Notes

!SOURCE 1: Hord Family Genealogy by A.H. Hord, 1898. Source 1 states that he died Abt. 1712 in Va. !Notes, Biography: John Hord was engaged in the rebellion of the Duke of Monmouth against King James II, and came to America after the defeat of the former. Other members of his family were also actively engaged in this rebellion. On 11 Jun 1685, "St. Barnabas Day", Thomas Hord was arrested for taking part in this rebellion (brother or relative -- not son). He came to Virginia in 1685 and purchased a large tract of land in what is now Caroline Co., on the Rappahannock River, which he named "Shady Grove". (Picture of this house, still standing in 1898, is in Source 1). He brought the house from England in sections and reassembled it. It looks better described as a mansion than a house. It is located 2 miles south of the Rappahannock River, 8 miles below the present day village of Port Royal, near the present day line of the counties of Caroline and Essex. !SOURCE 2: Manuscript of Robert Hord, 1838. "Here John Hord lived and died, and his land descended to my father, who was his grandson, and was sold by me in the year 1821 to Daniel Reynolds... From this origin every man bearing the name of Hord in America is descended."
