| 12 | === Research by Randy Richard Melton married Elizabeth Higgins. She apparently remaried a Higgs after his death in 1733. Richard's younger son, William was a minor when his father died and William Reno was appointed his Guardian. The other 3 young daughters, also minors, most likely stayed with their mother after she married. ... what I have is that Richard (b. 11 Mar 1712), son of Richard (d.1733) was living in PWC as late as 1768 when he deeded his land to Maj. William Reno and then moved to KY where he evently changed the spelling of his name to Milton. Book Q, Prince William County Deeds, 200 acres to Major Lewis Reno, by deed dated July 4th, 1768. This land was given to Richard (b. 1712) by his father in his will in 1733. Richard also shows up in other records prior to 1768 in PWC, VA such as the Rent Rolls from 1751 to 1770 and the tax lists. William (b. 4 Oct 1713), was a minor in 1733 when his father died. Maj. William Reno was made his guardian at the request of his father by his will. He also remained in PWC after his fathers death Virginia Northern Neck Land Grants, 1694-1742. [Vol. I] p. 144, E-470, 17 Jul 1742 William Melton is granted 164A on Buckhall branch of Bull Run adjacent to Richard Meltons land which he now owns. I believe that Elizabeth, the relict of Richard Melton, married Robert Higgs and stayed in PWC, VA. Robert Higgs is shown living in the same house as William Melton in 1747. 1747.

HIGGS -- 3 Elizabeth Higgins who married Richard Melton may be the daughter of John Higgins (d. 1702) and Mary Jones. I have not proven this but there is some evidence to support it. Richard Higgins, son of John Higgins was living in the same area as the Meltons in the 1720 to 1750 time frame. He had no direct connections with the Meltons but did have with others who interacted with them. The Jones family was also from the same region. So, for the time being I have penciled her in as the daughter of this John Higgins. === how is this Alexander Higgins related? 1747. Residents of Western Dettingen Parish, 1747.

by averment which said land soe to the said Smith conveyed was by the said Smith for the valuable consideration of 12000 lb Tobacco in hand paid conveyed by a good authentick deed considering the unskilfulness and Brevity of those times to HUGH DOWDINGE of Gloucester County by deed bearing date the 15th day of July 1659 which said deed follows in these words These presents Witnesseth that I John Smith of Westmoreland County for and in consideration of 12000 lb Tobacco and cask to be paid according to the Tens. of a Specialty bearing date with these presents have sold and do herebyassigne and set over from me and my heirs to Mr. Hugh Dowding of Glocester his heirs or assignes forever all my Right Title and Interest to and in the within mentioned land Pattent and Bill of Sale with the warranty therein mentioned as witness my hand this 25th of July 1659 (Note a year and two months after this Sale from Smith was the Northumberland acknowledgment made to him Vizt September 1660) which sale from Smith to Dowdinge was acknowledged in Stafford County Court where the land then lay by the Division of the Counties by Mrs. BEHETHLAND GILSON by name of the late relict of the aforesaid John Smith 12th June 1667 to Endeavour a full confirmation of that sale which she perhaps might know was honestly bought and justly paid for as your Petr believes and Supposes which acknowledgment follows in these words This assignment was by Mrs. Behethland Gilson the late relict of John Smith by atturney acknowledged in Court and recorded the 12th June 1667 and then also was recorded in the said Court of Stafford the originall patent to Dodson the said sale from Dodson to Smith fully as it is above expressed which said land so conveyed as aforesaid to the afsd Dowding one half thereof was by the said Dowding assigned and made over to Mr. JOHN BUCKNER of Glocester County as your Petr is informed and some-thing thereof by division upon record bearing date the 11th of April 1663 doth appeare and as your Petr believes by a further deed and Instrument though not Authentick according to the Strict Rules of Law yet considering the ignorance and Summary methods of those times your Petr conceives to be valid and then 100 acres of part of the said dividend of 1300 acres was by the said Dowding and Buckner assigned and made over to one BLAGRAVE for seating of it in their be-halves no deed upon the records or elsewhere appearing for the same yet having been 30 years or thereabouts possest quietly by the said Blagrave and his as-signs Colclough and his heirs your Petr Esteems that likewise valid the remain-der the said Dowding possest and Enjoyed himself during his natural life and left the same by Will to his Son HUGH DOWDING and his heirs forever but if he dyed without heirs then to the children of ROBERT BUTTERFIELD his wives daughters children and their heirs by whose death and the Will afsd his Wife ANNE DOWDINGE was seized and possessed of the house and Plantation where he lives upon the said land together with the one third thereof which sd Dowding quietly enjoyed during his life and she her thirds quietly and peaceably after his de-cease till her death which was about the 12th or 13th of May 1690 which wants but 2 months of 31 