1686 - Charles Blanchevill (Charles City VA) Wm Marston, as Exec. of Fraa. Lord, dec'd confesseth judgt. to Cha. Blanchevill for 600 lbs tobo.
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.

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.
Perhaps Allenson Clarke is the same person as Alexander Clark who marriied Ann Blancharedt in 1693.
