The Watts On-line Issue No. 53 October 17,1998

Sir Wm. Berkeley, etc... to Jno. Foxhall 314 acres of land in Westmoreland County in the body of the main forest betwixt the headbranches of Potomack and Rappa beginning at the line of Lt. Col. Jno. Washingtons land extending E 26 poles to a red oak a corner tree of Jno. Pipers from thence S. 320 poles to Spanish oak another corner tree of the said Pipers and thence E 200 poles to a red oak standing in the line of the land of MR. JOHN WATTS then S ? poles along the said MR. JOHN WATTS his line thence E 200 poles along the said Mr. Watts line thence S 50 poles thence W 426 poles to a red oak standing near Ned the Indians path thence N 550 poles to the place begun...23 day of October 1669.

Consequently, in the fall of 1669 John Willis, John Washington, John Piper, John Foxhall, Phillip Browne, Nathaniel Pope, Robert Nurse, and JOHN WATTS owned tracts between the Potomac and Rappahannock rivers near Ned the Indian's path (possibly the same as Wariscreek or Warisquock path) and Powetridge (which was found with a variety of spellings ...I suspect that it may have been named because it was a convenient route for portaging between the Rappahannock and Potomac Rivers....

WATTS's tract at the head of Mattox Creek was orignally patented by Nathaniel Pope Sr. who willed it to his son Nathaniel (father of Nathaniel Pope alias Bridges) who sold it to Watts in 1665. WATTS then sold half of it to Thomas Wilford who died in 1666, Metes and bounds given in the patents indicate that the western boundary of WATTS' tract joined John Piper and that the southern boundary of WATTS' tract joined John Foxhall. WATTS and Willis lived within two or three miles of each other, but WATTS' land lay on the dividing ridge and was mostly in Westmoreland County where records for this tract are found.

Note:
From your notes for William Marshall II it sates that the Will of William Marshall was proven by the oath of Sarah Dixon(late Sarah Turner).

I don't know if you have seen this tree that shows Sarah Turner married to Edward Dixon. (ok up to this point but after this I just don't know) It goes on to show that Sarah Turner's father was Thomas Turner that had a sister Anne Turner that married William Marshall that was also married to Elizabeth Williams. They seem to believe that William II KGC was the same William that married Elizabeth Williams.
