During the Revolutionary War period, houses and property of Quakers were plundered, "chiefly for military requisitions". Twenty Quakers recorded as having "suffered for refusing the test or to contribute for the support of the war". The Blackwater Monthly meeting was more persistent on the tax and test issue than others and consequently suffered more. The monthly meeting books describe this as a " time of calamity and close trial". Examples are: April 4,1806, Exum Bailey reported taken from him by William Harrison, one hat and a gun under the militia law. April 4, 1780, Chappell and Peter Binford reported taken from them, 1 mare, 3 barrels of corn, 1 bed and some furniture for refusal to take "the test" and contribute to the support of the war. April 4,1806, Joseph Sebrell reported taken from him by William Harrison, two wool hats under militia law. In the late 1700s and early 1800s many friends from Blackwater moved into North Carolina and eastern Ohio. In 1770, Pattison, who formed the particular meeting in Amelia, was abandoned as all of the members has migrated with the exception of the William Bott and William Reams families. The Ladd, Sadler, Ward and Durham families formed new congregations in Mecklenburg and Brunswick Counties.

William and Valeria began their life together on the tract which makes up the western half of the Marl Spring Farm, known as the Mill Tract, and later as the Grubbs place. It consisted of nearly 200 acres of woods and fields, most of which had probably become overgrown through years of neglect. It is not clear how they came to own the land. One story is that it had belonged to William's brother, Dr. Gary Cotton, who removed to Texas after the War and left the property to his brother. There were no dwellings remaining on the land, and William and Valeria built a log cabin, which was to serve them as a home for many years.
We know that William Cotton and his young wife Valeria settled on the Mill Tract on the New Design Road as reported earlier. In 1870 the value of their farm is given as a very modest $400 and their personal estate as $100. From the sequence of visitations shown in the report of the Census of 1870, it appears that Eldridge Maddera, his wife Mary, and five children: Mary 18, Eldridge 15, Adelia 13, George 9 and an infant 2 lived next door, perhaps on The Marl Spring Farm. Eldridge's occupation is listed as "lumber dealer". This is confirmed by Valeria's recollection many years later that her father operated a sawmill. No value of land and personal estate is given. | COTTON William Madison (I3019)

William B. Ramey m. Martha Bailey Rogers
According to a write up by Carsley United Methodist Church:
John Nicholas Ramey was born February 6, 1830 and died January 25, 1907. He was the son of W. B. Ramey, Sr.
and Martha Bailey Rogers (daughter of Micajah Rogers) all of Surry County, Virginia.
John Ramey owned a store across from Carsley Church on Route 615. The land across Route 615 where Ramey's Store was built was part of a large parcel of 1375 acres patented by John Parson on January 30, 1736 and ultimately sold to Samuel Adams and then to Miles T. Burgess on August 30, 1833. It then became part of Shady Grove Farm, the original site of Ramey's Store.
(Presently, the Ramey's Store, which was moved next to the Carsley Church, serves as a Sunday School, Bible Study and Fellowship Hall for Carsley Church.)
In the War Between the States, John Ramey was in Company G, 13th Virginia Calvary. He fought in the battle of Fredericksburg, Gettysburg,
Wilderness, Petersburg, and Richmond. He was at Appomatox with General Lee at the surrender.
After the surrender at Appomatox, he brought back to Surry County a wounded Private named Magnus S. Wilcox. Ramey's daughter, Sarah Cornelia eventually married Magnus Wilcox, and they had two sons, John Wilcox, who owned Shady Grove, and Edward Lester Wilcox, who owned Bowling Green. Magnus and Sarah's daughter, Lorina Wilcox who married Jimmy Leath lived at the Ramey family home.
