Abstract of LW&T of Daniel Welch, dated 23 Feb 1661. From Lancaster Co, VA Loose Wills, Accession No. 1111601, Lancaster Wills, 1653-1699, Page 21-22. Lands to be equally divided between my four children; son Daniel; rest of temporal estate divided into three shares and my wife (not named) to have one share and the rest divided between my four children; oldest daughter Elizab. to Edm: Welch and daughter Ann to Robert (Rowse?); Mr. Richard Parrott and Abraham Weekes my neighbors to be overseers of my children to look after their estates. Witnesses: Rich: Parrot, Robert Taylor.
My thoughts: Elizabeth and Ann were sent elsewhere to live and may not be the children of Daniel's surviving wife. Apparently son Daniel and the unnamed fourth child (Margaret) were to remain with his surviving wife, who was presumably their mother.

14 May 1662: Humphrey Owens and Nicholas Cocke appointed to appraise the estate of Dan: Welsh decd....A probate of the sd will being by the court granted to Robt: Taylor and Margaret his wife, the widd: and relict of the sd Da: Welsh. (Order Book Abstracts of Lancaster Co, VA, 1662-1666, p. 1; Sparacio)

Children Daniel and Margaret received equal shares of their father's land - both receiving half of it. Daughters Elizabeth and Ann apparently died young - or did not leave any heirs.

11 Apr 1666: Ordered by this Cort. that Thomas Chatwyn doe give security according to Acte for the delivery of the Cattle & Tobaccoe belonging to the Orphts. of Dan: Welsh, deced., when they shall come to their respective ages according to an Inventorie thereof under the hands of Mr. Parrott and Mr. Weekes exhibited to the Cort.

(Order Book Abstracts of Lancaster Co, VA, 1662-1666, p. 97; Sparacio)
My thoughts: Parrott and Weekes were the original guardians of the orphans of Daniel Welch. The first entry (8 Feb 1664/5) suggests Tho: Chattin had an interest in the estate by this date

=== Research Notes by Pamela Pearson

I have a copy of his will, which doesn't differ in substance from the abstract by Ida Lee. Robert Taylor gave his "son-in-law" Daniell Welsh the remaining time his servant, J--- Taylor, had to serve; if Daniel died before the time was served, then the remaining time to his wife and "child she goeth with." His "well loved friend" Richard Parrott was asked to look after the same (wife and child) after his decease. Other than the servant, his wife Margaret was given the remainder of his estate - and she was to be his sole executrix.
My thoughts: There is no mention in his will of other children. Perhaps the children you have listed go with a different Robert Taylor. I have also found no mention in the court records re: the guardianship or estate of Robert Taylor's child. His unborn child likely did not survive

From Early Colonial Settlers:
Research Notes by Pamela Pearson

Thomas' first wife was Margaret, widow of Daniel Welch and Robert Taylor. By the time he wrote his will his wife was Elizabeth. I'm not sure when he married Elizabeth. I think Millicent was probably the dau of Thomas and Margaret. Millicent was the name of the wife of Abraham Weekes, a man important to both Thomas Chattin (for transporting him) and to Margaret and her two deceased husbands. Thomas' will suggests Millicent was older than most, if not all, of the other children. Thomas left tobacco to Millicent "if she comes againe," as if she might be living in England. Thomas may have married his 2nd wife around 1668, when he purchased land (his first deed) on the north side of the Rappahannock. The rest of his children seem to be younger, some even minors when he wrote his will in 1697.

6 Oct 1653: Abraham Weeks claimed headrights for transporting three persons into the colony: himself, John Barnis, and Tho: Chatton. (VA Colonial Abstracts, vol. I, Lancaster County Court Orders, 1652-1655, p. 230; Ancestry.com)

8 Feb 1664/5: Two Cowes wth two Bull Calves, 2 steer yerelinges, one red Heyfer of 2 yeres old are paide to Mr. Jo: Appleton, out of the estate of Dan: Welch (deced) for a debt due from the sde Estate to Capt. Peter Jennings by Mr. Rich: Perrott & Abrah: Weekes, Guardians to the sde Children & by Tho: Catwyn wch: are ordered by the Cort. to bee recorded. (Order Book Abstracts of Lancaster Co, VA, 1662-1666, p. 78; Sparacio)

8 Oct 1665: Upon the peticon of Tho: Chatwyn, who marryed the Relict of Da: Welsh (deced), it is ordered that the Estate of the saide Welsh (---) after all debts are satisfied bee equally devided betweene the saide Chatwyn & the Orphts of the saide Welsh by Mr. Richd: Perrott and Mr. Abraham Weekes. (Order Book Abstracts of Lancaster Co, VA, 1662-1666, p. 88; Sparacio)

