• Name	John Wallop  [1]

  Suffix	(alias Wadlow)
  Birth	Abt 1640
  Gender	Male
  Anecdote	According to Whitelaw, the use of the "alias Wadlow" was continued by numerous descendants in various documents, down to about 1800. That name has not been accounted for, and no connection between him and Nicholas Waddilow was discovered, but they may have been brothers. He must have been a man of unusual energy and ability, and among his other capablities was included that of a surveyor, and in 1664 Edmund Scarburgh appointed him his deputy, to survey all Accomack County lands. He laid out the original towns of Port Scarburgh (Onancock) and on the Secretery's Land (N39), as well as the old Wallop's road which now is largely the present U.S. Route 13.

  	In 1664 a patent was issued to William Waters for 1,350 acres of this tract, which he assigned to John Wallp (alias Wadlow) 3 years later. On 18 Mar 1666/67 William Waters and Dority Waters, both appointed their loving friend Mr. John Martin their lawful atty for a deed of sale of 1,350 acres of land to John Wallop.
