Anecdote | Keep in mind that I'm trying to put everyone I find in Acc & N'hamp Co Court Records into the MilesFiles and eventually link them together into families. The vast majority of the persons in the MilesFiles are in family groups as found in wills, deeds, orders, etc. However, when I find people like Esther, Hugh & William Perkins and they seem to be in the same geographical area and perhaps about the same age, I'll link them together as I did here as siblings. That may help me later as more information is found on either of the 3 of them. (M.K. Miles.) | |

Anecdote* | From a book review - The American family has provided fertile ground for historians and social scientists during the past few decades, but few writers approach the subject the way Kari J. Winter, a professor of American studies, does in her most recent work. Her title seems to indicate her focus will be the life of an individual. But Winter actually takes a detailed look at the evolution and devolution of the entire Prentis clan, sketching an interesting picture of early 19thcentury American family life in all its variety, complexity and contradiction. She begins with the English Prentises, tracing the migration of William Prentis to America and his rise in the business world of Williamsburg, Virginia. He also founded an important family in this important colony, one that Winter follows into its next generation, focusing primarily on John B. Prentis’s father, Judge Joseph Prentis. His activities as a member of Virginia’s upper crust, including his marriage to Margaret Bowdoin and the rearing of their four children who reached adulthood, make up the bulk of her narrative in this early section. It is their younger son, however, the John B. Prentis of the title, who begins to shape the story. He was not like the rest of them. He broke their traditional mold of respectability, dismissed their genteel interests as extraneous, and shunned the careers acceptable to his class. John intended to become his own man, a self-made one if necessary. He persuaded his father to let him blaze a unique path and became apprenticed to a Philadelphia builder/architect. John learned the ropes the hard hands-on way, and after his father’s death returned to Virginia to take up the building trade in Richmond, one of the fastest growing cities in the South. As Winter explores John’s complicated relationships with older brother Joseph and two sisters, she exposes the great sadness that clouded all their lives. None of these people was very happy, despite their privileged upbringing. In John’s case, however, it was not for want of trying, though his efforts too often relied on the false maxim that enough money could buy anything, including joyfulness. He did not like books and found tedious the education that made his brother a successful attorney. Rather, John at first preferred prosperous artisan work and then lucrative business arrangements that promised wealth and status. Ultimately he chose the slave trade as his primary occupation, a decision seemingly incompatible with his earlier anti-slavery sentiments. This sordid business meant a steady income bounteous enough to expand his property holdings and improve his standard of living, but it also soiled him in the estimation of polite Southern society.1 |

Turnor said that sometimes Selevant would work on Saturdays till breakfast time, or till noon, or not at all. About 1000 plants that were cut and lay on the ground for two nights were ruined by the frost. After the tobacco was cured, Teage Andrews came to strike it for Selevant, but Fooke would not allow it.

It was agreed that Fookes would not take his hands away from the crop except for grinding corn for bread. Signed, Thomas (T) Norly.

But since no damage was proved, the court advised the jury to amend their verdict, and each paid their respective charges. The verdict was delivered 16 July 1667, by Wm. Custis. On 6 May 1665, Mr. James Fookes agreed to build for Mrs. Ann Hack a sloop to carry 35 hogsheads of tobacco. It was to be built of corbel work with a cabin.

Pitt used two sloops to bring the tobacco on board, one carried 42 hogsheads and the other 27. These two sloops were continually employed for four months. The weakness of the Dove required Pitt to hire several carpenters; without this work, it would have been impossible for the ship to have made the voyage. Each of the following carpenters was paid 50 lbs tobacco per day: William Wilson for 41 days, James Fookes for 17 days, Thomas Godding for 6 days, and John Keeble for 30 days. Isaac Medcalfe was hired for 40 days at 30 lbs tobacco per day.

