  Court - named in suit	18 Jan 1680/81	Accomack County, Virginia, USA   [2]
  	Peter Parker (attorney: Cha. Holden), who commenced a suit against William Tayler, Sr., produced a condition in which he had agreed to plant at Tayler’s with three of his “hands” for a full share of the 1679 crops of tobacco and corn. Parker claimed that he had performed his part of the bargain, but Tayler refused to give Parker any share of the crop and had disposed of eleven hogsheads of tobacco for his own use. Tayler had also detained a heifer (and her increase) that had formerly been given to Parker. The court ordered that the difference be referred to the next court, where Tayler was to give a full accounting of the crop, both sold and unsold. Deposition of Tarlow Cary aged about 18 years: Last summer Cary saw Tayler deliver to his overseer, Peter Parker, a year old heifer that now has a calf. Signed and sworn in open court 18 January 1680/81, by Tarlo (H) Care. Deposition of Jno. Elliot: Elliot said the same as Cary. Signed and sworn in open court by John (X) Eullet (sic). William Tayler, Sr., began action against Peter Parker for 5000 lbs tobacco for damages for neglecting the crop when he was Tayler’s overseer and also for 314 lbs tobacco for a debt. The court ordered that this action be deferred to the next court, along with Parker’s suit.
