John Pride Jr. (c.1720\emdash 1753) [1658.1]
John Pride Jr., the son of John Pride Sr. and Susanna, was born in 1720. He inherited 314 acres on Timsbury Swamp in Henrico County that had belonged to his grandfather William Pride and he was living in Amelia County in April 1746 when he sold it to John Vest for £40. For some reason John Pride's first cousin John Hill had made a bond the year before promising to convey the land to Vest. The consideration was £80 and the court did not order the bond recorded until 1749. Presumably Hill had some nature of claim against the land.
In March 1733 William Pride gave John Pride Jr., who we believe was this John Pride, two tracts on Swift Creek: 110 acres of the Clay patent and the 110-acre Richard Walthall purchase of 1724. Henrico County taxed John Pride Jr. on two levies and 210 acres in 1736 and 2 levys in 1737.
Like his father, John got a substantial amount of land through purchase and patent. In 1740 John Pride Jr. obtained a patent for 399 acres on a branch of Deep Creek in Henrico County. On 17 April 1746, he purchased 400 acres in Amelia County from Samuel Cobbs for £180. This land was next to Field Jefferson and ran along Knibbs Creek and Beech Tree Branch.
John married Frances. We do not know Frances's last name though she may have been a Rowlett as that is what they named a son. She was possibly the daughter of William Rowlett. Absent his will, we cannot identify all the children of William Rowlett. It is quite possible that Mary (Clarke) Cooke was his second wife and that William left children by his first. John Pride had a wife named Frances and named a son Rowlett. Possibly his wife, who we presume was Frances Rowlett, was a daughter of this William Rowlett and the granddaughter of Frances Worsham.
John and Frances settled in Amelia County where his father was already living by 1749 when John Pride of Amelia County sold Francis Walthall land in Chesterfield County. Frances relinquished her dower right in the land. Pride sold a tract of 63½ acres to John Russell of Chesterfield County in 1754.
On 5 August 1751, John patented 175 acres on the north side of Dry Creek that ran into Swift Creek. In 1756 John Pride Jr. bought 200 acres on the north side of Flat Creek from Richard Booker, Francis Anderson Sr., and Edmund Booker Jr. John's son Rowlett would later marry Elizabeth, the daughter of Francis Anderson Sr., and John's daughter Mary would marry Booker's son Edmund.
John Pride of Amelia County held 322 acres on the south side of Great Swamp in Chesterfield County that he sold to William Akin in 1760 for £60.
John was living in York County when, on 29 December 1760, Edmund Booker and Edith, his wife, sold 150 acres in Amelia County to John Pride Jr. of the "Town & County of York (Va.)" for £75. John was still in York County in 1762 when he bought 50 adjacent acres with a mill from John SPENCER for £50. We do not know why he had moved to York County. Edith Booker of the 1760-deed was Edith Cobbs, daughter of Samuel Cobbs who came from York County to Amelia County but we do not know of any relationship among the families. Both Cobbs and John Pride's sons were Amelia County clerks.
John, Frances, and their children lived at Pridesville, near the site of the first Amelia County court house.
John died in Amelia County (will dated 5 April 1773 ). His wife was still living and he mentioned her in his will. The children listed below were beneficiaries. Each child inherited two or three "Negro" slaves. Additionally, Rowlett inherited the home plantation after his mother's death. The two younger daughters, Mary and Martha, could live there until they married.
In 1782 Amelia County listed Frances Pride head of a household of six whites and twelve blacks. By 1785 two were in her family. Like her son, Frances contributed supplies to the Revolution.
