I27528: Hannah (ABT 1720

Notes

Aka: Gabriel Baubau. "Presumed to be of French Huguenot descent through family folklore. There is little doubt that the Gabriel Baubau of the Nash grant is the immigrant ancestor from whom we are all descended. This grant, coupled with the records in which Elizabeth Spencer appears, are key elements in establishing his identity.

Although I was unable to find a direct link to the Baubeau's of St. Sauvant, it appears likely that the Gabriel Baubeau, the son of Gabriel Baubeau and Catherine Rivault, fled France sometime after 1681. There is no record of his having a wife. If this is the Gabriel of the Nash grant then he would have been 49 years old when he arrived in Virginia in 1700. His age might explain his early disappearance from early Virginia records.

The conclusions that I have drawn with regard to Gabriel Baubeau, his parents and siblings are my own, resulting from my research in France in July, 1997 and the discovery of the Journals of Jean Rivierre in la Couarde. The material from these journals appears to be a primary source for "Huguenots in the Back Country", a collection of material that Scott Johnson had collected sometime earlier, which I used as a guide to my work in 1997.

The date of Gabriel's death is important because it defines a time span during which he could have fathered children. Most researchers tend to ignore Moses Boboe who witnessed the deed of John Coffey on Nov 28, 1752, but his birthdate (before 1731) limits his relationship with Spencer to a brother or son. Since there is some considerable material for the children of Spencer, it seems more likely that he is Spencer's brother.

Current records make it impossible to accurately determine a date for the death of Gabriel. Some researchers use the Quit Rent Rolls of 1704, showing Elizabeth renting 200 acres, as proof of Gabriels death. It was unusual for women to act in legal matters if they were married, but not unknown. Gabriel, a recent immigrant, may have been unfamiliar with the legal vagaries of a new world. He may have been unable to speak or understand English, may have been unable to read or write English even if it were his native tongue. They might well have agreed to leave legal matters to a more worldly, and better educated, Elizabeth who appears to have been involved in the importation of immigrants in her previous marriage to James Whitte and later in the purchase or rental of land. It seems more likely that Elizabeth became a widow sometime after 1704." (Robert G. Bobo, April, 1999)

Robert Nash granted 350 acres in St. Stephens Parrish, New Kent County for the transportation of seven persons, including Gabriel BauBau, into the colony. Dated October 25, 1700. Filed Nov 7, 1700. (Virginia Patent Book 9, pp281-282.

Samuel Williams and Daniel Coleman granted 600 acres in King William Co.,Between Williams' and Bubboe's plantations on April 23,-1703. (KingWilliam Co., VA, Patent Book 9, p. 549)"
