Charles Featherstone

Charles Featherstone was born about 1637 according to a Henrico County deposition. Charles held a patent to 700 acres on September 30, 1672.

Date of birth might be 1637.

Charles married Rebecca Stratton, the widow of Anthony Patram.

Charles died before October 2, 1682 when Henrico County recorded the inventory and appraisal of his estate. By then his widow had married Samuel Newman (c.1657 ).

When Charles Featherstone died, he had in his possession a horse belonging to Joseph Tanner. Newman refused to return the horse and in the October Court 1683 Tanner sued Newman. The court granted Tanner a judgment against Newman for the horse.

Henrico County ordered Samuel Newman to make a bond to the benefit of the orphans of Charles Featherstone August 1, 1694.

Henry Featherstone reached his twenty-first birthday after August 20, 1702 when he acknowledged receipt of his inheritance and discharged Newman of his guardianship.

In 1726, Rebecca (Stratton) Newman made a deposition in Henrico County court about Charles Featherstone’s four children.