Jury duty | 11 February 1684/85 | He served on a jury on 11 February 1684/85 at Accomack Co, VA. He was shown as Mr. James Foakes.29 |
Land deeded from* | 1686 | He deeded land in 1686 at tract A56, south side Matchatank Creek, Acc Co, VA. Fookes had sold his 400 acres, but given no deed, to William Willson, who died in 1683, leaving his purchase to Naomy Anderson, and 3 years later in 1686, James Fooks gave her a formal deed for the property. It was at the mouth of Matchtank Creek on the south side, and the waterway below which extends north into this tract and south into tract A55 was called Long Gut in early times, but on modern maps it now is Tarkill Creek. Naomi married Francis Makemie and this must have been their first home. According to Herbert C. Fooks the deed read as follows: I, James Fowkes of Accomac County, in the Coloney of Va. marriner, sell to William Willison, 400 acres of land lying on the south side Matchabranch(sic) Creek, in consideratoin of twenty thousand pounds (20,000) of tobacco and caske. The said land was formerly granted to James Price by Patent, 12th January 1661, and by him assigned to Henry Smith and the said Henry Smith sold and assigned to me. Signed: James Fookes.12,2 |
Anecdote | 2 February 1685/86 | On 2 Feb 1685/86 in Accomack County Court John Washbourne was granted a judgment of 348 lbs tobacco against Mr. James Fookes, who was also to pay the costs of the suit.30 |
Anecdote | 10 March 1685/86 | On 10 Mar 1685/86 in Accomack County Court, the suit of Mr. James Fookes against Mr. William Anderson was dismissed, there being no cause of action. A nonsuit was granted against Fookes with court costs.31 |
Anecdote | 12 January 1686/87 | On 12 Jan 1686/87 in Accomack County Court Maj. Charles Scarburgh informed the court that William Rawlins concealed himself as a tithable; when the list was to be submitted, he was a servant to Mr. James Fooks. Since Rawlins was not in court to answer the charges, the court ordered that if he failed to make his defense at the next court, judgment would be confirmed against him.32 |
Death* | before 18 September 1688 | He died before 18 September 1688 at Accomack Co, VA. On 18 Sep 1688 in Accomack County Court William Rawlins sued James Fooke, who could not be found by the sheriff. Now Cha. Holden appeared to answer, but Rawlins failed to appear. The suit was dismissed. (NOTE: He may have been dec'd by this time as he never appeared again in court.) On 24 Nov 1688 Willian Rawlins sued James Fooks, whom the sheriff could not find. Fooks' attorney (Charles Holden) appeared, bailed attachment and requested that the case be referred to the next court, which was granted. On 19 Dec 1688 in Accomack County Court William Rawlins sued Mr. James Fookes, who was not found by the sheriff. Charles Holden, on behalf of Fookes, had appeared at the last court, bailed attachment and requested that the case be deferred. Now the court found no cause for action and dismissed the suit. At Holden's request a nonsuit was granted against Rawlins with court costs.33 |
Anecdote | 19 June 1689 | On 19 Jun 1689 in Accomack County Court Mr. Samuel Sandford sued James Fooks, whom the sheriff could not find. Mr. Charles Holden, who appeared on behalf of Fooks, was granted his request that the case be referred to the next court. On 17 Sep 1689 in Accomack County Court Mr. Samuel Sandford (attorney: Mr. Robinson) sued Mr. James Fooks, whom the sheriff could not find. Upon the petition of Sandford, it was ordered that attachment for 6 lbs 16 shillings 6 pence and court costs issue against the estate of Fooks. (NOTE: This was the first time his estate was mentioned, so he was definitely dec'd by this date.) On 19 Nov 1689 Mr. Samuel Sandford had procured an attachment of 6 pounds 16 shillings 6 pence against the estate of Mr. James Fooks. Sandford's attorney, Mr. Tully Robinson, informed the court that because of Sandford's absence across the bay, the attachment was not served--the sheriff required Sandford's bond before serving it. Ordered that the case be continued to the next court. On 17 Dec 1689 Mr. Samuel Sandford had procured an attachment of 6 pounds 16 shillings 6 pence against the estate of Mr. James Fooks. Now the sheriff returned the attachment served on several creatures that Sandford alleged were part of the estate. The two cattle and three horses, variously marked, were "too wild to be got into a pen. Sandford swore that it was at the request of James Fooks that he had paid the money to the commissioners "for the clearing (of) the ship Phoenix, of which Fooks was the commander and owner." Ordered that execution proceed to satisfy the debt and the costs of the suit. (Side note: execution was served upon the creatures belonging to Fooks' estate, signed Wm. Marshall, subsheriff.)34 |
