The Watts On-line Issue No. 53 October 17,1998

Sir Wm. Berkeley, etc... to Jno. Foxhall 314 acres of land in Westmoreland County in the body of the main forest betwixt the headbranches of Potomack and Rappa beginning at the line of Lt. Col. Jno. Washingtons land extending E 26 poles to a red oak a corner tree of Jno. Pipers from thence S. 320 poles to Spanish oak another corner tree of the said Pipers and thence E 200 poles to a red oak standing in the line of the land of MR. JOHN WATTS then S ? poles along the said MR. JOHN WATTS his line thence E 200 poles along the said Mr. Watts line thence S 50 poles thence W 426 poles to a red oak standing near Ned the Indians path thence N 550 poles to the place begun...23 day of October 1669.

Consequently, in the fall of 1669 John Willis, John Washington, John Piper, John Foxhall, Phillip Browne, Nathaniel Pope, Robert Nurse, and JOHN WATTS owned tracts between the Potomac and Rappahannock rivers near Ned the Indian's path (possibly the same as Wariscreek or Warisquock path) and Powetridge (which was found with a variety of spellings ...I suspect that it may have been named because it was a convenient route for portaging between the Rappahannock and Potomac Rivers....

WATTS's tract at the head of Mattox Creek was orignally patented by Nathaniel Pope Sr. who willed it to his son Nathaniel (father of Nathaniel Pope alias Bridges) who sold it to Watts in 1665. WATTS then sold half of it to Thomas Wilford who died in 1666, Metes and bounds given in the patents indicate that the western boundary of WATTS' tract joined John Piper and that the southern boundary of WATTS' tract joined John Foxhall. WATTS and Willis lived within two or three miles of each other, but WATTS' land lay on the dividing ridge and was mostly in Westmoreland County where records for this tract are found.

Note:
From your notes for William Marshall II it sates that the Will of William Marshall was proven by the oath of Sarah Dixon(late Sarah Turner).

I don't know if you have seen this tree that shows Sarah Turner married to Edward Dixon. (ok up to this point but after this I just don't know) It goes on to show that Sarah Turner's father was Thomas Turner that had a sister Anne Turner that married William Marshall that was also married to Elizabeth Williams. They seem to believe that William II KGC was the same William that married Elizabeth Williams.

On the right hand side it should have the testator's signature. It was signed with an "X" with the words "her" above the "X" and "mark" below the "X." On the copy of the deed that I have the "X" was in between Mary and Murdock, i.e. "Mary X Murdock".

In the name of God amen.

Imprimis. It is my Will and desire that in this my last Will and Testament my Wife, my Daughter Betsy Murdock Riding, & the Child that my wife is now big with, shall inherit equally of what I now possess, of what kind soever.

Item. It is my Will and desire that should either my wife or the two children above mentioned die without lawful heirs that then the surviving two shall share equally my whole possession of ev'ry kind.

Item, It is my Will and desire, should both of my said children die without lawful heirs, that then my Wife have all my Estate during her natural life, and after her decease and the decease of the two above mentioned children without lawful heirs, that then it is my Will and desire that my Estate be equally divided between the sons then living of Daniel Lovell lawfully begotten in my mother Elizabeth Lovell and further it is my Will and desire that all Debts that may be due or hereafter become due to me when collected shall be equally divided between my two children above mentioned or the survivor of them and in case each of them should die without lawful Issue, that then my wife shall have and enjoy the money arising from my Debts as aforesaid, and dispose of in such manner as she shall think proper and

** Salley Riding is the daughter of Joseph Murdock and Mary Tankersley Murdock.
Mary Murdock in her will dated October 5, 1783 names her daughter, Sarah Riding and her child. Joseph Murdock's will dated October 11, 1769 refers to his daughter, Sally.

Note: In transcribing a will, I have opted not to use the abbreviations used in the recorded will either because the abbreviation may not make sense to someone reading my transcription or the abbreviations were superscripted. An example of a superscripted abbreviation would be a letter with either a period or some other letter or symbol beneath the superscript letter, for instance "sd.", the d would be superscript with a period underneath or "Testamt.", the t would be superscript with a period underneath. These two words are "said" and "testament." If I thought the abbreviation would make sense to someone reading my transcription or if I could not translate the abbreviation, then I did the best I could to copy it exactly. Other than translating the abbreviations, I have tried to transcribe the document exactly as recorded. If I could not transcribe it then I placed a (?) to so indicate.

