The wart was in the Sole name of John Patterson, without the least mention of his Lord or me who am the present Possessour. As it is Marsh & Land overflowed at high Tides,.· I ought to have had Notice; But this would not have Servd Pattersons turn, whose Intention was to obtain a Deed by Surprize: I intended to have Enterd the Land & Marsh as Soon as I was informd it was not Included within my Lines & applyd to John West, junr to have Enterd for me, who I find has neglected it. I must Own that I was exceedingly Surprizd (when I Saw the wart) at Pattersons Infidelity to his Employer. The tract adjoining this land contains 400 a. on which the Plantation is Settled & is so circumstanced it would not Subsist being cut off from the Creek so that if Patterson had got the Deed, he needed not have Valued his Lord, for whoever has the Marshes can force the Owner to buy or Sell on his own Terms. I wrote you before you went to WffiSburg by Doctr Green & now repeat lest it may have Slipt Your memory. I request Deed be made out in my Name to hold during my Life, with a remainder to Charles Earle of Tankerville, which is agreeable to my Bros will. P.S. 21 ffeb. 176 5 - Since I wrote the within, the weather Set in So Cold that I could hear of no Body til now going your way. You will please to take Notice, a Deed to Ld Tankerville alone will not Suit me, for his Agent may pretend a Deed may be ? to my present Right, & so maliciously set some Rascal Upon it to give-me Disturbance ..• 25 ffeb. 1765 - I understand it is not usual to make Deeds in names. of two Persons ••. ! did not consider that the Lady Dowager (Ld Tankerville's Mother) and her Sister Allan of Holland, being the nearest Relatives I have, as Daughters to my Uncle, are consequently my next heirs at Law. Deed should issue in my name & fall to his Lordship at my Decease as heir to his Mother. I must have it made Sure, as not caring to Subject myself to the Will of the great Man or his Agent, but be absolutely out of their Power... (Signed) Tho. Colvill. | Colville, Thomas (I75310)

Charles Urquhart Williams attended private schools in Richmond and Culpeper county, after which his education was finished by attendance for one year at the school conducted by David Turner. He read law at the University of Virginia, but he was interrupted by the outbreak of the civil war, when he at once enlisted in the Confederate army, and served as a private in the Richmond Howitzers, and later became lieutenant and drill master. When the army departed from Richmond, Mr. Williams went with Brig.-Gen. D. R. Jones, as volunteer aide-de-camp, and subsequently became assistant adjutant and inspector-general. When Gen. Jones died in July, 1863, Lieut. Williams was assigned to the staff of Gen. M. D. Corse until the close of the war, first as aide-de-camp, then as assistant-adjutant and inspector-general. He was admitted to the Richmond bar in October, 1865, and practiced his profession steadily after that time. He was a Democratic member of the Virginia legislature, 1875-77; and served in both branches of the Richmond city council. He was president of the Westmoreland Club and of the Sons of the American Revolution; commander of R. E. Lee Camp, No. 1. Confederate Veterans, and a member of the Society of Foreign wars and of the Delta Psi fraternity. Mr. Williams married, August 27, 1867, Alice Davenport.

The larger tract of 1000 acres was fronted on its southern point by Pohick Bay. The smaller 150 acre tract adjoined the larger at the northeast corner. He secured a grant of 600 acres on 17 November 1696 and another on 24 March 1697. This latter tract, comprising 640 acres, was situated some distance from his other holdings, but was undoubtedly prime land being located on the shore of the Potomac River in northeast Stafford County (Northern Neck Patents, II, Page 58, 60, and Northern Neck Grants, II, Page 260, 267). Major Thomas Owsley died 10 October 1700 in Stafford County, Virginia and was buried there on his plantation, now located on the Fort Belvoir Military Reservation, in Fairfax County. The exact date of his death is known from a survey map of 1748 in the case of French Mason vs. Daniel McCarty, 25 March 1748, on which is noted his grave and the comment "Owsly buryd there, as by a tomb stone, he dyed October ye 10th 1700." The survey was redrawn and published in Mitchell's Beginning at a White Oak (op. cit.), Page 64. === James Hughes 2005-12-21 13:42:18 Brenda H.

It reveals that on 24 March 1697/8 William Harris composed his will leaving all of his land in Stafford County to his granddaughters, Jane and Anne Owsley, to be equally divided between them. If they had no heirs, the land should go to Mary Owsley, and if she had no heirs, it should go to the testator's grandson Thomas Owsley. The deed of partition goes on to relat that Jane married James Gregg and Anne married Isaac Kent and that their heirs in 1741 were Matthew Gregg of Stafford County and Isaac Kent of Prince William County (Prince William Co.
