John Justice, of Charles City & Augusta

John Justice

• Birth: 1696 - Charles City, Charles, VA
• Death: after May 17, 1754 of Augusta, VA
• Parents: John Justice, Mary Wade

Sold his father's Charles City County lands and moved to Augusta County, VA, (c. 1749), where he built a water grist mill for a William Wilson; deeded on August 25, 1751. Bought 224 acres on Newfoundland Creek on May 20, 1752. Sold lands to Michael Harper, May 17, 1754 (Chalkley's v.3, page. 326)

[Newfoundland Creek is an obsolete name for the Bullpasture River, which flows through Highland County, VA - which is high up in the Alleghenies and a long way from Charles City County OR Halifax/Pittsylvania County.]

It is unknown whether John Justice of Charles City and Augusta County, VA ever married anyone or had any children at all. There are NO records of him whatsoever after 1754 - and shortly afterwards the Native Americans started another (futile) effort to push the invaders out of their territory. Perhaps they eliminated him, perhaps not.
