Notes for GODWIN MD GITHA:
GODWIN
Godwin md 1020 Githa; he d 1053; was an English Statesman.  His parentage is uncertain, but thought to be a son of Wulfnoth who was a son of Ethelmer who was a son of Ethelric.  Godwin became chief adviser to King Canute; was made earl of Wessex, and was given great wealth and lands.  After Canute's death, Godwin and King Canute's widow, Queen Emma (of Normandy), supported the claims of the throne of her son by Canute, Harthacanute, against those of Harold Harefoot, Canute's son by AElgifu of Northampton.  Godwin apparently permitted the murder of another claimant to the throne, Alfred AEtheling, son of Queen Emma by her first husband, AEthelred II, and brother of Edward (later Edward the Confessor).  This brutality seems to have earned him the enmity of Harthacanute and of Edward, who succeeded Harthacanute.  The king married Godwin's daughter in 1045 and Godwin was the most powerful earl in England.

  HAROLD
Harold, b 1022? d 1066, King of England, rival of William I (William the Conqueror).  Harold was the son of Godwin, earl of Wessex.  He belonged to the most powerful noble family of England in the reign of EDWARD THE CONFESSOR.  Through Godwin's rise, Harold was made earl of a part of East Anglia.  The fall of Godwin in 1051 however, involved the family and all went into exile.  Harold went to Ireland where he recruited a strong force and brought it to the English coast.  In 1053 he joined his father and brothers in the expedition against England.  Godwin recovered power and Harold was restored to his old earldom.  He was not as high in the favor of the king as was his brother, Tostig, but his succession in the earldom of Wessex and to great estates at his father's death made Harold the most powerful figure in England except the king, and Harold aspired to become heir to the throne.  Harold gained some glory by a great campaign against the Welsh leader, Gruffyd Ap Llywelyn in 1062-63.  About this time Harold, on a ship in the English Channel was driven by an adverse wind to the coast of Ponthieu.  The count of Ponthieu seized him but was, as William's vassal, forced to surrender Harold to William of Normandy.  Harold was compelled to take an oath to support William's candidacy to the English throne, and also agreed to marry William's daughter.  Returning to England, Harold renounced his oath as one of coercion.  When the Northumbrians revolted against Harold's brother Tostig (made earl of Northumbria in 1055), and chose Morkere in his place as earl of Northumbria, Harold took Morkere's part.  The family was thus divided when EDWARD THE CONFESSOR  died, naming Harold as heir instead of Edgar Atheling.  Harold succeeded to the throne also as the choice of the council.  William of Normandy immediately undertook an invasion.  At the same time, Tostig, with Harold III of Normandy, invaded England from the north.  Harold went north and soundly defeated them on 25 Sep 1066 at the Battle of Stamford Bridge, in which both Tostig and Harold III were slain.  The harassed king hurried south to oppose William who had landed at Pevensey.  Harold established his forces in hastily built earthworks near Hastings.  They fought valiantly but were finally put to rout and Harold himself was killed. 
The recorded Norwood history begins at the time of William The Conqueror.  The romance of King Harold of England and Edith Swannaschells lasted all their lives.  When King Harold was killed by William in the Battle of Hastings on 14 Oct 1066, it was Edith who recognized him among the dead.  Alnod Cilt (aka Jordanus de Scapeia), of Swedish and Danish descent, the reputed oldest son of King Harold and Edith, took refuge with his mother at Minster Abbey on the Isle of Sheppey during the reign of William.  The Isle of Sheppey is north of Kent, near the mouth of the Thames River.  It is about ten and one half miles long from east to west and about five miles wide from north to south.  It is low lying, just above sea level, very fertile and most of it is treeless.  There is a small strip of timber on the north side.  In the north center of the island is an elevation of about two hundred feet.  The island is separated from the mainland by the river today.  The prong that separates it is called Swale.  The island received it's name from the fact that many sheep were raised there as they are today.  The name, Jordanus, or Jordan, is thought to have been assumed after a pilgrimage to the Holy Land where he bathed in the River Jordan.

