Deposition of Mrs. Anne Tofft, aged 20 years, 16 December 1663: About last April Mr. Jno. Custis, Jno. Mellish--master of the ship Royal Oake, and Jno. Shepheard came to Col. Edm. Scarburgh at Pungoteage requesting to have their ship released from seizure. Anne understood from their conversation that the ship was seized upon its first arrival, for it had come directly from Holland to Virginia with various goods and had neither a passport from any British port, nor proof that the Royal Oake was a free ship of England. Then Mr. Custis went out of the house and talked privately with Col. Scarburgh, then with the master and the merchant by turns, and then sometimes they spoke to Scarburgh together, but what they said, Anne did not know. When they came in again, Mr. John Custis solemnly swore that the Royal Oake was the same ship that was in Virginia last year and belonged to the same owners. Then Col. Scarburgh drew a bond, and Anne witnessed that it was signed and sealed by Mr. Mellish, Mr. Shepheard and Mr. Custis and delivered to Col. Scarburgh for His Majesty's use. After that the men talked about hogsheads of tobacco that were shipped on the Royal Oake without certificate and were seized according to the Act of Assembly. These Scarburgh said he would not take, but because they needed tobacco, he would put more in if they would carry the amount of tobacco seized for a friend of his and deliver them in Holland without charge. They all left the house and Anne saw them walking together and apart with Col. Scarburgh. When they came in again, she heard them all agree to deliver forty hogsheads clear of charges to Holland. One of them urged Col. Scarburgh to pay two shillings per hogshead of the seized tobacco for Virginia customs, which he agreed to do. The master said he would send his sloops for the tobacco. They stayed an hour or more afterwards merrily eating and drinking and acting very satisfied, saying they were glad they had ended their business this way. A few days later Claus, the master's mate of the Royal Oake came to Pungotege with two sloops and told Scarburgh he had come for forty hogsheads of tobacco and whatever more Scarburgh wanted to send. So they carried away tobacco, but how much Anne did not know. Signed, Ann Toft. Whitelaw states that Mrs. Ann Toft was apparently a privileged guest in Scarburgh's house at the time.2,9 |

Signed, Amy (A) Fookes. Oath of Anne Toft, 12 March 1663/64: What Amy Fookes said is the truth. Signed, Anne Toft.

An Act of Assembly enacted 23 March 1662/63, decreed that if a woman servant commit fornication and have an illegitimate child, she should serve an extra two years. Ordered that Francis Talcot serve Mrs. Ann Toft two years for her offence.18 |
Court - named in ord | 16 August 1667 | She was named in a court order on 16 August 1667 at Gargaphia, Accomack Co, VA. Four Indian youths were presented by a great man of Kikotanck, sent by their king to have their ages judged. Wickepeason, by the court renamed Humphrey, was judged to be 14 years old. Oquiock, renamed Edward, and Chotohoin, renamed George, were both judged to be 12 years old. Anuck, renamed Richard, was judged to be 10 years old. They were to serve Mrs. Ann Toft at Gargaphie till they were 24 years old, as was agreed by the King of Kikotanck. At the expiration of their terms of service, they were to receive corn and clothes according to the custom of the country and one good cow each.19 |
Court - named in ord | 24 October 1667 | She was named in a court order on 24 October 1667 at Accomack Co, VA. The whippings of Nicholas Mellichopp and Mary Barton were remitted when their mistress agreed to pay their fines. Ordered that Nicholas Mellichopp and Mary Barton each serve their mistress, Mrs. Ann Toft, six months for having their fines paid; Mary Barton was to serve two extra years [for fornication], and Nicholas was to serve one and a half years for fathering the child. He was also to serve one year for the 1000 lbs tobacco paid at his request to Robert Hill and his wife for nursing the child according to the agreement with his mistress. He was also to pay court costs. Nicholas Millichopp and Mary Barton, condemned for having a bastard child, pleaded that they were married in England but could not prove it. They confessed that they did not enter the country as man and wife, and did not declare themselves so until some months after living with Mrs. Ann Toft. They said they concealed their marriage at the advice of Mr. Baugh, who had brought them in and sold them for their times of service. The court considered this case and the testimony of Mr. Browne, who bought the servants from Mr. Baugh, and the testimony of Col. Edm. Scarburgh, who bought them from Browne for Mrs. Toft. Nicholas and Mary had presented themselves as single persons in no way related and came "by two different names, living as unconcerned in their mistress's services until their fornication was discovered." The precedent of accepting this marriage only on their say so would encourage "all whores and rogues" to make similar claims. It was fraud on the part of Mellichop and Mary Barton to conceal a marriage, for single servants were more costly to purchase. After pretending to be married they were admonished, were prevented from living together, and were told they would suffer the consequences of fornication if the act was proved. The grand jury having convicted them, and the concealing of their (supposed) marriage being a threat, the court ordered that "Nicholas Mellichopp and Mary Barton be from their own mouths condemned as fornicators and not to be accounted as man and wife." Even if they were to bring proof of a marriage, they would be accounted as single because they had entered the country that way, had twice affirmed it, and had not claimed it until their fornication was discovered. They would not be allowed to live together until they had served Mrs. Ann Toft for their full terms plus time for fornication and debt. It was their own deceit that "occasioned this censure which ought only to bring damage to the cheats and deceivers themselves."20 |
Court - named in ord | 17 December 1667 | She was named in a court order on 17 December 1667 at Accomack Co, VA. Mrs. Anne Toft complained against Thomas Bell, who had often run away, and most recently had been gone for three months and three weeks committing felonies.

