He signed his will Walter (M) Mathews, his M mark. To my son John Mathews my gun. To my 5 children, viz: John, Sarah, Esther, Mary & Elizabeth Mathews cow and calf. If my loving wife Sarah Mathews should marry before any of my children are 18, then my son to be at age at 18 and my daughters at 16 or day of marriage. Remaining estate to my wife, but if my wife should die before her arrival her in Virginia, then all my estate to be equally divided by my 5 children. My friends Andrew Smaw and his wife and William Jarvis to oversee my estate until my wife's return. Witt: Capt. John Robins, Capt. Hancock Lee.

It was on this date that his will was proved. The widow Sarah qualified as administratrix. (NOTE: Sarah Mathews and William Kendall Sr. entered into a marital agreement.)

Ralph Whitelaw and Lucy Ames Edwards both erroneously stated that William Kendall married Sarah, the widow of Henry Matthews. Henry Matthews' will of 19 Feb 1685, proved 26 Oct 1685 names no wife and children Ruth, Sarah, and Mary and Mary's sister Anne Winberrow dec'd. Walter Matthews will of 20 Aug 1681, proved 21 Oct 1683, names a wife Sarah Matthews and 5 children John, Sarah, Esther, Mary and Elizabeth. Since Lucy Ames Edwards states that the marriage agreement between Col. William Kendall and the widow Sarah Matthews was dated 6 Jun 1684, which was after Walter Matthews' will was proved and before Henry Matthews wrote his will, Sarah was obviously the widow of Walter Matthews.

In his 1658 will Fran Pott named dear friend and my entirely loved wife: Having taken a sudden resolution to go over the Bay about some urgent occasions and having travelled near 38 years to my long home, and knowing nothing to the contrary but that I may arrive there before my return to you again, and at this time I have not so much leisure as to make so formal a will and testament as I could desire. Therefore dear friend you must rest content with this, viz. (NOTE: Based on this statement he evidently first came to the Jamestown area circa 1620, about the same time as his brother Dr. John Pott.)

Francis Pott, the brother of Dr. John Pott, came to Virginia sometime prior to March 1629 when Dr. Pott, who was then deputy-governor, appointed him captain of the fort at Old Point Comfort. He held that position until February 1633. In 1629 he received a bequest from Thomas Warnett, a Jamestown merchant. According to Secretary Richard Kemp, Francis Pott constantly tried to undermine Governor John Harvey and his policies. As a result, Harvey stripped him of his command in early 1635 and appointed a replacement, Captain Francis Hook. No doubt Francis Pott's loss of his lucrative position at Old Point Comfort fueled hostility toward Harvey. In April 1635 Francis Pott was instrumental in ousting Governor Harvey from office, and he was among those who accompanied him to England. Harvey quickly turned the tables, however, for he had Pott arrested and thrown into prison. Francis Pott petitioned the Privy Council for the right to post a bond so that he could get out of jail, and he claimed that Sir John Harvey owed him money. Although Pott was tried for attempting to depose the governor, he apologized and was released. By that time he had been detained in Fleet Prison for two years. When Dr. John Pott died (sometime after May 1635), his 12-acre lot in urban Jamestown and 500 acres in the Great Barren Neck near Middle Plantation descended to his brother, Francis, who seems to have retained the Jamestown property until at least August 1640. During the latter part of his life, Francis Pott moved to the Eastern Shore, where in 1647 he was living with his wife Susanna. He patented 2,000 acres in Northampton County in February 1653, and another 1,000 acres in 1657.

Georg Minifie, Esqr., was granted 80 poles. "It was enacted at ta grand Assembly holden the 20th Feb 1636, that all undertakers to build upon James Island should be encouraged by a grant of a convenient proportion of ground for housing & a garden plot," etc. Between land of Sir Francis Wyatt & Capt. Francis Pott. Free Rent: 1 Capon on the Feast of St. Thomas the Apostle yearly. "Provided that if the said Minifie his heirs or assigns shall not build upon the said parcel of land within the time or term of 6 months after the date of these presents that then if shall be lawfull for any other to make choice of the same land build upon the same."

These are to authorize John Pott or whom he shall lawfully depute to drive away and possess forever with the increase these cattle undernamed now being upon the plantation which Mr. John Neale lives on which cattle belonged to Mr. Thomas Deacon and Company (Viz.) One black cow with a hole in her ear, ready to calve, one black heifer which hath not as yet calved, with one cow calf about four months old, which three above female cattle I am to receive the like for at Harropp near Martins Hundred, from Capt. Francis Pott or his assignes. Signed 7 July 1641 by William Whitby. Witt: Cornelius Loyde. Recorded 18 March 1644/45.

Hall & the rent to be paid by him. 50 acres granted to Capt. France Pott, by order of 13 Jun 1642 & by him assigned to William Davis.

William Davies was granted 1200 acres lying near he head of Archers Hope Cr., near the horse path, W. & down a swamp parallel to Tuttyes neck, unto marked trees dividing this from the land of Mr. Richard Brewster, unto a branch near the head of Ware Cr.
