The Pamunkey Hendrick Chronicles 1690-1800; Robert W. Baird
rwbaird@aol.com
"Richard Yarbrough, an Indian interpreter and trader, was dead before 1699. He had obtained his lease from the Pamunkey Indian tribe sometime after the peace treaty of 1677, when the first leases were made. He more than likely obtained this lease by 1679, when he was sent to New York by the House of Burgesses to discourage Indian raids from the north. Yarborough may well have promoted his lands on this visit. All of his sales of land thus occurred after 1677 and all deeds and other conveyances have long been lost in various courthouse fires in the successive jurisdictions of New Kent and King & Queen counties. John Ascough was also an Indian interpreter and trader, but this is the only tract in Pamunkey Neck that Ascough was associated with, for he worked almost exclusively with the Indians of the Rappahannock River, north
of Pamunkey Neck. That strongly suggests the possibility that Yarborough had sold land to Ascough, and that both subsequently sold to Hendrick."
