    • At St. Stephen's Parish. In 1700, King and Queen County had a population of 4,206 people, was the most populous and based on its tobacco production, also the wealthiest.

      Both New Kent and King and Queen Counties are burned counties, meaning the county records went up in flames at one point or another. The New Kent records were intentionally burned, set afire in 1787 by one John Price Posey who was hanged for his dastardly deed. Certainly, Barbara and Abraham’s marriage license was among those records that burned.

  • Notes 
    • Moses came to live with Thomas Poor about 1721, so he was born about 1711 and Barbara his sister about 1713. This makes his mother’s age about 43 in 1713, so born about 1670 and married to Abraham probably about 1690/93.

    • On July 19th, 1787, something happened that no child ever wants to witness. Moses's father, Moses Sr. granted power of attorney and everything he owned to his son, Moses Jr., because he could no longer care for himself. That must have been a terribly sad day.

      I, Moses Estes Sr. unable to take care of such worldly estate wherewith it has pleased God to bless me - give to my son Moses - grant full power of attorney - all stock of cattle except 1 white cow yearling, 1 white mare, 1 grey horse, 2 sows, 2 barrows, 2 goats, man's saddle, bridle tools, carpenters, coopers and plantation tools, all household furniture, tubs, pots, pails, kettles, butter pots and everything else in my estate - Moses Estes mark - William Powell, William Younger, Rachel Younger witnesses

      Moses Jr.'s father, Moses Sr. died a few months later, in late 1787.