After Magnus Wilcox died, Sarah Cornelia married Mr. Cooper. Their daughter, Susie Cooper married Kelly Bishop. | COOPER Susie (I5859)

William Booth was probably another son of Robert Armistead, the clerk. He sat on the York County Bench of Justices as early as 1677. His wife was Margaret and he had a daughter Elizabeth who was second wife of Capt. Robert Armistead, having previously married Capt. William Sheldon. Her children were Booth, Robert and Angelica. No doubt Katherine's Grandmother Margaret was like Anne, the mother of Captain Armistead's first wife, a daughter of Col. James Bray. Apparently two Bray sisters married two Booth brothers, and Captain Robert Armistead married successively the granddaughter and great-granddaughter of Col. James Bray. | ARMISTEAD Robert Booth (I1846)

William Ellis and Martha Ellis were second cousins, once removed.
From The Ellis Line From Surry-Sussex, Virginia (1978) by Dixie L.McCrary, page 163: "The will of William Ellis, Jr., dated 3 Jan. 1808,pr. 4 Feb. 1808 (Will Bk. G, p. 116), left his plantation (446 acres) tohis wife, Patty, for her lifetime or widowhood, and for the support oftheir children (not listed by name). Instructions were given for use orhire of his nine negroes (listed by name). His Brother, Wright Ellis,named as Excr., and guardian of 'all my children.' Following the deathof Wright Ellis (c. 1821), John Velvin became the guardian of the children, Thomas and Patsey Ellis. An account of Patsey Ellis, orphan ofWilliam Ellis, dec'd, shown on p. 71, Guardian Accounts, 1821-1834,mentions her brothers, James and Archer. The names of the children ofWilliam and Martha Ellis are established from deed of 30 Mar. 1829(Sussex Deed Bk. P)." Also from above source: "The will implies that all of the children wereunder age in 1808, and it is supposed none was born before 1788. Censusrecords indicating approximate years of birth have been found for allexcept Caleb, probably the eldest and possibly born in 1788." | ELLIS William, Sr. (I12477)

William Franklin Harrison was just 34 almost 35 when his wife died. He had 6 young children and his widowed mother in his house hold. He may have had a sister in the household. His sister and mother did help him with the children. They were all recovering from the Civil War. If his wife's grave is unmarked, it would be understandable that he did not purchase a stone. | CLARY Ella May (I10443)

William Harris, son of Captain Thomas Harris and only brother of Thomas Harris, Jr. who died in 1679 was born in 1629 . According to a deposition, he was a Justice of Henrico , member of the House of Burgesses, 1652, 1653, 1656 and 1658. In December 1656, he was appointed major of the Henrico and Charles City Malitia Regiment. He married Lucy Stewart and made his will April 20, 1678, probated February 1, 1 678/79.n He named his eldest son Thomas as heir and making provision for two infant sons named William and Edward, both by second wife, Alice.
It has been circulated for many years that Thomas Harris who died in Henrico County, Virginia in 1729/30 was the son of Major William Harris. A careful study of Henrico County records will show that this is untrue. This Thomas Harris was the brother of Maj. William Harris. The Thomas Harris who died in 1679 was the unmarried brother of Major William Harris.
His will names only three sons for Major William Harris; Thomas, William and Edward. The will does not mention any daughters or other sons. It does appear that Major Harris was married twice. Son Thomas, in the will, appears to be older that William and Edward. Thomas was probably the son of the first wife.

There is a 943 page book on the Ligon Family of Virginia titled: "The Ligon Family and Connections" by William D. Ligon, Jr. In this book Chapter XXII, Pages 837 to 852 is devoted specially to the Harris Family of Virginia. This connection is because of the fact that Capt. Thomas Ligon married Mary Harris around 1650 in Henrico Co., VA.
On page 844 it indicates that Major William Harris born 1629, Justice of Henrico Co. Member of the House of Burgesses married Lucy ?. His will was proved in Henrico on Feb 1 , 1678. He had issue as follows: ? daughter, William, Edward, Thomas and Timothy.
This book also indicates that Thomas Harris, son of Major William died around June 1730 was married to a woman named Mary ? and they had 7 children as follows: Sarah, Mary, Edith, Ann, Phoebe, Thomas, and Francis.
Major William Harris did have an older brother named Thomas Harris who born around 1627 and did die unmarried around June 1769. A copy of this book is currently available for review in the Library of Virginia.