years of quiet possession since the first purchase and the said Dowding thereon dyed before he attained the age of twenty one years by whose decease the said Land descended and came to RICHARD DOWDINGE of London Mariner the Brother and heir of Hugh Dowding the Father and unkle and heir of Hugh Dowding the Son who came in and pursuant to his right and claim took possession thereof about 8 or 9 years since Mr. ANTHONY BUCKNER deced and your Petr being present when he took the possession aforesd and when he made the assignation of the one third to ANNE SIMMS the widow and relict of his Brother Hugh Dowding deced and the said Buckner and your Petr swore Employed by the said Richard Dowding by virtue of a procuration to them granted to oversee the occupation and possession of the other two thirds part of the land belonging to the said Dowdinge as afsd who forthwith sent up a Servant to live upon and manure part of his 2 third parts which he had then in actual possession to wit one JOHN REYNOLDS by which actual possession of Richard Dowding heir as afsd the pretensions of the said Butterfields children are taken away since which time the said Richard Dowding is dead without Will or heir or any way disposing the same by deed or otherways in his lifetime Whereby the said land became escheat to the right Honble Lord Culpepper as Chief Lord of the Fee as appears by divers deeds and grants made to his Lordship whereon he is In-titled to the same which said right of the land so escheated his Lordship by deed hath granted to your Petr for a valuable consideration by your Petr paid for the same by vertue whereof your Petr is in the actual Seisin and possession of the 2 third parts that was in the actual possession of the said Richd. Dowding deced and is kept out with force and Armes as afsd and against the peace of our Sovereign Lord and Lady King William and Queen Mary of the other part by the said Dade therefore prays for the damages of Three hundred pounds Sterling afsd and that the Sheriff may put him in possession without that that the said Francis Dade made any Lawful or Just claim to the same who pretends himself as your Petr is informed Son and heir of John Smith the purchaser of Dodson and vendor to Dowding and farther saith the said Smiths Sale to Dowding was invalid and ineffectual in Law for that there was no acknowledgment within six months according as the Law directs and consequently the right never devested out of the said Smith and so by consequence he as his son and heir the right proprietor of the said land not considering when he said soe that he himself petitiond 25th May 1664 to Sr. WILLIAM BERKLEY then Governour for the benefit of the Escheat of a Tract of 600 acres of land lying in Stafford County formerly granted to Major Jno. Smith deced which your Petr doth aver to be the same John Smith aforementioned and is ready to prove the same if it be Denyed and lately found to Escheat to his Majestie by an Inquisition in the Secretarys office under the hand and seale of Coll. PETER ASHTON by vertue of adeputation from Coll. MILES CARY his Majesties Escheator General for this country and the Jury sworn before him for the purpose dated 11th January 1664/5 as may appeare and is now granted to Francis dade who hath now made his composition to be paid according to act so that then it appears by the oaths of 12 men that the afsd John Smith dyed without heir and this found and made appeare at the motion and intercession and for the benefit and behoofe of the said Francis Dade who if had been his son and heir where was the possibility of the Land to Escheat also not considering the 31 years quiet possession as aforesaid and himself being now upwards of 30 years old and not in all this time make any Legal claim to the Title nor any Interruption to the quiet possession as aforesaid if he had been Legall heir as he pretends or the deed had been ineffectual or invalid as he folishly fancies your Petr humbly conceives he is barred by the 30th act of assembly in the Printed Booke Intituled Land 5 years in possession and further to demonstrate his nonclaims to the said Land and his acknowledgment of the Right to those in possession in June last 1689 he took a Lease and became tenant to the said Ann Sims the widow and relict of the aforesaid Hugh Dowding deced, Her for the same the yearly rent of 1200 lb Tobacco and 4 barrells of Indian Coyne for her right to the same afsd as by the deed upon the records doth appear and for his pretensions to the Illegallity and Invalidity of the deed for want of timely acknowledgment or recording your Petr supposes he must ground that advantage either upon the 27th H 8 Cap 16 Intituled a Statute of Implements of Bargains and contracts of land and tenements or upon the 73d printed act of assembly Intituled against fraudulent conveyances but may it please your Worships one cannot the other must not be binding in this case as your Petr shall plainly make appeare for the English Statute the words are except the same bargaine and sale be made by writing indented and Inrolled in any of the Kings Courts at Westminster or else in the same Court where the land lyes and the same Inrollment to be had within Six months next after the date of the same writing Indented The Clerk of the peace shall