Notes for John QUARLES
John is named as the son of Richard Quarles, emigrant to Virginia by several secondary sources (1) (3). However, since Richard died after 1640 and John died between 1734 and 1739 the dates are difficult to reconcile as father and son. In 1729 he was elected as a vestry man - this was within 10 years of his death. It is unlikely that he died in his eighties or nineties since a feeble old man would not have been elected as a vestry man. It may be more likely that John was a grandson of Richard and not a son.
John bought land in King William county in 1702 (1)(3) and settled in Pamunkey neck (1)(3) . His land bounded that of Captain Roger Mallory (3). He married Jane Mallory daughter of Captain Thomas Mallory (1) or Captain Roger Mallory (3). In 1702 in King William County he witnessed the recording of a deed of Col John West Sr to Col John West Jr (2-XXXI-344). In 1704 he held 100 acres in King William County (2-XXXII-73) (4). In 1714 he was named to a commission for the peace in King William county (3). In 1719 he received a grant of 400 acres of land (3). In 1729 he was elected as a vestryman to St John's Parish and in that document named as Captain John Quarles (3). He died between 1734 and 1739 (3). In Prince William County 26 June 1749, Moses Quarles, discharged Thomas Harrison from all claims on the estate of John Quarles, dec, since said Harrison had received his share of the estate of 5 pounds, 18 shillings (5).
