1820-21 JONES ADS WALLER in Chancery. Fredericksburg District Court John Jones died in St. Margaret's Parish in 1779 & left to his wife 15 slaves. When she died in 1819, these 15 and their increase numbered 57. This suit was brought to make a division among the heirs or representatives of the children of John Jones. Alas, I don't have the names of the 15 slaves left by John Jones, it is very possible additional papers in the case in Fredericksburg would reveal those names. While the petition says 57, the number divided was 56, one must have died.

In brief it says: The family is of Teutonic origins. The family, or a branch of it, came to Britian with William the Conquerer. A number of this family was ennobled by the kings and queens from time to time and granted a coat of arms. Some were church officials in the church of England, others were Quakers.Some went to Ireland. Many Garretts bear titles.The Caroline Co Garretts are descended from ancestors who came to Virginia from Leicestershire England in 1684, Sir William Garrett of London, was among them, and was believed that he was one of the first charter members of the Virginia Colony and believed to be one of the first Chairmen. The Garretts have been planters and some held public office among them W.R. Garrett and C.W. Garrett. If you can send me your snail mail I will be glad to copy and send to you Boulware and Carter.
