Petty (son of our James Petty) was the same Joshua Petty who married
Aggatha Bullock Nuckolls. Note the property location on Abington Creek.
This was property that James Petty Jr. owned. This property was located
next to Joshua's land, and more important, the **land** of **John
Jeffries**. John Jeffries was the son of Nathaniel Jeffries and Rebecca
Curry. Rebecca Curry, was the daughter of Nicholas Curry, one of the
executors of the elder James Petty estate. (John Petty)*
Thomas Petty was born in Lancaster County, Virginia, but following his marriage to Catherine Garton, he settled in the neighboring county of Richmond, where her family lived. On November 6, 1689, the date of Walter Welch's probate, his ward, Thomas Petty, in Northumberland County court (where Welch's probate occurred), bound himself out as an apprentice to serve John Davis for five years. John Davis was to teach him the trade of a Carpenter. Fifteen months later, on March 18, 1690/91, Thomas Petty complained to the court that John Davis had not endeavored to teach him the trade of a Carpenter. The court released him from his indetureship.
This is one of the best evidences of Thomas Petty's age. Apprentice ships were established in Virginia law when the person in question was without parent, and was under the legal age of 21. The term of the apprenticeship was until the child was 21. In this case in 1689, the term was for five years, meaning that Thomas Petty would turn 21 by November 1694. He, Thomas Petty was therefore born in 1673. The other thing we learn is that he was an orphan by Nov. 6, 1689. Either Faith Petty had died, or was not his mother and had remarried, or she was not his mother, was still living at the family estate, but because guardian Walter Welch had died, Thomas had to apprentice himself out. ( Walter Welch had died, and Thomas actually apprinticed himself out.) Which ever way, it seems fairly certain Faith was not his mother.
In the 1700/01 time period, Thomas and his wife Catherine sold the land in Lancaster County, Virginia, which Thomas had inherited from his father, Hubert Petty, being 65 acres on Morraticoe Creek. Then, on October 06, 1703, Thomas bought 150 acres of land from Thomas Barker, on Bare Branch of Rappahannock Creek in Richmond County, Virginia. Here, Thomas and his family remained for the next 31 years.In 1734, his father, Thomas Petty, Sr. and an older brother, John Petty, sold their property in Richmond County, Virginia, and moved to Spotsylvania County where they purchased lifetime leases from Alexander Spotswood, Esq. A few months later Spotsylvania County divided and they found themselves a part of newly formed Orange County. In 1741, William Petty purchased a lease in Orange County from Alexander Spotswood in which he named his sons, Theophilus and William Petty. William Petty appeared in several court records in Orange County until 1748. William left Orange County in May of 1748. William next appeared in Brunswick County, Virginia in 1750 where he and his wife Elizabeth sold property to John Marshall of Charles City County, Virginia. No record has been found of when they obtained this property, but the possibility exists that the property came by inheritance. On September 27, 1750, William and Elizabeth sell their land in Brunswick County and move to Lunenburgh County, Virginia.
On January 31, 1749, Thomas Petty drafted and signed his last Will and Testament. His wife, Catherine, was already dead, and most of his children had already received their shares in the estate. Thomas gave each of his married children, namely; John, Thomas, Christopher, William, James, Rebecca Sims, and Mary Knight, each one shilling. To his other two children, George and Martha, he gave the remainder of his estate, to be divided between them. He also chose them to be the executors of his last Will and Testament. Note: The below information on Thomas Petty is offered as proof that he was the son of Hubert Petty. (From the research files of; James Winter Petty, a certified American Lineage Specialist, and Barbara McGee, editor, of "The Petty Papers"). Several manuscripts and books have appeared relating to the history of Thomas Petty and his family. But in each case, several major errors have been adapted and passed on pertaining to the parentage and children of Thomas. There is an axiom among genealogists concerning untrained researchers that states: "A statement said once must be proven, but a statement (even a false one) said many times by many people can be accepted as fact." Such a situation exists with the ancestry of Thomas Petty. The tradition has developed among researchers of the Petty family over the years that Thomas Petty was the son of Thomas Pettit/Petty and Rachel Wilson of Essex County, Virginia, and the grandson of Col. Thomas Petty and Catherine Morris of Rappahannock Co., Virginia. This line is further traced back to Thomas Pettus, who resided in Norwich, England in 1492. Thomas Pettit, the supposed father of the subject of this article, died in 1720, and named a son Thomas in his will. This has been the sole source of proof tying the lines together. Unfortunately, this pedigree is false and has led many researchers astray. Thomas