Craig, Part of your post. I caught name "Charles Ashton". [I haven't posted in awhile but watch. Hope this isn't too long.] "Here is the case. Joshua HUDSON died in Westmoreland County in 1704, testate. His will was dated 6 JUN 1704 and proved 26 JUL 1704. He names his wife Elizabeth [who was Elizabeth RUSH] and four sons: (2) Joshua, 100 acres "I now live on" adjacent Capt. Charles Ashton and William Rust" Question: Was above Charles Ashton one of the below men? I ask because the name of Daniel Field being in this record. Was Daniel Field related to Margaret...like her brother? Record with source cut and pasted: WESTMORELAND COUNTY ORDER BOOK, 1707-1709; pg 65 Westmoreland County Court 26th ofJanuary 1708/09 - MARGRETT ASHTON to B. ASHTON, Gent., dischame &c A Release of Dower and Thirds of the lands of CHARLES ASHTON, Gent., deceased, from Madam MARGRETT ASHTON, Relict of CHARLES ASHTON, deceased, to BURDETT ASHTON and CHARLES ASHTON, as also satisfaction for her Widdow's part of the personall Estate ofher deceased Husband acknowledged by DANIELL FIELD by vertue of a Power ofAttorney from sd MARGREET to him and ordered to bee recorded Sources: 1.. Title: Abraham Field Repository: Media: Book Text: Descendants of Abraham Field, Westmoreland County, Virginia, 1636-1674 by Lucie Catherine Field, Eugene Allen Field & Miriam Grasz Field © August 2004 Patterson California All rights reserved Question: If above DANIEL FIELD was a brother of Margaret who was widow of CHARLES ASHTON, then it looks like DANIEL FIELD had a daughter [stepdaugher?] JOYCE married a HUDSON. Could this be the same HUDSON line? Record with source cut and pasted: "Wills of Westmoreland County, Virginia , Page 71 FIELD, DANIEL, 17 April 1720; * * *; July 1720. 2 plantations and 1 negro to dau. Joyce Hudson; Emma Price; sons Abraham and Henry my still and worm; son Henry 50 acres of land and the land in the fork of Rappahannock River to Abraham and Henry; son John Wheeler exr; Evan Price land in Stafford county; son Daniel Field land on Popes Creek." My interest is line of Daniel Field. Thank you, Amanda http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=mrmarsha&id=I26287
