William Groten II (carpenter)1,2
M, b. circa 1725, d. before 29 November 1774
| Birth* | circa 1725 | William Groten II (carpenter) was born circa 1725 at Accomack Co, VA.3 |
| Land bought* | 1746 | He bought land in 1746 at tract A35, Pungoteague Creek, Accomack Co, VA. It was in this year that Henry Gascoyne, as son and heir of Thomas, sold 121 acres to William Groton. The bounds were exactly the same as for the 280 acres which previously had been sold by Middleton, so perhaps the land had never been surveyed heretofore and a deficiency of nearly 50% had developed. In 1774 he left to his son William "the plantation where I now live," containing 125 acres, so it was evidently the same land he had bought from Gascoyne. In 1777 his son William left to his brother Zerobabel Groten "the plantation where my mother and I live, containing 175 acres," and his will also contained this item: "The public house with the privileges now belonging to it to be enjoyed by Benjamin Hutcheson for the present year and the year following, he accounting for it at the rate he now give of £30 year."4,2 |
| Marriage* | circa 1748 | He married Amy (-----) circa 1748.5 |

| Land bought | 1754 | He bought land in 1754 at tract A39, Pungoteague, Accomack Co, VA. It was in this year that Thomas Johnson and his wife Rachel resold to William Groten Jr., together with 50 acres which he had bought from Henry Bayly. Then in 1760 Hillary Beloat of Bluford County, NC, sold the north 50 acres to William Groten Jr. and the south 50 acres to Caleb Ames.9 |
| Deed of Mort name in* | 26 September 1758 | He was named in deed of mortgage on 26 September 1758 at Pocomoke Br, Pungoteague, Accomack Co, VA. This indenture made 26 Sept 1758 between Abraham Taylor and his wife Sarah and Richard Read and Henry Read. On 27 July 1757 Abraham petitioned for a mill, owning land on one side of a Branch of Pungoteague Creek called Pocomoke Branch, desirous to build a Water Grist Mill & needing an acre on the opposite side of the branch. On 13 August 1757 twelve free holders (Edmund Scarburgh & 11 others that had been selected) viewed the land and noted that some adjacent land would also go under water. There would be damage to the land of John Read, who possessed the said acre valued at 35 shillings & 6 pence, and to adjacent land owned by William Groten, valued at 6 pence. Abraham Taylor, who was to pay for the land, agreed with Richard Read and Henry Read that he would convey to each of them 1/3 part of his right & interest in the 1 acre and 1/3 part of the 1 acre next to & adjoining the mill to be built. Abraham Taylor & Sarah his wife sold this 1/3 right & interest to Richard Read & his heirs for 25 shillings & 1/3 part of said 2 acres mentioned above. Abraham Taylor & Sarah his wife also sold this 1/3 right & interest to Henry Read & his heirs for 25 shillings & 1/3 part of said 2 acres mentioned above. Access to enter into & upon the said premises for & towards the erecting & finishing of said mill & for that purpose to go through the land & plantation of Abraham Taylor with horses & carts or other necessaries to & from the said premises. Abraham will proceed to & with them (Richard & Henry) to build & finish the said mill & find & provide 1/3 part of all the necessaries that shall be required in completing & finishing the same. Richard & Henry agreed to the same. This is to continue after the death of any of the parties (by their heirs, Extrs or assignees) to keep the mill in repair & grinding. Signed by Abraham Taylor, Sarah Taylor, Richard Read & Henry Read.10 |
| Land bought | 1759 | He bought land in 1759 at tract A35, Pungoteague Creek, Accomack Co, VA. It was in this year that Esther Lecatt, wife of Charles, gave a deed of release to William Groten for 102 acres which "he had purchased of Charles Lecatt." The land was at the southeastern or lower end of the tract. In 1774 Groten left to his son William, who 3 years later left to his brother Jonathan. In 1784 Jonathan sold to Thomas Jacob, and 10 years later he resold to Samuel Trader, who was accumulating land in that vicinity.11 |

