On December 21, 1685 it is recorded:
"Ordered that Colnll. Cadwalldr. Jones (JO-1) or whom he shall depute be impowered to distraine for all arrears of Leaveys due & to be paid him the last yeare as being High Sheriff of this County for wch doing this shall be his sufficient warrant"
Distrain means "to seize by distress". It would seem that the court was in effect putting a "lean" on those who owed back taxes. It is the same date that John Battaile (BAT-1) was given as the attorney of Mrs Catharine Jones (JO-10) and our Cadwallader Jones. (JO-1){see last post #30}
It is of interest to note that John Battaile (BAT-1) was "Sub-Sheriff" of (Old) Rappahannock during this time as documented on p.22 of the Court Order Book dated "2d of December 1685". The relationship between our Cadwallader (JO-1)and John Battaile (BAT-1) is continuous throughout this period. [see post CJ (#21) ]

CJ (#30) Mrs. Catharine Jones 1685
On December 21, 1685 there was recorded in Rappahannock County Court the following:
" John Battaile (BAT-1), Attorney of Mrs. Catharine Jones (JO-10), Attorney of Colnll. Cadwalader Jones (JO-1) did this day for & on behalf & in the name of the sd Cadwaldr. Jones (JO-1) confess judgment unto Mr. Henry Awbrey (AW-1) for present payment of one able negro man slave betwixt the years of fourteen & twenty one upon Bill made the hand & seale of the sd Colll. Jones (JO-1) wch this Court have ordered to be paid unto the sd Mr. Henry Awbrey (AW-1) with cost of suit als exe."
This reference documents the name of "Mrs. Catharine Jones (JO-10)" who is believed to be the wife of our Cadwalader (JO-1). There has been much discussion regarding this reference [see Who Was Catherine, The Wife Colonel Cadwallader Jones of Virginia, The Virginia Genealogist, Vol. 38, 1994 , pp. 163 - 189 : Katherine (____) (Debnam) Grymes and Some Relatives, The Virginia Genealogist, Vol. 41, No. 3, 1997, pp. 163 - 171 and Vol. 41, No. 4, 1997, pp. 280 - 291.]
The court reference is from: (Old) Rappahannock County, Virginia Order Book Abstracts 1685 - 1687, The Ancient Press, Ruth & Sam Sparacio, p. 23.

CJ (#21) Transportation Out of England
Stimulating immigration to the colony of Virginia was accomplished by "Headrights". The London Company established the rule that any person who paid his own way to Virginia should be assigned 50 acres of land. If he transported at his own expense others, he would be assigned 50 acres of land for each person transported. [For each person whose passage he paid.] On the "2d of April 1684" Cadwallader Jones (JO-1) is granted 1200 acres for the transport of 24 persons. It reads:
"Certificate according to Act of Assembly is granted to Col. Cadwalladr. Jones for Twelve hundred acres of land for the Importation of twenty fower persons into this Collony whose names are..." The names listed in order given and coded are - [ (Old) Rappahannock Co. Orders 1683 - 1685, p. 12.]
1) Jno. Hewes (HEW-1), 2) Eliza. Abbot. (AB-1), 3) Jno. Thedam. (THE-1), 4) Tho: How: (HOW-1), 5) Richard Gansell (GAN-1), 6) Michall Meredith (MER-1), 7) Mich: Dare: (DAR-1), 8) Fran: Piggis (PIG-1), 9) Jno. Battaile (BAT-1), 10) Jno. Dons (DON-1), 11) Jon. Legg (LEG-1), 12) Wm. Harvee (HAR-1), 13) Hen. Price (PRI-1), 14) Wm. Blaire (BL-1), 15) Richd. Payne (PA-4), 16) Eliza. Harborn (HARB-1), 17) Jacob Read (RE-1), 18) David Wickes (WIC-1), 19) Andrew Harrisson (HARR-1), 20) Jno. Silvester (SI-2), 21) Wm. Smith (SM-44*), 22) Alexander Rose (ROS-1), 23) Thos. Spice (SPI-1), and...24 ) Col. Cadwallader Jones (JO-1) "...for his last transportation out of England."
This list certainly contains a number of unusual surnames. Several of these surnames will play an important role in future (and past) documents. The most important is Jno. Battaile (BAT-1) who will continue to play a role in the life of our Cadwallader. William Smith (SM-44*) is a name which appears often, but it is uncertain if it is the same individual. The surname Silvester, Price, and Harrison, also appear frequently among the branches.
This document also indicates that our Cadwallader (JO-1) had a number of trips across the ocean blue. He was certainly an active fellow. [See previous post with land transaction dated 29 Dec. 1677 with David Jones (JO-2), and listed in CJ (#11).]
