CJ (#23) Court Days 1684

The role of "High Sheriffe" of (Old) Rappahannock County would have been a busy one.  The business of the court continued and on the 7th of November 1684 it is recorded:

"Collonl. Cadwalladr:Jones (JO-1) confessed Judgment for and on behalf of John Vickars (VIC-1) to William Blaire (BL-1) for Five hundred pounds of toba. and caske due by Bill to be paid with costs of suite als Exec."

"Collonl. Cadwallader:Jones confessed Judgment for and on the behalf of Jno. Owine (OW-1) to William Blaire (BL-1) for Five hundred pounds of toba: and caske due by Bill to be paid with costs of suite als Exec."

"Collonl. Cadwalladr: Jones confessed Judgment for and on behalfe of Daniell Merriot (MERR-1) to William Blaire (BL-1) for One thousand pounds of toba: and caske due by Bill to be paid with costs of suite als Execution"

It would seem that a fellow named William Blaire (BL-1) had several suits involved with a number of others in this community.   However, on this same date in court, there were multiple other cases recorded with many, many, other folks involved which did not include our Cadwallader (JO-1).  He was connected to William Blaire (BL-1) in these records.  As was common, tobacco was the means of payment for debt which included the containers (caske) to transport it.
