It was the 1st of November, 1686 that our Cadwallader Jones (JO-1) appears as a justice of the court. He is listed with "Colnll. Jon. Stone" (ST-1), "Capt. Samuel Blomfield" (BLO-1), and "Mr. Samuel Peachey" (PE-1). A lot of cases are dealt with during this session [p. 59- 62 of (Old) Rappahannock County Court Order Book Abstracts 1685 - 1687]
On page 60 of this reference is recorded:
" Attachmt. is granted to Jno. Battaile (BAT-1) Assignee of Colnll. Cadwaldr. Jones (JO-1) against the Estate of Danll. Merriott (MERR-1) accord: to Declaracon returnable."
John Battaile (BAT-1) has a long standing relationship with our Cadwallader (JO-1). It was our Cadwallader (JO-1) that transport John to the colonies. Much is yet to be discovered regarding this relationship, but it would seem that this date in November 1686 was the last date that Cadwallader Jones (JO-1) was recorded to be physically present in the courts of (Old) Rappahannock County. New adventures await!

CJ (#35) Court Days August 1686
It must have been a very long day for those in Rappahannock County Court the 4th of August 1686. The four justices; Mr. Henry Awbrey (AW-1), Mr. Samll. Peachey (PE-1), Capt. Samll. Blomfield (BLO-1), and Capt. Samll. Travers (TR-2) all had some dealings with our Cadwallader Jones (JO-1). The cases recorded for that day covers p. 237 - 243 of the order book 1685 - 1687. On p. 242 is found:
"Reference granted between Tho: Norman Plt. (NOR-1) and Colnll. Cadwalar: Jones (JO-1) Deft till next South side Court &c."
It would seem that Cadwallader (JO-1) was the defendant in another case brought to court this 4th of August 1686. Things would change from here.

CJ (#35) An Oath 1686
At a Rappahannock County court held the 4th day of August 1686 it is recorded:
"Ordered that Mr. John Catlett (CA-1) & Mr. John Taliaferro (TA-4) do meet at some convenient place on the 15th day of next Septemr: then & there to Inventory & appraise the Estate of Robert Cash (CAS-1) decd and that they make report of their proceedings herein to the next South side Court to be held for this County. Colnll. Cadwalader Jones (JO-1) is requested to administer an Oath to the sd Appraisers for their more just & true appraisement as also to call before him all such persons as shall be any wise suspected to have any of the Estate of the sd Cash in their hands & to administer an Oath to them for the discovery of the same "
It would seem that our Cadwallader (JO-1) was still active on the south side of Rappahannock River in August 1686. John Catlett (CA-1) and John Taliaferro (TA-4) were both involved continuously in the life of our Cadwallader. (JO-1)
The document is recorded in (Old) Rappahannock County Orders 1685 - 1687, p. 51.

CJ (#34) Justice of The Peace 1686
At a court held the 7th day of July 1686 [(Old) Rappahannock County ] the following is recorded:
"Colnll. Cadwaldr. Jones (JO-1), Mr. Wm. Tayloe (TAY-3) & Capt. Samll. Travers (TR-2) having taken the Oaths of allegience & supremacy were by Colnll. John Stone (ST-1) & Lt. Colnll. Wm. Loyd (LO-1) sworne Justices of the peace for this County".
An oath was given and taken during this time due to the new reign of James II. [ Starting around May 1686.] Much was to happen surrounding this chance of events. The religious context of the day must be considered. Much to be understood and applied to our Cadwallader (JO-1). At least he was still active in July of 1686 in old Rappahannock.
Record from:
(Old) Rappahannock County Orders (1685 - 1687), p. 47, by Ruth & Sam Sparacio.

CJ (#33) The Straw (part 1)
Life was certainly not easy for old Cadwallader Jones (JO-1) during the years 1985 - 1986. It was on the 3rd of March 1685/6 (1686) that the following was recorded in the court order book of (Old) Rappahannock County.
"Mr. John Taverner (TAV-1) appeared Attorney for Mr. Tho. Glascock, (GL-1), Attorney Capt. Wm. Wraxall (WR-1).
- Whereas upon issue joyned between William Wraxall (WR-1) of the Citty of Bristoll in the Kingdom of England, Mariner, and William Colston (COLS-1) of Rappa: County in his Maties Colony of Virginia, the Plt. by his Attorney, Thomas Glascock (GL-1), shewed that whereas Cadwallader Jones (JO-1) of the sd County & Colony Gent. did draw Bills of Exchange for Sixteen pounds Sterling money of England upon John Jeffries Esqr. (JE-1) Merchant in London, payable unto the sd William Colston (COLS-1) which sd Bills of Exchange for a consideracon received the Defent. assigned to the sd Wm. Wraxall (WR-1), but..."
This record becomes a bit confusing with similar names and the way it is written. I will try to separate the document into sections calling this "part 1" which establishes the issue. Our Cadwallader Jones (JO-1) gave a "Bills of Exchange" for sixteen pounds Sterling (English Money) payable to William Colston (COLS-1) [was clerk of court 1683 ]. This was based upon John Jeffries Esqr. (JE-1), merchant in London [He has long standing relationship to many in the colony of VA and the Jeffery family comes through the same line as our Cadwallader!] William Colston (COLS-1) then makes "a consideration" with William Wraxall (WR-1) Mariner from the City of Bristol... "but"... more to come.
From: (Old) Rappahannock County Orders 1685 - 1687, pp. 32 - 33.
