Matthew Marks1

M, #11703, d. between 15 August 1719 and 13 October 1719

ChartsWinifred Dean Pedigree

Death*between 15 August 1719 and 13 October 1719 2 
Probate*13 October 1719 Prince George, VA, Last Will & Testament of Matthew Marks, late of Prince George County, Decd. Made this date; probated at Merchants Hope 13Oct1719. Named Edward Marks, son of Edward Marks, to have 200 acres adjoining Ward's Creek at age 21; John Robyson to have the land at The Ponds; Israel and Edward Robyson to have the land on the other end of the Spring branch at Blighton's line; daughter Mary Davenport to have the parcel of land at The Ponds next to Blighton's line; John Marks, son of Israel Marks, to have 50 acres next to the Southern Run and Harrison's line; daughter [Elizabeth?] to have two beds, one for her and the other for Robert Norden during his time of tarrying in Virginia; to John Marks, son of Israel Marks, a feather bed; Robert Norden to have my plantation to live on until Edward Marks comes of age. Executors: Robert Norden, John Avery. /s/ Matthews Marks. Wit: Elizabeth Marks, Joseph "X" Thomas, Mary Jones, Penelope Warthen, (Prince George County, VA, Deeds & Wills, 1713-1728, 358)

     The Prince George County Court House was at Merchants Hope Plantation from 1714-1728. Marks had apparently sold the land he patented in Isle of Wight County before he made the will-unless there were two Matthew Marks. Another Matthew Marks appeared in Goochland (later Cumberland) County in 1738 (see below).

Probate12 June 1721 Prince George, VA, Estate of Mathew Marks, late of Prince George County, Decd. Estate accounting mentions George Davenport, Captain Goodrich, Robert Norden, John Avery, William Hamlin, and Eliza Marks. (Prince George, VA, Deeds & Wills, 1713-1728, 470), Witness=George Davenport3 
Event-Misc*21 April 1690 Prince George, VA, LAND PATENT: Matthew Marks, 556 acres in Charles City County in Martin's Brandon. Beginning near Ward's Run, by land late belonging to Edward Richards; by Mr. Blighton. For transportation of 12 persons: Tho. Wells, Robt. Wood, Jane Whitby, John Sampson, Adam Good, Wm. Wright, Rich. Lewis, Edwd. Moore, Walter Long, Wm. Webster, Diana & Robin, Negroes [Slaves]. (Virginia Patents, 8:77)

     This was Matthew Marks first appearance in Virginia land records. The land was in the James River watershed, Ward's Run being a headwater of Ward's Creek, near the Charles City (Prince George since 1702) and Surry Line. The current (1997) Virginia Department of Transportation general highway map of Prince George County indicates that the area has been returned to wilderness, has few local roads.

Criminal*22 January 1691 Charles City, VA, PRESENTMENT: At a Charles City County Court held at Westover, John Moore, Matthew Marks, Thomas Potts, Samuel Easley, and Richard Warthen were presented [indicted] by the Grand Jury on information of Captain Nicholas Wyatt for not attending their parish church. Sheriff ordered to summon said delinquents to next Court to answer the charges. (Charles City Count, VA, Court Orders 1687-1695, 348)

     Matthew Markes, by land location, was settled within Martin's Brandon Parish, where all records have long been lost.

          (Princeton, NJ: Author, 1958), 222-227..

Event-Misc16 June 1714 Isle of Wight, VA, LAND PATENT: Matthew Marks of Surry County, 200 acres of New Land in Isle of Wight County on the south side of Main Blackwater Swamp, adjoining Captain William Brown. For 20 Shillings. (Virginia Patents, 10:192)

     By other evidence (see below), Matthew Marks' daughter Mary was the wife of George Davenport [Sr.], who would become the Matriarch of the Prince George Davenports. The fact that George's father-in-law was speculating in Isle of Wight land might explain why George's headrights were being used there. Marks preferred to pay cash for his patent, an option made available by the King's Land Office in the early 1700s when populating Virginia from England was no longer a top priority.
6 
Event-Misc23 December 1714 York, VA, LAND PATENT: John Eaton of York County, 429 acres of New Land in Prince George County, beginning on the Southern Run in the line of Captain George Blighton, Decd., adjoining land of Ralph Hill. For 10 Shillings and importation of 7 persons: Matthew Marks, Mary Marks, Edward Marks, John Marks, Israel Marks, Sarah Marks, William Townsin [Townsend?]. (Virginia Patents, 10:222)

     Considering the constituency of the transportees, which appear to be the family of Matthew Marks, and the fact that Matthew Marks obtained his first patent in 1690 and paid for the land with 12 headrights, none of which were himself or family members, it would appear that Matthew Marks and family had taken a trip, left Virginia, and then had returned, for Marks children were likely born in Virginia and were therefore ineligible for headrights for importation, unless they had left Virginia and returned. The land patented here was in the same neighborhood where Marks had his manor plantation. His land also adjoined Captain Blighton.
6 
Event-Misc14 June 1715 Prince George, VA, MINISTER QUALIFIED, MEETING HOUSE APPROVED: At a Prince George County Court, Robert Norden, an Anabaptist minister, took the Oath of Allegiance to the King as required by Law, and was authorized to preach at the house of Matthew Marks, designated by the Court as the meeting house. (Prince George County, VA, Court Orders 1714-1720, 20)7 
Will*15 August 1719 Prince George, VA, Witness=Mary Marks, Witness=Elizabeth Marks

Christening1928 Brooklyn, Kings, New York, USA1 
Birth*14 January 1928 Brooklyn, Kings, New York, USA1 
Burial* Providence Cem., Cache, Utah, USA1 
Note* Born 'Francis Thomas Dupree'. Called 'Frank Dupree III' or just 'Frank Dupree' throughout life. Church records are indicated as 'Frank Dupree III'. Preferences: Leave LDS Church records with 'Frank Dupree III'. Using 'Frank Dupree' (with 'III' when legally necessary) in daily life. Prefer 'Francis Thomas Dupree' on my (FD's) gravestone. In genealogical records, entering same data under 'Francis Thomas (Frank) Dupree' and 'Frank Dupree III', so data can be readily found under either name. Basis for 'Frank Dupree III' : Father = Frank Dupree Jr.; Grandfather = Frank Dupree Sr. Basis for 'Francis Thomas Dupree' : Christened and baptized shortly after birth in the Roman Catholic Church in Brooklyn, New York. Traditionally named after the father of each of my parents. Father's father being 'Frank', 1st name was to be 'Frank', but became 'Francis' since mother . . . being 100% Irish . . . preferred 'Francis' (the Irish equivalent for 'Frank'). Mother's father's first name being 'Thomas' (Thomas Clemens Foley), middle name became 'Thomas'. Father agreed with all of this, but in daily usage called me 'Frank' and thus expected me to use 'III' to legally distinguish between my father (Frank Dupree Jr.) and my grandfather (Frank Dupree Sr.). Mother agreed to this daily usage, but in final legal aspects (such as on her gravestone: Providence Cemetary, River Heights,Utah) preferred 'Francis Thomas Dupree'. Her wish was honored. It should additionally be clarified that when I went 'on the road' as a professional musician in 1945, I legally changed my name from 'Frank Dupree III' (which was being used most commonly instead of 'Francis Thomas Dupree') to 'Thomas Francis Raye'. On 23 December 1952 my father returned from Germany (his military assignment during the occupation of Germany following World War II) and strongly requested that I legally revise my name from 'Thomas Francis Raye' back to 'Frank Dupree III'. [Since my original legal name was 'Francis Thomas Dupree', I should have revised it 'back' to 'Francis Thomas Dupree', but confused the naming situation worse by introducing 'Frank Dupree III' as my legal name.] Although the name-change document of 23 December 1952 legally establishes my name as 'Frank Dupree III', I still prefer my original name at birth and baptism as 'Francis Thomas Dupree' (for I feel that this is who I really am, the rest of the actions being superfluous). However, so as not to confuse legal transactions, I currently use 'Frank Dupree' (since my father and grandfather are deceased and thus there is no further need to reflect the 'III'.1