Petty was the son of Hubert Patey/Petty and probably his wife Rebecca. Hubert Patey first appeared in the deed of Lancaster Co., Virginia, in 1665, when he purchased 150 acres of land on Marraticoe Creek from Abraham Bush. His wife Rebecca first appears when she co-signed a deed with Hubert selling one half of their property in 1667. The only time Hubert appears with the name Petty is in an application for a colonial land grant in 1672. In the spring of 1687, Hubert Patey prepared and signed his last will and testament, and chose his friend Walter Welch to be his executor of the estate. Hubert names his wife Faith Patey and gave their home and much of the personal estate to her. He also named his only child, Thomas Patey, and gave him all of the land, which he was to receive when he came of age. Hubert also assigned Walter Welch to be the guardian for Thomas until he was of legal age. (Lancaster Co., WB Vol. 5, p. 113) Thomas had probably been of legal age for several years by the time he first appeared in the records of Tidewater, VA. On November 2, 1699, in the common pleas court of Richmond Co., Thomas Patty sued Dennis and Jane Cameron, "the executors of Walter Welch, the executor of Hubert Patty", for the portion of his inheritance which he had not received. On April 3, 1700, Thomas and "Kat" Patty appeared in court and won the case against Dennis and Jane Cameron. He received "four cowes and their increase since he became of age." (Richmond Co., OB 3, p. 24) Thomas married Katherine Garton, daughter of John and Martha Garton of Richmond Co. They were probably married in 1699 or in the first part of 1700. (We have 6 Mar 1701) Katherine was the only one of four living Garton children that was of legal age at that time, so she could not have married earlier than that. On March 6, 1700/01, Thomas and Katherine Petty appeared in court with her mother, Martha Garton, as plaintiffs in a suit against Robert and Anna Post, concerning the estate of John Garton. On May 7, 1702, the records for Richmond Co. show that Thomas and Katherine Patty, and Martha Garton, won their suit. Robert Post was ordered to pay 3000 lbs. in tobacco. (Richmond Co., OB 3. pp. 85, 168) Later that year, on October 13, Thomas Petty and his wife Katherine sold the land in Lancaster Co. which Thomas had received from the will of his father Hubert Patey, being 65 acres on Morraticoe Creek, bordering the property of Abraham Bush. (Lancaster Co., DB 7, P. 36) On October 6, 1703, Thomas Patty bought 150 acres of land from Thomas Barker, on Bare Branch of Rappahanock Creek in Richmond Co., VA. Here Thomas and his family remained for the next 31 years. (Richmond Co., DB 3, p. 118) Except for an appearance in court as a witness for Richard Washburn in 1704, Thomas does not appear on the records of Richmond Co. for the next 12 years. On Feb. 1, 1715/16, he leased 30 acres bordering his land from Henry Hewes. On April 6, 1721, Thomas and Katherine Patty and Ruth Garton Boyd applied for letters of administration on the estate of their brother John Garton. Three months later, David Boyd issued a legal complaint against his brother-in-law, Thomas Patty. The complaint was dropped on August 2, 1721. (Richmond Co., OB 9, p. 14) On April 5, 1722, Thomas and Katherine Patty and Ruth Boyd sued Hannah Port for the portion of the estate of John Garton Sr., which they did not receive 20 years earlier. (Richmond Co., OB 9, p. 48) On January 2, 1727/28, Thomas Patty sold 50 acres of his property on Bare Branch of Rappahannock Creek to his son John Patty. (Richmond Co., DB 8, p. 429) On October 2, 1728, Ruth Boyd and Thomas Patty gave bond for the administration of the estate of David Boyd, dec'd. Two and a half years later, on March 2, 1731/32, Thomas asked to be released from his role as administrator of David Boyd's estate. He was replaced by his son-in-law Thomas Sims. Six months later, on November 4, 1732, Thomas and Katherine Patty and John and Rebecca Patty sold all of their properties on Bare Branch of Rappahannock Creek to William Jordan. (Richmond Co., DB 8, pp. 622-624) The last record of Thomas Patty in Richmond Co. occurs on Aug 5, 1734 when Thomas (stating that he was a resident of Richmond Co.) appeared in court to make a claim for taking up a runaway slave named William Waller. The servant left the home of George Henage in Stafford Co., VA. (Richmond Co., OB 10 p. 198) Two months later, on October 23, 1734, Thomas and Katherine Patty, John and Rebecca Patty, and Thomas and Rebecca Sims all leased property in the western portion of Spotsylvania Co., VA, from Alexander Spotswood. The property of Thomas Patty and Thomas Sims was in St. Mark's parish on the south side of the Rapidan River, and the property of John Patty was on the north side of the river. The terms of the agreements were for the lifetime of the spouse or the eldest child in the home, whichever lived the longest. The eldest child living in Thomas Patty's family was his son Christopher. On Jan. 1, 1734/35, the western part of the Sportsylvania Co. was divided off and became Orange Co., VA. On March 4, 1734/35, Thomas Patty's daughter, Mary, was called to court in Sporsylvania Co. to be charged with having