11 Apr 1666: Ordered by this Cort. that Thomas Chatwyn doe give security according to Acte for the delivery of the Cattle & Tobaccoe belonging to the Orphts. of Dan: Welsh, deced., when they shall come to their respective ages according to an Inventorie thereof under the hands of Mr. Parrott and Mr. Weekes exhibited to the Cort. (Order Book Abstracts of Lancaster Co, VA, 1662-1666, p. 96; Sparacio)

11 Apr 1666: Ordered that ( ) Edward Dale agt. Thomas Bla( ) for 500 lb. of tobacco beinge in full ball: of all accts due from the sde Chatwyn & the Estate of Dan: Welsh and Robt Taylor (deced) to the saide Dale till Novemb: Cort hath past, wch: forthwith: ordered to bee paide wth: costs als execution. (Order Book Abstracts of Lancaster Co, VA, 1662-1666, p. 97; Sparacio)
My thoughts: Parrott and Weekes were the original guardians of the orphans of Daniel Welch. The first entry (8 Feb 1664/5) suggests Tho: Chattin had an interest in the estate by this date.

William and Sarah Stone of the Northern Neck of Virginia, by Bertha C. Chandler

It was to this place that William and Sarah Stone brought their young family and seated their Plantation on Totuskey Creek, Old Rappahannock County.

William Stone bought 200 acres of land on Totuskey Creek from Gyles and Mary Cole on October 20, 1672. (deed book 5, Page 86 & 87, Essex County Court House in Tappahannock, Virginia., for 600 Lbs. of tobacco received from Wm. Stone...a conveyance of 200 acres of land on Totuskey Creek;)

Another deed in Essex County, where the Old Rappahannock County records are kept at Tappahannock, is dated April 3, 1680. On page 105, Robert Bedwell to William Stone....Robert Bedwell of Farnham Parish of Rappahannock County, Planter, with consent of wife, Susanna, and for 250 lbs. sterling paid by William Stone, of Kingston Parish, Gloucester County, Planter, do sell....720 acres in Farnham Parish." April 3, 1680

William and Sarah Stone's homestead on Totuskey Creek was close to the Lancaster County line and not far from North Farnham Church. When the North Farnham Parish Register opens (1663-1814), there was no such Parish. It was simply Farnham Parish and covered both sides of the Rappahannock River in Old Rappahannock County, Virginia. In 1684 Farnham Parish was subdivided into North Farnham Parish and the Rappahannock River as the natural boundary. Then, in 1692 Old Rappahannock County was abolished and became the parent of two new counties, South Farnham Parish fell into Essex County and North Farnham Parish Fell into Richmond County.

Totuskey Creek; an Indian name of unknown meaning, is a big creek, with lots of branches. It arises near the Northumberland County line and flows northerly, then westerly, and finally southwest into the Rappahannock River. I walked along the banks for a ways and stood by the bridge where the Highway #3 crosses it on it's way to Lancaster County; and I thought of these ancestors who, three hundred and thirteen years ago, bought their first land on Totuskey Creek, fought the Indians, cleared the land by girdling the trees like the Indians, and planted their seeds in between the stumps like them. It is really peaceful there. No noise and no one is hurrying. Many families with names familiar to us here also lived along Totuskey Creek, and the Rappahannock River. Along with William and Sarah Stone there was living in the Northern Neck of Virginia in 1680 William, Thomas and John Chandlor; John , William and James Creel; Robert, James and Henry Austin, who also lived on Totuskey Creek. There was Charles and Thomas Dodson; Charles, John, William, and Alexander Fleming; William, John, George, and Robert Taylor; Samuel Godwin, many Turners and Tunes, Many Colemans and Coles, and Pursells and others.

William and Sarah Stone died in Richmond County on Totuskey Creek. His Will was written or dated Nov. 7, 1704 and is recorded in Warsaw in Folio F. 114V and it was recorded on Jan. 31 1707/08. He mentions wife, Sarah, sons Philip and Joshua, son-in-law Robert Schofield, Grandsons Gregory and John Glascock, Daus. Elizabeth and Mary Fann. Exor. Wife.
No Witnesses. He does not mention his youngest son William or his daughter Sarah Glascock, or the daughter who married Robert Schofield.

Recorded in Warsaw in Folio F 113R is a statement of the mother, Sarah Stone, dated Jan. 31, 1707. The old documents are 279 years old now and very hard to read. There was a strong controversy about the Will and it disappeared for a while. Philip Stone was the eldest son and therefore the heir-at-law of his father. William Stone in the Will, says that he has provided for Philip and Joshua, and for the daughters, and it must have been his intent for William II, to have the homestead place after his wife died. After much sorrow, Sarah Stone found the Will and succeeded in getting it on record.

