Sir Francis Land
« on: Friday 09 June 06 21:42 BST (UK) »
Hi am Looking for any information on Sir Francis Land. I have seen he was born around 1584 in Devon-Tiverton. and also died there. but I do not know when. he had a son Francis Land Jr and he was born in Devon in 1604 but he came to Virginia in 1630. if anyone can help I would really appricate it. I have seemed to hit a brick wall. you can email me at

   Melissa ...

  Hi welcome to Roots chat...

 Have you checked out Ancestry world tree a couple of people on there also have the family.

  Enter Francis Land and U.S.A  if you enter England you do not get any hits..

                        Good luck

        If not it would mean checking Parish registers

I've looked in several books on the history of Tiverton. Have not found Sir Francis, but Lands both earlier and later than him. The family appear to have been Drapers and obviously fairly prominent in the town.

Sorry I should have made it clearer. In this context they were cloth merchants, big business in those days. England clothed half Europe with woollen cloth and became rich in the process.
