  • Notes 
    • NOTE 1./
      The Plantation, Flowerdieu Hundred is on the south side of the James River just upstream from James City, Virginia
      The plantation went to Abraham Peirsey's second wife, Frances Greville, upon his death in 1627/1628. She later married Samuel Mathews and died in 1633. At her death the property was awarded to his daughter Mary Peirsey HILL. In the five years that passed after Abraham's death the estate was altered to where Mary was destitute. As one of Mary's first act upon acquiring Peirsey Hundred she renamed it to the original Flowerdieu Hundred. Today, the plantation is held by the Flowerdew Hundred Foundation.
