Birth | about 1734 | Agnes Costin was born about 1734 in Northampton, Virginia, United StatesBGO. |
Will - Fathers | 27 May 1750 | She was named in her Father's will on on 27 May 1750 in Northampton, Virginia, United StatesBGO. She was shown as daughter Agnes in the will of Francis Costin, wife Agnes.1 |
Name | about 1754 | As of about 1754, Agnes Costin was also known as Agnes Costin Scott. |
Marriage | about 1754 | Azariah Scott and she were married about 1754 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.)2 |
Land Sold | 1754 | She sold land in 1754 in Cedar Grove, Northampton, Virginia, United StatesBGO. The indenture of bargin and sale between Azariah Scott and Agnes his wife to Matthew Costin does not mention her dower rights or anything else that implies that Agnes was a widow before she married Azariah Scott, which is contray to Whitelaw's statement on page 75 (tract N10) that she was selling her dower interset. Evidently this Agnes was the daughter of Francis Costin & his 2nd wife Agnes Somers. |