William Seymour petitioned that the road from the sea side to Pongoteague Church ran through his land (much to his prejudice); he asked to move the road to another part of his land. Richard Read, Henry Read, William Groten and Ezekiel Ashby (or any three) were to view the site.12 |
| Land bought* | 1765 | He bought land in 1765 at tract A54, Pungoteague Creek, Accomack Co, VA. It was in this year that Henry & Elizabeth Scarburgh sold 182 aces to William Groten; it was the end of the panhandle section of the tract and the part which is east of the present bayside road; it was bounded on the northeast by A62, on the southeast by A53, and on the southwest by the head-branch of Pungoteague Creek. In 1777 Groten left to his brother Zerobabel and in 1786 he and his wife Ann sold to William Read. (NOTE: It was probably this William's son William who left this land to his brother Zerobabel.)13 |

| Married Name | circa 1798 | As of circa 1798,her married name was Milby. |
| Land sold* | 1810 | Betsy Kellam sold land in 1810 at Accomack Co, VA. In 1810 when Hutchinson Kellam and his wife Sarah sold their part of tract A5 (between Belle Haven & Quinby) to George S. Savage, the deed incuded another 175 acres, which must have been the original John Savage third of the tract. In that deed Hutchinson and Sarah Kellam were joined by other Kellam heirs: Custis Kellam, femme sole, and Betsy Milby, widow of Gilbert Milby; it recited that the land had belonged to their grandmother and had descended to them upon the death of their father John Kellam in 1785. Unfortunately, neither the name of the grandmother nor the first name of her husband was given, but possibly she had been the sole heir of the John Savage who had inherited this part in 1717 from his father Roland Savage. (Note: An indepth look into this relationship shows that John Savage named 3 young chirldren in his will of 1728: Charles, Patience and Mary. The John Kellam, who died in 1785, was the son of Joseph and Patience Kellam, thus this Patience, mother of John Kellam, was certainly the daughter named in the will of 1728.)2 |

| Land left* | 1746 | She left land in 1746 at tract A6, Neville's or Bell's Neck, Accomack Co, VA. John Fosque left his plantation to his wife Mary for life and then it was to be divided among their several children, but his son Nathaniel was the next owner so perhaps he claimed it all as the heir-at-law. In 1777 Nathaniel Fosque mentioned no land in his will but named his wife Ann and five children as residuary legatees. In 1796 the widow Ann, Nathaniel and Margaret Fosque, John and Mary Smith, George and Ann Smith, and Anthony and Elizabeth West joined in a deed to John Fosque for 325 acres, the deed reciting that John was the eldest son and they felt it had been the intent of the father Nathaniel to have then land go to him. In 1817 John Fosque (wife Peggy) left his land to his son Nathaniel. A recent land book showed that the souther 124 acres were owned by William T. Fosque and the upper 150 acres by S. Bayly Turlington.6 |

Custis Kellam Jr.1
M, b. 1780, d. before 25 March 1811
| Birth* | 1780 | Custis Kellam Jr. was born in 1780 at Accomack Co, VA.1 |

| Land sold* | 1810 | Custis Kellam Jr. sold land in 1810 at Accomack Co, VA. In 1810 when Hutchinson Kellam and his wife Sarah sold their part of tract A5 (between Belle Haven & Quinby) to George S. Savage, the deed incuded another 175 acres, which must have been the original John Savage third of the tract. In that deed Hutchinson and Sarah Kellam were joined by other Kellam heirs: Custis Kellam, femme sole, and Betsy Milby, widow of Gilbert Milby; it recited that the land had belonged to their grandmother and had descended to them upon the death of their father John Kellam in 1785. Unfortunately, neither the name of the grandmother nor the first name of her husband was given, but possibly she had been the sole heir of the John Savage who had inherited this part in 1717 from his father Roland Savage. (Note: An indepth look into this relationship shows that John Savage named 3 young chirldren in his will of 1728: Charles, Patience and Mary. The John Kellam, who died in 1785, was the son of Joseph and Patience Kellam, thus this Patience, mother of John Kellam, was certainly the daughter named in the will of 1728.)1 |
| Death* | before 25 March 1811 | He died before 25 March 1811 at Accomack Co, VA. It was on this date that administration on the estate of Custis Kellam Jr. was granted to Hutchinson Kellam with Isaac Dunton & Levin S. Joynes securities.4 |
| Land cause* | 30 November 1814 | He was named in a land cause on 30 November 1814 at Accomack Co, VA. It was on this date that it was recorded that a certain Custis Kellam by deed dated 4 Dec. 1807 mortgaged to your orator a certain lot of ground at Bell Haven in this County, containing 1/5 acre; that some time after this, to-wit: on the ____ day of March, 1811, the said Custis Kellam departed this life intestate leaving the following children, Allen, Eliza, George & Sarah, Katharine & Ann Kellam and Leah B. Kellam his widow, &c.5 |

