Accomack County, Virginia, USA [3] |
- She was shown as Anne Fowke on a certificate granted to Mr. Thomas Fowkes for 650 acres for transporting 13 persons into the colony. (NOTE: She was probably his sister and there was some delay - as was usually the case - in his requesting the certificate.)
|
| Will - Named as a Brother in a will |
10 Sep 1673 |
Accomack County, Virginia, USA [4] |
- Thomas Fowkes left 100 acres of land (Whitelaw tract A118) to a step-granddaughter Amy, the daughter of Robert and Temperance Mason. Amy married an Abbott, and the title passed to a son Mason Abbott. Before the death of Fowkes, there had been some talk of his selling 200 acres to Robert Mason, but no deed was executed; however, the land was claimed by Mason, and after his death title passed to his sister Ann Miles, and then to a son William Miles, who sold to Mason Abbott. (NOTE: Evidently Whitelaw was referring to Fowkes' sister Ann Miles, not Robert Mason's sister, as Fowkes also left another legacy to my sister Ann 'Miells.") Items were also left to a "neafew" Mary Ryle, daughter of Ann, now Ann "Miels", formerly in the possession of Henry Ryle, now in the custody of John Smally.

| Will - Named in Sister-in-laws will |

(NOTE: It is assumed that the Mary Wright who Roger and Ann Miles deeded land to in 1693, and the Mary Ryle, daughter of now Ann "Miels" and Henry Ryle in the Thomas Fowkes will of 1674, and Mary Right, daughter of Ann "Myles" and Henry Right deceased in the Amy Fowkes will of 1678 are all the same person with various spelling of the surname. It is also assumed that the Ann Miels/Miells sister of Thomas Fowkes in his will of 1674, and the Ann Myles wife of Henry Right dec'd in the Amy Fowkes will of 1678, and Ann Miles, wife of Roger Miles and mother of William Miles in Whitelaw, p. 1124 and p. 1134 are all the same person.)