Penelope Sandford, servant to Mrs. Ann Toft, was ordered to serve an additional two and a half years after her indenture was expired for bastard bearing and for court charges.22 |
Court - named in ord | 17 August 1668 | She was named in a court order on 17 August 1668 at Accomack Co, VA. Hanah Leach, servant to Mrs. Ann Toft, was presented for having a bastard child; her mistress agreed to pay the fine, thus remitting Hanah's corporal punishment. Col. Scarburgh exited the court for the following: At the request of Hanah Leach, the court determined the time she should serve her mistress, Mrs. Ann Toft. Ordered that Hanah serve five years to complete her time of service; four years for having an illegitimate child by John Johnson, a Negro, and one year to pay the 1000 lb tobacco fine paid by Toft to acquit Hanah's whipping on that occasion; two and a half years for having an illegitimate child by Wm. Gray and for paying Toft for the fine--a total of twelve years and six months.23 |

Land bought* | 1669 | She bought land in 1669 at tract A180, Horntown, Accomack Co, VA. Col. Edmund Scarburgh and his wife Mary sold 3,000 of this tract to Mrs. Ann Toft for 9,101 pounds of Mevis Sugar in Cask and 708 pounds of Indigo. After the marriage of Mrs. Toft to Daniel Jenifer, a joint patent was issued to them in 1672 for 5,000 acres to include the above 3,000 acres and 2,000 acres of new land; in later transactions this new part usually was called swamp land. When Mrs. Toft married Daniel Jenifer she gave birth to a son Daniel of St. Thomas Jenifer, who under the old law of primogeniture would inherit all of her former lands, together with the new ones which were then in the joint names of Daniel and Ann Jenifer. Perhaps it my be assumed that Ann became concerned now for the future of her daughters and so prevailed upon her husband to make a definite provision for them. At any rate, on 15 July 1672 Daniel and his wife Ann "lately called Ann Toft" recorded a document to the effect that 5,000 acres of Gingoteague were to be set aside for them; Daniel was to retain title. Until the said children shall arrive at their aforesaid several and respective ages of 17 years . . . Furthermore in case the said Arcadia, Attalanta and Annabella or any of them shall marry before the aforesaid age of 17 years is arrived without the consent and good liking and approbacon of the said Daniell and Anne their Mother, then she or they so offending shall have no share nor interest in any of the premises before given.

Anecdote | 1670 | Ann Toft was one of the wenches named in JoAnn Riley McKey's books taken from Accomack County Court Orders. Even though she owned a huge plantation and many servants, had a head for business and enjoyed a privileged lifestyle. All the evidence indicates that she was also the mistress of Col. Edmund Scarburgh, the county's most powerful justice. The records cover her business dealings, but barely touch her personal life. Thanks to her well-placed friend, she was effectively shielded from the court and from us.31 |

Biography* | The names in the Ayres-Eyres family in Colonial Virginia were submitted to the genealogist, Mr. Bower Marsh of London, by Henrietta Ayres Dawson, asking if, in his opinion, they were the same family as that of Wiltshire in the Visitation of London. He promptly replied that "they were the same people, no such accident could ever have happened that two families would follow the same given names," and by his definite opinion if was so formed. He provided the wills of Henry Ayres dated 20 Jan 1656, pewterer of London; the will of Henry Ayres dated 13 Oct 1645 of Ware, County Hertford; and the will of Henry Ayres dated 19 Jul 1661 of London. This surname was written in the early public records of the Colony of Virginia the same as in records in England, as Ayres, Aires, Airs, Ayre, Ayers, Eyre, Eyers, Eires and Eyres. Many Ayres (Eyres), also Trueloves, came to Virginia, and were listed in the Virginia Council as early as 1621. Some returned to England, as found in "Abstract of the Proceedings of the Virginia Company of London 1619-1624," by Conway Robinson, edited by R.A. Brock, Volume I. | |
Birth* | 1632 | John was born in 1632 at Ware, County Hertford, England. He was born 30 miles from London in the parish of Munden Freville, otherwise known as Munden Parva (Little Munden), in the county of Hertford, England..2,3 |

