The next decade (1680s) of the life of Cadwallader Jones (JO-1) is documented in a variety of records. All the pies, that he had his fingers in, were to cause a variety of downturns and upturns. It is difficult to place all these documents in a precise order because the topic of each will cover several years, and will be on multiple subjects that came to be part of the life of our Cadwallader. One will need a "score card" or "player roster" to begin to understand the various documents which at first seem unrelated, and the genealogists of the past have easily confused.
This post continues the account of the Rappahannock garrison, which is one topic that has been presented. It dates from 1682 when certain decisions were made regarding this fort. There were other events in the life of Cadwallader happening during the same time, and all cannot be pieced together without some context or framework to understand the happenings. I will again try to number the "topic" by CJ(#) so that related documents can be presented. Here goes.
Virginia's general assembly in 1682 began to assemble its account books, and its judgements on the cost of the previous Indian wars (Also Bacon's Rebellion). Meeting at James City on the 10th day of November 1682, they issued a series of orders of "...publique charge and leuy...". These orders included a number that deal with our Cadwallader. Listed under "Rappahanock County" is the following:
"To Coll Cadwallader Jones for a horfe & mare killed att ye Garrifon......2160" [lbs. tobacco]
"To ditto for entertaining ye Seneca Indians by the Gouernrs orders.........5400"
Under "Gloucefter County":
"To Coll Cadwr Jones Comandr of Rappa Garrison................................21000 [lbs. tobacco]
"To Coll Jones affigne of Robt Beverly....................................................39000
Under "Lancafter County":
"To Coll Cadwallader Jones Comander of the Troop of this County for pay for himfelfe his Corporall 19 foldier for one yeare four Months to End the 14th May next 65320 the fume of 24500 pounds of Tobacco & Cask being paid by the late prfidents Oder deducted Remainses due....40820
Caske...........................03265".
It would appear that Cadwallader finally got reimbursed for his service to the colony. If I added correctly it would come to 111649 lbs of tobacco and casts. This would be charged to Rappahannock, Gloucester, and Lancaster Counties. The order was given...collection was not.
