After feeding Aylett's mill pond, Spirit Run flows into the river just above Pointer's Landing, thus cutting off a deep bend in the Mattapony and enclosing one of the most fertile farms on the north side of the county.

1749, 16 Jun: At a King William Co., VA court, Ann Temple presented three writings, A, B and C, each purporting to be the will of Joseph Temple. William Temple, Gent., son and heir of Joseph, appeared and consented to enter immediately on the contestation of the wills.
Ann swore that "A" was published at the date therof, 1744, and that "B" was not published before witnesses; after "B" was written, his daughter Hannah married, and he wished to make changes, which his son William transcribed. This transcription was "C" with which the testator was not satisfied, and a few days before he died he received news of the death of his brother, William of Bristol, England, and that his brother's estate had fallen to him. He planned to make a new will as soon as he got an account but if any accident happened to him, he had a will by him, and Ann Temple, his widow, believed that "A" was that will.
William Temple declared that he knew nothing of "A"; however, Elizabeth Jones, a witness, swore to "A" and it was received as the testator's will.
The land which Col. Temple had patented in Spotsylvania Co. was devised to his sons, Joseph Temple and Benjamin Temple.

Records from the journal of Dr. Samuel B. Dickson show that Dr.Sam was at James Castellow's home on several occasions in 1851in what appears to be the delivery of a baby and treating both James and Sarah for some type of fever using quinine. Later, in February 1852, Dr. Sam was back to treat William for several days and then Thomas for several days in July.
On February 3, 1852, it appears twins were born to James and Sarah Ann. They must not have survived since census records do not show any children in the household born during this time frame. In March 1853, Dr. Sam was back for five visits to an unnamed child. Total fee was $7.50. | CASTELLAW, James Bryant (I11116)

He was a colonist and community leader in the Virginia Colony who helped settle the area of South Hampton Roads known in today as the city of Virginia Beach, Virginia.
Thoroughgood was from a prominent family in King's Lynn, Norfolk, England. At the age of 18, he became an indentured servant to pay for passage to the Virginia Colony, a project of the Virginia Company of London at the time. Around 1622, he settled in an area south of the Chesapeake Bay and a few miles inland from the Atlantic Ocean.
Serving his period of indenture, he returned to England, to return to Virginia with a wife and 105 men. Granted a large landholding, he became a leading citizen of the area. He was elected to the House of Burgesses and the Governor's Council, and as a Justice of the Court. He also became a Captain in the local militia and started the first ferry service in Hampton Roads.
