John Billups, in his own words |
| If he could speak to us today, John Billups might describe his life as follows. |
 |
|
I was born about 1660 in that part of Gloucester County that is today Mathews County. I could tell you more about my family but for the loss of record in both counties. The Kingston Parish Register does reveal that I was a member of the vestry, the committee that managed the affairs of the parish, in 1682, 1684, 1687 and 1690-5. |
I inherited part of my father’s 1,200 acres and the tradition is that I lived at the family home on Billups Creek, part of which is still standing. I added 38 acres in Kingston Parish, Gloucester County, 25 October 1695.  |
|
The name of my first wife is unknown, but we apparently had no children. I married second Mary Glascock 6 June 1695. |
|
I died in 1709 leaving two sons, Joseph and Robert Billups. Joseph and his sons went to Southside Virginia, but I do not know what happened to Robert. |
|  |
|
|
We are placing Joseph as a son of John’s 2nd wife as his life’s chronology suggests he was born after 1795. |
