From Cindy - CDVal808@aol.com
- Ran across 2 references to Abraham ROUSE in Isle of Wight Co.,
VA.
- June 1670, Abraham was a witness to a land deed between
William RUFFIN and
- Katherine THORNTON. Others names mentioned: Arthur WHITEHEAD,
Rebecca
- THORNTON and Robert KING.
-
- October, 1670, Abraham witnessed Moses POWELL giving power of
attorney to
- Capt. John PONTIS. Other names: W. PORTER? Richard SHARP.
-
- Thought I would pass this along.

- From Sarah
-
- My small library has the index to the NC Historical and
Genealogical
- Register but not the Register itself. (What exactly is it?)
Anyway, John
- Rouse is listed on page 445 of Vol. 3 and Joseph Rouse is
listed on page
- 444 of Vol. 3 if anyone has access to the real
thing.
-
- Came across two more Rouses in a book called Virginia Wills
and
- Administrations:
-
- Robert Rouse of Norfolk--1687 w.
-
- Abraham Rouse as a witness to a deed (between William Ruffin
and Katherine
- Thornton) on June 9, 1670; also as on Oct. 12, 1670 as witness
to Moses
- Powell giving power of attorney to Capt. John
Pontis.

- Thought some of you might be interested in what I found today
in the very
- limited collection of the Poquoson library about the Rouses
and the Brights
- in a book called Early Virginia Immigrants. Of course, I don't
know if any
- of them were connected with our Dobbs County people. I think
these were
- people whose immigration was sponsored by others. I learned a
little about
- this when I thought (sigh) that I was descended from Capt.
Thomas Graves.
- Sponsoring people was a way to get land in the early days of
the Virginia
- colony. Capt. Graves sponsored many people and was awarded
lots of land
- for his efforts.
