Will: 10 SEP 1751 Albermarle Co. VA
Note: ....being sick and weak of body...' and bequeathed to his loving grandson John Brock,son of Georg Brock II part of his plantation of 95 acres, plus cattle...and the remainder to his 'friend,' John Melton in consideration of John Melton taking care of George during his life.Geroge Brock made his mark, 'gB.'
Event: granted two patents signed by Governor Spotswood Misc 1719 New Kent Co. VA
Note: one for transporting himself, the other for being transported by JohnSims; 300 acres on the West Branch of Stonehouse Creek.
Event: granted a patent for 95 acres on both sides of Bremore Creek near the head Misc 20 AUG 1748 Albermarle Co. VA
Event: conveyed in a Deed of Gift,all his estate to his wife Katharine "without and TROUBLE from any person Misc 29 NOV 1749 Albermarle Co. VA
Note:
This indenture was for consideration of the love and affection which hebore her of ALL his estate of whatever kind during her life. This Deed of Gift was in lieu of Katharine receiving dower rights in George Brock's estate.
This implies she was NOT his first wife and there could be trouble from the children of his first wife. However, it appears that Kathryn died or left the house, as three years later, George Brock wrote a will saying he was sick and bequeathed to his loving grandson, John Brock, the son of George Brock II, part of his plantation of 95 acresand the residue to his friend, John Melton in consideration of the care he had given to George. patrick Napier witnessed both the deed and the will.

John was a miller and a millwright, so it's probable that he did not arrive as an indentured servant. It's also probable that his father and grandfather were also millers and millwrights and that this talent was passed along to John. Later generations of John Baird's descendants built and operated mills in Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky and Texas. | Capt. BAIRD John (I84)

Marriage 1 Spouse Unknown
Married: ABT 1661 in Virginia
Note: This marriage is speculative, based on several factors.
Note:
There is speculation, but no direct evidence, that Nicholas married twice and that his oldest child, Elizabeth, was the daughter of the first wife. This speculation is based on several indirect lines of evidence. First, we know that Nicholas, at the time of his death, was indeed married to an Elizabeth. She later remarried Col. William Browne and had a child, also named Elizabeth. This child was named by Henry Hartwell as "a niece of my wife...", along with all the other children of Nicholas except the first child, Elizabeth (Meriwether) Clough Clements. Henry Hartwell's wife was Jane (?) White Hartwell, who many early genealogies state was Jane Meriwether, sister to Nicholas. However, if she was sister to Nicholas, Elizabeth Browne, daughter of William Browne and Elizabeth (?) Meriwether Browne, would not be a niece! This strongly suggests that Elizabeth (?) Meriwether Browne and Jane (?) White Hartwell are sisters. It is assumed that Henry Hartwell would not mention Elizabeth (Meriwether) Clough Clements as a niece only because Elizabeth was the daughter of a previous marriage by Nicholas. Additional reasoning can be found in Meriwether Society publications. | Family: MERIWETHER Nicholas, Sr. / MERIWETHER Mrs. --FNU-- --LNU-- (F725)

Teste:Spotswood Garland Clk
Published and declaed in the presence of Charles C. McMullins, Richard Fox Probated:August 24,1835 Nelson Co.,VA
Samuel Fox I, was born in England about the 1730s and came to Virginia while it was still a British colony. The date of his arrival is unknown. It is thought by some Fox researchers that Samuel Fox was sentenced in Middlesex, England in Oct 1758, sentenced to transportation to America in Nov 1758, leaving in early Dec 1758 on the ship "The Brothers" bound for VA, and possibly landing in March or April of 1759. Samuel probably worked as an indentured servant until his first record is found in Dec 1770 in a deed in Amherst Co.,VA.
In a census taken by the Commonwealth of Virginia in 1783, and again in 1785, Samuel Fox was listed as a resident of Amherst County and the head of a family consisting of 11 persons. He was listed as a citizen from Amherst County contributing a blanket for the Continental Army in the Revolutionary War and providing meat. He became one of the early settlers of Western Virginia, when he purchased from James Martin, Jr., a tract of 100 acres "lying and being in Amherst County on PounderBranch" and also a tract or parcel of land containing 88 acres, "lying and being in Amherst County on both sides of Pounder Branch." Pounder Branch is situated near what is now the small town of Afton in what is now Nelson County, VA. Nelson County was formed from Amherst County in 1807. In some deeds of conveyance to Samuel, mention is made of Pounder Branch Mountain, Indian Branch, and "at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains on the waters of Rockfish River."
