• Notes

  Source of info: The Elmores of St. Peter's Parish (Virginia) and some associated families: A working paper Author:      William Edward Elmore Parentage of Thomas/Peter is unknown; but suggested by author that either a Thomas Elmore of Warboys, England could be the father of Thomas Elmore (Virginia immigrant); or a Peter Elmore of the Northern Neck, Virginia area. Excerpt from paper: The second locale of interest is that of the Northern Neck of Virginia. This area includes the counties of Westmoreland, Northumberland, Richmond, Lancaster, and Old Rappahannock. This region was Elmore country and the patriach of these Elmores appears to have been a Peter Elmore. In the book "Cavaliers and Pioneers" Peter Elmor is listed, along with an Abraham Bush, as recieving 300 acres of land on the north side of Lancaster County for the transportation of 6 persons among these six was a William MARTIN. Huntingdonshire, England is certainly one of those locales of interest. It was from this ancient shire that Thomas Elmore is supposed to have migrated to the Virginia colony. To date, research into his origins in that region has been frustrated, however, it is known that there were several Elmore families in that region but attempts to associate any of them to Thomas Elmore have been unsuccessful to date. It is known that Thomas Elmore migrated to the Virginia colony about 1654 and that he returned to his native land but then came back to Virginia Colony sometime between 1663 and 1679 as documented by the passenger list of the ship "Society" that sailed out of the port of Bristol. Perhaps a question that should be asked now is - why did Thomas return to his native land? The most probable answer is to settle the estate of his parents. The paper leans toward William Elmore of Warboys being the father of Thomas Senior, who would be the father of Thomas the immigrant. The author's reasoning is collateral surnames of folks from Warboys that also ended up in Virginia. A good solid theory.