1692-1694 Westmoreland County, Virginia Order Book, Part 2 [John Frederick Dorman]; Page 107 [28 Sept. 1693]
Samuel Baker was attached to answer Jno. Suttle of a plea why hee by force and arms &c into and upon a certain messuage plantation and tract of land the freehold of said John scituate on Nomony containing 154 acres hath unlawfully entered. John complains that whereas Wm. Strather late of the county aforesaid being in his lifetyme seized of 154 acres as by deed of sale from Majr. Thomas Youell to him dated 25 March 1691 may appeare, and Wm. dying without issue the land descended to Mary the sister and sole heire of Wm., and John haveing intermarried with Mary who is now liveing John became seized in the freehold of the land. Nevertheless, Samll. hath upon the land by force of arms unlawfully entered and doth detaine and keep to the damage of John 20,000 pounds of tobacco.
The defendant by Willoughby Allerton his attorney saith that the declaration is for the most part false, untrue and insufficient in law. The defendant saith that true it is that Wm. Stradder of Nominy was in his life tyme seized of 154 acres and Wm, died without issue, having no other kindred than Mary, sister of the half blood, with whom the complainant hath intermarried. And whereas the complainant hath declared Mary to bee sister and sole heire of Straddor, the defendant doth avers to be false for by the common law none can bee heir to a fee simple but hee that hath sanguinem duplicatum and consequently Mary, being but sister of the half blood to Straddor can bee no heir to him. And whereas Straddor died without issue and having no other relation than Mary, the lands were falen into the hands of the Lord of the Fee as escheat lands by vertue of which the defendant hath entered an escheat in the office of the said Lord, notwithstanding the complainant to trouble and vex the defendant hath brought this action to the damage of the defendant 12,000 pounds of tobacco, for which he prays judgment. And for that the plaintiff would not further prosecute, upon the motion of the defendant by his attorney a nonsuite is granted him.¹

* This could be Howe or Hews, but I cannot be certain.
** This is a superscripted c with a period underneath.

Note: In transcribing a will, I have opted not to use the abbreviations used in the recorded will either because the abbreviation may not make sense to someone reading my transcription or the abbreviations were superscripted. An example of a superscripted abbreviation would be a letter with either a period or some other letter or symbol beneath the superscript letter, for instance "sd.", the d would be superscript with a period underneath or "Testamt.", the t would be superscript with a period underneath. These two words are "said"
and "testament." If I thought the abbreviation would make sense to someone reading my transcription or if I could not translate the abbreviation, then I did the best I could to copy it exactly. Other than translating the abbreviations, I have tried to transcribe the document exactly as recorded. If I could not transcribe it then I placed a (?) to so indicate.

Summary The certificates issued by the commissioners of the provision law include date, a description of the item impressed including its value, and the name of the owner of the item. Court booklets and lists compiled by the county courts contain excerpts from the court proceedings and lists of authenticated certificates. The commissioner’s books recorded the date payment was authorized, the name of the claimant, and a description of the property.

Biog./Hist. Note During its session begun in May 1780 the General Assembly passed an act authorizing the governor to impress supplies needed by the American army. The governor appointed commissioners of the provision law in each locality to carry out the terms of the act. The commissioner, when he impressed property, gave the owner a certificate describing what was taken. Between 1781 and 1783 county courts held special sessions at which certificates were presented and authenticated, and booklets listing authenticated certificates were compiled and sent to Richmond for settlement. Two commissioners appointed to settle the claims recorded those for which they authorized payment, and warrants were issued by the auditor of public accounts.

"At a Court held for King George County on Fryday January 5th, 1749" [I believe this should read '1750' as it records the presentation of the will to court after Joshua's death].
"The Last Will and Testament of Joshua Farguson, Deceased, was presented in Court by Anne Farguson his Executrix who made oath thereto and the same was proved by the oathes of the witnesses thereto and admitted to record, the said Executrix having with Joshua Farguson entered into Bond in the sum of Four hundred Pounds for the same.

FARGUSON, JOSHUA (d.t., 1749/50). COB#2, Page 649 : 5 January 1749/ 1750 = The Testament of Joshua Farguson, deceased, was admitted to probate and his daughter and exexutrix, Anne Farguson, gave bond in the sum of £400 for her proper executorial duties with Joshua Farguson, Junr her security. Josiah Farguson, the executor appointed in the will of the testator, refused to take the oath as such. [BB#3, Page 95] While the order of probate directed that the estate of Joshua Farguson, deceased, be appraised I have no reference to his inventory being filed. However, in Fiduciary Account Book #3, Page 123, there is a settlement and division of the estate of Joshua Farguson, deceased, per order of court 6 December 1759 and recorded 3 July 1760, but the record is disappointing as the heirs of Joshua Farguson are not detailed.

