Biography

Person SourceFrancis Costin, II, had person sources.1
Birthcirca 1695He was born circa 1695 in Northampton, Virginia, United StatesBGO.1
Marriageabout 1718He and Sarah Freshwater were married about 1718 in Northampton, Virginia, United StatesBGO.2
Will - Fathers13 March 1721/22He was named in his Father's will on on 13 March 1721/22 in Northampton, Virginia, United StatesBGO. He was shown as my son Francis in the will of Francis Costin, wife Isabell. He was given 50 acres bought of John Moor and for want of heirs to his son Jacob (under 18).3
Marriageabout 1734He and Agnes Somers were married about 1734 in Northampton, Virginia, United StatesBGO. According to Whitelaw in 1750 Francis Costin (wife Agnes) left 110 acres in tract N9 on the bayside to his son Francis. Whitelaw assumed that his wife had been the former Agnes Somers and title to the land had come to him through her and that she had gotten it by the 1703 will of Daniel Neech left his balance of 110 acres to wife Margaret, but if she did not make disposition it was to go to Thomas and Agnes Somers. Whitelaw also conjectured that this Agnes then married Azariah Scott, as 8 years later the death of Costin the Scotts sold the same land to John Wilson. Then in tracing the owership of tract N10 Whitelaw found evidence confirming the previous assumptoin that Francis Costin had married the widow Agnes Somers and that she late married Azariah Scot of tract N9 was found in a deed from the Scotts to Matthew Costin for her dower interest in the land left to him by Francis Costin. (NOTE: One concern here is that the Agnes Somers mentioned in the will of Daniel Neech was born circa 1680 and therefore would have been somewhat older then either Francis Costin or Azariah Scott, but it does support the owership of the land. Perhaps her brother (not husband) Thomas Somers, who died intestate in 1728, had a daughter Agnes who inherited the land and married Costin and Scott.)4,5
