• Notes

  Dorothy Dabney was the fourth child of Cornelius Dabney I and the first child of his second wife, Susannah. According to one estimate, she was probably born about 1680 in the part of New Kent County that is now Hanover County. She was married to Capt. William Anderson of King William County between June, 1699, and April, 1701. In 1701, they received a land patent for 179.5 acres in King Wiliam County, recently formed from Pamunkey Neck, previously part of King and Queen County. The patent adjoined three patents awarded at the same time to her half-brothers James and George Dabney and her half-sister Sarah (Dabney) Winston . The patents were awarded because their deceased father, Cornelius Dabney, had a lease or leases in Pamunkey Neck (later King William County) for 600 or 700 acres from the Pamunkey tribe before his death in 1694. Dorothy and William had at least eight children. Their eldest son was William, who was living in 1720 when his mother deeded two slaves to him and in 1722 when his grandmother Susanna Dabney Anderson included him in her will, but died before reaching full majority. His brother, Dabney Anderson reached adulthood and died about 1734/35. There were six daughters: Elizabeth, Susannah, Sarah, Mary, Judith, and Ann, concerning whom nothing has been found by this writer. William Anderson’s activities in King William County included service as a witness for deeds in 1704 and 1707. On June 20, 1707, he bought a half-acre lot in the recently surveyed village of Delaware Town (now West Point at the southern end of King William County). He was appointed Justice of the Peace in 1710 and sheriff in 1711 and 1712. He died in 1716/17. A copy of the inventory and appraisement of his estate made June 25. 1719 was filed in Louisa County Chancery Suit 1804-006 available in the Library of Virginia’s Chancery Record Index. Dorothy remarried to James Trice Jr., probably of neighboring Caroline County, between 1720 and 1722. His father may have been the James Trice who received a land grant of 226 acres in 1673 in New Kent County and was charged with 350 acres in the 1704 Quit Rent Roll in King and Queen County, but in both cases probably in the area that later became Caroline County. James Trice Jr. was a road supervisor in 1733, executor for the estate of his step-son Dabney Anderson in 1735, guardian for Tabitha Booth in 1751, and a juror on five different panels. Dorothy died about 1732. James Trice Jr, probably died about 1768, since the appraisal of his estate was dated February 22, 1769. [2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17]
