planter, in 1670.' At his death, the land in question became the property of Griggs daughter. The core of the tract -- always varying in acreage -- passed from Ruth Griggs among her female descendants in unbroken succession through the end of the colonial period. The land was inhabited as early as 1702, by which date Mottsam Wright, Ruth Griggs's second husband, had begun using the property as a ferry landing. An official "act for the regulation and settlement of ferreys" established the price for transport from "Martram Wright's plantation" to Dudly's across the Rappahannock River in Middlesex County at fifteen pence for a man -- and twice that amount if he was on horseback.

Wright's Ferry proved a convenient point of departure and arrival for travel across the river, for the plantation hosted a ferry throughout the eighteenth century. Although his is the first name associated with the site, Wright's landholdings remained legally the property of his wife Ruth Griggs, who eventually conveyed them to her three children by a subsequent marriage to Robert Gibson. Winifred Gibson, one of these three offspring, married Ezekial Gilbert in 1722 and the couple established their household on the Wright's Ferry tract. That they led a prosperous life is certain from the inventory made of Gilbert's estate after his death in 1752. That they continued to operate the ferry business is also certain. By 1766, the grown daughter of Ezekial and Winifred Gilbert had married Rawleigh Shearman, who purchased an informative advertisement in the Virginia Gazette.

I hereby acquaint the publick that the ferry in the lower part of Lancaster county, on Rappahannock river, commonly known by the name of Gilbert's will by the 1st of April next be kept by the subscriber in very good order; where all persons may depend upon a ready passage, and meeting with good entertainment both for themselves and attendants. There will be tolerable passage at the said ferry from the date hereof. All persons who shall please to favor me with their custom will greatly oblige their humble servant

Thomas [Sr.] Powell [Sr.] (I1470)
http://vangundy dot net/familytree/paf/pafg06.htm#63

One story says it was this Thomas, along with brothers Robert and John and 26 others, who was imported to America November 18,1663 by Capt Wiliiam Mosley. Other theories place him in America much earlier, by at least 1654. He may have traveled back and forth between England and America.

1665 December 27. Thomas purchased (Old Rappahannock County, Virginia, Deed Book 3, Page 342) 50 acres from John Mills of Rappahannock Co. "...near the flood gate...on Tignor's Creek..."

1667 September 30. Thomas and Mary Powell sold (Ibid., page 317) their interest in 300 acres land to James Coghill;for the valluable consideration of nyne barrells of good Indian corne as also for Divers other Considerasions of Sittingbourne Parish, Rappahannock County, Virginia. The land was "lying in the freshes of Rappahannock River on the North side of the River."

1668 October 26. Thomas was granted (Virginia Land Patent Book 6, Page 178.) 646 acres on the south side of Rappahannock River "in ye freshes about four miles up from ye water side."

1668 November 5. Thomas Powell and Richard Syms purchased (Old Rappahannock Deed Book 4, Page 115) a tract of land located in Old Rappahannock County from Thomas Maddison. The location of the land was not made clear in the document.

1694 Essex County, Virginia "Thomas and Mary Powell convey to their son, Honorias Powell, 100 acres of land beginning at an ash standing 'in the line of Colonel Catlett (forest land)' on a branch adjoiningAbraham Stapp."

10/18/1650, (Virginia Land Patent Book 2, Page 288.) Thomas Powell granted 500 acres for the transportation of 10 persons. The land was described as "lying on the north side of Rappahannock River about three miles above Mr. Eaton's plantation, being a neck of land commonly called "Powell's Quarter"...bounded on the east by Deep Creek.

8/11/1655 (Lancaster Co, Virginia Rec. Book, #2, page 104). Francis Place conveyed a tract of land formerly in Isle of Wight County, Virginia containing 300 acres patented by him September 7, 1654, lying on the North side of the "freshes" of the Rappahanncok River about ten miles above Nazemum Town and certain cattle by deed of gift to 'My daughter Mary Place when she arrives at 18 years,' if she dies without heirs, then 'to daughter Margaret Place, my youngest daughter.'" Mary had married Thomas Powell by 1666 when they deeded this same land to James Coghill.

2/16/1656/7. Thomas (T) Powell was a witness to the will of Clement Thrash. In 1652, Clement Thrash patented land on the south side of Rappahannock River "on the top of the mountain".