Three sons of Samuel Fox I moved to what is now West Virginia. Bartlett moved to "the Lively Place in Nicholas County" and later moved to the north side of Elk River in the vicinity of what is now Glendon, Braxton County. John moved to Greenbrier County after his brother William and then on to Fayette County. William moved to the vicinity of what is now Brooks P. O. near Hinton, Summers County, WV, what was then Greenbrier County, WV. The other children of Samuel I and Elizabeth lived and died in Nelson County, Virginia.
Samuel's occupation in 1789 was shown as "planter" according to the deed from James Hulse to him. No information is available concerning any other occupations in which he may have been engaged but he is shown as having blacksmith tools in the appraisal of his estate after his decease.. He and his son Bartlett bought a "mill seat" on Meriwether Branch of Rockfish River.. Samuel Fox II and some of the other descendants that stayed in Nelson Co.,VA operated several mills in Nelson and Albemarle Counties, VA.
Samuel made his will on May 18, 1808, at which time he stated "...being of sound mind and memory but in a weak state of health." The will was probated on September 20, 1808, which would indicated that his death probably occurred in or before September 1808.

Statement of
Significance: This is a typical Tidewater Virginia plantation house of the pre-Civil War era. Constructed in 1836, it is a five bay, central hall, single pile structure of two and one half stories, and exhibits characteristics of the late eighteenth century which remained prevalent in rural southeastern Virginia well into the nineteenth century.
PART I: HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Samuel Booth was a middle class Tidewater Virginia planter who owned 500 acres of farmland eleven miles southwest of the Jams River in Surry County. His father, Beverly Booth, was a Revolutionary War veteran, a farmer, and a Baptist minister who brought his wife and several young children from Southampton to Surry, probably in 1791, and became pastor of the Otterdam Baptist Church. The Rev. Booth had been a part-time pastor of Sea Cock Baptist Church in Southampton until 1791, when he became ordained, and moved to Surry for a church and congregation of his own. (See John Asplundt's Annual Register of the Baptist Denomination in North America to the year 1791, Richmond (?), 1791). Around 1816 Beverly Booth went to Petersburg, Virginia, where he was instrumental in starting the Cypress Swamp Baptist Church. One of his sons, Robert, moved to Georgia in 1814.
Samuel. Booth was born in Surry in 1794, probably attended a local school taught by a member of his father's congregation, and followed the most likely livelihood available to a young man of his upbringing--that of farming. He probably enlisted in the Surry County Militia at an early age, was commissioned a lieutenant in 1827, and was promoted to Captain in the following year (see appendix L). Although all records for the Surry County Militia between 1830 and 1840 have been destroyed, he was most likely promoted to Colonel in the early part at the decade. His obituary (died January 20, 1876) refers to him as Colonel, and his grandchildren, alive as late as 1956, fondly referred to him as "Colonel Sam". Nonetheless when Surry's post 1840 records are surveyed, no mention is made of his name, and it is likely that he retired in order to devote full time to the construction of his home and the development of his plantation.
As a look at the Surry County land Books will attest, Samuel Booth apparently took a fancy to occasionally dabbling in real estate., and by the mid 1830's owned considerable property, some of which he sold, and some of which formed the basis for his plantation. Construction of his house was undertaken on a 172 1/2 acre tract of land, probably in the fall of 1836, and was completed at a cost of $1380, according to the Surry County land Books for the year 1837. As Surry's "Personal Property Tax Books for 1837" note, Samuel Booth was assessed for "20 slaves. 9 horses, and a riding gig valued at $75" during the year "Snow Hill was constructed. When the relatively low cost of the structure is considered, it is reasonable to assume that the slaves played an important role in its construction: felling trees, sawing, hewing, and joining timbers for the frame, and making bricks. Yet, a professional house wright undoubtedly oversaw the over-all construction. Another house, known as "Oak Hill" and situated on Virginia Route 31 between Surry Court House and Scotland Wharf, was undoubtedly built by the same man, and is very similar in plan, detail, and brickwork. Surry County's Land Books for 1840 show that in 1839 additional expenditures amounting to $615. 75 went toward construction, probably dependencies.
According to Booth family tradition, a difficult winter during the construction of the house resulted in the name "Snow Hill", but the earliest documented use of the title is to be found in the 1859 deed of sale transferring the plantation from Samuel Booth to William H. Rood of Southampton. (Surry County Deed Book 14, page (See appendix F).
