Hack asked (me) whether I was looking for another bull. (Nelson) replied, 'I know a cow from a bull.' Then Capt. Hack said that, 'They say that I have a bull.' Then (I) replied, 'Truly, sir, it is so reported.' Then the said Capt Hack demanded of (me), 'Who says so?' (I) replied that 'Samuel Palmer reports it to be truth.' Then the said Capt. Hack demanded of (me) what a bull was. 'Truly, sir, I cannot tell, for I never saw one in my life, but I will tell you my thought of it.' 'What are?' replied the said Capt. Hack. I said, 'I remember that we read that the Children of Israel were under the Egyptian bondage and that it pleased God to command them to take blood and sprinkle on the post of their doors that when the destroyer came and saw blood sprinkled, he was to pass by their doors and to foul on the Egyptians. And when there was any persecution or trouble on the Protestants, those that had not these bulls or papers--they were to pass by their doors (who had the papers) and to foul on them that had them not.' Then replied Capt. Hack, 'You think then that the Popish party had a great kindness for me?' 'Sir,' replied this deponent, 'You know best.' Then said Capt. Hack, 'You know the King was a Papish and that was the flourishing religion then on foot, and if it were your own case, if you had any profit or gain coming in, would you leave it?' This deponent replied and said, 'If it were to gain a thousand pounds, nay, I had rather suffer death itself than flinch one tithe from my principle.' Then replied the said Capt. Hack, 'You are a man of another judgment.'" Signed and sworn in open court 21 November 1689, by John Nelson.2 |

Court - named in ord* | 6 August 1691 | John (f/o Bowles) Nelson was named in a court order on 6 August 1691 at Accomack Co, VA. An inquest into the death of Bowles Nellson, son of John Nellson (a miller) by a former wife, was made by Capt. William Custis, coroner of the county. By virtue of a precept from Maj. Charles Scarburgh, Joane, the current wife of Nellson, had been taken into the sheriff's custody and was to personally appear this day. The justices read the inquisition and evidence relating to the death of Bowles. The grand jury, which was to determine whether Joane was "willfully and premeditatedly ye cause of ye death", instead found that "Joane, by her foolish, unadvised and rash acting hath been the cause of the said Bowles Nelson's death." The justices, who read the verdict, found no cause to bind her over for trial and ordered her to be discharged. John Nellson paid all charges in the matter. Recorded was the jury's verdict that "the death of Bowles Nelson by Joan, his mother-in-law (step-mother)" was caused by "her foolish unadvised and rash acting." Signed by Robt. Hutchinson, foreman.6 |

Sheriff Mr. Thomas Welburne was ordered to take a bond (in the penalty of 300 pounds sterling) for their appearance. Since Susanna Hilliard, who was a servant to John and Joan Nellson, could not post her own bond, and the court thought it to be an inconvenience for her master to do so, it was ordered that the sheriff take care to see she attended the court before the governor and council.1 |
Court - named in ord | 17 November 1691 | He was named in a court order on 17 November 1691 at Accomack Co, VA. Susanna Hilliard had been presented for fornication and for having a bastard child. Because Mr. John Nellson agreed to pay her fine, he was ordered to pay 500 lbs tobacco to the church warden with court charges.1 |
Tax list | 1692 | He was on the tax list in 1692 at Accomack Co, VA. He was shown as Jno. Nellson with 2 tithes on Capt. Bally's list. He was listed next to Mr. Teackle. (NOTE: John Nelson Jr. gave a Letter of Attorney to Maj. Richard Bayly of Accomack County on 18 June 1695 when he sold his mill on Occahannock Creek.)30 |
Court - named in ord | 24 September 1692 | He was named in a court order on 24 September 1692 at Accomack Co, VA. Mr. Thomas Welburne, high sheriff, exhibited an account of charges accruing for the trial of Joan, wife of John Nellson, who was tried as a criminal at the general court. The court consulted the law and found that John Nellson was liable for the whole cost (if his estate extended that far). Ordered that the sheriff take into custody that much of Nellson's estate, inventory it and report to the next court.31 |
Court - named in ord | 16 November 1692 | He was named in a court order on 16 November 1692 at Accomack Co, VA. Mr. Thomas Welburne, sheriff, presented the inventory of goods seized from John Nellson. Ordered that the estate be sold at auction unless Nellson gave immediate security.32 |
Tax list | 1693 | He was on the tax list in 1693 at Accomack Co, VA. He was shown as Jno. Nellson with 2 tithes. He was listed between Jno. Watts and Arthur Upshur.33 |
Tax list | 1694 | He was on the tax list in 1694 at Accomack Co, VA. There were 2 Jno. Nellsons listed next to each other, one with 1 tith and the other with 2 tithes. They were next to Wm. Golding, Tanger. Jno. Watts Sr. was nearby. (NOTE: William Goulding was a witness to his Letter of Attonrey on 18 June 1695 when he sold his mill and land to Thomas Dent.)34 |
Court - named in ord | 8 December 1697 | He was named in a court order on 8 December 1697 at Accomack Co, VA. The action John Perry brought against the former sheriff, Capt. Thomas Welburne, had been referred to this court. Now the court ordered Welburne to give at the next court a "full account of the estate of John Nellson committed to him in order to pay & satisfy all dues in relation to Joan his wife('s) prosecution at the general court upon ye suspicion of her murdering Bowles Nellson, son of the said John Nellson."35 |
Court - named in ord | 5 January 1697/98 | He was named in a court order on 5 January 1697/98 at Accomack Co, VA. John Perry's suit against Capt. Thomas Welburne had been continued to this court so Welburne could produce the account of John Nellson's estate. Now Richard Bundick appeared with a message from Welburne, who "was taken so ill at his house yt he was not able to attend ye court by reason thereof." The action was continued to the next court.36 |
Court - named in ord | 6 April 1698 | He was named in a court order on 6 April 1698 at Accomack Co, VA. John Perry had brought action against Capt. Thomas Welburne, the recent sheriff; Perry had been summoned to testify to the General Court against Joan (the wife of John Nellson), who was suspected of murdering John's son named Bowles Nellson. Perry had attended court for 14 days, for which he should have been paid 630 lbs tobacco "from the public." Perry had been referred by the assembly to the Committee of Claims, which suspended the case to the next assembly so an account of John Nellson's estate could be presented. Welburne, as sheriff, had been empowered to take Nellson's estate into his custody and appraise it to defray the costs of Joan's prosecution, which he did. But he also had presented his own claims against the estate. The Committee of Claims had examined the sheriff's claims and "adjudged (them) to be very exorbitant and unreasonable by reason of fees unduly charged by the sheriff." The Committee had judged that there was enough to pay all just charges. Since Perry had been shut out from payment by the public, he had presented the Committee's report and asked for an order against Welburne. At the court held 8 October 1697, Welburne had put in his plea to bar this action; upon reading and considering it, the court had ordered that Welburne appear at the next court to give a full account of the estate of John Nellson. Now Welburne presented his account; after a full hearing, the court judged that the accounts were "overbalanced" and that the sheriff did not have in his hands enough of the estate to pay Perry. The suit was dismissed. Dissatisfied with the above order, John Perry requested and was granted liberty to appeal to the next General Court. Tho. Ternel was his security.37 |
Witness paid to be* | 7 June 1704 | John was paid for being a witness on 7 June 1704 at Accomack Co, VA. John Nelson petitioned to be paid for serving as a witness for Edward Taylor in his suit against John Rodgers. Since Nelson swore he attended five days, the court ordered that he be paid 200 lbs tobacco and court charges.38 |
