Coat of Arms, English Ancestry of the Hord Family of Virginia
The lineage of the Hord family of England has been traced to Richard Hord, Shropshire, 1275AD.� In 1533, Alan Hord [9] (John [8], Thomas [7], Richard [6], Thomas [5], Richard [4], Richard [3], John [2], Richard [1], 1275AD) a member of the Shropshire family and a Bencher of the Middle Temple, London, purchased the Manor of Cote, Oxfordshire, where the family continued to reside until it became extinct in the main line in 1840.
Younger branches of the family of Alan Hord of Middle Temple removed to London, to Ewell, in Surry and to the souther and southwestern counties of England.
Research recently made in England and in Virginia indicate that the Hord family of Virginia is descended from teh family of Alan Hord of Middle Temple, whose grandfather, Thomas Hord [7], was Attorney General during the reign of Henry VII.
May 27, 1650,� `Aalan Hord' came to Virginia with Colonel Moore Fauntleroy; and his name appears as head-right in the patent granted to Moore Fauntleroy for land in what is now the county of Richmond in Northern Neck of Virginia.
May 27, 1654, `Elias Hord� came to Virginia and was head-right in the patent of Captain John West , a relative of Lord Delaware.
First Generation
August 1, 1708, John Hord and his eldest son, Thomas Hord, styled `Gentlemen� in the Virginia county records (relatives of Alan Hord and Elias Hord, who came to Virginia at an earlier date) were the immigrant ancestors of this branch of the Virginia family, as proved by the oath of Thomas Hord in the Essex County Court, Virginia, April 15, 1740, in which he stated that he `came into this colony to dwell in the year 1737 and this is the first time of proving his importation either by himself or his parents.�
John Hord was an English gentleman.� He was b. in Ewell, England, December 29, 1664 and was baptized there the following January 19th.� He came to Virginia in 1685, and it is supposed that he was engaged in the rebellion of the Duke of Monmouth against King James II, and came to America after the defeat of the former at the battle of Sedgemoor (1685).� It is a well-known fact that several other members of the family were engaged in the rebellion and a record still exists showing that Thomas Hord, Esq. of `Cote House,� the head of the family at that time, was imprisoned in Oxford Castle for this offense.
Coming to Virginia, John Hord purchased a large tract of land in what is now Caroline county, on the Rappahannock River, which he named `Shady Grove.�� His house was brought from England in sections and its day was considered a very handsome one, but is so badly in need of repairs that it is now uninhabitable.� It is located two miles south of Port Royal.� It is a large, double mansion, with a spacious hall ten feet in width running through the center, having on each side rooms twenty feet square.� In the middle of the hall is an archway handsomely carved.� The entire building is massive and substantial, having hardwood floors, tall white mantels and handsomely panelled doors.� It is two stories high, built of massive timbers, with brick foundations and chimneys.� Here John Hord lived and died.� By will, probated in Essex county, November 21, 1749, he gave to son Ambrose Hord `the land and houses wereon I now live after my son william has had the use of it for one year, also the land that my son Thomas Hord, escheated for me x x x.�� He bequeathed 1000 acres of land in King Goerge county to sons Thomas, Peter, James, and William Hord; and made other bequests to son John Hord, grandsons Mordecai Hord and William Hord, (son of William) and to William Miller `that marry�d my daughter Jane.�
