Francis Costin II1
M, b. circa 1695, d. before 10 July 1750

| Marriage* | circa 1718 | He married Sarah (22) (of Geo) Freshwater, daughter of George (6) Freshwater and Elizabeth Mears, circa 1718 at Northampton Co, VA.3 |
| Will - Father's* | 13 March 1720/21 | Francis was named in his father's will on 13 March 1720/21 at Northampton Co, VA. He was shown as my son Francis in the will of Francis Costin, wife Isabell. He was given 50 acres bought of John Moor and for want of heirs to his son Jacob (under 18).4 |
| Marriage* | circa 1734 | He married Agnes Somers, daughter of Thomas Somers and Ann (-----), circa 1734 at Northampton Co, VA. According to Whitelaw in 1750 Francis Costin (wife Agnes) left 110 acres in tract N9 on the bayside to his son Francis. Whitelaw assumed that his wife had been the former Agnes Somers and title to the land had come to him through her and that she had gotten it by the 1703 will of Daniel Neech left his balance of 110 acres to wife Margaret, but if she did not make disposition it was to go to Thomas and Agnes Somers. Whitelaw also conjectured that this Agnes then married Azariah Scott, as 8 years later the death of Costin the Scotts sold the same land to John Wilson. Then in tracing the owership of tract N10 Whitelaw found evidence confirming the previous assumptoin that Francis Costin had married the widow Agnes Somers and that she late married Azariah Scot of tract N9 was found in a deed from the Scotts to Matthew Costin for her dower interest in the land left to him by Francis Costin. (NOTE: One concern here is that the Agnes Somers mentioned in the will of Daniel Neech was born circa 1680 and therefore would have been somewhat older then either Francis Costin or Azariah Scott, but it does support the owership of the land. Perhaps her brother (not husband) Thomas Somers, who died intestate in 1728, had a daughter Agnes who inherited the land and married Costin and Scott.)5,6 |