| Land sold* | 1752 | She sold land in 1752 at Northampton Co, VA. In 1729 John & Mary Walter deeded the south 160 acres of tract N65 to Solomon Walter, whose relationship to them was not determined. Solomon died intestate leaving a son of the same name and a widow Tabitha, who married Read Fletcher. In 1752 young Solomon sold 25 acres to William Dunton and the next year the balance of 135 acres, after Read & Tabitha Fletcher released her downer interest to both Solomon & Dunton.

| Anecdote* | 1775 | According to Whitelaw, in 1680 Thomas Clark bought a part of tract A3 from Robert Gill and his wife Frances. It 1737 in a verbal will, a Blake Clark left everything to his wife Tabitha, who as Tabitha Fletcher left a will in 1775 and mentioned a son Richard Walter and some Walter grandchildren, as well as a son John Fletcher, so that after the death of Clark, she must have married married a Walter before she married a Fletcher. It is possilbe that instead of Blake Clark having inherited the Thomas Clark land, it had gone to an unknown brother of his, who died intestate leaving daughters Peggy and Keziah as his heirs. In support of this, it may be noted that Tabitha Clark-Walter-Fletcher mentioned no Clark children in her will. Her son Richard Walter married the above Peggy, and in 1774 they united with Keziah Clark in a 10-year lease for 69 acres to George Hancock. The lease stated that the land was a part of 104 acres, the balance being held by Peggy Turner as her dower, but neither the first name of her Clark husband nor the name of her second husband Turner were given. In 1787 Richard Walter (wife Peggy) left the 104 acres to her son Richard, but Kesiah Clark was to have maintenance as long as she lived. Both the bounds in the lease and a later survey place the 104 acres just where the land covered by the original patent to William Wouldhouse was located.8 |

