Edward DIGGES
Digges York county: Arms: Gules on a cross argent, five double-headed eagles' heads erased sable; a crescent for difference.
Edward Digges, son of Sir Dudley Digges of Chilham, Kent, Master of the Rolls, was born 1621, and died 15 March, 1675-6. He entered Greys' Inn 19 May, 1637, and came to Virginia in 1650, settling at "Belfield," on York River. He was a member of the Council in 1654, Auditor-General 1670-75, and Governor from 31 March, 1655, to 13 March, 1657. His wife Elizabeth, who died about 1691, is believed to have been a sister of Col. John Page of York county. By her he had six sons and seven daughters. The Digges arms are on the tomb of Dudley Digges at Belfield.
entered Gray's Inn 19 May 1637, emigrated to Virginia by 11 Dec 1650, elected Governor of Virginia 1655. Attempted silk culture on his plantation "Belfield" in York county. Thirteen children of whom three sons and five daughters died in infancy, or by 1691, without issue.
Old Churches, Ministers, and Families of Virginia. Article XVIII.
I also promised to examine further into the history of the Digges, supposing them to belong much more to the county of Warwick than I find them to have been. Although they intermarried with the family of Cole, and some of them were Warwick men, yet, for the most part, they lived in York county. Their two seats, Chilham, near Yorktown, and Bellfield, some miles higher up the river and about eight miles from Williamsburg, were both on the river. The latter is just opposite to Shelly, on the Gloucester side, and was in the parish first called Chiskiack, and afterward Hampton, until it was merged into York-Hampton. Captain Smith, in his history of the Colony at its first establishment, speaks of King Powhatan as being sometimes with this tribe of Chiskiack Indians. He had only to cross the river from his residence at or near Shelly to Bellfield, now owned by Colonel McCandish, of Williamsburg, and he would be in the midst of this tribe. Being informed that Bellfield was the burial-place of the Digges, I recently spent a night there with Colonel McCandlish and a part of his family, who met me at this--which is only their occasional--residence. I found the tombs in much better order than at most of the old family graveyards. They are very massive. The top-stones, on which the inscriptions are put, are of what is called ironstone, or black marble, being the hardest and heaviest stone in England, scarcely less heavy than iron itself. Nearly all of the old imported tombs are of this kind. It preserves the inscriptions also much better than any other kind of stone or marble. The following are the inscriptions:--
"To the memory of Edward Digges, Esquire, sonne of Sir Dudley Digges, of Chilham, in Kent, Knight and Baronett, Master of the Rolls in the reign of King Charles the 1st. He departed this life the 15th of March, 1675, in the 55th year of his age, one of his Majesty's Councill for this his Colony of Va. A gentleman of most commendable parts and ingenuity, and the only introducer and promoter of the silk-manufacture in this Colonie, and in every thing else a pattern worthy of all pious imitation. He had issue six sonnes and seven daughters by the body of Elizabeth his wife, who of her conjugal affection hath dedicated to him this memorial."