Sarah Stone, wife of William Stone I, died in Richmond County, Virginia. at her homestead on Totuskey Creek about ten years after her husband died. Her Will is dated July 2, 1711 and proven on May 1, 1717. William and Sarah lie buried in one of the old cemeteries along Tutuskey Creek that have long been forgotten, and now lost

William Stone II, youngest son of William and Sarah, was named in his mother's Will as Executor. I do not yet know the parents of Sarah Stone. I'm now studying records of adjoining counties and I hope that some one in some of these old counties will have information for her. She may have been from Gloucester County since they were living there in Kingston Parish in 1679/80 when he bought land on Totuskey Creek from Gyles and Mary Cole in 1672, and he may have gone to Gloucester and married Sarah and then came back to Totuskey Creek with his family. Gloucester County Records are lost but I have found there are some in the counties near by.

I do not know if William Stone I, had a family here or if he was the emigrant. There is a Francis Stone and Col. John Stone in Old Rappahannock County with him, and they witnessed several documents together, but I have no proof of their relationship. Besides the other names of Stones coming to America there were thirteen William's who immigrated to Virginia from England from 1619 until 1666.

William Stone II and Elizabeth, his wife left Richmond County and moved to Amelia County, Virginia in 1740. There is a deed recorded for him in Amelia County Court House at the village of Amelia Court House, Virginia, dated May 15, 1740. In deed Book I, 1735 - 1743, on page 299 - "Deed. Thomas Day of Nottoway Parish, Isle of Wright County, Virginia. to William Stone of North Farnham Parish in Richmond County, Virginia... May 15, 1740"... Consideration (none given), WIT: (none given) 400 acres. Deed Acknowledged by Thomas Day and ordered recorded.
At Court held May 15, 1741. Also, on page 297 is a similar deed, dated May 14, 1741. Thomas Day of Nottoway Parish, Isle of Wight County, Virginia. to William Stone of North Farnham Parish, Richmond, Virginia., Consideration; 17 pounds. Wit: none. 400 acres, Bounded in part by a small branch, the County line, and Birchen Swamp. Deed Ackn. by Thomas Day and ordered recorded at Court held May, 15, 1741....

Amelia County was created by a Legislative Act in 1734, and in 1735, it was formed from Prince George County and Brunswick County. Then in 1754, Prince Edward County was cut off from Amelia, and later in 1789, Nottoway County, was cut off. Amelia County's Court House sits today on a two acre square in the center of the little village of Amelia, Virginia.

Amelia County is about forty miles southwest of Richmond, Virginia in beautiful surroundings, with a pleasant and peaceful way of living, and with a proud respect for their past. The countryside is picturesque, with narrow roads creeping among well-kept houses and barns. The pastures were dotted with mostly black cattle, and they were harvesting soy beans, corn and hay in a very easy moving manner when we were there in October. The same silent-moving Appomattox River that the Indians claimed hunting grounds and fields beside, still cradles the county along most of her boundary.

The soil was rich for growing tobacco when William and Elizabeth Stone moved with their family to Amelia County in search of new land. Neighbors of them went to Amelia with them. Dodsons and Creels went along and had deeds of land in the county.

William and Elizabeth Stone died in Amelia County, Virginia. His will is recorded in Will Book 1 - 1735 - 1761, on page 55, in Amelia County Court House. The Will is dated Dec. 2, 1748, and proven April 21, 1749. Witnesses: Dibdall Holt, Hugh Williams, and Poindexter Mosbey... Exor. son-in-law, William Manire and Joseph Harper. (This Joseph Harper is not the same family as the HARPERS of the Raph HARPER Family, but not proven!!!) Leg.... Land and all my estate in Northern Neck of Virginia be sold and money equally divided between my children, viz.: Anne Manire, Margaret Hammond, Philip Stone, Elizabeth Taylor, Henry Stone, Katherine Stone, Sarah Harper and Lucey Green..... The Will is very long because he then gives directions for each child to have the rent from his Plantation on Nottoway on separate years, and leaves slaves for them, all named...for the son Henry, he says "Son Henry; if William Read, father of my son Henry's Wife refuses giving them a legacy or some assistance towards living, then the horse, saddle and gun given Henry be returned to my other children.... 200 acres to Joshua Hightower. Hightower to pay Exor. 20 Pounds.... William Stone

Most of William and Elizabeth's children had married before they left Richmond County and their husbands and wives moved to Amelia with them. The daughter, Katherine later married Charles Connally after her father's death, but it seems that he went to Amelia County from North Farnham Parish too.

The son, Philip Stone left Amelia County about 1750 and went to Johnston County, North Carolina. In 1750, Philip Stone of Johnston County, N.C. sold land in Amelia County, Virginia, left to him by his father. Ref: Amelia County Deed Book 4 Page 31, 32, 33.
On November 14, 1750, Philip Stone of Johnston County, N.C. conveyed to Charles Connely and wife Katherine 200 acres for 5 shillings...Land left by his father. Ref. ibid., Page 84.
On April 23, 1752.. Conveyed to Charles Connally and Robert Taylor, 100 acres in Nottoway Parish, Amelia County, Virginia. for 16 pounds, were Dibdall Holt now lives, Ref. ibid, Page 33.
