During the years that our Cadwallader Jones (JO-1) was active in (Old) Rappahannock County, the following is recorded in the deed book of 1682 - 1686:
"October Court 1684
Know All Men by these presents that I John Griffin (GR-2) of the Parish of Kingston in the County of Glocester, Shipwright, doe by these presents sell and this day have delivered a Barke called "The Humble Servant" about fifty odd tunns with all appurtenances fitted as to Carpenters work now Riding at an anchor in Blackwater Creeke for the value of One hundred and forty pounds Sterl. money of England in hand reced from Col.

An interesting name this "The Humble Servant". I suspect Cadwallader Jones changed its name.

CJ (#27) A Justice of The Peace 1685
On July 2nd, 1685, at a court held for Rappahannock County, "Colnll. Cadwall. Jones" (JO-1) appears as a justice for the peace. It would seem that his social position had not suffered in this environment where he had been "High" sheriff, and had his bond recalled as a breach of his service. He is listed with:
"Att a Court held for Rappa:County July ye 2d 1685, Present Colnll. Jno. Stone (ST-1), Lt. Colnll. Wm. Loyd (LO-1), Colnll. Cadwall. Jones (JO-1), Capt. Geo. Tayler (TAY-2)". A large number of cases were handled on this day in court. [See (Old) Rappahannock County Order (1683-1685) p. 93 - 97.]
It is important to record that on the day before, July 1, a Katerine Jones is recorded (JO-8) as follows:
"Quietus est is granted to Katherine Jones (JO-8) from the Estate of her deced Husband Robt: Jones (JO-9) haveing by the accot: exhibited to this Court made it appeare that she hath paid the whole Estate as inventoried to the Creditors thereof"
This date records that a Katherine Jones (JO-8) was the widow of a Robert (Robt.) Jones (JO-9). This Robert Jones (JO-9) has his own family story dealing with the Civil War period in England. It has been discussed by many others that a "Katerine Jones (JO - ?) was the wife of our Cadwallader. It is possible that it was this Katherine Jones (JO-8), who was actually the wife of Robert Jones (JO-9), that has been confused with this person. More to come.

CJ (#26) June 1685
The summer of 1685 seems to have been a busy time for all those folks in (Old) Rappahannock County. James II had just started his reign, and number of dramatic changes were about to take place. On the 4th of June it is recorded:
"Whereas by the Sheriffs returne of an execution bearing date the 2d day of Aprill 1685, issued upon an Order of Aprill Court last past to Capt. Cadwaldr: Jones (JO-1), assignee of Colnll. Nicholas Spencer (SPE-1), Attorney of my Lord Culpeper (CU-1) againt the Estate of Majr. Henry Smith (SM-45) decd, for Eleven thousand pounds of tobb:& cask of the sd Order is leaveyed of the Estate aforesd. And Whereas the charge of the sd Order amounts to 404 lbs. of tobb:, It is there ordered that sd Execution formerly issued against the Estate aforesaid be continued in force and the remaining dues upon the sd Order of Court with cost be leaveyed by Virture of the same"
Here poor Cadwallader seems to listed as "Capt." [captain] instead of his usual title of "Colln."[colonel]. Later court dates will reinsert the title. Again, our Cadwallader is listed as the "assignee" of Nicholas Spencer. (SPE-1)

CJ (#26) May 1685
Records of the Rappahannock County Court of 7th May 1685 continues:
"Refference is granted to Colnll. Cadwallider Jones Plt. (JO-1) & Frederick Grimshaw Deft. (GRI-1) till next North side Court".
At this time Rappahannock County cover both sides of the Rappahannock River. The south side was the most western and faced the unknown frontier. The north side faced to the northeastern border of prior settlements. Courts were held on both sides of the river. Cases from this same date contained many individuals that were to play a role in the family of Cadwallader Jones (JO-1).
From (Old) Rappahannock Courty Orders 1683 - 1685, p. 86.

CJ ( #26) Another Judgment
The Rappahannock County Court continues on the 1st of April 1685 giving the following:
"Judgmt. is granted to Colnll. Caldwaldr:Jones (JO-1), assignee of Nicholas Spencer Esqr.(SPE-1) Attorney of the Lord Culpeper, against the Estate of Majr. Wm. Smyth (SM-44) deced for Eleven thousand pounds of tobb:& caske being the condicon of a Bond bearing date the 30th day of 7ber 1683, the consideration for which the sd Bond was passed by attestation the Honrble. Nicholas Spencer Esqr. (SPE-1) appearing to be for Quit Rents reced by the sd. Major. Smyth during his Office of Sheriff of this County wch: is 11715 lbs. of tobb: & cask; Tis Court have ordered to be pd. according to priority in Law wth: costs of suit als exec."
This case shows the connections that our Cadwallader (JO-1) had with the powers to be! Lord Culpeper [King Charles II granted the "Northern Neck" to some half-dozen noblemen in 1649.] had
received transfers of ownership to this area, and was to die around 1688/90. Nicholas Spencer (SPE-1) represented Lord Culpeper as his attorney. Our Cadwallader was then the assignee of Spencer.
See Hening, Vol. 1, p 358 for a discussion of the 1649 grant. An understanding of the origin and ownership of the Northern Neck becomes important in later tree climbing adventures.
The case is recorded (Old) Rappahannock County Orders (1683 - 1685), p. 74.