By 1852, "Snow Hill" had grown to include various adjoining parcels of land containing a. total of exactly 500 acres. Samuel's wife died later in the decade and, with his children grown, he sold the house and surrounding land in 1859 for the sum of $4500. He married a widow from adjoining Sussex County, and went to live with her on the farm she had inherited from her deceased husband.
William H. Hood held the property from 1859 until 1875, when the outcome of a court case decreed the land be sold, and it was purchased by Samuel Booth's son, Binns Beverly Booth, who promptly moved in with his family. Just prior to the death of Binns Beverly Booth, he sold the house and two hundred acres to his son Samuel Peter Booth, a bachelor. "Sam Pete ", as he was known, remained in the house until incapacitated in 1930, at which point he went to live with his nephew, John Leo Wilcox, of Waverly, and later to a nursing home. Tenants inhabited the house from 1930 onward, and the house was willed by "Sam Pete" Booth, upon his death in 1933, to his nephew.
PART II: ARCHITECTURAL INFORMATION
A. General Statement
1. Architectural Character: This is a typical Tidewater Virginia plantation house of the pro-Civil War era which has undergone little alteration since its construction in 1836. It is a five bay, central hall, single pile, two-and-one-half story frame structure, and exhibits characteristics of late 18th century architecture which remained prevalent in rural, southeastern, Virginia well into the 19th century.
2. Condition of Fabric: Good.
B. Description of Exterior
1. General Character: A five bay, two-and-one-half story structure covered by beaded-edge weatherboards, possessing a fine modillion cornice and fielded-panel doors which tell a continuity of architectural tradition in conser-vative, slave-holding, tidewater Virginia.
2. Foundations: The building is set upon brick piers, adequately spaced to allow free circulation of air around the structural timbers--a necessity in the damp, termite filled climate of the tidewater.
3. Brickwork: All brickwork, both in the foundation walls and in the chimneys, is laid in five course American bond. Bricks measure approximately 8" x 3" x 3-5/4" and five courses rise 16".
4. Structural system: The building is of frame construction, of hard Virginia pine. Larger framing members, such as the major bearing plates which rest upon the brick foundations, are hand hewn. Smaller members are sawn. Studs measure roughly 3" x 4"and are placed 16~ upon centers. The bearing plates measure approximately 10" x 12".
4. Doors: Front and back entries have double doors, each consisting of three fielded panels. All other doors in the building are of the traditional six-panel variety.
5. Hardware: The house is fortunate enough to have retained the majority of its original hardware although some had been replaced with Victorian examples. Rooms on the second and third floors boast square, iron plate latches, with thumb bolts and brass knobs. These are unmarked by their maker, but are probably of English origin. Of the five box locks originally found on the first floor, only two remain--on the closet door beneath the stair, and on the door between the hall and the dining room. This latter example is marked by "Carpen-ter & Company, patentees", and the keeper is stamped with a crown and the initials "W R', representing King William IV, ruler of England from 1830 until 1837. On the upper floors, there is only one box lock-- to be found on the door of the small room just above the south entry. It has neither knobs nor a thumb latch--only a key for 1ocking --suggesting that the room was used only for storage, and not as a nursery or sewing room, as has occasionally been suggested. The double doors which open off the back side of the hall to the exterior never had a lock of any kind, only a wooden bar placed in iron holders,
The only wrought iron to be found in the entire house are the strap hinges which bold the exterior shutters. These hinges, however, are attached to the shatters with screws, and not with nails as might be expected. Nails throughout the house are of the early machine cut variety. Hinges on all doors are of cast iron, those in the parlor and dining room having examples which raise the doors a total of 1/2 " as they are opened--suggesting that there may have been some floor covering which the owner did not want the moving doors to wear.
6 Windows and shutters: All windows are wooden double-hung sashes, unweighted, consisting of "nine-over-nine" light sashes oh the first floor, and "six-over-six" on the second floor. The small double hung sashes, which light the third floor re of the "four-over-four" variety
Shutters were originally hung on the exterior only on the south front of the building--facing the road, which runs in front of the house. During the last quarter of the 19th century, shutters were added to the north side and to the third floor, but these have long since disappeared.