1662 Acquired deed to land on Farnham Creek

12/27/1665 (Old Rappahannock County, Virginia Deed Book 3, Page 342): John Mills sold to Thomas, both men being from Rappahanncok Co, 50 acres of land beginning at the marked hickory near the mill flood gates bounding on the land of Thomas Rooson, now possessed by Philip Saunders, to a creek called Tignor's Creek, unto a small river going into said creek being part of a grand patent to John Mills, for 400 pounds of tobacco and two cows.

9/30/1667 (Old Rappahannock Co, Virginia Deed Book 3, page 317): "Thomas Powell and Mary, his wife, sell to James Coghill for the valluable consideration of nyne barrells of good Indian corne as also for Divers other Consideracons 300 acres on the North side of Rappahannock River patented September 7, 1654. Mary Powell, daughter to Francis Place, doth appoint her loving friend, Mr. Daniel Gaines her true and lawful attorney to acknowledge said deed." William Wilton witnessed this power of attorney and a few days later bought the land from Coghill. This deed establishes the maiden name and father of Thomas Powell's wife Mary.

1668 Land patent, 646 acres, s. side Rappahannock River

On 5 Nov. 1668 Thomas Maddison and Anne, his wife, deeded _?_ acres of land to Thomas Powell and Richard Syms. The witnesses were John Samwaies and Thomas Chetwoode. Recorded 3 Feb. 1668/69. Apparently this was again recorded on 1 October 1669. Apparently this was again recorded on 2 November 1681. (Old) Rappahannock County, Virginia, Recorded Deed Book 4, Page 115

1694 (Essex County, Virginia Order Book 1692-94 (Reverse) Deeds, page 325) "Thomas and Mary Powell convey to their son, Honorias Powell, 100 acres of land beginning at an ash standing 'in the line of Colonel Catlett (forest land)' on a branch adjoining Abraham Stepp."

Thomas Powell who lived in Sittingburne Parish in Essex County left a Will, written March 2, 1700, stating he was "very sick and weak," which was proved on April 10, 1701 (1701 Essex County Will Book, page 75). He leaves land to be divided equally between his sons, Place and Thomas and his wife Mary, her part at her death to go to son William, cattle to son, William and "these persons that hath the education of my son William till he shall come ot the age of 21 years." He also left bequests to daughters Frances Powell, Elizabeth Salmon, Anne Coffee, and sons, Honours (Honorias) and Place and son-in-law-John Salmon, to be Executors. Signed by mark of Thomas Powell.

Abt 1703. Mary petitioned that the maintenance of her son, William, be allowed out of her husband's estate, but the court refused this as an "irregular process."

1704 Isle of Wight County, Virginia. Thomas supposedly still owned 100 acres according to "English Duplicates[ of Lost Virginia Records," even though he had been dead the past 3 years.

Good day! I have checked my book,"Index to Marriages of Old Rappahannock and Essex Counties, Virginia 1655-1900," for your POWELL's. There were only six entries as follows:
1700 POWELL, Ann; daughter of Thomas, married Edward COFFEY; Deeds & Wills Box 10, Page 75. 1699

POWELL, John; married Margaret, daughter of James COGHILL, Court Orders Box 1, Page 242. ***1723
POWELL, Thomas; married Mary, daughter of William GIBSON, Deeds Box 17, Page 159.
There were no surname PLACES listed whatsoever.
It looks like the last entry, at least, is a hit.
Hope this information is of assistance! Michael C. Brady MCBRADY@prodigy dot net

1667 September 30. Thomas and Mary Powell sold (Ibid., page 317) their interest in 300 acres land to James Coghill for the valluable consideration of nyne barrells of good Indian corne as also for Divers other Considerasions of Sittingbourne Parish, Rappahannock County, Virginia. The land was "lying in the freshes of Rappahannock River on the North side of the River."

8/11/1655 (Lancaster Co, Virginia Rec. Book, #2, page 104). Francis Place conveyed a tract of land formerly in Isle of Wight County, Virginia containing 300 acres patented by him September 7, 1654, lying on the North side of the "freshes" of the Rappahanncok River about ten miles above Nazemum Town and certain cattle by deed of gift to 'My daughter Mary Place when she arrives at 18 years,' if she dies without heirs, then 'to daughter Margaret Place, my youngest daughter.'" Mary had married Thomas Powell by 1666 when they deeded this same land to James Coghill.

