Misc. Notes
THOMAS ASCROFT was born around 1659, England; he died October 1747 in New Kent Co. County, Virginia; He came from England before 1689, probably in the early 1680's.
Thomas married (1) MARY MNU in mid to late 1680's. She died February 20, 1711/12 in New Kent Co. County, Virginia. He married (2) JOHANNAH MNU about 1713. She died July 25, 1716, perhaps in childbirth (listed in St. Peters Parish Vestry Book). New Kent County, Virginia. Thomas and both of his wives were members of St. Peter's and Paul Parish Anglican Church, New Kent County, Virginia.
The Thomases lived in New Kent County, Virginia near the mouth of Black Creek. Thomas Ascroft mentioned in Notes On Southside Virginia, p. 127 by Walter A. Watson, was the first of this line to come to America. Thomas is mentioned along with three other men, Francis Hayes, John Cole, Ralph Denby, as having been transported into the colony by John Watson. In August 1689 John Watson received land in exchange for having paid the passage for these four men. Typically there was a matter of years between the time passage was paid for a person and when the land was actually deeded to the payor.
According to the Virginia 1704 Rent Rolls, Thomas Ashcroft paid taxes on 180 acres on Black Creek in the parish of St. Peter's and St. Paul's, New Kent County, Virginia. He lived in New Kent County, Virginia the rest of his life.
Thomas became disabled about 1724. His land on Black Creek in New Kent County was sold by the church and the proceeds were used to care for him. He was cared for by Thomas Martin from 1724 through 1740. James, son of Thomas, and Johannah, took over his care about 1741 and cared for him until his death in October 1747.