7. Roof: An old roof (possibly the original) of: hard pine or cypress shingles still exists beneath the current roof of tin, added in 1972 to prevent water damage. All of the shingles are of random width, measuring 18" in length, 6" of which was exposed to the weather. All shingles have rounded ends to prevent warping in the hot sun.
Lightening rods: The lightening rods seen on both chimneys of the house in old photographs were un-doubtedly original. Only sections still remain.
9. The front porch, visible in old photographs, was original to the house, but was taken down in 1950 when its structure had become unsafe. Another porch was added at that time, but that too has since been removed. Included in this study is a proposed reconstruction of the porch taken from old photos, measurements, and the existing outline of the porch still visible on the front of the house.
Description of Interior:
Woodwork: Paneled wainscot is found throughout the first floor and extends up the stairwell to the second floor. The second floor has chair mould and base-boards throughout, and the third floor has only baseboard. There are no cornices of any form in any of the rooms on the interior.
Painted. Interiors: Fortunate enough to have endured the poverty of the Booth family, the interiors of "Snow Hill'. have escaped the ravages often dealt by well intentioned renovators. With the exception of woodwork in the dining room, painted by tenants in the mid-20th century, the original painted, grained, and marbled surfaces are extant throughout the house. Although wear and tear, natural aging, and even abuse have taken their tolls upon the surfaces, much is exceptionally well preserved. The wainscoted hallway is painted a deep, almost olive, green, and the risers of the steps are marbled. Newel posts are mahoganized, and the stick balusters are painted the same: green. The wainscot now found in the parlor, and that now painted over in the dining room, is representative of the fancy painting, which reached its height in the era between 1820 and 1840. The baseboards are marbled, rails and stiles of the wainscot are simulated mahogany, and panels are painted in imitation of birds-eye and curly maple. The dado cap, the door and window jamb moldings, are all painted a deep blue. Sunbursts in the parlor mantle are gilded with gold leaf. Doors throughout the house are painted with mahogany stiles and rails and with maple panels, identical to the wainscot of the first floor. Plaster surfaces throughout the house were applied over split lathes, and were left white. They were probably whitewashed often, and contain no signs of stenciling or wall painting.
3. Flooring: All the floors are of Virginia hard pine, varying in width from three to six inches. Without exception a single board runs the complete length of a room.
4. Fireplaces: There are four fireplaces in the house, 2 each on the first and second floors. There are no fireplaces on the third floor. All hearths are of square brick tiles. The finest mantle is gained, has herringbone and Greek key moldings, and gilded sunbursts, and is to be found in the parlor.
D. The Site: Within the immediate environs of the house are known to have been a smokehouse, an icehouse, barns, a kitchen, and a building referred to as the "weaving house". None of these buildings are still standing, although the frame of the smokehouse has been salvaged and will eventually be recon-structed. Woodwork from the kitchen, taken down in 1959, is in storage, and the chimney and foundations for the building still exist. There are no photographs of any of the other buildings, with the exception of the "weaving house", and it is highly unlikely that any archaeological excavations will take place. | Col.

Eldridge A. Maddera 1821 - 1881
Eldridge Annstrit Maddera was the only son of Thomas Maddera (bet 1784 -1826) and Rebecca G. Thompson. He was born February 10, 1821 and was only five years old when his father died in September 1826, apparently unexpectedly, for he died intestate. Eldridge's mother married Hugh Hopkins three years later, on 8/22/1829, and William M, West was appointed by the Court as Eldridge's guardian (Surry County Fiduciary Accts. 1831 -1839), to protect his rights in his father's estate.
Thomas Maddera was apparently moderately well-to-do at the time of his death. We presume that he was a plantation owner, because the account of his estate mentions six slaves who were hired out: Abram, Billy, Wilson, Lizza, Diana and Mary. Eldridge received a good education judging by his later occupations and military service, and apparently continued to successfully manage the plantation, which was near Cabin Point, when he reached manhood.
On 12/6/1843 Eldridge married Mary Pocahontas Sledge, daughter of Amos and Mary (Shackleford) Sledge, Jr.. Amos Sledge, Jr. was a wealthy man by Surry County standards. He operated a major dry goods business and owned substantial property as well After he died in 1842, at age 62, his estate was valued at $ 11,451. Mary Pocahontas was only 17 when he died, and required the consent of a guardian, her brother Amos Sledge in, when she and Eldridge were married a year after her father's death. Her mother had died earlier, and she received an equal share of her father's estate, which was divided between Amos Jrs.' seven children. Included in her share of the estate, according to Mary Coleman Braxton, was her great grandfather Emanuel White and "other slave property", which she brought with her marriage to Eldridge Maddera.. Valeria Ann Maddera, the daughter of Eldridge and Mary P. makes it clear that the family lived a very comfortable life on their plantation before the Civil War erupted in 1861.
