Apparently, "Dicey Hall Fowlkes died"; & "John Field Fowlkes" REMARRIED.

EDITH was born to "Thomas Jeffress, Sr. & Mary Jane Gunn Jeffress" @ Nottoway Co., VA. She was the last of 13 Children born to her parents. 4 of the 13 married "Fowlkes".

"John F. Fowlkes" MARRIED "Edith Jeffress" in 1799 when he was 54 & she was 15. So far, there are no known children from this marriage. She died 11 years later @ 26 in 1810 while he lived to 79 & died in 1824.

JOHN FIELD FOWLKES died in 1824 where he had been born in Nottoway Co., VA @ Hyde Park, his family's plantation, & is buried there with his 2 wives.

The plantation was originally called "Old Field" in his parents' & his lifetime.

I'm attaching photos of the "Fowlkes' Family Home" which was called "Hyde Park" where JOHN FIELD FOWLKES lived with his parents & siblings on the tobacco plantation. "Hyde Park" still stands today in 2014 after 2 1/2 centuries!
