All freemen had the right of suffrage till 1671. In 1634, the plantations in Virginia were divided into eight counties, and "Warrascoyack" was one of these. In 1635 the census showed five hundred and twenty-two persons in the county. In 1658 the tithables amounted to six hundred and seventy-three, which indicated a population of two thousand and nineteen. In 1637 the name of the county was changed to Isle of Wight. The same year the county of New Norfolk was formed out of Elizabeth City county, which extended on both sides of the river. New Norfolk being divided soon into Lower and Upper Norfolk (Nansemond) counties, acts were passed in 1639-'40 and 1642-'43 to determine their respective boundaries. Isle of Wight county was declared to begin at Lawne's Creek, from thence down the river to the plantation of Richard Hayes, formerly belonging to John Howard, including the said plantation, from thence to extend into the woods southerly to the plantation of William Norvell and Robert Pitt, including the said plantations and families. In 1656, the inhabitants of Terrascoe Neck and the "Ragged Islands," formerly in Nansemond, were added to Isle of Wight. Finally, in 1674, "to settle the long disputes which had arisen between the inhabitants of Isle of Wight and of Nansemond," because of the uncertainty attending the true courses of the dividing creeks and branches, the General Assembly enacted that "a southwest by south line be run from the river side at Hayes' plantation (including that plantation in Isle of Wight) to the creek at or near the plantation called Norvell's Oyster Bank, thence up the creek to Col. Pitt's Creek, thence southwest half a point westerly indefinitely extended, provided, nevertheless, that the house and cleared grounds of Capt. Thomas Godwin, who hath been an ancient inhabitant of Nansemond county, be deemed in the county of Nansemond, anything in this act to the contrary notwithstanding." Till March, 1642-'43, the county had but one parish. Rev. Thomas Faulkner was the minister. In that year, it was divided into two, known as the Upper and Lower Parishes, the former extending from Lawne's Creek to the creek on the eastern side of the bay (Pagan's), dividing the plantations of Samuel Davis and Joseph Cobbs, and the latter from Pagan's Point, upon the bay, including all the southerly side of the main river. In 1680, Mr. Robert Parke was minister in the Upper parish, and Mr. William Hodsden minister in the Lower. In 1700-1719, Rev. Andrew Monroe was minister of the Upper parish. In 1724, Rev. Alexander Forbes, who came to Virginia in 1710, was minister of the Upper parish. He described it as extending on the river twenty-one miles, and reaching back sixty miles to the North Carolina line. The number of assessed persons was then seven hundred. The value of his living was L80 currency, or L65 sterling, paid with sixteen thousand pounds of tobacco, "which in this parish very often doth not produce half that sum." There were then private schools in the parish -- no public. In the same year Thomas Baylie was minister of the Lower parish. He was formerly minister of St. John's church, Baltimore county, Md., and came to Virginia in 1719. His conduct was drunkenly and disorderly; quite a contrast to his colleague -- Alexander Forbes. He described his parish as eight miles on the river side and twenty (?) in breadth. It had four hundred families. He officiated at the mother church, and at the chapel, nineteen miles from the former, as well as at Chuckatuck, in Nansemond county. His church was decently provided with furniture, but it had no font, and he had no surplice. His salary was from L50 to L70, according to the rise or fall of tobacco, in which he was paid. There were in this parish four small public schools, taught by a Mr. Hurst, Mr. Irons, Mr. Gills and Mr. Reynolds. In 1725-'26, Rev. Mr. Barlow was minister of the Upper parish, then in 1729 Rev. John Gammill was minister. In 1734, the Legislature erected into a separate parish all the country south of the Black Water river, and called it Nottoway parish, and this parish was made into Southampton county in 1748. Such parts of the parishes of "Warwick Squeak" (Upper parish) and Newport as were north of the Black Water were formed into one, and named "Newport parish." In 1736, William Bidgood was clerk of the Upper church, and Joseph Weston clerk of the "Brick church," which seems to show that the present St. Luke's, near Smithfield, was originally in the Lower parish. Rev. John Camm (afterwards President of William and Mary College) succeeded Rev. John Gammill in 1745, and then followed Rev. John Reid from March 8, 1746, to April, 1757 =============== http://www.familyorigins.com/users/m/c/m/Arthur-L-Mcmahon-AZ/FAMO1-0001/d74.htm Jeremiah ,III ELLIS signed a will on 13 Nov 1756 in Lunenburg, Va.
