HOUSEHOLD 56

[A125]

Whitelaw states:

... 1713 [John] Clark sold to Hancock Custis and John Wise sr., as trustees, "for the use of the Parish of Accomack for Ever for the Glebe." At the time there was only one Parish in Accomack, which took in the whole County (Whitelaw:1189).

... 1724 In a report prepared by the Reverend William Black, the then minister, he said "Glebe and house good for nothing, rented for £1. I do not live on it." (1189).

... 1768 The a "new" house was built on the land. It was torn down in 1942. (1190).
