Notes |
- On the opposite side of Chippokes Creek in Surry County, VA was "Flying Point," the Rookings Plantation. At least three or four generations of William Rookings lived at Flying Point from 1636. William Rookings I, who patented the land died around 1646, leaving the place to his son, William Rookings II, who played a significant role in Bacon's Rebellion in 1676. He was the leader of the rebels who fortified the house of Arthur Allen, which became known as "Bacon's Castle". Like Bacon, William Rookings II died before he could be executed by the triumphant followers of Governor William Berkley. William's brother-in-law, Nicholas Wyatt, petitioned the Surry County Court to restore "Flying Point" to his children. William Rookings III succeeded in inheriting the property and died about 1715. His son, William Rookings IV lived until about 1750. William III was probably the father of Margaret. (Citations [S1156] Research of John C. Baird, etal. )
