From Benjamin B. Weisiger III's "Charles City County, Virginia Records 1737-1774 (With Several 17th Century Fragments)" [My own comments are in square brackets, within the entries. Parentheses are Weisiger's.] [Aha! In this book I found the 2 "Feb 1692" entries that Maynard had included in his listing, which I was unable to find in the Court Order Book. I'll repeat them here, even though they do appear in Maynard's listing, to help clarify their correct source. In this Weisiger book, the two Feb 1692 items he listed are shown together, as if one entry and as I list the p.150 item below, rather than separated into two items.] From what Weisiger states is a "Fragment of a Will & Deed Book 1692-1694" p.150 (first part missing) a deed from Rebecca Poythress to Joshua Wynne Wit: Charles Bartholomew, Wm. Epes, Elizabeth (X) Smith Signed: Rebecca Poythress Recorded 3 Feb. 1692 [thus 1692/93] Power of Attorney from Rebecca Poythress to Charles Bartholomew to convey above land. 2 Feb. 1692 [thus 1692/93] Wit. Wm Epes, Wm Epes, Elizabeth (X) Smith Signed: Rebecca Poythress Recorded 3 Feb. 1692 [thus 1692/93] From what Weisiger states is a "Fragment of a Will & Deed Book 1692-1694" [another entry Maynard had included with the Court Order Book items] p.185 Whereas a letter of attorney, bearing date ____ London appointed me, Richard Tibbott, Mariner, to be attorney for Thomas Crane to receive of the heirs and Executors of Francis Poythress, late of Charles City Co. in Va., dec'd, £10 with interest, I substitute Capt. Petter Perry of said county to act for me. 30 Oct 1693 Wit: Richard Blande, Hugh Davis Signed: Richard Tibbott Recorded 3 April 1694 [thus 1694/95] From what Weisiger states is a "Fragment of an Order Book for 1641-1642 (Mss 3c3807 a26 from the Manuscript Collections of The VA Historical Society) [The following is everything Weisiger included for the item]: Deposition of William Thomas, age 34 (very confusing) about a cow and calf of Thomas Osborn's, ear marks, John Flood's boat and Mrs. Heymon. This is followed by a deposition of William Hinman, age 20, having to do with Mrs. Heyman's calfs, Mr. Poythris's house, a white faced steer and cow & calf, and Roger Humblee.
Found another error in one of my own comments added in my 17 Feb message captioned "More Charles City Co, VA Poythress listings" which had info from Benjamin B. Weisiger III's "Charles City County, Virginia Records 1737-1774 (With Several 17th Century Fragments)" I had forgotten that the old-style dates, before 1752, are now shown with double years *only* for the part of the year between 1 January and 25 March (Had erroneously been thinking it was April, rather than March) Thus the following is the corrected version of this entry: From what Weisiger states is a "Fragment of a Will & Deed Book 1692-1694" [an entry Maynard had included with the Court Order Book items] p.185 Whereas a letter of attorney, bearing date ____ London appointed me, Richard Tibbott, Mariner, to be attorney for Thomas Crane to receive of the heirs and Executors of Francis Poythress, late of Charles City Co. in Va., dec'd, £10 with interest, I substitute Capt. Petter Perry of said county to act for me. 30 Oct 1693 Wit: Richard Blande, Hugh Davis Signed: Richard Tibbott Recorded 3 April 1694