* This could be Howe or Hews, but I cannot be certain.
** This is a superscripted c with a period underneath.

Note: In transcribing a will, I have opted not to use the abbreviations used in the recorded will either because the abbreviation may not make sense to someone reading my transcription or the abbreviations were superscripted. An example of a superscripted abbreviation would be a letter with either a period or some other letter or symbol beneath the superscript letter, for instance "sd.", the d would be superscript with a period underneath or "Testamt.", the t would be superscript with a period underneath. These two words are "said"
and "testament." If I thought the abbreviation would make sense to someone reading my transcription or if I could not translate the abbreviation, then I did the best I could to copy it exactly. Other than translating the abbreviations, I have tried to transcribe the document exactly as recorded. If I could not transcribe it then I placed a (?) to so indicate.

The will of W. Marshall dated 24 Jul 1746, King George Co., bequeathed to his daughter Elizabeth "a mulatto named Sarah to be delivered on the day of her marriage."

My records include a mortgage dated 9 May 1753 to John Rankins, carpenter of Hanover Par., King George, to William Bruce, "a mulatto slave named Sall or Sarah." KGCo DB 4:36. I take that as evidence that JOHN Rankins married Elizabeth Marshall.¹

Note:
Capt Thomas Lucas arrived in Va about 1641 from Surrey, Eng. He was one of the early settlers to Va. Records show he patented lands in Gloucester Co, Virginia, as early as 1645 in which he is styled as Thomas Lucas, Gentleman. He was Burgess of Rappahannock Co, Virginia where he settled in 1657 or 1658; was a Justice and occupied many offices of trust and distinction. He is believed to have been of the same family as Sir Thomas Lucas, Justice of Surrey and Middlesex, and a descendant of Baron Lucas of Crudwell, Eng, of the 24th Century. He is said to have been a man of wealth, for in his will he leaves family jewels of diamond rings and pearl necklaces. (See Amer of Gentle Birth by Pittman & Walker vol 1, p 68.) This Capt Thomas Lucas was closely associated with Colonel John Catlett and Ralph Rowzee in bringing persons to Va "to inhabit," in this new colony and for this they were awarded a great deal of land. Captain Lucas mar first in Eng and records show he brought his wife, his son T! homas Lucas, Jr., and a dau Mary to Va. He later mar Mrs. Margaret Upton, widow of Capt John Upton of Rappahannock Co, Virginia. (See Amer of Gentle Birth vol 1, p 68.)

Capt Thomas Lucas of Sittingbourn Par, Rappahannock Co, Virginia, made his last will 14 Oct 1669 proved in that county 27 May 1674 in which he leaves all of his property to his son Thomas Lucas, Jr; he also mentions his sons-in-law, Col John Catlett and Capt Thomas Hawkins and his grand dau Mary Hawkins. (See Wills of Rappahannock Co, Virginia p 25, which wills are preserved in the Court House at Tappahannock, County seat of Essex County, Virginia.) Records of Va show his son Thomas Lucas, Jr., born about 1630; an inventory of his estate in Va is dated 1724.

In the last will of Capt Thomas Hawkins made 8 Feb 1675 proved in Rappahannock Co, Virginia 20 Jan 1677 he names his wife as Frances; his brother (in-law) Samuel Blomfield as Execs; his sons as Thomas and John; to his dau Elizabeth Hawkins he leaves a diamond ring and pearl necklace which belonged to his former wife and if Elizabeth dies before she is 16 then this jewelry to go to his dau Hannah Hawkins. (See Wills of Rapp Co, p 63.)

Ralph Rowzee, mentioned above as one of the associates of Capt Lucas and Col John Catlett, is said to have been a son of Lodowick Rowzee (Rowzie) b 1590 in Eng, "Doctor of Physic" and a resident of Ashford, Kent, Eng, who mar 19 Sept 1626 Mary Catlett, widow of John Catlett, late of Sittingbourne Par, Benchley, Kent, Eng. Ralph Rowzee was a half-brother of Col John Catlett.

"A statement in the Lancaster court records, Dec. 8, 1656, shows that 'Mr. James Williamson late of this county, died intestate and administration was granted in behalf of the orphans to MR. WILLIAM UNDERWOOD, who was UNCLE to said orphans on the MOTHER'S SIDE." The record fails to name the orphans, but deeds in old Rappahannock records show that three of them were William, Margaret, and Mary Williamson of Rappahannock."
