According to Sir Edward Bysshe’s Visitation of Surrey (1662), Richard Shelbury was at that time a Camberwell gentleman of some considerable standing. His name also occurs amongst the intended Knights of the Royal Oak in 1660 as “Alderman Richard Shelbury” with an estate of £1,000 per annum. Entries in Church Register. 1661. Sept. 9, bap., John, son of Richard Shelbery. Richard Shelbury had married Margaret, da. of Richard Beale of Maidstone, Gent., and Susan, daughter of Edward Bennett. Richard Beale was of the family that settled in Virginia.

STAC 5/D28/6 – B A – 1 Eliz – Thomas Deye v Leonard Tarrante, John Lawrance et al. Thomas Deye of Creeting St Olave, Southwark, made his will on 3 June 1495; it was proved on 16 July 1498: NRO, NCC Reg. Typpes, f. 149. Thomas wanted to be buried in the churchyard of St Olave. His son was Thomas Deye (SRO IC/AA28/F.45. Will dated 15 Feb. 1519). His son was Robert Deye, probable father of Thomas Deye, plaintiff, aforesaid. (Robert’s mother’s executer was Humphrey Wingfield). Thus, there was an association of a Tarrant family with Southwark since the 1550’s.

1. Alan Horde, Esq., Bencher of the Middle Temple, son of John Hord and grandson of Thomas Hord of Bridgnorth, co. Salop, by Joyce, d. and coh. of Sir John Stapleton of Stapleton, Knt. Will d. 1553.
1.1. Thomas Horde. “His eldest son Thomas Hord, born c. 1532 was aged 22, when Alan died” (Genealogist, New Series (1885), ii, 46, 47).
1.1.1. Alan Hord, of the Middle Temple, was cousin of the Palmer family, one of whom, Edward Palmer, in his Will, dated 1624, left a large part of his estate for the founding of a university in Virginia. Edward’s son, Giles Palmer, owned estates in Virginia, mentioned in his Will. May 17, 1637 (Virginia Mag. of Hist, and Biog., Vol. XV, p. 303). A later Giles Palmer married, about 1670, Barbara, daughter of Thomas Hord of Cote House, great- grandson of Alan Hord, Bencher, and their son, Giles Palmer, of Compton Scorphin, Warwickshire, took the surname Hord.
1.1.1.1. Thomas Horde. Miscellanea Genealogica et Heraldica,” New Series, vol. IV, p. 138. The following legal papers of the Millett family, which are cited in the ” Miscellanea,” indicate a relationship between the Hord and Millett families. The inference from these records is that the marriage recorded in the Visitation of Surrey was between Mary Millett and Edward Hurd or Hord, citizen and ironmonger of London: First. Will of John Millett, of Hayes, Middlesex, dated 1628, mentions his sister, Isabel Millett; his sister, Mary Parker; Allen Hendrye, and his sister, Anne Hendrye. Thomas Hord, gentleman, of London (son of Alan of the Middle Temple), in his Will proved May 7, 1608, to which reference has been made, mentions ”my cousin Allen Hendrye ” and ” my cousin Edward Hord.” Will of Isabel Millett, dated 1649, mentions her “cousin Allen Hendrye,” Allen Hendrye’s sister, “wife of John Garraway, Esq. and her (Isabel’s) sister Mary Parker.”
1.1.1.2. William Horde, probably he who was related to the Hoptons, through his wife, Maria Foxe.
1.1.1.2.1. Edward Hurd or Hord, Citizen and Ironmonger of London,” patented land in Virginia July 3, 1622 (Records of the Virginia Company of London, vol. 2, p. 91, published from the manuscript in the Library of Congress). In English wills and deeds of this family the name is frequently written Hurd. The descendants of Edward Hurd or Hord, citizen and ironmonger of London, emigrated to Virginia.
1.1.1.1.1. Elias Hord, he was headright in the patent of Captain John West, in 1654. He came to Virginia in company with John Garraway and George Lyddall who were also headrights in the patent of Captain John West.