a "Bastart" child. The subpoena was not answered by Thomas Patty because he was no longer a resident of that coati. (OB 2, p. 372) On June 2, 1735, Thomas Patty, Jr., leased 150 acres of land from Alexander Spotswood, on the south side of Rapidan River, in Orange Co. (Orange Co., DB 1, p. 118) On March 17, 1735/36, Thomas Patty was taken to court in Orange Co., and sued for debt by William Jordan in the sum of 570 lbs of tobacco. Jordan won the case and the court ordered Thomas to pay the sum and work on the road. One week later, Thomas petitioned the court to be released from working on the road for reasons of old age. He claimed to be 75 years old. The court accepted his petition and released him from his responsibility. Thomas apparently lied to the court to get out of work. If he was 75 years old in 1736, he would have been born in 1660 or 1661, That would have made him 27 when his father died and assigned a guardian to care for him in 1687. (Orange Co., OB 1, p. 146) On April 27, 1738, Thomas Patty brought suit against the estate of Alvin Mothershead of Richmond Co., for payment of a debt. Thomas was awarded 195 lbs. of tobacco and 1 hog. (Orange Co., OB 1, p. 295) Thomas and his daughter, Martha Patty, and Thomas Sims, appeared in court on July 28, 1741, as witnesses for John Hunny. Hunny sued Patrick Leonard for trying to renege on an agreement to release Hunny from his indentured servitude. (Orange Co., OB 2, p. 346) On Jan 26, 1744/45, Thomas Patty petitioned the court to be released from paying levies on account of his being infirm and aged. The petition was granted. (Orange Co., OB 4, p. 267) On Sept 27, 1746, Thomas's daughter, Mary, and her husband, Thomas Knight, "left the county secretly" to avoid paying a debt. (Orange Co., OB4a, p. 88) On July 25, 1747, a suit was brought against Thomas Patty by George Buchannon and William Hamilton, executors of the estate of Neil Buchannon. On that same day, the court reported that William Patty, the son of Thomas Petty, and his family had also "left the county secretly" to avoid payment of debt. (Orange Co., OB 5, p. 131) On Jan. 31, 1748/49, Thomas Patty drafted and signed his last will and testament. His wife Katherine was already dead, and most of his children had already received their shares in the estate. Thomas gave each of his married children, namely, John, Thomas, Christopher, William, James, Rebecca Sims, and Mary Knight, one shilling. To his other 2 children, George Patty and Martha Patty, he gave the remainder of his estate to be divided between them. He also chose them to be executors of his last will and testament.

We don't know when Rebecca died and when Faith became Hubert's wife. But Thomas Petty named his first daughter Rebecca and never named a daughter Faith. Nor did any of Thomas' children name a daughter Faith, nor did any of his grandchildren use that name. But Rebecca is a name handed down in the family.

------------------------------------------------Hubert arrived in Maryland in 1650 with William Turner. He was apparently single at that time. He went to Virginia after his indentureship ended after 1654, and worked as an overseer in Norfolk County. Then he appears in Lancaster County, in 1666 when he and Rebecca were buying land from Abraham Bush. What happened to Faith (2nd wife)? Hubert's will gave her the plantation, but then it was to go to Thomas when he came of age. Did she remarry? She doesn't appear to have gone with Thomas when he moved to Richmond County.
Will of Walter Welch, Proved in Rappahannock Co., 6 Nov 1689 (Rappahannock Wills p. 143-4). Names heirs as wife Jane Welch, and sons Richard Welch and Thomas Welch (both under age 18).
Virginia Co. Court Orders, Order Book Abstracts of Lancaster Co. Va. 1666-1669 p81.
It is evident from this source that Martha, wife of Abraham Bush, was the daughter of John Wingate, and apparently his only living heir. I am further intrigued by Richard Welch as a relative to Rebecca Petty. According to his will, Hubert Petty gave his carpenter tools for the purpose of making "Trayes". I wonder what was meant by "trayes"? Hubert and the Welches lived on Moratico Bay, which was then and is today, a fishing harbor. A tray may have been a wooden box to catch shell fish in. Whatever it was, the will suggests that Walter Welch was to continue the business. Its just a speculation, but If Walter Welch were the father of Rebecca, Hubert may have joined his father in law's business. It would be natural then to turn son Thomas over to Walter Welch to be raised in his care, which Hubert's will specifies. And then as John mentioned in his note, Richard Welch was to get the estate if son Thomas Petty died unmarried. This is most interesting because there is nothing here to indicate that Faith was going to have a continuing connection to the property. Instead, if Hubert's heirs die off then the business and property stays in the hands of Hubert's apparent business partner. Faith is only considered until the time when Thomas reaches the age of 21. It is interesting to note that Hubert confirms there is only one child at question here, named or unnamed. He left only enough property to Faith for the support of "two" people.
