     William was born in 1623 at England. William Justice gave testimony in Charles City County Court in 1658 that he was 35 years old or thereabouts.. He married Mary Frame, daughter of Capt. John Frame and Ann (-----), on 26 May 1646 at Weynoke Parish, Charles City Co, VA.¹ William patented land on 26 April 1656 at Charles City Co, VA. It was on this date that William Justice was granted 1,198 acres of land in Charles City County near Flowerdew Hundred Creek adjacent the land of Cheney Boice. A portion of this land was originally granted to Captain John Frame on 1 Sep 1643 and due the said Justice as marrying the daughter and heir of the said Frame and for transporting the following 24 persons into the Colony: Mary Sherwood, Rich Lee, Jno. Barber, Edmond Joyner, Mathew Baile, Wm. Coleman, Wm. Phillips, Joseph Errence, Tho. Haistwood, Alice Michell, Rebecca Frame, Fra. Nelson, Wm. Price, Wm. Lawrence, Mary Lawrence twice, Anne Lawrence, Arthur Lawrence, Sarah Lawrence, Wm. Ballance, John Hatly, Eliz. Heath, Peeter Plumer & Tho. Whitter. This land was used to form his home which he called "Kittawon Plantation." It does not appear that William was indentured but that he was a man of some means as he was able to pay to transport 24 persons to Charles City County in the Colony of Virginia which was the basis for claiming his lands.
.² William patented land on 16 September 1663 at Charles City Co, VA. It was on this date that the William Justice patent of 21 A. 2 R. 11 P. in Weynock in Charles Cittie County on the north side of the James River. Beginning at a stake parting his own & land of Margaret Hewes, running north by west, 300 poles, then S.W. along Kittawan Br & c. was confirmed by order of the Gen'll. Ct. etc. It was not recorded until 20 Oct 1665..³ William died before 3 February 1663/64 at Charles City Co, VA. It was on this date that his will was probated at the Charles City County Court at Westover. Unfortunately, the recording of his will has not survived and the names of his heirs can only be determined from the circumstantial evidence of later records. Charles City County records do show that his widow Mary married (2) Thomas Chappell..¹ The names of John Justice and Justinian Justice appear in Charles City County records at Westover by 1688. They both owned land in the county, with no record of their having bought it or patented it, indicating it was inherited from William Justice and that they were his sons. Charles City County records, combined with Accomack County records, indicate that Ralph Justice was another son. It appears that Capt. John Frame had a son Arthur and another daughter Rebecca, besides the Mary who married (1) William Justice. Rebecca married William Ebourne, who was named as a headright in Northampton County, Virginia, in 1652 (Nugent, p. 267). He and his wife had both died by 17 Dec 1677, when "Mary the wife of Thomas Chappell dec'd before her death" requested Arthur Rollins "to have charge of Henry Eborne (Acc Co Orders 1676-1678, p. 86). The same record states that Arthur Frame has taken unto his care, Rebecca, the daughter of William Eborne, "since the decease of Mary, the wife of Thomas Chappel". Evidently William Justice's widow Mary came to Accomack County to care for her deceased sister Rebecca's child Sarah and married her dec'd sister's husband William Ebourne and had 3 more children by him and after his death married Thomas Chappell just before her death. It appeared she was accompanied by her brother, Arthur Frame, who was listed first as an Accomack County tithable in 1674. Arthur Frame had patented land, south of present-day Parksley, in 1673 (Whitelaw, p. 1191). Evidently Mary Chappell left her older sons John & Justinian Justice in Charles City County and brought her younger son Ralph to the Eastern Shore with her. While the records do not show this as fact, Ralph Justice's name began to appear in Accomack County records at a time that would strongly suggest he was a younger son of William Justice and his wife, Mary Frame Justice Ebourne Chappell.

