Oops.In my haste I stated something incorrect regarding Col. Daniel Parke's wife Rebecca.Her first husband's name was Knipe not Williams, although otherwise the names and dates fit.The below quoted information is the entry on Evelyn of James City Co. from Crozier's Virginia Heraldica:
Arms: Azure a griffin passant and a chief or. Crest: A griffin passant or, beaked, forelegged and ducally gorged azure. Motto: Durete. Robert Evelyn, son of Robert Evelyn of Long Ditton and Godstone, county of Surrey (an uncle of John Evelyn, the Diarist), was born in 1606. He came to Virginia in 1634, and in 1637 was Surveyor-General and member of the Council. He returned to England, but afterwards became a resident of Maryland, being Commander of Kent Isle, and member of the Assembly 1637-38, and 1642. Captain George Evelyn, brother of Robert, was born in 1609, and resided in James City county. He had two children, Mountjoy, who married into the Robins family of Northampton county, and a daughter Rebecca, who married, first, Bartholomew Knipe of Virginia and, secondly (prior to 1658), Colonel Daniel Parke, Snr., by whom she has left many descendants.
