Notes - John Trammell appears in the records of Stafford County, Virginia, in the late 1690's. He was a constable and sub-sheriff in Westmoreland, Stafford County, Virginia Since he appears in the records about 23 years after his father Thomas obtained his freedom, we suppose that Thomas married about the time he was liberated or before and had a son John born about 1676, possibly earlier. In 1694, he was Constable and sub-Sheriff in Westmoreland, Stafford County, Virginia. He married a French woman named Mary Gerrard Hutt.. John was of legal age and married in 1698, as indicated by this entry in Westmoreland County, Virginia, Book 2, Page 177, dated Oct. 26, 1698: "John Trammell of lower Mackotick, Cople Parish, Westmoreland County, and Mary his wife, sell to John Gardner land in Stafford and Westmoreland County . . . a part of a tract of land devised to said John Trammell by John Williams, deceased." This record suggests that John's mother was (might have been) a daughter of this John Williams, or else the wife of John may have been the daughter of John Williams. there is no proof that either possibility is true, but both appear to be reasonable assumptions. (Boddie, in Historical Southern Families, Vol. 1, p227, mentions a land sale by John Trammell in 1691.) There are several records of land transactions by John Trammell during the next several years, to 1705. The records for the period 1709 to 1729 were destroyed by fire during the Civil War, and we lose sight of the Trammells for a time. He inherited land from his grandfather John Williams and lived in Westmoreland County, Virginia Four brothers - John, Sampson, Gerrard, and William owned large tracts of land in and around Falls Church, Fairfax County, Virginia. On 20 March, 1746, by deed of record in Fairfax Courthouse, John Trammell transferred by deed to the Vestry of Truro Parish in Fairfax County a certain parcel of land containing "two acres where the upper church is to be laid off in such a manner as the Vestr y shall think proper, to include said church, church yard, spring, and all appurtenances to the said premises." John Trammell received fifty shillings sterling for the land. The contract awarded on 9 June, 1753, is the earliest record concerning the building at Falls Church. By order of the Vestry dated 13 October, 1754, John Trammell was paid 320 pounds of tobacco "for grubbing a place for the church."

The HUTT GenForum also has some discussion of the identity of
the woman who married John TRAMMELL. One problem was cleared
up there by Rosemary Mahan: she says that the Mary Ann HUTT
who married Andrew READ was the daughter of Gerrard HUTT Junior,
not Senior. So that Mary Ann HUTT is out of the picture.
The other problem remains - the identity of the woman known
as Mary Gerrard HUTT or Mary Ann HUTT, wife of John TRAMMELL.
R.L. Samuell says that Daniel HUTT and Temperance GERRARD were
married on 1 June 1669 at the home of her father Dr. Thomas
Gerrard in Westmoreland Co. VA. They had only two children,
as Daniel died in 1674. The children named in his will were
Gerrard HUTT (Sr) and Anne (not Mary Ann) HUTT.
The later marriage date (apparently documented) makes it all
the more impossible for Gerrard HUTT Sr., born between 1670
and 1674, to be the father of the Mary Ann HUTT who married
John TRAMMELL in 1698. It would have to have been his sister
Anne, but she was never called Mary, and there are numerous
references to John TRAMMELL's wife Mary from 1691 through
1705, according to Nancy Norman.
Carol Mitchell says that Anne HUTT married Thomas WADDY, but
R.L. Samuell says Thomas WADDY married Ann HULL, daughter of
Augustine HULL; the Freeman site referenced by Jean Wall has
Ann HULL, daughter of Augustine, married to Gerrard HUTT Sr.
All very circular, and one more reason to mistrust the Freeman
genealogy.
Daniel HUTT and Dr. Thomas GERRARD were the original immig-
rants; unless one or both immigrated with an unknown brother,
the existence of a Mary Ann HUTT or a Mary Gerrard HUTT is
hard to explain. Carol Mitchell says she's researched both
the HUTT and GERRARD sides and finds no descendant who could
have married John TRAMMELL.
So who was this mystery woman? Is it possible that a second
daughter, Mary, was conceived shortly before Daniel HUTT's
untimely death and born after it, say in 1674, the same year
his will was probated? That sort of thing must have happened
occasionally. There would then be just enough time for Mary
to grow up and marry John TRAMMELL and be recorded as his
wife in 1691 in Westmoreland Co. VA.

Betsey and others:
I think Betsey has a good point about not changing our genealogy just
on the information that was posted on the net. However, my
intuition -- a poor substitute for documentation -- tells me that John
Trammell's wife was probably a granddaughter of Dr. Thomas, and that
she was not a Gerard, since the male line of Gerards from Dr. Thomas
died out whit his sons.
John Trammell died about 1755 in Fairfax County, Virginia, and his
wife was Mary as early as 1698 when he sold land to Joseph Hutson, and
the deed recited that it was in the possession of John Trammel and
Mary his wife.
There is even an earlier (1691) transaction in which John Trammell had
a wife Mary.
