79Note: GARNETT, John [1648-1704/9] John GARNETT is the earliest GARNETT from whom a direct descent can be traced for the GARNETTs of colonial Virginia. He is th ought to have been the son of an earlier John GARNETT and it is assumed that he was born in Elizabeth City. The date of his birth in some sources has bee n placed as early as 1648 and as late as 1652. John GARNETT moved to Glouces ter County in about 1669. To John GARNETT [either this John GARNETT or his fa ther who was also named John GARNETT] was granted 260 acres of land lying o n the south side of Garden Creek in Gloucester County by the Governor Thomas Lord Culpeper on April 16, 1683. The grant of land lay between the property of John Smither and John Digges [Grant Book 7, page 239]. Some 180 acres h ad been purchased by John GARNETT from Humphrey Roy [this is likely the same person whose surname is recorded elsewhere as Humphrey Coy and also as Humphr ey Till] on June 15, 1676 and the remaining 80 acres were given to him for t ransporting at his own cost into the Colony two persons, Elizabeth Tindal and Thomas Combs.

This land transfer indicates that John Garnett had been one of the l ucky ones to survive a very difficult period in the history of the Virginia colony and had become one of the most prosperous planters of this early era. The deed of sale from John Baker to John Garnett is dated September 7, 1692 and the sale was concluded in consideration of 9000 pounds of tobacco in cas ks. The deed was admitted to record on November 10, 1692.
