b. about 1665; d. winter of 1734/5, Norfolk Co., VA. His will, naming wife Sarah, was written Sep. 2, 1734, and proved Feb. 21, 1734/5, Norfolk Co., VA (Will Book 12, page 77). George, son of William SUGGE, was named in his brother William's will of 1704. Juryman 1708. A Family Called Fort, by Homer T. Fort, Jr. and Drucilla Stovall Jones (Midland, TX; 1970) is subtitled "The Descendants of Elias Fort of Virginia", and provides much SUGG family information in tracing the genealogy of George's granddaughter Sarah (SUGG) FORT, wife of Elias FORT. Married first by 1696, a daughter of Timothy IVES as revealed in a Deed of 1696 in which he names his granddaughter Margaret, daughter of George SUGG. Married second, possibly shortly after 1696 to Sarah (possibly the daughter of Lemuel WILSON), who may have been the mother of the younger children. It is also possible that George had another wife (mother of one or more of his younger children) between his marriage to Miss IVES and his marrige to Sarah.

Thomas SUGG
Thomas SUGG was said to have married Francis GRANDBURY and an Elizabeth MAUND, but I have seen no evidence on this. He did probably marry Sarah ELDRIDGE, daughter of William ELDRIDGE. I don't know too much yet about the ELDRIDGEs, although there was a Thomas ELDRIDGE who might have been a brother of Sarah. His wife was descended from Pocahontas. The following chart shows the ancestry of Thomas' daughter Martha. I don't know if this Thomas was actually related to Sarah, but family legend among the descendents of William SUGG Jr. claim there's a connection: /--William ELDRIDGE ??

Sarah), Thomas (many old family histories / genealogies have said that Thomas' middle name was Eldridge, his mother's maiden name, although I have not seen any real documentation of this), Sarah (m.

William SUGG
A note of indenture between William SUGGE and John BROWN of Isle of Wight County may have been for indentured servitude, sponsorship for the trip to America, or as a marriage bond. In the 1st two cases, John BROWN may have been a close relative, and in the latter case, he may have been his father-in-law.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
William SUGGE was born abt 1635 in Bristol, England. The name of his wife is so far unknown, but he had at least three sons: William SUGG Jr., George SUGG, and Joseph SUGG. It is possible that the children were also born in Bristol, but many histories say that they were originally from Norfolk County, Virginia.
William SUGGE's first appearance in American colonial records was on 20 Mar 1663 when he "[stood] firmly bound to John BROWN, Isle of Wight County of Virginia, for 58 pounds, 16 shillings of lawful money of England." This record could be either for indentured servitude, sponsorship to America, or a marriage bond. If it was sponsorship to America, then it is most likely that John BROWN was related somehow -- perhaps a half-brother or a cousin. If it was a marriage bond (and some histories say that William was married in 1663) then William's wife could have been a daughter of John BROWN.
On 23 Apr 1672 William SUGGE made some kind of agreement with John BROWN, Isle of Wight County, VA, for 29 pounds 8 shillings. On 24 May 1673 he was a Virginia planter indebted to William BODY (BODDIE) for 2704 pounds of good tobacco and cost to be paid, in the Isle of Wight County, VA (from Deed Book 2, page 276, Isle of Wight County, VA). On 24 May 1674 William SUGG sold land to Willaim BODDIE (from deed book 2, page 343, Isle of Wight County, VA).
William SUGG Jr. married twice -- Ruth FENFORD (daughter of Thomas FENFORD and Sarah) and Mary (or Margaret). He had six children: William Jr., Thomas, Joseph, Moses, Margaret, and Sarah. Joseph SUGG, another son of William SUGGE, also married and had children.
The other son of William SUGGE was George SUGG. George was born abt 1665 and in abt 1690 he married Sarah IVES, daughter of Timothy IVES (son of Timothy IVES Sr. and Margaret) and Elizabeth HURLEY (daughter of Joseph HURLEY). They had children: Thomas, Margaret, Priscilla, Sarah, George, Aquilla, and Mary SUGG.
George SUGG's will appears in "Norfolk County Wills 1710-1753", by Charles Fleming McINTOSH. The will is from Book 12, page 77. It was dated 2 Sep 1734 and proved 21 Feb 1734, "by all the witnesses & Acquilla SUGGS one of the Ex/rs... other... refused... unto my Son Thomas Seventy Acres of Land be in more or less bounding as follows to Witt begining at a marked Oak Standing by the Line that bounds the s/d Land...

It seems that Margaret SUGG married Benjamin BECK (son of Jeremiah BECK and Ann MORROW) and John MERCER. *Source: The SUGGS / SUGG Ancestry by Scott T.S. Trimble, written 27 Jun 1995 for the Internet based on extracts from: A SOW OR A SPARROW by Dorris D. Hendrickson and Paul L. Hisaw (1988)

Timothy IVES SR
Came to America in 1638, taking up a land grant of 100 acres near Deep Creek, Virginia. He was probably a brother of Robert and John IVES of Accomack County, Virginia. It is also possible that he was a brother of William IVES of New Haven, Connecticut, considering that a land grant to Timothy was recorded in New York State, the military service record of William was recorded in Virginia.
*Source: Highsmiths in America, Addendum
A land patent shows John Marshall being given a patent of 100 acres, no date listed, for the transport of Timothy Ives and his wife Margaret.

Joseph HURLE
In 1676, he willed land to Elizabeth IVES wife of Timothy IVES, Jr.
Susannah CLEMMENS
Court records of 1675 state that Susan CLEMENTS Powell had delivered a bastard child, having lived in adultery with John, her husband Richards's Brother, after Richard's death. Records further state that John and Susan confessed and were repentant. They probably married 1675/1676.
