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.

CJ (#23) High Sheriffe 1684
It was during the next month that Cadwallader Jones (JO-1) was made "High Sheriffe" of Rappahannock County. On the 8th of May 1684, county court records read:
"-This day was Collonl. Cadwalladr: Jones (JO-1) Sworne High Sheriffe of this county of Rappahannock, And Collonl. John Stone (ST-1), Mr. Samuell Peachey (PE-1) and Mr. William Fantleroy (FA-1) entered into Bond togeather with the said Collonl. Jones to this Worshipfull Court for the true pformance of the Office and trust reposed in his as High Sheriffe "
On this same date, other folks were sworn to various offices. Most of these folks played a role in clarifying the very complex family tree. Additional records from the same date reads:
"-This day was Mr. James Tayer (TAY-1) Sworne Under Sheriffe for this County of Rappahannock on the North side the River for this ensuing yeare: And this day was John Battaile (BAT-1) sworne Under Sheriffe for the South side Rappahannock River for this ensuing yeare Anno 1684 "
Additional orders were given which included individuals connect to the life of our Cadwallader Jones (JO-1):
"-Ordered that Robert Thomas (THO-1) & Edward Ellis (EL-1) be Survayors of the Highways for this ensuing 1684, in the place and stead of Mr. John Catlet (CA-1) & Mr. John Taliaferro (TA-4) on the South side the River...and Mr. Henry Williams (WI-3) in the roome of Mr. William Slaughter (SL-1)"
"-It is ordered...be Constable in the place of...Edward Jones (JO-6) in the roome of Mr. Alexander Newman (NEW-1)..."
Well there are lots of surnames here: Stone, Peachey, Fantleroy, Battaile, Catlet, Taliaferro, Williams, and Slaughter. All these surnames were to play a role in connecting the dots to this family tree. North and South of the river Rappahannock comes into play as the geography of this area become important. Much, much, more to come!