William Harris is listed as an Ancient Planter from Henrico County, Virginia. His qualification - he was a member of the House of Burgesses in 1658 and he was a landowner in 1658 on Jamestowne Island.
According to Jamestowne Society, and Ancient Planter were those who had purchased at least one share of stock at 12Pounds 10 Shillings in the Virginia Company of London, who went from England into Virginia with the intent to remain/inhabit there, all before the recall of Governor Thomas Dale in 1616, and who had remained in the Colony for at least three years. These persons were to receive upon the first Divident (division of Company lands in one of the four Boroughs, i.e., James City, Charles City, Kiccotan/Elizabeth City , and Henrico), to individuals 100 acres for every share of stock purchased. Those so qualified who had come to Virginia at their own expense were to be exempt from military service and from taxes, except Church duties. Those who also qualified but had come to the Colony at Company's expense , were required to pay annually a fee rent of one shilling for each fifty acres acquired. Over time, it was intended these fee rents would reimburse the Company for the cost of each such planter's transportation. Of course, the rules changed dramatically in 1624 when King James withdrew the Company's Charter and Virginia became a Royal Crown Colony. A list of Virginia's Ancient Planters with their dates of arrival may be found in, Nugent, M.N., Cavaliers and Pioneers, Richmond, 1934, rep. G.P.C., Balt., 1963, Vol. I , pp xxviii through xxxiv.
First wife, the mother of Thomas Harris is unknown; Second Wife, Alice had three known children, William Edward and Love. Father was Thomas Harris and mother Joane?? Source: Adventurers of Purse and Person, 1987, pp. 354-361.
Major William Harris was in the Virginia General Assembly.
On the advice of Abraham Wood, the Assembly promoted William from captain to major of the militia regiment of Henrico and Charles City counties in 1656. Generally a militia unit came from a single county but the population was so sparse then that two were combined.
Major William Harris married first Lucy, by whom he had a son Thomas Harris and reportedly a daughter about whom we have no information.
William married a second time to Alice. William and Alice were the parents of sons, William and Edward Harris and maybe a third son. Their daughter was Love who Thomas Harris identified as his "sister-in-law (half-sister)" in his will.
According to a patent issued to Mr. Thomas Gagecomb in 1664 , Major William Harris bought 150 acres from Martha Edes and sold it to Gagecomb in 1663. In 1663 Major Harris secured a patent to 450 acres in Henrico County for nine headrights. The property, called "Slashes," was on the north side of the James River near Four Mile Creek. Two years later , on June 2, 1665, George Archer obtained a patent to land next to "Major William Harris." On September 7, 1671, Be rkeley granted Harris 1,202 acres for twenty headrights. The land, called "The Ware," was next to lands belonging to the orphans of Joseph Tanner, William Baugh, Thomas Ligon , and William Farrar. Among the twenty headrights were nine of the 1663-patent.
On September 7, 1671, Sir William Berkeley granted Major William Harris more than 1,200 acres on the north side of the James River in Henrico County, Virginia. This land was next to the land of Thomas Ligon, William Farrar, William Baugh Jr. and the Tanner family. The land was for the transportation of twenty people to Virginia. His neighbor, William Baugh Jr., was the father of Priscilla Baugh who married William Farrar. It was William Farrar who later married Mary (Tanner) Ligon.
Governor Berkeley planned to explore the South and West regions of Virginia in 1669 but frequent rains kept him home . The next year he sent an exploration party under the command of Major William Harris. A member of the party, John Lederer, a German, kept a diary in Latin. Translations of his diary are in the Virginia State Library. Harris's party first visited the chief village of the Monocans, which spread about three miles along the south bank of the Jame s River, in the present county of Powhatan. The site is still known as Manakin Town. Taking a course due westward from there, the party traveled several days until they came to the country of the Mahocks. They feared an attack from the hostile Indians and all but Lederer returned home. He continued with a single Indian guide. On October 3, 1670, the Charles City paid Major William Harris L25, Lt. Thomas L gon Jr. L10, and his soldiers, two shillings, six pence per day for services in the "Western Discovery."