George (of Geo of Thos Sr) Bell Sr.1
M, b. circa 1690, d. before 8 December 1772
| Birth* | circa 1690 | George (of Geo of Thos Sr) Bell Sr. was born circa 1690 at Marionville, Northampton Co, VA.1,2 |
| Will - Father's* | 7 August 1721 | George was named in his father's will on 7 August 1721 at Northampton Co, VA. In his will George Bell gave to my three sons George, Jeodiah, and Ezekiel (after the death of my loving wife Hannah) n. girls Nan and Betty. To son Jonathan. To my dau. Rachel Powel. To my dau. Sarah Powel. To my son David. Sons George, Jeodiah and Ezekiel extrs. Witt: Edward 'X' Belote, William 'X' Brickhouse, Jacob Stringer.1 |
| Biography* | 1729 | George (II) Bell may have begun farming with his father and two brothers, Jehodiah and Ezekiel, when he was in his teens, around 1715-20. Although their father's plantation was left to the three brothers, it appears that each established separate plantations over time. Deed records show that Ezekiel brought 200 acres of seaside land from Scott Grice in 1734 and that George and Ezekiel signed a deed of trust to help finance this purchase. By the time George and his brothers began farming, the Eastern Shore had been under cultivation for about one hundred years and changes in farming had occurred.
Farmers on the Eastern Shore, like those in other parts of the colony in the early 1600's, placed emphasis on the cultivation of tobacco according to Ames. Tobacco was the major export, the medium of exchange and the medium through which taxes were paid. Tobacco began to lose favor on the Shore after the middle of the century when yields dropped due to disease problems. During the 1660's England passed the "trade acts" which required that all trade from the colonies be on English ships and this drastically reduced tobacco sales to the Netherlands and other European countries. Prices of tobacco dropped sharply, resulting in a large decline in tobacco production on the Eastern Shore from which it never recovered. Reflecting this change, the legal tender on the Shore began to change from tobacco to corn as suggested by a Northamption court record of 1664 where of a total of nine debtors listed, eight of the debts were due in corn, and only one in tobacco.
Typically included on the farms in the early 1700's were small fields of Indian corn, English wheat and barley. A field of vegetables, such as carrots, onions, artichokes, potatoes, asparagus, yams and watermelons, could be expected. Each plantation had a meadow, wasteland and woodland, an important part of the farm since this supported the cattle production. Cattle production must have been important to the early Bells on the Shore since cattle were specifically mentioned in wills of both George's father and his grandfather. There were also horses, goats, sheep, swine and poultry on many farms at that time. At the end of the century, Francis Makemie (Virginia Magazine of History) wrote: "Here are stocks of all sorts raised and maintained with little industry, and by better husbandry might be improved to a high degree." Farming at the turn of the eighteenth century seems to have been a low-tech, labor intensive family enterprise.
George (II) Bell was married to Leah (maiden name unknown) and they had six children. They had two sons, Joab (1724-1794) and Robert, and four daughters, Rachel, Ann, Elizabeth, and Hannah. Little is known about any of the children except for Joab. George (II) must have been active in politics. Elizabeth Ireland reports that he served at least one term as a member of the House of Burgesses representing Northampton County at a time when the Colonial Capital of Virginia was still in Williamsburg.
In George (II) Bell's 1772 will he left his whole estate, except the Negro boy Peter, to his wife, Leah Bell, for her natural life. The Negro boy Peter was to be sold to pay off his debts. He defined his estate to include "my dwelling, one hundred acres, more or less, of land, all my Negroes, except Peter, all my household furnishings, crops, horses, cattle, sheep and hogs, and all other things that are my own property". After the death of his wife, he left the entire plantation to his son Joab. Again, after the death of his wife, he left the slaves as follows: Negro fellow Jack to my son Robert, Negro woman Jane to my daughter Rachel Isdall, Negro girl Ester to my daughter Anne Scott, Negro woman Bridget to my daughter Elizabeth Bell, Negro girl Comfort and my Negro girl Patience to my daughter Hannah Bell. The remainder of his estate was to be divided between the daughters, Elizabeth Bell and Hannah Bell. Elizabeth and Hannah were appointed as Executors. He adds "I also appoint my trusted friends, John Brickhouse and Hezekiah Brickhouse, as trustees to see to the management of my Estate of my will and my desire is that my Executors should do nothing concerning the management of my estate as long as my wife shall live, without the liberty of my trustees."
George (II) died at the age of eighty-two in 1772. Two of his daughters, had not married and apparently lived at the home plantation with their mother, Leah. It is curious that he left the plantation to Joab, yet appointed his Brickhouse friends as trustees to oversee the management of his estate. Why not Joab and why did the Executors, Elizabeth and Hannah, need trustees anyway? Since Ezekiel purchased 200 acres of land from Grice in 1734, is it safe to assume he moved away and left George and Jehodiah to share the 200 acres on Phillips Creek. Since there are no deeds showing that either George or Jehodiah purchased land in Northampton, it seems that they must have split their inherited land into two 100 acre tracts, thus accounting for the 100 acres mentioned in the will of Joab Bell.3 |
| Marriage* | circa 1730 | He married Leah (-----) circa 1730.4 |
| Will* | 28 December 1771 | George made a will on 28 December 1771 at Northampton Co, VA. In his will George Bell Sr. gave to wife Leah loan of entire estate (except n. boy Peter) including 100 A.
