CHILES
FAMILY* (1)
Walter Chiles,
merchant, patented 400 acres near the Falls of Appomattox river,
where Petersburg is situated. He represented Charles City county in the General
Assembly, was speaker, and in 1652 member of the Council. He married, first,
Elizabeth, by whom he had (2) William2, (3)
Walter2. His second wife was probably Alice
Luckin, who married, secondly, John Page. He died
about 1658. His "son and heir" (3) Walter
was a burgess for James City county, married Susannah , and was dead before
1672, leaving issue (4) John3,
(5) Henry3, of New Kent, who had issue between 1690 and
1706, Henry, Walter and James. When Hanover was
formed out of New Kent, Henry3
Chiles was vestryman of St. Paul's Parish. In 1720
the vestry book of that parish announces his death. In 1730 Henry
Chiles (probably his son) and Anne his wife, of
Hanover, made a deed for lands in Goochland. In
1749 Anne Chiles made a deed, recorded in
Albemarle, taken from Goochland. (6) Elizabeth3, who married Henry Tyler, of
Bruton Parish, greatgreat-grandfather of President John
Tyler.
(4) John3, eldest son, married Mary before 1690. He was messenger to the Council in 1693. He patented 900 acres in 1691 situated in New Kent county in the freshes of York river above Mehixton. This part of the county was afterwards in Hanover county, and the tract appears to have been purchased about 1730 by Mann Page from Henry Chiles. There is a patent to said John Chiles in 1701 as church warden of St. Margaret's Parish in King William.
