†E144/A1.[108] FORTUNATUS1 SYDNOR (William Sydnor,1 probably ____ Sydnor,2 William Sydnor Sr,3 William Sydnor Jr,4 Paul Sydnor,5 William Sydnor Sr,6 Paul Sydnor Sr,7 William Sydnor8 or Paul Sydnor8), born 1638 or 1641 in England,[109] died 15 March 1683/4 in Lancaster County , Virginia.

Fortunatus Sydnor was mentioned in the wills of Francis Sydnor [E76] and Daniel Duckfield , the second husband of his grandmother Hester (Catelyn) Sydnor Duckfield, that showed him in 1656 as residing in Greenwich in Kent of England.

He apparently emigrated between May and December of 1666 and settled on a fork of Indian Creek (formerly called Corrotoman Creek ) flowing into Fleets Bay near Cherry Point Creek in Lancaster County.[110]

Fortunatus Sidenore" and Hugh Brent witnessed a power of attorney[111] signed by Samuel Smyth , a stiller*, in "ye Parish of Stepney , County of Middlesex [now London]"[112] in England on 2 May 1666 relating to property belonging to Smyth in Virginia. Fortunatus “Sidenore" then witnessed a deed between John Meredith and Thomas Young in Lancaster County in Virginia on 5 December 1666.[113]

He also witnessed powers of attorney in Lancaster County on 2 May 1667 and 8 June 1668.[114] He witnessed deeds in that county on 18 January 1666/7 and 7 February 1666/7.[115] In Nov 1668, he was listed as a titheable* on the northside of the Rappahannock River .[116]

In 1671, he served as co-executor of the estate of Hugh Brent and received bequests of "one pair of French sole shoes and one pair of worsted stockings" from Brent.[117] In 1672, he was authorized to prove his ownership in the right of his wife Joanna to cattle from the estate of her "kinsman," Henry Lawson .[118] At a court held in Lancaster County on 8 January 1672/3, he recorded his "mark of hoggs and cattle...a flower de lewys [fleur-de-lis] on the right eare and a small moone at underkeele on the left eare."[119] Thus he used a part of his family's coat of arms, the moon, to brand his domestic animals.

He was commissioned to stake out a road in Lancaster County in 1678. He was serving as church warden* of Christ Church parish[120] on 11 December 1678 when he was called upon to take proof respecting a charge against another parishioner "for having a bastard child borne of the Body of a third party."[121] He was also a commissioner in 1679.

He purchased 111 acres of land on Dick's Branch (now Dymer's Creek ) in Christ Church parish from Thomas and Sarah Keare (Kerr) on 14 December 1681.[122]

The inventory of Fortunatus Sydnor's estate was filed by his widow in 1683.[123]

[1] See Blundeston parish records. The ages of the children of William Sydnor were given as of the date of William's death (possibly from the date of the inquest a few weeks later) in Cole's Eschatology, v.2, f.276; also British Library ms.3881, f.70v. Anne's age was given as nine years, one month, and twenty-three days from which her birthdate of 20 April 1623 was calculated that would placed her birthday several days after her baptism.

[2] See Thurlton parish records.

[3] See Thurlton parish records.

[4] Given the date of birth of her first child, the date of 1663 given in the Denny pedigree was erroneous.

[5] See Thurlton parish records. This birthyear was reckoned from Glover Denny’s age of 68 at his death. It was probable that Glover Denny was five years younger than his wife Anne Sydnor.

Susan's age was given as three years, one month, and three days from which her birthdate of 10 May 1629 was calculated, which placed her birthday several days after her baptism.

[30] The reference found at Norfolk Families, Walter Rye (1911), p.553, was erroneous in that Rye erroneously substituted the place name Mileham for the surname Barnwell. Rye also incorrectly showed the father of Charles Barnwell as Stephen Barnwell.

[107] Anne was remembered in the will of her grandfather Henry Sydnor Jr.

[108] The numbering of the American Sydnors begins with Fortunatus Sydnor as “1.” The use of “A” here was to differentiate from the numbering of the English Sydnors. This information was developed by Floyd Sydnor and Sydnor Thompson.

[109] The ambiguity in dates depended upon a possible misreading of an illegibility of the date in the will of his uncle Francis Sydnor [E76]. See further discussion at that entry.

[110] This place is shown on a map in The American Sydnors.

[124] The data copied by the Amercan William Sydnor in an 1804 Bible was apparently from an earlier Bible. The 1804 Bible was discovered in Hannibal MO in 1896 by Walter Sydnor, attorney of Ashland, in the possession of Burwell Starke. The information was published in 3 Tyler's Magazine, pp.282-7. It was again copied by the American William Burton Sydnor and his mother Addie L. Sydnor of Corder, Missouri, for Floyd W. Sydnor in 1926. That Bible, often referred to as the "Starke Bible", was later destroyed in a fire, but not before the data was saved.