Anecdote* | 1651 | John Ayres, Mr. William Ayres, Mr. Edmond Ayres, Richard Ayres and Mr. Francis Ayres came from England between 1651 and 1657 to that part of Virginia along or between the Rappahannock and Potomac Rivers. The exact dates when each first set foot upon Virginia soil are not known, but the dates on which the headrights of these adventurers from England were converted by others, to whom those rights had been sold between 1651 and 16 Jul 1657, into grants of land at times of varying lengths between those years are known. Mr. Edmond Ayres and Richard Ayres both appear as having arrived at about the same time, and Mr. Francis Ayres first appears of record in the same region in the same year. The headrights of these three gentlemen were each converted into land on the same day, those of Edmond and Richard being so converted by the same purchaser, while that of Francis was acquired by another buyer, which same buyer converted into land the headright on a John Ayres on the same day that he received land for the headright of the same Francis. Thus the headrights of these four close kinsmen were all converted into land on the 15 Jul 1675. John Ayres was the first to be mentioned in the public records. He was the only one of the five who in March 1651/2 was found to be present ashore in Virginia when he was called on by county officers to take the oath of allegiance to the government of England.6 |

Among those signing in N'hamp County on 25 Mar 1652 (the first day of the year 1652) were Jno. Ayres, Nathan'll Littleton, Edm. Scarburgh, Tho. Johnson, Georgius Hacke and Stephen Charlton. Among those signing 5 days later were Jno. Custis, Jno. Johnson Jr., Jno. Johnson Sr., Rich Hill, Charles Scarburgh, James Atkinson, Wm. Gower, Wm. Jorden & Rich. Kellam.7 |

Richard Hill of Northampton & Westmoreland Counties..8 |
Marriage | circa 1655 | He married Joan Gowers, daughter of (father of Joan & Wm) Gowers, circa 1655. According to Ayres, Dawson & Allied Families the Gowers records of Lancaster and Rappahannock Counties indicate the reason William Gowers bequeathed the principal part of his estate in 1668 to the children of John Ayres, the Master Mariner, was that John's first wife Joan, was a sister of William Gowers, and born in England..9 |

On 20 Oct 1663 John and Joan Aier named Mr. Allex Fleming our true and lawfull attorney to acknowledge for and in our behalf all our right & title in a parcell of land sold to Henrick Lucas. This was the last transaction signed by Joan Ayres, who evidently died soon thereafter. This Alexander Fleming died a few years later and his widow, Joyce, married Capt. Lawrence Washington, who was buried in 1677 at Wakefield beside his elder brother Col. John Washington..15 |

Hill's precinct list did not show a John Ayres, perhaps he and his son John were away at sea..19 |
Land sold | 6 April 1664 | John sold land on 6 April 1664 at Rappahannock Co, VA. It was on this date that John Ayres made his first sale of land without his wife Joan providing her release of dower rights, as she was then dec'd. This land was granted to John Ayres on 24 Oct 1655 when Joan was his wife. So John alone conveyed the grant of 250 acres on the north side of the Rappahannock river to Capt. Alexander Fleming, who on 3 Mar 1664 had the land confirmed or patented direct to himself..20 |
Marriage* | after 6 April 1664 | He married Mary Hill, daughter of Capt. Richard Hill and Mary Drake, after 6 April 1664 at Westmoreland Co, VA.

Anecdote | 28 September 1664 | On 28 Sep 1664 James Browne, of Rappahannock County, was granted 346 acres on the south side of the Rappahannock River, begining at lower side of land of Wm.