On March 17, 1664/65, William Harris sold "Curles" to Roger Green, a merchant. A portion of "Curles," the Harris plantation, consisted of 820 acres originally patented by Thomas Harris in 1638. Roger Green sold this portion of the estate to Thomas Ballard in September 1668. Neither Green nor Ballard lived at "Curles." Thomas Ballard was a member of Virginia's prestigious Governor's Council.
On August 28, 1674, Ballard sold "Curles" to Nathaniel Bacon. Nathaniel had just arrived in Virginia with L1,800 in his pocket. With him was his wife, Elizabeth, a relation of Royall Governor William Berkeley. They immediately appointed him a member of the Governor's Council and granted him a license to participate in the lucrative Indian trade monopoly. Nathaniel built his home at "Curles" and maybe he took advantage of some structures put up by Captain Thomas Harris.
Mary (Harris) Ligon, the wife of Thomas Ligon continued to own 200 acres of the original "Curles" plantation. She left this land to her son, Hugh Ligon. Her son, Major William Ligon, Sr. also owned part of the original "Curles" property. Consequently, they were neighbors of Nathaniel during the rebellion.
Following Bacon's Rebellion, King Charles II proclaimed a pardon of the rebels. Yet Governor Berkeley, the ever strict disciplinarian, ignored the pardon and seized the estates of those whom he had hung or thought participated in the rebellion. William Randolph was then the local escheater and it was his duty to retrieve for the Crown land belonging to criminals or those who died without heirs in the Colony. Evidently not one to miss a land grab opportunity, Randolph secured a patent for 1,230 acres in Henrico County on May 7, 1700. This tract had belonged to Nathaniel Bacon "...from whom it escheated by his attainder for high treason, as by inquisition under William Randolph, Esch'r..." and included 480 acres "...called 'Curles' and formerly 'Long Field' being part of patent to Thomas Harris..."
The King sent a commission to investigate the consequences of the rebellion and the commission ordered an inventory of all the seized estates. In May 1677 they inventoried "Curles." The inventory is interesting because it showed how Captain Thomas and his son may have lived. Bacon's widow was then living in a "small, new, brick house." It had a "brick cellar" in which were stored various barrels, hogsheads, stoneware jugs, twenty-seven bushels of bay salt, and two good powdering tubs, used for salting fish and meat. The cellar apparently served as a wine cellar, too. The first floor contained, among other things, a feather bed , pillows, bolsters and drapery, along with trunks, drawers , dressing boxes, mirrors, warming pan, family portraits , a large Bible and a small table with six chairs. The remainder of the rebel's way of life was a basket of "eight hand grenades with iron shells loaded and fitted."
Upstairs was another feather bed, perhaps for guests. Mostly, however, there was stored material. Listed were four " New Hatchetts," a desk with five quires of paper, trunks, sewing and spinning tools and materials, books, the pewter , chamber pots and basins, kitchen utensils, candle sconces , hunting and fishing tools and supplies, and most of the plantation hardware. Bacon was an Indian trader and found upstairs were buckskins, raccoon skins, forty gross of buttons and "1 red cloth fringed with silk for the Indian weare."
The "old hall" was beside the brick house. This was probably the timber frame house where Thomas and William Harris lived. It perhaps served as Nathaniel's living room. He furnished it with, among other things, two tables, eight large chairs, andirons, and a very fine "Turkey" carpet. Two rooms were above a separate kitchen. One room was for storage and the other was the "Negro woman's room." Adjoining the kitchen was a blacksmith's shop with "yards of steele. " Bacon's only white servant was a Dutch blacksmith who we presume made many metal tools found elsewhere on the plantation. He lived in the sparsely furnished "quarter" adjoining the kitchen and his shop.
A "little wooden house" contained Indian trade material, carpenters' tools, agricultural tools, guns, shot, and other sundry items. A wash house that seemed to have doubled as a brew house completed the enumerated structures. There were "much other good wood buildings" mentioned in the inventory.
