From Joan Melton Bartay
Ownedland North of Charles City in a part of New Kent Co., which became Hanover Co.before 1700. He was a Quaker. In 1702 he was associated with the Church of England. After a survey of land returned on 3-14-1708/9 of 39 precincts, precinet #30 was formed from the following properties lying adjacent to each other:
Melton, Richard
Renolds Jr., Tho.
Farris, John
Case, Hugh
Murrah, John
Land #1 of Richard Melton
From 1711-1719 the precinct was formed from these properties:
Clarke, Francis
Lovell, Geo (from 1711 to 1716)
Lovell, Widd. (added 11-1716)
Field, Alice
Renolds, Tho
Renolds, Wm.
Priddy, Nich.
Aldridge, John
Willis, Fran
Leak, Walter (added 11-1716)
Land #2 of Richard Melton: Looks like this piece was acquired by William and John Melton, and after 1755 by John's Orphans and William's Orphans. William's orphans were listed with this piece until 1767 when it looks like Joel Melton takes the place of Wm" Orphans. In 1771 Joel's property is divided from the orphans of John either by being absorbedinto the new precinct, or by Joel purchasing new land and selling the other piece. More likely, it was just divided into a new precinct. From 9-1715 to 1719 this land was listed in Richard Melton's name along with John White, Edw. Clard, Cha. Fleming, Tho Massey, Wm. Macon and Tho. Bailey. Richard Melton is not listed after 1719.