Notes for ROGER DE NORTHWODE:
Roger de Northwode, b 26 Mar 1307,one of the most interesting of our early ancestors, son of Sir John and Agnes de Northwode.  The Norwood family was very prominent and held in high regard.  Lady Idonia de Leyburne de Say, widow of Geoffrey de Say, wanted to make sure that her dau Juliana de Say md Roger de Northwode; Idonia gained control of Roger's guardianship and the marriage took place before he was 14 years of age.  He was a father about the time he was 14 years old.  It is through the marriage of Roger de Northwode and Juliana de Say that their descendants claim descent from an earlier Geoffrey de Saye, who was a Magna Charta Baron.  Geoffrey de Saye, 11th Magna Charta Surety was b ca 1155, son of Geoffrey de Saye I.  It was a Geoffrey de Saye, three generations later, who md Idonia de Layburn, and heiress of the Bigood family who brought the estate of Knoll, Kent into the de Saye family.  Knoll house is one of the show places of England at the present day.  The de Leyburn family was an outstanding and well-connected family.  Thomas de Leyburn, brother of Idonia de Leyburn de Say, md Alice de Toni, dau of Ralph de Toni and Lady Alice de Bohun.  After the death of Sir Thomas de Leyburn, his widow, Lady Alice de Toni Leyburn, md Guy Beauchamp, 2nd Earl of Warwick, as his second wife.  Sir Geoffrey de Say, son of Lady Idonia de Leyburn de Say, md Maud de Beauchamp, dau of Guy de Beauchamp, Earl of Warwick, by his first wife.  Juliana de Say de Northwode d 20 Feb 1329.  In all, Roger de Northwode md five times.  Each marriage was a very profitable one.  Roger de Northwode received his inheritance on 26 Apr 1327.  In 1334 he was sent to Scotland.  He held several public offices and on 3 Apr 1360, he was summoned to Parliament by Edward III.  After Juliana's death, Roger md Elizabeth, widow of Richard Foliot, and dau of John de Segrave on 25 Jun 1331.  She d 11 Dec 1335 at Canterbury and is buried in Sheppey.  His third marriage was to Margaret, widow of Sir Nicholas Halgton.  Lady Margaret and her husband, Sir Nicholas, had two daughters; Beatrice md Sir Ralph St. Leger and Margaret md Sir Roger de Northwode, son of Lord Roger de Northwode and his first wife, Juliana de Say.  These two marriages have caused confusion of the two Margarets and the two Rogers.  Lady Margaret, wife of Lord Roger de Norwode, died after an accident on 31 Dec 1340.  She was watching persons digging into a fox hole to get a fox.  The dirt caved in on her and she was buried.  It took some time to rescue her.  She did not die then but later died of injuries that she had received.  Soon after Easter in 1342, Lord Northwode md a fouth wife, Joan, widow of Thomas de Faversham.  Joan d May 1356.  On 1 Aug 1356 Lord Northwode md for the fifth time to Agnes, dau of Robert de Stone of Dartforth and widow of Sir John de Cobham.  Lord Roger de Northwode d 5 Nov 1361.

William Norwood (1615-1703), third son of Richard and Elizabeth, served as a Royalist at the Battle of Edgehill 1642, and emigrated to Virginia in 1648. Callam claims that Captain Thomas Norwood, Richard Norwood's son and William's brother, was killed at Taunton in 1645; he hadserved in Sir John Byron's regiment, and had been taken prisoner at Brackley, Berkshire, on 28 August 1642.

-------------------------------------------------------------
William Norwood was born in Gloucestershire, England, before 1623, the son of Richard Norwood and his wife Elizabeth Stewart (Stuardt).  About the time King Charles I was beheaded, William left England and emigrated to Virginia.  Many of William's close relatives settled in Virginia; among them were first cousins, the Governor of the Colony, William Berkeley, Henry Norwood, Treasurer of the Colony and a brother of Henry, Charles Norwood, Clerk of the Colony.  Colonel Thomas Ligon (Lygon) was another of William Norwood's first cousins who came to Virginia; Col. Ligon settled in Henrico Co. 

William Norwood was probably married more than once, but his only wife of record was Lydia, probably a member of the prominent Jordan family, as one of their sons was named George Norwood and this George Norwood was mentioned as "God-child" in the will of Colonel George Jordan. 

William Norwood made his will 6 Jun 1702, the same being proven at Southwarke, Surry Co VA on 7 Mar 1703.

William arrived in Virginia Colony before 1648 and purchased his first 200 acres of land from Thomas Gynor on 6 October, 1649. This land was in Isle of Wight County. He sold this land in 1656 and bought 100 acres of land in Surry Co. in 1653 from John Blackstone. When he was an old man George Jordan gave him an additional 80 acres

George Norwood, son of William and Lydia Jordan Norwood, was born about 1671; he was in the Colonial Militia serving under Nathaniel Harrison, Nov 1701.  The name of  the wife of  George Norwood has not been found in the records, but many have stated her given name was Mary.  Their three (known) sons were raised in Surry Co VA.  Before 1725 all three men moved to Bertie Co  NC.  George Norwood sold his property in Surry Co VA and in 1727, he purchased land in Bertie Co NC.  In 1741 Bertie Co was divided and Northampton Co NC was established.  George Norwood did not move but the name of the county changed, so his will was recorded in Northampton Co NC.  He did not name any wife or daughters in his will written 21 Apr 1749.
