
We do know that in 1672 he was in York Co., VA where
his name appeared on the tithe list, and that he settled in
King William County, VA by 1699. We also know that
he himself received 100 acres of headrights in 1712 for
transporting two men to Virginia
