The village of Somerton began in the 17th century when Sir Thomas Jernigan (also spelled Jarnigan) of Somerleyton, Suffolk county, England came to Virginia and was granted 250 acres in what now is Suffolk. New Norfolk County is said to have been formed in 1636 from that part of Elizabeth City County lying to the south of Hampton Roads, and extinguished in 1637 by the formation of Lower Norfolk and Upper Norfolk Counties. Upper Norfolk County was extinguished in 1643 when Nansemond County was organized following legislation the previous year. My 10th great,grandfather, Robert Boggus, is documented 1 April 1644 ("Norfolk. Co. Va., Deed Bk, B: 37a") as living in the then newly created Nansemond county. Nansemond is an extinct independent city which was located in the State of Virginia in the United States from 1972 until 1974. It was created from Nansemond County, Virginia, and is now part of the independent city of Suffolk, Virginia.
Mary reportedly lived in house which today is 8440 Arthur drive (right), Somerton Historic District, Suffolk, Virginia, the c1800, 2 ½ -story Federal style dwelling resting on a brick pier foundation and is covered by a gabled roof clad in standing seam metal, also noted as their overseer's, the Langston House.
The exterior is clad in clapboard siding and features a variety of window types including double hung nine-over-nine, six-over-nine, six-over-six, and four-over-four wood sash. The west facing front porch is supported by brick piers and covered by a shed roof clad in standing seam metal. The shed roof of the porch is supported by Tuscan columns. The dwelling features three brick chimneys on its north, east, and south elevations. The house has served and continues to serve as a single dwelling since its construction. Included is the detached kitchen structure, an early-19th-century exterior kitchen is located southeast of the main dwelling. It rests on a brick pier foundation. The exterior walls are clad in clapboard siding and the gabled roof is clad in corrugated metal. A shed roof protrudes from the south elevation providing a covered exterior storage area. It is now clad in corrugated metal.
