Letter from Patrick to Neil; 06 Feb 1998;
Neil, In one of your email you mentioned a Deed record 1719, DB 3, p.494 that concerned Zebulon and Thomas Chilton. I do have that record and it is as follows: " KNOW ALL MEN by these presents that wee ABIGAL CHILTON, Thomas CHILTON and ZEBULON CHILTON of Middlesex County are bound unto ROGER JONES gent first in Commission of the peace for said county in sum of one hundred pounds Sterl. this 2d day of june 1719. The condition of this obligation is such that if Abigal Chilton Executrix of the last Will and Testament of PETER CHILTON decd do make a true inventory of said deced Estate and exhibit the same in County Court when required and truly administer according to Law and make a true account of her actings and doings therein and truly pay the Legacys that then this obligation to be voyd and otherwise to remain. Abigal (mark) Chilton Thos (mark) Chilton Zebulon (mark) Chilton
At a Court held for Middlesex County the 2nd day of June 1719 This bond was presented in Court and admitted to record. ".
I wish I could show Abigal's mark , looks like " oZ " with the Z connected to the bottom of the o. Thomas mark was just a " M ", Zebulon's mark looking like the side view of a rocking chair without the back, showing the arm of the rocker, two uprights and a bottom rocker which is curved, and the seat between the two uprights. Clear as mud, huh?. No mention of Wm. However, Order Bk 6 p. 122 4 Aug 1724 " William Chilton, one of the legatees of Peter Chilton, dec'd , against Robert Holderness & Abgiall Holderness his wife, Thomas Chilton & Zebulon Chilton, executors of Peter Chilton dec'd ". Have no idea what this was about or what happened. It does show that Wm, Thomas, and Zebulon were still in Middlx Co. 1724. I lose Thomas after this and find Zebulon still in Middlx Co. 1733 where he is finded 500 lbs of Tobacco to John Curtis for the use of the Parish. He is in Westmoreland Co Militia also 1733. Hanover Co. 1734, Pittsylvania Co. 1772, and dies Henry Co. VA 1777. Patrick
