  Marriage	Abt 1667  [6, 7]
  	Herbert C. Fooks reported that Thomas Fowkes, Quaker, of Accomack Co, VA married Sarah Dorrington of Dorchester Co, MD, the daughter of William Dorrington. However, on 2 May 1680 William Dorrington of Dorchester County Gent. was firmly bound to Thomas Foulks of the said County, Chirurgeon, in the full and just sum of 14,000 pounds of tobacco to be payed in Hapfaur River of Dorchester County that 7,000 pounds of tobacco be payed by 10 Nov 1682. (NOTE: The Thomas Fowkes, Quaker, of Accomack Co, VA, lived on Onancock River and was on the tax list there every year from 1674 to 1695 was never referred to in Accomack County records as a Chirurgeon, and was never referred to as living in Dorchester County. Herbert C. Fooks made an error is assuming the Thomas Foulks of Dorchesther County, MD was the same person as Thomas Fowkes of Accomack County, VA. Roy Foulkes questioned if they were the same person, but left it unresolved. The Thomas Foulks of Dorchester had a son Nicholas and a daughter Margaret for whom he patented land in Dorchester County in 1681 and it was evidently Nicholas' son John who was shown in the Debt Book in 1734 as owning both tracts patented in Nicholas and Margaret's names. The Thomas Fowkes of Accomack made no mention of these children or this grandson in his will.)
