Notes for Cicilly Reynolds Bailey GREEN

It was this Cicilly Reynolds who came to America with her aunt Joan and Capt. Pierce.Cecely, a widow with a young daughter. Temperance Bailey, was born in England in 1600. and arrived in America in 1610 aboard the Swan.
Information came from; http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=maple-above&id= I6750
Here it says that she immigrated to America on "Blessing" in 1611.

Cicely is listed as Cicely Green on some Sites. Evidently no one is certain yet. In the book; The Memory of my Father by Octavia Jordan Perry-1969; it says what a Ciceley Greene because she was on the list of Hakluyts Immigrants to Virginia before 1624

Information: WorldConnect gedcom of Jeannie Watts.
Arrived Jamestown in August 1610 aboard the "Swan".

Cicilly (Cecily) Reynolds was ardently woed by the Reverand Greville Pooly. She rejected his advances on the grounds that she was with child (other sources say that there was a third doughter, Mary, fathered by Sanuel and perhaps was born after his death). Thereafter Rev. Pooly brought what has been called by Alexander Brownm "The first breach of Promise suit in America". This astute 3rd. husband, (Capt. William Farar), being a lawyer, succeeded in quashing the proceedings and Parson Polly went on his was way.

Chapter (1)

...longtime friend, Dr. John Pott, to succeed him. Then in March of 1630, John Harvey came over with a Crown commission and supplied his own Council, without Farrar. Before the slighted attorney could reverse the tables on Harvey, William Farrar (1) died. So in 1635 Cecily found herself a widow for the third time.
She next married Peter Montague, who was brought to America in 1621 as a headright of William Pierce(111). They had seven children during their twenty three years of matrimony. When Peter Montague died in 1659, Cecily married, finally, Thomas Parker by whom there were no
heirs.
Beyond this point, the history of Aunt Cecily becomes obscured by the ascendancy of the independents or Puritans. In that transition, the old plantation aristocracy of which she was a part lost power in the affairs of the Colony. But, her original chaperon in America, Capt. William
Pierce (111), wound up on the winning team in that shuffle. So did her brother, Christopher Reynolds (111) Thus, Aunt Cecily Reynolds-Bailey-Jordan-Farrar-Montague-Parker was able to end out her days in
calm assurance that her title of "Number One Wife and Mother of America" was abundantly secure.

Notes for Cicily Lnu:
Cicely came to Jamestown in the Swan during the year 1611. At least one report (THESE JORDANS WERE HERE) says her maiden name was Greene, and that she married a man named Baley, by whom she had a daughter named Temperance. This same source goes on to say tht she was a 20 year old widow with a three year old daughter in 1620. A different source states that Cicely's last name was
Reynolds. Both sources agree that Cicely married Samuel Jordan I in 1620, and they had two daughters, Mary and Margaret. Shortly after Samuel's death in 1623, Cicely, now a wealthy widow, was pursued by two suitors--the reverend Greville Pooley and Mr. William Farrar, an honored member of his Majesty's Council. Cicely married Farrar, and Pooley sued Cicely for breath of promise, but he lost the
case.

Notes for Cecily Green, taken from WFT.#2778 12/2/99
Arrived in Virginia, 1610, on the ship "Swan". No one seems to know who Cicely came with in the "Swan", but it is generally believed she did not come with her parents. Her first husband was someone named "Baley".
Her name is also spelled "Sisley and Cicilly.