The distance from the head of Pope's Creek in Westmoreland County where his father-in-law Richard Hill lived southward to the Rappahannock River nearly opposite the Ayres' land, is between five and six miles. That is the narrow part of the peninsula and where the Rappahannock is narrower than a half-mile. John Ayres' headquarters was near Tappahannock in the present county of Essex. He had acquired 6 separate tracts of land in Rappahannock County comprising 1,318 acres altogether. Evidently sometime before leaving Rappahannock County John Ayres acquired some wharfage, storage for tobacco, etc. in Accomack County as he was assessed on having besides himself, 2 persons in this service in 1663 in Accomack County. Both Richard Hill and John Ayres removed to Accomack County, as one outcome of this marriage, and there they remained close together on adjoining estates throughout the remainder of their lives..26 |

A certificate had been granted in the upper part of N'hamp Co on 16 Oct 1671 to John Eyres for 650 acres for transporting 13 persons: John Eyres himself 8 times; Robert Davis, Edw'd Broadway, Richard Lewis, George Youngman & Robert Youngman. Christopher Thompson and John Ayres became partners in maritime enterprises, John Ayres being the Master Mariner and Thompson the partner ashore. The friendship between the two lasted for 30 years and after the death of John Ayres, Thompson married John Ayres' widow..28 |
Anecdote | 20 February 1677 | According to the Journals of the House of Burgesses of Virginia, 1659/60-1693, p. 81, At a Grand Assembly began at Green Spring on 20 Feb 1676/7 the following orders of public charge were made and allowed ... to John Ayres - 700 lbs tobacco. This was evidently for his roll in transporting men and the necessities arising because of a temporary change in the seat of government back and forth between the mainland and the Eastern Shore. There was some delay in payment and on 16 May 1678 in Accomack Court "upon the petition of John Aires setting forth that he was in the countries service himself and boat over the Bay at Jamestown 30 days & having made oath to the same and also that hath rec'd no satisfaction certificate is accordingly granted him to the next assembly."29 |
Anecdote | 1679 | In 1679 John Ayres had sailed to the island of Barbados in the West Indies. Evidently Joseph Holt, an indentured servant on Barbados had completed his term of service and obtained a license to leave that island. An original manuscript in the Archives Division of the London Guildhall has this entry: "Barbardos-Tickets. A list of what tickets have been granted out of the secretary office of the island aforsaid for the departure off this island of the several persons hereafter mentioned, beginning in Jan 1678/9 & ending in December following, viz: 29 Oct 1679, Joseph Holt in the sloop Hopewell for Antegoa, John Ayres Commander." Antegoa, 480 miles north of Barbados, via the route inside of the Leeward Islands, was about 1/4 of John Ayres' journey back to Cape Charles, Virginia.30 |
Anecdote | 16 December 1680 | On 16 Dec 1680 in Accomack County Mr. Samuel Taylor came to court and voluntarily confest judgement to John Ayres for 312 lbs of good ffatt nett porke to be paid on demand according to an obligation under the said Taylor's hand bearing the date of 13 Oct 1680.31 |

Death* | after 14 January 1702 | John died after 14 January 1702 at Accomack Co, VA. It was on this date that John Ayres and his eldest son, John, Junior, put aboard a vessel, probably their sloop Hopewell, 11 or 12 head of cattle and sailed for Jones County in Pennsylvania (now Kent County, DE). As the destination could not be reached by way of Chesapeake Bay, the voyage must have been outward around Cape Charles, up the Atlantic coast, and into the Delaware Bay. Upon embarking John Ayres had two of his sons, who remained at home, and two independent witnesses sidned and filed for recordation in the Clerk's Office of Accomack a manifest of their cargo and their destiniation, doubtless as a precaution in view of the hazards of the sea in winter. It was recorded in Acc Co Deeds & Wills, 1692-1715, page 272: "Account of cattle for John Ayres which are to be transported from this county to Jones County, in Province of Pennsylvania, 4 Cows and calves and one cow with calf; 3 two year old heifers; 2 yearlings; all marked with one mark; crop on ye left ear two slitts, tow slitts under and overbit on ye right and underbit." Signed Francis Ayres, Edmun Ayres, William Willett & Wm. Chance. What happened on this voyage is unkown, other then neither John Ayres or his son John returned alive. .2,21 |
Burial* | His body was interred at Ayres Monument, Greenbush, Acc Co, VA. A memorial stone was observed in the autumn of 1937 on the farm of Mr. Fletcher Scott, near Drummond's Mill, west of Greenbush, which read "In memory of John Ayres, Mariner, of Rappahannock County, Virginia, who settled in Accomack, was born 1666, died 1702." In turn Henrietta Ayres Sheppard erected a family memorial which is shown on Whitelaw's tract A87A, which shows him as John Eyres (Ayres), mariner of Rappahannock County, Virginia, who settled in Accomac before 1666 and died circa 1702..21,35 |