sufficiently inroll in parchment so that by this act ineffectual if it be not inrolled in parchment or one day after the 6 months is Expired or recorded in the same County makes all fruitless though all the other branches of the act had been duly pursued as may be fully seen by the Statute itself and my Lord Cookes Learned Commentary thereupon in his 2d Institute fo 674 besides this Statute requires noe acknowledgment from the Vendor but that the Vendee take care to have it inrolled as the Law directs that is recorded pursuant to all the circumstances of the said Act if it should be of force here and Titles questioned thereby your Petr dares and does confidently affirme that there is hardly one good Title to land in Virginia Therefore this Statute must not take place as to our own act of assembly that noe person whatsoever shall passe over by conveyance or otherwaies any part of his Estate whether land whereby his Creditors might be defrauded of their Just debts unlesse such. conveyance or other deeds be acknowledged before the Governour and Council at the General Court or before the Justice of the County Courts and there registered in a booke made for that purpose within six months after such alienation and whoever shall make and alienate any part of his Estate otherwise than is here Expressed the same shall not be accounted valid in Law nor shall it barr any creditor by seizing the same by Law for satisfaction of the debt the property of the Estates not being Legally but in the first Vendour This seems positive at first view but upon consideration of the whole scope and drift of the act appears to be for prevention of frauds used by Debtors by clandestinely conveying away their Estates to defraud their creditors and therefore perhaps not-withstanding this act a deed made bone fide upon good consideration where the Vendor has sufficient besides to Satisfie all creditors though this act were not pursued in the Sale I humbly conceive the deed might be good enough that the said Smith at the time of making the afsd deed to Dowdinge had sufficient to answer all creditors and a plentiful Estate besides is well known to all the antient Inhabitants and if occasion were is Easily proved But may it please your Worships this deed of Dowdings as per the date thereof appears was made in the year 1659 and this act of assembly was made in the year 1662 soe that this act cannot have relation to a deed that was made three years before the making of the said Laws for that would be making Laws Expost facto, and this in a word your Petr conceives clears the deed from any defect by that Law farther may it please your Worships that the Stat of H 8 was strictly to be pursued and by consequence Dowdings deed void by that Law then by the same Law or same Reasons would Smiths deed from Dodson be utterly void as materially failing in all points by that Statute required as Dowdings or farther admitting that the said act of assembly made in 1682 for acknowledgment of deeds within six months as one reason why it shouts stop there and could not looke some months farther and Espy Smiths deed so far from being acknowledged in the General Court where the land lyes within the six months prescribed by the Law that it stayes two years one month before it is acknowledged at all and then acknowledged in a remote county where the land lay not by an attorney which is not all proved to case. Therefore I say if the other be faulty this is absolutely vitious and ineffectual and consequently the right would againe vest in Dodson the first proprietor who also is dead without heir and by that means my Lord Culpepper would be intituled to the whole tract and then your Petr. having his right as aforesd would be betterd in his Estate which your Petr neither covets nor desires as Esteeming those deeds good considering the time they were made in but however your Petr submits to your Worships Judgment assuring himself that upon the Laws aforesaid your Worships must either Judge both of the deeds good or bad for they are both of one Stampe, if good then your Petrs right to Dowdings part that he left undisposed is good as he has above declared if bad then your Petr has a greater right then he could think or hope for in his own poor weak Judgment and either way your Petr conceives the said Dade a Trespasser as afsd Wherefore your Petr prays that he may be by the Sheriff removed immediately and pay the damages aforesaid with costs of suit and further your Petr humbly moves that according to the 84 act of assembly in the Printed Booke Intituled the Defendt to put in his answer for the reasons therementioned to say that for the better regulating and keeping the records and transferring the presidents to posterity as also for the prosecution of new Suites upon mistakes of the grounds of others that as the plaintiff both in General and County Courts files his declaration so the deft in both courts shall alsoe put in his answer in writing & that the deft may be ordered to put his And the said Francis Dade by GERRARD LOWTHER his Attorney comes into Court and craves Licence of Imparlance till the next Court for to put in his answer to the Pits declaration which unto him is granted and that then his plea be not wanting. === 1654-1800 Westmoreland County, Virginia Wills [Augusta B.
