• Notes

  not proved as a son === Lower Norfolk County Records, Wills and Deeds C, 15th December 1651 - Beverly Fleet. p.65. A Court held 15 December 1653. Present: Leift Coll Cornelius Loyd, Mr Wm Moseley, Major Tho. Lambert, Mr Francis Emperor, Leift: Coll: John Sidney, Mr Tho: Bridge, Mr Lemuel Mason, Mr Tho: Goodrich, Com'rs. p.67. On petition of Nicholas Mason, who married the relict of Robert Fowler, showing that Oct last it was ordered that Mr Emperor and four others lay out a certain tract of land in dif betw Henery Snayle and the widow and extrx of Fowler, which was done. Snayle is now ordered to make a firm bill of sale to Nicholas Mason for the use of Robert Fowler, son of the said Robt Fowler, deceased. [Note: There is a certain literary convention of the cruelty of step parents to the children of former marriages. I see no sign of this whatsoever in these old Virginia records. Again and again I've come upon suits instituted by step-parents, and wills left by them, in which the children were always being protected and cared for by them. While of course there were such cases, I never happen to have seen any record of any thing that would indicate that the children were treated in any way but with regard and affection. B.
