      Will of Richard Loes----Written April 22, 1675----Proved July 7, 1675.
      Sick in body but of sound and perfect memory.
      To my son-in-law James Tacket all the Estate I have in Maryland both tobacco good debts and otherwise and whereas I did ship home for lime (Lyme) 50 bhds of tobacco out of Maryland and consigned them unto Walter Tucker merchant in Lime (Lyme). I also give and bequeath unto my son-in-law James Tacket the 1/2 part of all the stock of cattle horses and mares that I am now possessed with and two Christian servants for the full time they have to serve at their coming into this country to be delivered him the next shipping, one fowling gun one pot two pewter dishes and two basons and all the pewter which was his mother's deceased. I also ordaine that my said son James Tacket and servants have ground to work on and house room to cure their crops and for their accomodation on the plantation whereon I now live for and during the space or time of four yeares next ensuing after my death and to have free privilege to grind his corne at my mill toll free during his life or the time of his abode in this river.
      I give and bequeath unto my son-in-law Mr. Henry Williamson all my lands lying in Nimcock in Rappahannock River which I formerly purchased of Richard Bennett and Henry Corbin Esqr. unto him the said Williamson and his heirs forever. I give and bequeath unto my said son-in-law Mr. Henry Williamson all the rest of my personall estate both Negroes, Indians, Mullatoes, horses, mares cattle moneys and all other estate of what nature or kind soever herein this country or elsewhere unto him the said Williamson and his heirs forever.
      And I do hereby ordain and appoint my said son-in-law Mr. Henry Williamson my sole and absolute Executor of this my last Will and Testament willing to pay all my debts and legacies above mentioned.
      Wit: Mary x Hodges, Richard Grimsted, age 28 or thereabouts.
      Edward Thomas aged 32 years or thereabouts.

      "Virginia Historical Magazine"
      Tithables of Lancaster County Virginia
      Richard Loes was J.P. for Lancaster 1652-56 and on Dec. 11, 1656 was appointed a justice and captain of militia in the new county of Rappahannock.

      Notes: In his will dated April 2nd and proved in Rappahannock July 7, 1675 Richard Loes makes bequests to his son-in law (step-son?) James Tacket of all his Estate in Maryland and 50 hogsheads of tobacco the testaor had recently shipped out to Maryland to Walter Tucker, merchant, also gives him half his stocks of horses, cattle, etc., two slaves, a gun, etc. and all the pewter that was his deceased mother's.
      To son-in-law Mr. Henry Williamson all of his lands on Rappahannock and the rest of her personal estate.

      Based upon the bequest in the Will which stated "all the pewter which was his mother's deceased", James Tacket does seem to be the son of the wife of Richard Loes by a previous marriage to ____ Tacket. No such mention is made in regard to Henry Williamson who is left all the Virginia land and all the rest of his personal estate. Thus Henry Williamson does seem to have been a son-in-law and not a step-son of Richard Loes.

      The 1653 record says that Toby Smith and Richard Loes gave a heifer to Henry Williamson, son in-law of Richard Loes. In 1653 Henry Williamson was 17 years of age. The relationship to Toby Smith is unknown. Henry Williamson was married to Catherine Weekes by 1679.