     Mary was born circa 1630 at Charles City Co, VA. She married William Ebourne circa 1666 at Accomack Co, VA. The case of the Eborne children illustrates the trauma that some children must have endured. After young Sarah Eborne's mother died, her father William Eborne married Mary, who cared for Sarah and bore Eborne 3 more children. When William died, Sarah was placed in the custody of Joseph Nuton, who wanted the girl to serve him till she was 18 years old. However, Sarah's step-mother, after marrying Thomas Chapwell, successfully petitioned to get Sarah back. Three months later death dealt another blow: Mary Eborne Chapwell died, and while Sarah did not have to return to Nuton, all 4 children were sent to different homes..¹ Mary sold land on 17 July 1672 at Hunting Creek, Acc Co, VA. It was on this date William Abraham (sic), planter, sold to Joshua Smith, planter, half the tract where John Cary lived on Hunting Creek. Signed on 17 Jul 1672 by William (X) Eborne and Mary (M) Eborne. Witnesses were Wm. Anderson & Rodger Micell..² On 16 Apr 1675 Mr. John Michaell Jr. (attorney Mr. Tankard) was granted an attachment of 589 lbs tobacco and court costs against the estate of John Pope. (Side note: "Served on the estate of Jno. Pope in the hands of the widow Eborne.") (NOTE: So her 2nd husband William Ebourne had died by this date, but she had not yet married Thomas Chappell.).³ On 16 Jul 1675 in the suit of Jno. Pope against the widow Eborne for two cows and two calves, Eborne convinced the court that the debt was attached by the sheriff for the use of Jno. Michael Jr., who was put in possession of the animals. It was ordered that the suit be dismissed with Pope paying court costs.⁴ On 13 Sep 1675 the widow Eborn, in reference to her late husband, owed two cows and calves to Jno. Pope, but they were attached by the court's order and taken away. Wm. Martiall affirmed the he had seized them and turned them over to Jno. Michaell Jr. Signed 28 May 1675, Wm. Martiall, sheriff.⁴ She married Thomas Chappell before 14 September 1677 at Accomack Co, VA. It was on this date that it was recorded that at the last court Joseph Nuton had been granted the care of Sara Eborne. At this court Mary Chapwell petitioned for custody, as Sara was the daughter of Mary's former husband, Wm. Eborne. It was only by Mary's consent that Nuton was to care for Sara till Mary would request her. Since Tho. Chapwell and his wife Mary acknowledged themselves willing to take charge of Sara Eborne and maintain her until she reached 18 years (unless she marry) and to teach her to read within two years, it was ordered that Nuton deliver Sara to Mary Chapwell & the order granted to Nuton was reversed..⁵ Mary died before 18 December 1677 at Accomack Co, VA. It was on this date that Arthur Robins petitioned the court saying that the administration of the estate of Wm. Eborne dec'd had been granted to Tho. Chappell in the right of his wife. The estate had been appraised, but Chappell could not put in security as required by law. Since Chappell's wife had since died, it was ordered that administration be granted to Robins, who was to post security. In separate actions on this same date it was noted that Mary Chapwell, once the widow of Wm. Eborne, had died and Sara Eborne was to remain with Jno. Collins, Henry Eborne was to remain with Arthur Robins, Rebecca Eborne was to remain with Arthur Frame, and Ann Eborne was to remain with John Reade. In the latter case it was noted that John Reade had cared for Ann, daughter of Wm. & Mary Eborne, for 3 years with the consent of her father and mother..⁶

     His common name was John. John was born in 1608.¹ He was shown as John Freame, age 16 years, who came in the Southampton in 1622, in the Muster of the inhabitants of Jordans Jorney and Chaplin Choice (Charles Citte County) taken 21 Jan 1624/25.¹ He married Ann (-----) after 1629.² John patented land on 1 September 1643 at Charles City Co, VA. On 26 Apr 1656 William Justice was granted 1,198 acres of land in Charles City County near Flowerdew Hundred Creek adjacent the land of Cheney Boice. A portion of this land was originally granted to Captain John Frame on 1 Sep 1643 and was now due the said Justice as marrying the daughter and heir of the said Frame and for transporting 24 persons into the Colony. This land was used to form his home which he called "Kittawon Plantation." It does not appear that William was indentured but that he was a man of some means as he was able to pay to transport 24 persons to Charles City County which was the basis for claiming these lands..³ He was elected a captain in the militia circa 1650. He married Mary (-----) after 1650. She was Mary Lawrence, widow..² John died before 17 December 1655 at Charles City Co, VA.

     Thomas was born circa 1620. Thomas was on the list of tithables at Accomack Co, VA, for in 1677. He was shown as Tho. Chapwell with 1 tithable..¹ He married Mary (-----) before 14 September 1677 at Accomack Co, VA. It was on this date that it was recorded that at the last court Joseph Nuton had been granted the care of Sara Eborne. At this court Mary Chapwell petitioned for custody, as Sara was the daughter of Mary's former husband, Wm. Eborne. It was only by Mary's consent that Nuton was to care for Sara till Mary would request her. Since Tho. Chapwell and his wife Mary acknowledged themselves willing to take charge of Sara Eborne and maintain her until she reached 18 years (unless she marry) and to teach her to read within two years, it was ordered that Nuton deliver Sara to Mary Chapwell & the order granted to Nuton was reversed..² Thomas was named as administrator of an estate on 14 September 1677 at Accomack Co, VA. It was on this date that Tho. Chapwell, who gave security, was granted administration on the estate of Wm. Eborne dec'd. Ordered that Arthur Robins, Jno. Parkes, Jno. Cob and Giles Cope appraise the estate of Eborne that would be presented by Chapwell and give an account to the next court..² On 20 Dec 1677 Mr. Max Gore was granted a judgement of 851 lbs tobacco against Tho. Chappell. Ordered that Chappell pay the debt and court costs.³

     John was born circa 1647 at Charles City Co, VA. The names of John Justice and Justinian Justice appear in Charles City County records at Westover by 1688. They both owned land in the county, with no record of their having bought it or patented it, indicating it was inherited from William Justice and that they were his sons.

     Justinian was born circa 1649 at Charles City Co, VA. The names of John Justice and Justinian Justice appear in Charles City County records at Westover by 1688. They both owned land in the county, with no record of their having bought it or patented it, indicating it was inherited from William Justice and that they were his sons.

     Arthur was born circa 1632 at Charles City Co, VA. Arthur was on the list of tithables at Accomack Co, VA, for in 1676. He was shown as Arthur Frame in Capt. Southy Littleon's precinct with 1 tithable. This was his first appearance in Accomack County records..² Arthur was on the list of tithables at Accomack Co, VA, for in 1677. He was shown with 1 tithable..³ On 18 Dec 1677 Arthur Frame stated that since the death of Mary, wife of Thomas Chappel, he had taked into his care Rebecca, the daughter of Wm. Eborne dec'd. Frame was granted custody of Rebecca and promised that his future ability allowed it, he would teach Rebecca Eborne to read "as far forth as his own children." Frame paid court costs. (NOTE: It appears that this Arthur Frame was a son of Capt. John Frame and a brother to Mary Frame who married (1) William Justice, (2) William Eborne and (3) Thomas Chappell.).¹ On 17 Jan 1677/78 Arthur Frame declared that Rebecca Eborne, orphan of Wm. Eborne, was committed into his care, but Arthur Robins had administration of Eborne's estate. Ordered that Robins deliver the orphan's share to Frame on behalf of the orphan.⁴ On 20 Feb 1677/8 it was recorded that last night Arthur Frame assulted Benjamin Aires (Eyres), a public officer who had been sent by the court to preserve the peace. Frame was taken into the sheriff's custody for "his presumption and contempt." Frame humbly submitted himself and said he was sorry; he did not know that Aires was a public officer. Ordered that he pay court costs and be discharged this time.⁵ On 18 Oct 1682 Arthur Frame presented a certificate signed by Capt. Richard Hill proving that Frame had apprehended John Bagwell's runaway woman servant. She was captured 5 miles from her master's house. Frame was granted a certificate to the next assembly.⁶

     Rebecca was born circa 1634 at Charles City Co, VA. Rebecca was named as a headright on 26 April 1656 at Charles City Co, VA. It was on this date that Rebecca Frame was on a list of 24 persons that had been transported into the colony by William Justice, who received 1,198 acres in Charles City County near Flower Du Hundred Creek.

He was shown as Wm. Ebourne, one of 20 persons on the list of headrights for Mr. John Browne, who was granted 1,000 acres in Northampton Co, near Matchepongo. (NOTE: This part of N'hamp Co became Accomack Co in 1663.).³ He married Rebecca Frame, daughter of Capt. John Frame and Ann (-----), circa 1663 at Accomack Co, VA. On 14 Mar 1664/5 in Accomack Court, John Die and his wife failed to appear in court to answer the complaint of William Ebourne. It was ordered that a special warrent be issued for their appearance at the next court. On 17 Apr 1665 John Die appeared and was suspected to be guilty of hog stealing, but as there was no positive proof, it was ordered that he post security for his good behavior and pay court costs.

Signed, Mary (M) Bell. The jury considered the goods belonging to Mary Bell and William Abram (sic) that were found in the possession of Elizabeth Die by Constable Thomas Leatherberry, who had been asked to search for items with these particular marks by Mary Bell and Margaret Abourne (sic). The jury found Elizabeth Die to be guilty. Since Elizabeth Die had taken several articles from William Ebourne, it was ordered that the sheriff deliver the goods to Ebourne with Die paying court costs.

When William died, Sarah was placed in the custody of Joseph Nuton, who wanted the girl to serve him till she was 18 years old.

Notwithstanding the agreement, Abourne took three or four thousand of the best plants for his wife and helped her tend them while neglecting the shared crop. Selman also suffered loss when Abourne neglected the crop while he and his man made cider. Ordered that Abourne be liable for the damanges; after then crop was finished, it was to be divided into three parts with Selman receiving one part.
