• Notes

  Lived in Amelia County in 1737 when it was cut off from Prince George County. On 16 October 1744 he bought from his brother, William Echols, 420 acres in Raleigh Parish of Amelia County next to the mouth of Stocks Creek and lying along the Appomattox River. Amelia County appointed him a surveyor of the land along the Appomattox River from Lovells Mill to Clements Mill in June 1745. [Amelia County Court Order Book 1, page 321A] Clements Mill belonged to William Clement. John lived at the river until 16 June 1749 when he sold this land, including his home, to Samuel Overton of St. Martin’s Parish, Hanover County, Virginia, for £150. The deed acknowledged that John Echols was moving. John died in 1751 in Beaufort County, North Carolina.
