| Notes |
- Early Virginia immigrants lists William Thomas Belcher as coming to
America and then immigrated to the Warrosquoyoake (which was later
changed to the Isle of Wight Co., VA), around 1636. He was sponsored
by John Seaward of the same county. His parents Henry Thomas and Mary
were never in America. William took oath as a freeman, the only
colonist allowed to vote, 6 Nov 1632. William was the forefather of
many Belcher's now living in VA, KY, W.VA, OH and IN.
A court record in the VA Library states: "Belcher in Virginia, a
judgement of court for a debt. Jan'ry 12, 1659. Thomas Wm Belcher
ordered to pay Mr. Jno Cogan 650 lbs. tbo."
