Mary Whitley

notes

Chapman's Isle of Wight Marriages records the marriage of John Whitley and (unknown) Madden, sister of Henry Madden in 1687. This appears to be Mary Madden, the relict of James Mackdowell who died in 1686, and so it is unclear why she was not styled Mrs. Mary Mackdowell, relict of James Mackdowell, rather than as Mary Madden. That being said, there is no doubt that Mary, relict of James Mackdowell, married John Whitley because of the following Isle of Wight County Record: "...Account of the estate of John Whitley, returned by his widow Mary Whitley Administrator. Among items tobacco which was given my daughter Olive Mackdowell by her father James Mackdowell. 1695"

WILL-EXECUTRIX: Isle of Wight, Virginia Will Book 1 pages 27-28, husband JAMES MACDOWELL dated January 27, 1686.

ESTATE-ADMINISTRATRIX: Isle of Wight, Virginia Will Book 1 page 5, husband JOHN WHITLEY JR dated in 1695.

(We find John Whitley, Mary Whitley, and Mary Whitley's first spouse and daughter Olive Mackdowell.)

Volume I, Deed book one page 178:
Whitley, John: Account of his estate returned by his widow Mary Whitley Adm. Among items tobacco which was given my daughter Olive Mackdowell by her father James Mackdowell. 1695.[Skinner and Whitley family tree.FTW]

"Received of Mary Whitley, widow of John Whitley, tobacco for the use of Thomas, John, and William Whitley, orphans of said John. Whitley. November 26, 1695. Mary was declared a widow in court documents in November, but John Whitley, Jr. probably died before November, perhaps as early as May, or even March.
