Notes for Mary Burks:
Elizabeth Burks Cabell
From the book The Cabells and Their Kin by Alexander Brown:
Gov. William Gooch issued a patent for, or grant of, 4800 acres of these lands to William Cabbell, gent, on September 12th (O.S.), 1738, and on September 22d (O.S.), 1739, he issued a grant fro 440 acres more; a grant for the remainder was not secured until after the doctor’s return from England, of which hereafter. Althogh he left other attorneys in Virginia, the chief responsibility for protecting the first English patent in the last hunting-ground of the Indian east of the Blue Ridge in Virginia rested for several years on “his loving wife, Elizabeth Cabbell,” a colonial dame, who, mounted on her good steed
and attended by her trusty men, rode fearlessly into the wild woods, whenever occasion required to overlook these lands — the planting of them, and the preventing of encroachments upon them. She paid
the quit-rents, taxes, etc., attended to all legal requirements within her power, and, on her husband’s return in 1741, turned his affairs over to him in comparatively good shape.
Before going on the voyage to England with Dr. Cabell, we will consider another very interesting tradition, which has it that Mrs. Elizabeth Cabell was descended from an Indian princess of the Powhatan tribe (some accounts have it ‘of the Catawba tribe,’ but this is not tenable), and that it was the knowledge among the neighboring Indians of this descent which protected her husband while locating these lands, and herself when she was managing them in his absence. It was more probably owing to her relationship to members of the Society of Friends, with whom the Indians were on friendly terms. However, the story is interesting, and “the evidences of its truth” are said to “have been carefully collected” in several branches of the Breckinridge, Floyd, and other families. I cannot vouch for it, but I will give it as I find it in the Floyd tradition.
“Opechancanough, the celebrated chief of the Powhatans, who was brutally murdered, while a prisoner, in 1644, left a lovely young daughter, the child of his old age, the Princess Nicketti — ‘she sweeps the dew from the flowers.’ Some years after this graceful Indian maiden had reached the years of mature womanhood, a member name is not given of one of the old Cavalier families of Virginia ‘fell in love with her and she with him,’ and the result was a clandestine marriage, and a half-breed Indian girl who married about the year 1680 a Welshman (others say a native of Devonshire, England,) named Nathaniel Davis, an Indian trader, and, according to some accounts, a Quaker; and from this alliance many notable people in the East and in the West have descended. Their daughter, Mary Davis (born about 1685), married Samuel Burks of Hanover (the ancestors of the Burks family of Virginia), and their daughter, Elizabeth Burks, married Capt. William Cabell, the ancestor of the Cabells; Martha Davis, another daughter, married Abraham Venable, the ancestor of the Venables. Robert Davis, Sr., a son (the ancestor of ‘the black Davises’ of Kentucky, and from whom Jefferson Davis descended), had a daughter, Abadiah (or Abigail) Davis, who married William Floyd, the ancestor of the Floyds of Virginia and of the West. A daughter, or granddaughter, of the Quaker, married Gen’l Evan Shelby of Maryland, the ancestor of the Shelbys of the West. Samuel and Philip Davis of the Blue Mountains were sons, and there may have been other sons and daughters.
“William Floyd left the eastern shore of Virginia, went up the country as far as the present Amherst County, which was then a very wild region, where he met with this family of Davis, who had traded with the Indians and had gotten much property in that way. The Quakers were much given to friendly trading with the Indians.
“William Floyd and his wife’s brother, Robert Davis, Jr., with their families, emigrated to Kentucky with the first settlers, and finally located in the Bear-grass region, near Louisville, where the kinsmen (Floyds and Davises) had a fort, called ‘Floyd’s Station.'”
But it is not necessary to follow the Floyd narrative farther. It seems well to say, however that I have seen a Davis pedigree which asserts that “the Indian blood first entered the family through the marriage of Abby Davis with William Floyd, a half breed Indian.” Other Davis pedigrees and traditions do not deny the Indian blood, while every Floyd with whom I have corresponded has asserted positively that “it was through Abby Davis the Indian blood came.”
The Princess Nicketti’s name (it may be because the marriage was clandestine) has not been popular among her traditional descendants. The first Governor, John Floyd of Virginia, named one of his daughter for her. I know of no other namesake; but if the tradition is true, no more lovely women than some among her descendants ever “swept the dew from the flowers.”
