ohn Wimborough (b.c. 1612) appears in Accawmacke Co.,Va. as early
as 1649 with his wife Barbary Hudson (b.c. 1612)(widow or dau of Robert
Hudson)(ref . John Jr.(b.c. 1643) m. Frances (b.c.1636)
grandau of Thomas Eastmead*. They settled in an area near Hungar's
Parish renting land from Robert Burton. In 1660/61 they had a daughter
Ann. It has been speculated that the family emigrated from Kent or Sussex
Counties in England. It may be they came to Virginia for freedom from religious
persecution,but came to find the same strict church ethics sailed the Atlantic
with them. As early as 1649 Barbary Wimbrow was accused of slander,
and in 1655 of witchery. Each situation was rectified but there is no doubt
of the defiance and fiery spirit of this family.
John Wimbrow III married Rachel Lucas, daughter of William Lucas and Mary Millechoppe. Mary Millechoppe was the daughter of Nicholas Millechoppe Sr. another very early Virginian of Pungoteague/ Assawomen Creek. John and Rachel had at least one son Solomon Lucas Wimbrow. John also has a connection to the Bird and Ebourne Family. John Bird's will of 1727/28 lists his children Solomon, Major, Eborn, Daniel, Nathaniel wit. John Johnson, Samuel Johnson, and John Wineberry.

"Lineage : The name of the family first occurs under the form of Wimbrow in a tax list of Accomack Co., Virginia, dated 1686, More usually, it appears a WIMBROUGH until the end of the eighteenth century (inventory of William Wimbrough, of Accomack Co. 1731, will of Joseph Wimbrough, of Accomack Co. 1771, etc.). It is believed that the family came from either Kent or Sussex in England.

The writer has often met her in class, and at her home heard from her lips the love she felt for Jesus and his people and would shout and leap for joy in expectation of a home in Heaven. She was a loving companion, a kind mother and took good care of the Methodist preachers where they always found a good home. She is now looking for her companion and children she left behind, may they all meet in Heaven. G. W. Covington
