Married: 2 February 1699 in Parish of St. Peter's and St. Paul, New Kent, Virginia. Note: Signed Certificate of marriage February 2, 1700 (Quaker Gen Vol III page 198 of New Kent Co, Virginia

on New Kent Co, Virginia tax list for 1704

From Joan MELTON Bartay Owned land North of Charles City in a part of New Kent Co., which became Hanover Co. before 1700. He was a Quaker. In 1702 he was associated with the Church of England. After a survey of land returned on 3-14-1708/9 of 39 precincts, precinet #30 was formed from the following properties lying adjacent to each other: MELTON, Richard Renolds Jr., Tho. Farris, John Case, Hugh Murrah, John Land #1 of Richard MELTON From 1711-1719 the precinct was formed from these properties: Clarke, Francis Lovell, Geo (from 1711 to 1716) Lovell, Widd. (added 11-1716) Field, Alice Renolds, Tho Renolds, Wm. Priddy, Nich. Aldridge, John Willis, Fran Leak, Walter (added 11-1716) Land #2 of Richard MELTON: Looks like this piece was acquired by William and John MELTON, and after 1755 by John's Orphans and William's Orphans. William's orphans were listed with this piece until 1767 when it looks like Joel MELTON takes the place of Wm" Orphans. In 1771 Joel's property is divided from the orphans of John either by being absorbed into the new precinct, or by Joel purchasing new land and selling the other piece. More likely, it was just divided into a new precinct. From 9-1715 to 1719 this land was listed in Richard MELTON's name along with John White, Edw. Clard, Cha. Fleming, Tho Massey, Wm. Macon and Tho. Bailey. Richard MELTON is not listed after 1719. This is a work in process to include all information on the Meltons that is becoming available. Anyone with additions and corrections please contact me. I've started entering all the different spelllings as MELTON so that I can find the links easier.[melton1.ged]
