Bartholomew Stovall born August 24, 1665 in Albury, Surrey, England married Ann Burton born 1664 in Henrico County, Virginia.
Bartholomew, the first in his family to emigrate to America, was born to George Stoffold and Joan Tickner, daughter of Bartholomew Tickner and Millicent.

He was baptized at the age of 18 on November 11, 1683 in the Episcopal Church (Church of St. Peter and St. Paul) at Albury. He may have done this in order to emigrate, since Quaker and other non Episcopal religions were not held in the same regard as the members of the Church of England.