In 1987 the Archaeological Research Center of Virginia Commonwealth University excavated "Curles." Their study revealed more details about the property. The main house appears to have burned in the late 17th century. The floor of the house was tiled and the roof consisted of terra cotta tiles with thick lead flashing. Casement windows consisted of iron and marked "1647 John Mason of Bristol Fecit." Walls and ceilings were of plaster and the exterior had ornamental brickwork.
In 1661 the clerk of Charles City County, Virginia recorded the following in his official report.
Governor ffrancis Moryson is appointing Coll. Abram Wood, L t. Coll. Thomas Dewe, Major William Harris, Captain John Eppes, Captain William ffarar, Peter Jones, Captain Edd Hill Junr. and Captain ffrancis Grey to be Commanders of the Regiment of the trayned bands in the Counties of Henrico and Charles City.
The Majors companie to be from Powells Creek in Henrico Coun. to the falls of James River on the South side & hence of and Curles plantation to four mile Creeke.
Major William Harris & Capt. William ffarrar of Henrico Militia are to give & present an accot of their proceedings in all the places under their bands (together with the general lists) will all possible speed to Coll Abraham Wood Esq . att ffort Henry, and to be very wary and circumspect that no ammunition be spent or waste at the said musters but only false fires to be given to prove readiness of their guns.
Notes:
Captain William ffarar was Capt. William Farrar, and Captain Peter Jones, after a later promotion, was Maj. Peter Jones I, the father of Capt. Peter Jones II who married Mary Batte.
In 1678, Major William Harris and Colonel Francis Epes were in command of a militia of "trayned hands" near present-day Richmond when an Indian raiding party came from the North. A letter from John Banister of April 6, 1679 described the events.
...Last Summer they made several Incursions among the Inhabitants on the Heads of Rapahannock, York & Our (i.e.) James River destroying their cattle, rifling their houses, & killing and carrying away some Families. But tho' we were sufferers in our Stocks & Cropps, & some of the loss of house hold goods also, & (blessed be God) none of us lost our lives. One Coll Epes indeed was killed who with some Forces rais'd in Our (i.e.) Henrico County, came in pursuit of them two days after the mischief was done. They found them Shut up in a Cornfield belonging to the Upper Plantations on the North-side of ye River, & had they been but half so courageous as they were cautios might have cut them all off together.
But while one durst not shoot nor the other for want of extent of Commission & for fear of breach of Peacd, out get the Indians, gain the clear'd ground & fire on them. The Coll. paid dear for his deliberation, he was shot in the throat by an Indian at least 200 paces distant. We lost another stout man at the same time, one Major Harris, who rashly pursuing the flying Enemy with a Pistol only in his hand & that too discharg'd was shot and died a Martyr to his foolhardiness. The Indian that shot him was kill'd & one woman taken prisoner, ye rest escap'd over the River...
William's will dated April 20, 1678, proved February 1, 1678/79, is a little peculiar and he may have written it on the day of his departure. In it William named his eldest son and heir, Thomas, and made provisions for his two younger sons by his second wife, Alice. Witnesses were Richard Ligon and Ann Stewart. Francis Epes and John Worsham valued his personal property at L1,095 (Pounds) on October 7, 16 78. His sons were to come of age at nineteen if his widow did not remarry. Otherwise, she could release them at age sixteen.
Alice later married George Alves (d. 1734) of New Kent County, later St. Paul's Parish of Hancover County. Alves paid quit rents on 325 acres in New Kent County in 1704. He was a vestryman of St. Paul's Parish (1705) and evidently a very prominent man in the community.
George and his stepsons, William and Edward Harris, kept pushing ahead of the settlers. They selected patents for land along the Anna and Little Rivers and on the branches of Cub Creek. Between 1692 and 1732, George secured patents for nearly 10,000 acres in New Kent County and Hanover County : 653 acres in 1692, 1,014 acres in 1700, 767 acres in 1700, 4843 in 1714, 400 acres in 1723, 1200 acres in 1725, and 400 acres in 1731. George and Alice may have returned to England for they were on the list of headrights when George secured a patent for some land in 1700.