9/30/1667 (Old Rappahannock Co, Virginia Deed Book 3, page 317): "Thomas Powell and Mary, his wife, sell to James Coghill for the valluable consideration of nyne barrells of good Indian corne as also for Divers other Consideracons 300 acres on the North side of Rappahannock River patented September 7, 1654. Mary Powell, daughter to Francis Place, doth appoint her loving friend, Mr. Daniel Gaines her true and lawful attorney to acknowledge said deed." William Wilton witnessed this power of attorney and a few days later bought the land from Coghill. This deed establishes the maiden name and father of Thomas Powell's wife Mary.

Thomas Powell who lived in Sittingburne Parish in Essex County left a Will, written March 2, 1700, stating he was "very sick and weak," which was proved on April 10, 1701 (1701 Essex County Will Book, page 75). He leaves land to be divided equally between his sons, Place and Thomas and his wife Mary, her part at her death to go to son William, cattle to son, William and "these persons that hath the education of my son William till he shall come ot the age of 21 years." He also left bequests to daughters Frances Powell, Elizabeth Salmon, Anne Coffee, and sons, Honours (Honorias) and Place and son-in-law-John Salmon, to be Executors. Signed by mark of Thomas Powell.

Note:
1704 Essex County, Virginia. He and brothers, Honor and Thomas, were listed on the Quit Rent Rolls, each having 72 acres.

8/10/1705 Essex County, Virginia. Place put the following on record at the court house:

"Know all men that I Place Powell of Essex Co and Parish of St Anne's do for several threatenings of Mary Powell my wife that she will make away with what I have a-purpose for to ruine me, I do, therefore, forwarne all manner of persons from having any manner of dealing with her and from taking anything of her or entertaining her without my consent." Place signed with an "X". A footnote says she may have been a "she-devil", probably as a result of loneliness.

1/11/1710 St Ann's Parish was still his residence when he leased 300 acres to Augustine SMITH for 99 years, the land was in St Maries, Richmond Co. "whereon George and William Proctor now liveth in the freshes of Rappahannock River in the forks of Lamb's Creek, being the land granted unto Francis PLACE by patent Sept. 1654, relation being had to the records, and now doth of right belong to the said Place Powell, partly to these presents." Witnesses were: John Golding, Cassandra Golding and John Wood. It was not recorded until 1/13/1714, after the next event.

6/3/1713 The previous entry concerned land that Place's parents had sold some 40 years prior and the question arose about the validity of the contract. The matter went to court and the jury's verdict was:

"Francis Place took up the land in question, 300 acres in Sept. 1654; on Aug 11, 1655, he made a deed in tail to his daughter, Mary, and she was thereafter in possession of the land. Mary married Thos. Powell and said Place is their eldest son. Mary died about 3 years ago the middle of December last. On Sept. 30, 1666, Thomas and Mary deed the land to James COGHILL, who, on Oct 11, 1667 deeded it to William Wilton. He took out a new patent for the land on Oct. 3, 1671. 'Wee do not find any patent of the sd land granted to the sd ffrancis Place before that dated in 1654 before cited. Wee find that the sd ffrancis Place was dead long before the date of Wilton's patent. Wee find the said Mary Powell lived a widow' nine or ten years before she died."

There was one final entry concerning Place and this same 300 acres:

9/7/1750 King George Co. "Honorias Powell, of St. Mary's Parish, Caroline Co, as brother and heir apparent to Place Powell, who has removed himself to some remote place out of Virginia, conveys to John CHAMPE, Gent, the land patented Sept, 1654, by Francis Place and leased Nov. 11, 1710 by said Place Powell to Augustine SMITH, Gent, which lease is of record in Essex Co."

It appears that Place left Essex Co but no one knew his whereabouts and so assumed him dead (in 1715) with his property passing to brother, Honorias.

John Golding gave bond as administrator of Place's estate but apparently there was a problem because in July 1716, Augustine SMITH posted 50 pounds bond to administer the estate, "he dying without a will." Inventory and appraisment of Place's estate was recorded in 1717.

