1.2.2. John Vassall, appears as a headright in the land patents of Virginia on August 20, 1650; 560 a. described as ‘Lyeing upon the third swamp SW by W from Henry White’s plantation’. Other headrights included: Wm. Batts, associated with William Powell, of St. Olave’s, Southwark, and Richard Walton, whose family had imtermarried with the Underwoods of the same place. John Vassall was chosen as guardian, on February 24, 1670, by his nephew, John Ware, who was: ‘Major John Weire of Rappahannock Co., Va: ‘To wife Honoria, dower rights’ (Maryland Wills, Liber 9, folio 78). By September, 1684, his widow had married George Jones of Rappahannock, and was acting as Administratix of Jones’ estate (Rappahannock DB, 1683-1686, p. 40). George Jones had been a co-administrator in 1679 with Amory Butler of the estate of Col. John Catlett, husband of of Elizabeth Underwood, sister of Col. Wm. Underwood, whose widow, Elizabeth, had married Archdale Combs, of St. Olave’s, Southwark. George Jones was the father of John Jones: ‘In the Name of God Amen. I John Jones of Richmond County, Smith … Item: I give unto my loving wife Ann Jones two feather beds … I give to my son John Jones one hundred and fifty two acres of land which I bought of Nathanl Vickars … I give to my son George one Negro man named Tom … I give to my son Richard Jones my dwelling plantation and land thereto belonging to bind upon the south side of the western branch of Muddy Creek … I give to my son Edward Jones ye plantation whereon he lives to him and his heirs forever and a suit of clothes’ (King George County, W.B. A, 1721-1752, p. 37). His son, John Jones: ‘Know all men we James Grant and Catherine his wife Parish of Brunswick King George County are bound unto James Hewett … in sum one hundred pounds current money of Virginia … 24th January 1743. Condition … that whereas Catharine wife to the sd Grant & Relict of John Jones by the will of John Jones deceased has some pretension to land given by said Jones will to his son John Jones by him sold to William Flowers .. and by said Flowers sold to said James Hewett .. and whereas Grant and Catharine .. being unwilling to engage themselves in a doubtful Law suit do therefore … for sum Twenty shillings current money … oblige themselves to make a good title … Presence Nicholas Strother, James Grant, James Strother, Anth. Haynie, Catharine Grant. At a court held 4th January 1744 . .. Bond recorded. This 24th January wee the subscribers do testify that we heard Catharine Grant, Mother to John Jones, that sold his land to William Flowers say that her son was twenty one years old & upwards near 22 years of age at time of sale … Nicholas Strother, James Jones, Anth. Haynie, James Strother’.John Jones held a Crown stipend. He would have relied on two elected churchwardens to run the day-to-day business of his parish, who were usually educated members of the local elite. A common sermon of Puritan clerics involved with those emigrating to Virginia was from the seventh chapter of the second book of Samuel: ‘I will appoint a place for my children Israel, and I will plant them’. John Jones may have encouraged his congregation to become ‘trees of rightiousness’ in the new land, wishing that his descendants followed this dictum.
