| Anecdote | William Pinkethman was a vestryman of Bruton Church in 1694 and 1704, and after serving as justice, died while serving as Sheriff of York County in 1712. His will dated December 3, 1713, and proved 16 Feb., 1713 names grandson Pinkethman Eaton, son of his daughter Sarah and William Eaton, to whom he gives his plantation at the Mill Swamp, "where his father and mother now livith,with all that part of my land lying on that side of the Greate Roade next ye said plantation"; daughter Rebecca Pinkethman, who is to have "the plantation called my Quarter," couzin Margaret Knight," and daughter Mary, wife of Ralph Graves. Issue of William Pinkethman: 6 Sarah, who married William Eaton, and had Pinkethman Eaton. The parish register of Bruton has Pinkethman Eaton, son of Pinkethman Eaton, and Mary his wife, as born in 1748. This was Major Pinkethman Eaton, of North Carolina. The will of his father, Pinkethman Eaton, made in York county November 18, 1761, while naming his children Sarah, William and Henry, does not mention him, but it was not infrequently the case that the oldest son, being provided for by law, was omitted in wills at this time. The will of his brother William does mention him however. It was dated April 7, 1786, and naming his wife Mary and children Edward, William, Henry, John, Thomas, and Pinkethman, he describes himself as "brother of Major Pinkethman Eaton of North Carolina,an officer in the continental army, who got land for his service." Sarah [Pinkethman] Easton married 2dly.Daniel Taylor about 1714. "March 22, 1714. The action of debt between Daniel Taylor and Sarah, his wife, and Robert Cobbs and Rebecca, his wife, suriving executors of William Pinkethman deceased plts and William Barber, deft. is continued by consent till next court." William Pinkethman had issue also 7 Rebecca Pinkethman who married Robert Cobbs of York County. She died in 1715, leaving issue a daughter Elizabeth, born in 1704 and married James Shields in 1719. Robert Cobbs then married 2dly. Elizabeth,daughter of Daniel Allen, and had Sarah, who married Robert Jones, Jr., of Susex County, son of Robert Jones of Prince George County. Robert Jones was attorney general of North Carolina. [William and Mary Coll. Quarterly VI., p 121: Tyler's Quarterly 1, 120] In Albermarle Parish Register, Sussex Co., V, IS THE FOLLOWING NOTICE:"Robert Jones, son of Robert Jones of this parish, Attorney General of North Carolina in the 49th year of his age, died October 2, 1766."Doubtless it was his father mentioned in a later entry "Robert Jones, in his eighty first year, died February 14, 1775. Mr. Jones was born in November,1694." Robert Jones,Jr. was parent of Willie and Allen Jones, of North Carolina. The latter's birth in Albermarle Parish Register, Sussex County, reads as follows:"Allen, son of Robert Jones, Jr., and Sarah his wife, was born November 1,1743" Besides Sarah, Robert Cobbs had, by his second wife, Martha, who married Major Dudley Richardson, of James City County. Robert Cobbs made his will December 10, 1725, and Elizabeth Allen, his widow,surviving him, she married 2dly Samuel Welden, of Henrico Co. Va., a grandson of Major Samuel Weldon of York County, Va. The will of Samuel Weldon pf Dale Parish, Henrico Co., evidently he who married Elizabeth Allen, widow of Robert Cobbs, was proved July 1748, and names children (all under age) Daniel, Benjamin, Samuel, Elizabeth and Prisciller, son-in-law Roderick Easley, wife's daughters Sarah Jones and Martha Richardson,and her grandchildren Allen Jones, Willie and Charlotte Jones. Benjamin Weldon made his will in Southampton Co., Va., August 5, 1775 proved Febr. 9,1756 (note by JMH: should be 1776?); names sisters Elizabeth and Prisciller,brother Daniel, cousin Allen, Willie, and Martha Jones, brother Samuel Welson and friends Robert Jones and Gray Briggs. In 1749 Daniel Weldon was one of the commissioners of North Carolina about the Boundary Line, and Will and Allen Jones were members of the North Carolina Convention of 1776. Daniel Weldon married Elizabeth daughter of Col William Eaton, who went from York County, Virginia, to Prince George Co. and thence to Granville Co., North Carolina where he died in 1758. Col. William Eaton had several well known sons Co. william Eaton, General Thomas Eaton (who married Ann Bland of Virginia) and Lt. Col Charles Rust Eaton, whose daughter Mary married William Baskerville, of Virginia. Col. William Eaton's daughter Jane married Co. Nathaniel edwards, of Brunswick Co. Va. What relation Col. William Eaton was to William Eaton who married Sarah Pinkethman, and died about 1714 I do not know. There was a william Eaton whose wife as Mary daughter of William Brown, of "Four Mile Tree", who names him in his will in 1744. Col. William Eaton, of North Carolina, was the son of John Eaton of York County,Virginia who in his will recorded in York Co. about 1717 names his children (1)Samuel (2) William (3) John (4) Susannah married Ellott (50 Sarah married Woodland (6) Mary married Lepars (7) Elizabeth; wife Ann.