Mary (POWELL).Mary married Place POWELL before 1705 in Essex County, Virginia, St Anne Parish.

Note:
1704 Essex County, Virginia. He and brothers, Honor and Thomas, were listed on the Quit Rent Rolls, each having 72 acres.

8/10/1705 Essex County, Virginia. Place put the following on record at the court house:

"Know all men that I Place Powell of Essex Co and Parish of St Anne's do for several threatenings of Mary Powell my wife that she will make away with what I have a-purpose for to ruine me, I do, therefore, forwarne all manner of persons from having any manner of dealing with her and from taking anything of her or entertaining her without my consent." Place signed with an "X". A footnote says she may have been a "she-devil", probably as a result of loneliness.

1/11/1710 St Ann's Parish was still his residence when he leased 300 acres to Augustine SMITH for 99 years, the land was in St Maries, Richmond Co. "whereon George and William Proctor now liveth in the freshes of Rappahannock River in the forks of Lamb's Creek, being the land granted unto Francis PLACE by patent Sept. 1654, relation being had to the records, and now doth of right belong to the said Place Powell, partly to these presents." Witnesses were: John Golding, Cassandra Golding and John Wood. It was not recorded until 1/13/1714, after the next event.

6/3/1713 The previous entry concerned land that Place's parents had sold some 40 years prior and the question arose about the validity of the contract. The matter went to court and the jury's verdict was:

"Francis Place took up the land in question, 300 acres in Sept. 1654; on Aug 11, 1655, he made a deed in tail to his daughter, Mary, and she was thereafter in possession of the land. Mary married Thos. Powell and said Place is their eldest son. Mary died about 3 years ago the middle of December last. On Sept. 30, 1666, Thomas and Mary deed the land to James COGHILL, who, on Oct 11, 1667 deeded it to William Wilton. He took out a new patent for the land on Oct. 3, 1671. 'Wee do not find any patent of the sd land granted to the sd ffrancis Place before that dated in 1654 before cited. Wee find that the sd ffrancis Place was dead long before the date of Wilton's patent. Wee find the said Mary Powell lived a widow' nine or ten years before she died."

There was one final entry concerning Place and this same 300 acres:

9/7/1750 King George Co. "Honorias Powell, of St. Mary's Parish, Caroline Co, as brother and heir apparent to Place Powell, who has removed himself to some remote place out of Virginia, conveys to John CHAMPE, Gent, the land patented Sept, 1654, by Francis Place and leased Nov. 11, 1710 by said Place Powell to Augustine SMITH, Gent, which lease is of record in Essex Co."

It appears that Place left Essex Co but no one knew his whereabouts and so assumed him dead (in 1715) with his property passing to brother, Honorias.

John Golding gave bond as administrator of Place's estate but apparently there was a problem because in July 1716, Augustine SMITH posted 50 pounds bond to administer the estate, "he dying without a will." Inventory and appraisment of Place's estate was recorded in 1717.

Mary (POWELL).Mary married Place POWELL before 1705 in Essex County, Virginia, St Anne Parish.

I have been researching Thomas Powell (1630-1701) who married Mary Place (1648-1710). Most people have her parents as Francis Place and Ann Williamson, but on closer research I found that her dad was indeed Francis Place, but not the well-known painter as everyone believes. Francis Place and John Weire lived next door to each other in the 1655 Lancaster County, Va Tax Levy. Then, I found a will written by Robert Chambers, February 4, 1653 in Lancaster Co., Va where he notated Honor Place. "give to Honor Place for looking to me in my sickness a yearling heifer, 3 yards of green – -, my chest, and a - - skin."

Throughout my research of Thomas Powell I could not figure out why Thomas and Mary Place Powell had named a son Honorias. Here is what I believe the proof. Honor Place was wife of Francis Place. Honoria and Francis Place had two daughters Mary and Margaret. Mary was the oldest and already married when her dad died and her mother married John Weire. In John Weire’s will he mentions Margaret. (You even mentioned that Honoria had to have been married previously. I believe this daughter is the daughter of Francis Place and assumed the name of Weire.

Honoria Place had three husbands: Francis Place, John Weire, and George Jones.
