1688 Charles City/Prince George County VA

CHARLES BLANCHEVILLE apparently sued the estate of Robert Lucy in 1688. From the nature of other court records, it seems this might have been for wages due or a share of a tobacco crop. In any case this suggests that CHARLES BLANCHEVILLE lived near Lucy.

Robert Lucy was married to the Sarah Barker the daughter of William Barker who founded Merchant's Hope plantation in the portion of Charles City County
south of the James River that is not Prince George County, Virginia.

James Wallace had a 1674 headrights grant bounded by the Blackwater Swamp and Robert Lucy's land, including headrights for Thomas Taylor. This was
apparently a resale/transfer of the headrights for Taylor from Sparrow & Tye. Thomas Taylor was originally named on the same 1650 headrights grant to
Charles Sparrow & Richard Tye as John Blackard.

Evidently, a man whose name was recorded numerous times in Charles City and Henrico as CHARLES BLACHEVILLE must have been a neighbor and associate. The largest portion of the cases in the Charles City court minutes of this time appear to have involved disputes over division of tobacco crops. For that
reason, I suspect the following court minutes entry mentioning CHARLES BLANCHEVILLE and the estate of Robert Lucy concerned the division of a
tobacco crop.

In Charles City County, VA Court Orders 1687-1695, page 149:

"At a court holden at Westover 3 August 1688 page 181 CHA. BLANCHEVILLE has
order agst Capt. James Bisse as merrying Adm'x of Robert Lucy, dec'd, for 2
days attendance at court"

Robert Lucy's sister, Mary Lucy married 1) Thomas Anderson and 2) Cornelius Cargill.

Anns husband appears to receive the estate of Charles Blancheville in 1697.

From the following deed, it appears that Charles Blancheville passed away before 28 October 1697 in Henrico County, VA. The 1693 will matches this info.
