In 1696 James Ewell Jr. bought 250 acres of Whitelaw's tract A109, which is south of Guilford and west of Parksley on the south fork of Muddy Creek, from John West and in 1697 he bought 300 acres from William & Dorothy Jarman who later moved to Somerset Co, MD. (NOTE: It is not clear why he was referred to James Ewell Jr., since he appears to be the first and oldest James Ewell in Accomack County.).2 He made a will on 7 August 1703 at Accomack Co, VA. To son Mark. To wife Anne all my land & plantation. Daughter Patience Ewell. Daughter Ann Ewell. Son Solomon. Daughter Comfort Tatham. Grandaughter Jane Tatham. Grandau Tabyther Tatham. Son Charles. Son Mark Exr. Son George. Witt: John Drummond, Robert Norton, William Willet, Sarah Ryley. According to Whitelaw son Mark received the home part of 300 acres, which James had bought from the Jarmans, and which incidentally had been the site of the Jarman home. Son Solomon received the 250 acres which James had bought directly from John West. This Solomon may have been the Colonel Solomon Ewell who became such a large landowner and prominent man in the upper part of the county..3,4 James died before 5 June 1704 at Accomack Co, VA. It was on this date that his will was probated..5
