Signed 4 July 1674 by John Cole. Witt: Jno. Tankard. Presented in open Court on 2 Feb 1674 by Henry Mathews who owned himself obliged to purchase a cow & calf for his daughter. Recorded 2 Feb 1674.2 |
| Anecdote* | 26 November 1677 | At a court held in Northampton County on 26 Nov 1677 it was ordered that freeholders and housekeepers within their precinct make a choice where the court for the County of Northampton should be held. At a court held on 1 Jan 1678 it was stated that "By the votes of the inhabitants of the county of Northampton they have made choice of Henry Mathews, his house at the place called The Hornes, for the court to be kept for the future. The court doth therefore ... license the said Mathews to keep an ordinary there. The Horns derived its name from two branches of Savage's Creek, which extend out from the main creek like a pair of horns. The section known as the Horns was not far from the present court house site at Eastville, VA. In 1678 the justices of Northampton County contracted with Henry Mathews to build a jail for one thousand pounds of tobacco. Court was held at the Horns from 1677-1679. In 1679 William Cowdrey, "Ordinary Keeper," assigned his life lease to land on Savage's Creek to Henry Mathews, "Ordinary Keeper."1 |

Walter Matthews will of 20 Aug 1681, proved 21 Oct 1683, names a wife Sarah Matthews and 5 children John, Sarah, Esther, Mary and Elizabeth. Since Lucy Ames Edwards states that the marriage agreement between Col. William Kendall and the widow Sarah Matthews was dated 6 Jun 1684, which was after Walter Matthews' will was proved and before Henry Matthews wrote his will, Sarah was obviously the widow of Walter Matthews.3 |

Sarah Mathews one cow and calf by her side named "Cole", belonging to her from her godfather Henry Yardley at his decease. To my youngest dau.
