In 1686 William Aleworth (wife Dorcas) left 200 acres to his son Jonathan, but did not dispose of the balance. In 1690 Dorcus Aleworth, as Extr of William, sold the balance as 140 acres to John Prettiman; he resold to John Morris in 1703 and in 1714 he sold to Jonathan Aleworth, who thus became possessed of it all except the A129 part.⁴ Jonathan was named in his father's will on 14 February 1685/86 at Accomack Co, VA.
