832. Job TILLERY was born about 1680 in Virginia, Old Rappahannock Co. He died on 21 Apr 1730 in North Farnham, Richmond, VA. He married Mary COLWICK in 1700 in Richmond, Va. [Parents]

From research by Bobby Tillery:
"Job was born in Old Rappahannock County Virginia. Mary (daughter of
Hezekiah Colwick) was born in the same county. They were married,
probably in Richmond County Virginia. Both died on the same day in
Richmond County Virginia. It's assumed they both died from natural
causes as nothing to the contrary can be found. Job's Will is dated June
25, 1719 and proved August 5, 1730. Since Richmond County was formed out
of Old Rappahannock County in 1692, it would seem that Job and Mary lived
their entire lives in the same area. A lawsuit in 1770 involving a
Grandson of Job's further confirms this, as a statement in that suit
reveals that Job lived and died on the land in question (see below).
In 1770, a suite in ejectment arose in Richmond County Court in which it
is recited that Mary Colwick's father bought the land of John Alloway on
Totusky Creek. His only child Mary Colwick married Job Tillery and they
lived and died on the land, as did their son Job Tillery. The suit was
brought by Job TIllery, son and heir of the last mentioned Job Tillery,
and grandson and heir-in-law of Mary (Colwick) Tillery. In 1770, Sarah
Saunders, age 43, deposed that Job Tillery did not possess any land
before he married Mary Colwick; this she says she learned from her mother
as the Colwick land lay near a piece taken up by her father Edward
Brumbelow (W/B #5, p. 156, ECD papers, citing Tillery vs Lewis, p. 178).
The parish records show a Mary Tillery born to Job and Mary Tillery Apr
28, 1721. This may be a possibility????"
A transcript of Job Tillery's will is given on page 91 of "The Tillery
Family..."
See page 99 of "The Tillery Family..." for some additional Tillerys
who's relationship to Job is unclear.

833. Mary COLWICK was born about 1680 in of n Farnham Par, Richmond, Virginia.