Earlier we described the Civil War as experienced by Valeria Ann Maddera and her husband-to-be William M Cotton. Briefly, here is how Eldridge A. Maddera went through the war. Like most of the gentry of Surry County he belonged to the Surry Cavalry before the war, commanded by Captain Travis W. Taylor. This was essentially a militia company, and served much the same purposes that the National Guard does today, available to quell any civil disturbance which should be beyond the capabilities of the sheriff and his deputies: for example, a slave insurrection, like Nat Turner's Rebellion; or repel an invasion, such as CoL Tarleton's Raid during the American Revolution; or respond to Indian attacks, such as those that brought on Bacon's Rebellion. In the early days of the colony, when men reached military age, they were required to register, and provide a horse and equipment ready for service, or pay someone else to serve for them. The Surry Cavalry had played a minor role in the American Revolution and had a lot of pride in their Company. My mother, Bertha (Johnson) Bartlett, wrote that her father, Sidney T. Johnson, was a member of the Surry Cavalry when she was a girl, in the first decade of the 20th century. She says he occasionally rode to Surry Courthouse on his black horse for drills, sporting a blue uniform with brass trappings and a gleaming saber at his side. Fortunately, there were no wars during his young manhood. | MADDERA Eldridge Anmstrit, Sr. (I3037)

John and Anne Cotton 1621 - 1702
There are many people named Cotton in England and America. No doubt many of them are distant cousins. However, our interest is focused on the Cotton femUies which lived in Southside Virginia, and specifically on the ancestors of Mary Etta Cotton (1871 - 1909), the mother of my mother.
The first ancestor of Etta Cotton which we can be fairly sure of is one John Cotton, who was born either 1621 or 1625 in England, and emigrated to the Jamestown Colony as a young man, probably 1637/38. His name appears as a witness to a document in Lower Norfolk County inl 651. In 1657 he married Anne Hutchinson (Harrison?), in Nansemond, Isle of Wight County. His name appears several more times in 1657 in the records of York County, as a juror, witness to a will and named in a will. The will he witnessed was that of Mrs. Francis Wheeler, and under its provisions he received a gold seal ring. He was presumably related to her. Frances Wheeler, Sr. died in 1659-70, leaving a large estate. Thomas Beale bought the Wheeler Plantation, which lay in Hampton Parish, York County, between King and Queen's Creek, shortly before Francis Wheeler died and sold it to John Cotton December 31,1666. John Cotton and Anne Cotton raised their children there and eventually sold the Queen's Creek plantation to Col. Nathaniel Bacon in 1691.
John Cotton's name figured in a deposition found in York County Records, which provides some insight into the tenor of the times.
John Heyward, aged thirty-five years or thereabouts, sayeth That your deponent, in November last was two years at the house of James Pardoe, and there did meet with Mr. John Cotton who did come to demand tobacco (tobacco was used in the early Virginia Colony as a medium of exchange, money being scarce) and your said Deponent and Mr. Cotton did fall to drinking very hard by ye request of the said James Pardoe & did contiue drinking all day till at night wee went to cards, and at cards your Deponent and Mr. Cotton had some words & soe broke off from play and did goe each of them to there rest, but your Deponent was ordered to sleep along with the said Pardoe & his wife in the same room where all the Drink was, soe your Deponent & said Pardoe did fall to drinking again, and after some discourse the said Pardee did tell your Deponent yet Mr. Cotton was come for to demand Tobo (tobacco) of him upon the accounts of Thomas Bevins', but the said Pardoe did desire your Deponent for to look over Thomas Bevins 'papers & to see if his bill was not there among ye papers & said Pardoe did depart for some time out of the room & did bring some papers in his hand for your Deponent to looke over. Your Deponent in looking over ye papers did find ye said Bevins' his bill uncancelled and did give it to the said Pardoe and your Deponent will swear & further saith not.
John Heyward
Sworn before me the 21 June 1681. William Booth
The use of Mr. before John Cotton's name indicates that he was considered a member of the gentry. Apparently he was either a lawyer, or because he was well educated his name appears on various legal documents | COTTON John (I3431)
