Birth*

1645

William Fletcher I (cordwainer) was born in 1645.^1,4

Anecdote*

Mary Frances Carey stated that while Eastern Shore of Virginia records do not show a family connection, it is logical to suppose the James Fletcher, head right for William Stone in 1635, was the father of William Fletcher (d. 1710), Robert Fletcher (d. 1694) and Stephen Fletcher (d. 1713). The records do not show an actual connection between these three men, however, there is no doubt but that they were contemporaries, and the records do show them living in the same general location. William Fletcher, as a young man, was located between "Naswattox and Occahanock Creeks," the neck of land north of William Stone's patent. Robert Fletcher's wife Frances, the widow Johnson, deeded land to her son Jephtha on Nassawadox Creek in 1684. One of the witnesses to the inventory of Stephen Fletcher was Francis Wainhouse, who owned land on Occahannock Creek.³

Age was stated*

20 November 1672

His age was stated on 20 November 1672 at Accomack Co, VA. Deposition of William Fletcher aged about 26 years: About the middle of last August, Fletcher accompanied Mr. Edward Grindley between Nuswattox and Occahanock. When Fletcher said he had heard that Greenly (sic) had come in on the ship's account and that Mrs. Browne had paid his passage, Greenly replied, "Mr. Browne had paid seven pounds sterling for me." When asked if that wasn't for his passage, Greenly replied, "It was for my passage, but I must pay Mr. Browne again the next year." Signed 18 November 1672, William Fletcher.^5,6

Marriage*

circa 1674

He married Elizabeth Selve, daughter of Tobias Selve and Elizabeth Chilcott, circa 1674 at Accomack Co, VA.⁷

Age was stated

September 1674

His age was stated in September 1674 at Accomack Co, VA. He was shown as Wm. Fletcher, age 29.⁵

Land bought*

1689

William Fletcher I (cordwainer) bought land in 1689 at tract A24, between Pungoteague & Craddockville, Accomack Co, VA. Whitelaw shows that in 1689 Abraham Taylor sold 50 acres of this track to William Fletcher which had come to him by his marriage to Sarah Smalley. Fletcher was the husband of Elizabeth Selvey and this parcel became merged with that land. Deed Index shows Abraham Taylor & wife Sarah sold land to William Fletcher in 1691, which may have been the date it was recorded.^8,9

Deed of Gift - Named*

6 December 1690

He was named in a deed of gift on 6 December 1690 at Accomack Co, VA. Owen Collonon Junior recorded a deed of gift to Thomas Fletcher, son of William Fletcher and Elizabeth his wife. He gave him "one heifer of three years old last Spring marked as ffolloweth Swallow tailed on ye left ear and underbitted and slitt on ye right ear and now in the possession of William Fletcher, to him and the said Thomas Fletcher with her increase for ever excepting he male increase to go to this father William Fletcher for his care in looking after the stock until the said Thomas arrives to ye age of 16 years, then to be in possession, but if the said Thomas Fletcher dies before he attains the age of 16 years, then I greely give the said heifer to Elizabeth Fletche with her increase forever & which is attested on the 6th day of December 1690." (NOTE: Mary Frances Carey assumed this Elizabeth Fletcher was the third unnamed daughter of Owen Colonna Jr. However, it appears by other evidence that this is Elizabeth Selve, daughter of Tobias Selve, and there seems to be no obviouse reason why Owen Colonna Jr. was giving this deed of gift.)^12,13

Anecdote

6 September 1733

On 6 Sep 1733 at Accomcak Court David Watson and his wife Sarah brought an action of trespass against Josiah Harrison; the jury brought in a special verdict. They found that Tobias Selvey had been granted a patent on 5 April 1666, for 600 acres, of which the plaintiffs' land was part. They found that Selvey deeded 150 acres of the land to Willm. Fletcher and his wife Elizabeth, who was Selvey's daughter. (The jury annexed the patent, deed and Selvey's will.) The jury found that the female plaintiff was widow to the heir at law of Willm. and Elizabeth Fletcher, and as such was possessed of the land, and no dower had been assigned to her by the heir, who, at the time of his death, was using the land in question as his "mannor Plantation." The jury also found that there was an old line between the plaintiffs' land and the defendant's father, which was processioned three times and "was an old Line before that time & that the Defendant on that side of the Line where the plantiffs Plantation lyes cut & carryed away several Timbers." If the law favored the plaintiffs, the jury would award them five shillings sterling in damages. If it favored the defendant, the jury would find for him. The matter of law was to be argued at the next court. And on the same date David Watson and his wife Sarah brought an action of trespass against Joseph Harrison. The jury awarded the plaintiffs one penny sterling in damages. The court noted that the title of the land was in question, and ordered that the plaintiffs recover their full costs and one attorney’s fee. On 9 Nov 1733 it was recorded David Watson and his wife Sarah had brought action of trespass against Josiah Harrison, and a special verdict was reached. After discussing the matter, the court decided the law favored the plaintiffs, who were to recover five shillings sterling in damages. The court was of the opinion that the title of the land had come into question.⁶