William Henry Cotton 1795 - 1842
William Henry Cotton was the only son of Gary and Nancy Anne (Harrison) Cotton. He was born about 1795 and was but 10 years old when his father died. It seems clear that he inherited the same plantation which his father, Gary, had inherited from his grandfather, Richard. Four of the slaves named in William Henry Cotton's will in 1842 are the same as those named in the inventory of the estate of his father thirty-seven years later.
He married Sarah "Sally" Weathers Parsons on 3/7/1816. They were both about 21 years old. She was the daughter of Henry Parsons (1749-? ) and his second wife Hannah Stacy (1769-1826), whom he married in 1793. Her half brother was Col. William Parsons, who had been a captain in the Continental Cavalry and was a prominent figure in Sussex County. The Parsons were also very early settlers in the Virginia Colony | COTTON William Henry (I3022)

William M. Cotton's father died in 1842, when William was 16 years old. His brothers and sister were apparently also underage. In his will he leaves one-third of his estate to his beloved wife, Sally Cotton, and two thirds to his four children, to be divided equally among them. He specifically leaves one negro girl, Mason, to William Madison; another, Harriet Jones, to daughter Caroline; and still another, Viney, to Gary. He then specifies that each of the three negro girls shall be loaned to his beloved wife until each of the children shall arrive to lawful age or marry.
The inventory of William Henry Cotton's estate taken on the 15th of December 1842 indicates that this was a family of some wealth. In addition to four pages of personal possessions, farming implements and stored crops, twenty four slaves are listed by name: Allen, Willis, Jim, Hubbard, Isham, Jacob, Jesse, John, Dick, Henry, Little Harriet, Liza, Dolly, Sarah, Malinda, Lewis, big Harriet and her 3 children Mary Chesman and Samson, Viney, Harriet Jones and Mason. The slaves are valued at $5275, the rest of his possessions at $1877. Land and buildings are not included in the inventory. They must have been substantial to support such a large number of people.
He did leave a will dated 10/4/1842, two months before it was probated. His wife Salty is named executor. The provisions of the will are as follows:
William Madison Cotton - One negro girl named Mason(?). To him and his heirs forever.
Daughter Caroline ~ One negro girl named Harriet Jones to her and her heirs forever.
Cory - One negro girl named Viney to him and his heirs forever.
Item: It is my will and desire that the three negro girls to wit Mason, harriet Jones and Viney disposed of above be loaned to my beloved wife until each one of my children named above shall arrive to lawful age or marry.
Item: I leave to my beloved wife Sally Cotton my watch and at her death to my son Cory. Item: It is my will and desire that the remainder of my estate be equally divided into three parts; one-third part of which I loan to my beloved wife Sally Cotton during her life, the other two-thirds to be equally divided between my son Albert R. Cotton, William M. Cotton, Caroline Cotton and Cory Cotton to them and their heirs forever.
The inventory of the estate included 23 slaves: Lewis, John, Sarah and Dolly, who were inherited from his father, plus Allen, Willis, Jim, Hubbard, Isham, Jacob, Jessee, Dick, Henry, Little Harriet, Liza, Dolly, Malinda, Viney, Harriet Jones, Big Harriet and her three children Mary, Cheeseman and Samson. The total value of the slaves was estimated at S 5275. Livestock, stored crops, farm equipment and supplies were valued at $ 1014. Furniture and personel possessions had a total value estimated at $ 261. Household items of significant value included a sideboard $ 40,dining tables $ 25, three beds at $ 25 each, one bed at $ 15, a trundle bed $ 3, a watch $ 25, a large pine chest $15, buffet $ 8, etc. The plantation was first and foremost a business enterprise. What we do not see is value of land and buildings, slave cabins, etc. Why this is so is not clear to me.
Between the death of William Henry Cotton in 1842 and the Civil War we have no information about the family. We do not know whether the plantation was sold and the proceeds divided among the children. We do not know what education they received. William Madison Cotton is said to have been a teacher, but where and of what we do not know. Gary Cotton became a doctor, and was a surgeon in the Army of the Confederacy. We know nothing of the lives of Albert and Caroline Cotton.
