As it was customary for a younger servant to serve till his/her 24th birthday (unless there was an indenture specifying otherwise), it seems clear that the court believed 20 September 1660 to be Thomas’s 23rd birthday; assuming they were accurate, his date of birth would have been 20 September 1637.¹ On 29 October 1662 just a year after his term of service expired, Thomas Ryley was granted a certificate for 600 acres for transporting twelve individuals.

Edmund Bowman, was now exposed to the great cost and trouble of a trial at James City. Rather than face certain ruin in the recovery of his rights, he must accept the loss and give Capt. Bowman what he could not afford to defend. Capt. Bowman had declared that he would spend 40,000 lbs tobacco before Morris would have his due. For money, lawyers could be hired for the long and tedious trial, but Morris was poor, and lacking the ability to defend his cause, he must decline his right and wait till God better enabled him or good men relieved his distress by dispensing justice with less trouble and cost than an appeal to James City. Morris could not give security to answer the appeal to the next general court, nor would his entire worth defray the charge. Morris requested his petition be put on record to show he did not decline his due claim from Bowman, but to "prevent his utter ruin, must for the present decline his right."⁴ Dennis Morris I was on the tax list in 1671 at Accomack Co, VA.

It was on this date that Elizabeth Morris, widow of said Dennis, was named to settle the estate of Dennis Morris. Edward Brotherton was the security.⁵ O 18 Feb 1695/96 in Accomack Court a warrant was issued by Col. Charles Scarburgh at the complaint of Mr. Robert Pitt, who accused Elizabeth Morris of taking Sterling Newton (son of Joseph Newton, deceased) out of the possession of Pitt. At the last court the boy was ordered to remain with Pitt till this court determined how the "child should be disposed of." In the absence of a constable, Mr. John Custis of Pocomk. was empowered to execute the warrant for the return of the child. At Elizabeth's house he demanded the child, but Elizabeth refused to give up Sterling. It appeared that Elizabeth had committed contempt, so the court ordered that the sheriff take her into custody till she gave security for her good behavior and payment of court charges. (NOTE: Evidently Robert Pitt had married her daughter.).⁶ On 2 Apr 1701 in Accomack Court on behalf of her sister's children, (the orphans of Joseph Newton, deceased) Elizabeth Morris petitioned against Francis Benston, into whose custody some of the children (with their estates) had been committed. He had given security to deliver the estates when the children arrived at age. This "Benston, in contempt of the said order, failed to do and perform, as also that he detained one of the orphans arrived to woman's estate, being above sixteen years of age, and is thereby kept in very hard servitude. Elizabeth Morris asked that the court take action; they ordered the sheriff to take Benston into custody till he gave bond for his appearance at the next court to answer the complaint.⁷ On 4 Jun 1701 in Accomack Court Francis Benston was summoned to answer the complaint of Elizabeth Morris, whose sister's children were the orphans of Joseph Newton, deceased. Elizabeth had petitioned that the court placed the children with Benston, who had not given the children their estates, as he had posted bond to do. He had also detained one of the girls, who "was arrived to woman's estates being above sixteen years of age and [Benston had] kept her in very hard servitude." Elizabeth asked that the orphan receive her liberty and her portion of her father's estate. Benston now appeared and alleged that the girl was not yet sixteen and that she was treated well. However, since Elizabeth claimed otherwise, and since Benston "would not permit or suffer ye aforesaid orphan to make her complaint to ye court by detaining her at home," the court ordered that the girl have notice to come to court if she had cause for complaint. The court would "give her such redress therein as shall be agreeable to right and justice."² She made a will in November 1703 at Accomack Co, VA. She was shown as Elizabeth Morris, widow of Dennis Morris. To sons John, Dennis & Joseph Morris 1 s. each. To daughters Sarah Read & Elizabeth Pitt 1 s. each. Daughter Ann Blake.

Morris were both shown on William Anderson's list with 1 tith each.⁵ Sheriff Col. John West informed the court that John Morris had concealed two tithables, a white servant and a mulatto servant. Now Morris appeared and proved that he bought his white servant after 10 June. He also produced an assignment (dated 9 July 1696) in which Jonathan Owen sold him the mulatto named Devorax Odriggus. Since both purchases occurred after the time for turning in the lists of tithables, John Morris was not liable for their taxes for the present year. The case was quashed and he was discharged.⁶ On 3 Mar 1696/97 in Accomack Court upon information presented by the sheriff at the last court an order was passed against Dennis Morris for concealing himself as a tithable in 1696.
