SAMUEL RUST--102 born Westmoreland county, Virginia, was doubtless a of age when, on June 27, 1695, he was summoned for duty as a grand juror. His will, August 16, 1715, was proven March 26, 1718. He married Martha----, whose will, November 3, 1726, was proven February 25, 1729-30.
1695 "102--Samuel Rust was a grand juror in 1695, and agin in 1703, 1707, and 1711...It was in 1699, that the following was issued "there are no meetings of any other Reiligion than the Church of England in this county, nor any Schooles or persons fitt to recomend for schollmasters within the same."
"The vestry of Yeocomico, Parish of Cople, Westmoreland County, Virginia, was established August 22, 1655, and a place of worship fixed to be succeeded by the building known as Yeocomico church, built in 1706, wherein for three quarters of a century loyal subjects of his Britannic Majesty were required to assemble each Sabbath for Divine Services under penalty of the forfeiture of a goodly quantity of tobacco.
Among the worshipers of that early period were many whose names figure prominently in the affairs of the Colony of Virginia, including: Samuel RUST, Colonel George ESKRIDGE, William PAYNE or PAINE, William WIGGINGTON, Samuel BONUM, Richard LEE, Daniel MCCARTY, Presley COX, Daniel TEBBS,Dr. James STEPTOE, Rev. David CURRIE, Gawin CORBIN, George LEE Robert CARTER, Henry LEE, John BUSHROD, Rev. Thomas SMITH, Henry FITZHUGH, John CRITCHER, Fleet COX, Judge Robert MAYO, and many others. (1785 JOHN CRABB, d. 1799, listed as vestryman as well as Samuel Rust, d. 1798, probably his father-in-law. VA-010)
102--Samuel Rust became an extensive land holder, owning at the time of his death some 1700 acres. One of his early purchases was a tract in Yeocomico Neck from Thomas Sanders described as lying between lands lately belonging to Nicholas JONES and Robert JADWIN, deceased, for 1400 lbs. of tobacco, the lands having belonged to the grantor's father, Thomas SANDERS. He bought 200 acres from George LAMKIN and from Henry ROSS, gent., who died about 1700. He and John CLEMENTS purchased a tract of land from Mrs. Eunice THISTLEWHEAT, of St. Sepulchres, London, sister and administratrix of Henry ROSS, gent, chich land on the death of John CLEMENTS was divided between...heirs and SAMUEL RUST.
Except in the Northern Neck of Virginia, where quit rents were paid to the proprietors, every holder of land was required to fully report his holdings for the quit rent roll. The roll for the year of 1704 has survived and been published, and for the State, other than the Northern Neck, it shows only 184 persons, who owned as much as 1700 acres each in the twenty counties outside the Norther Neck.
Samuel Rust appears in court records in the following, among others:
1699 He was security for GARDINER, probably a cost bond in a suit of John GARDINER, jr. v. Gawin CORBIN, gent. (1699)
1701 Samuel Rust and samuel Demourvell, in 1701, became sureties for Jane Clements, widow of John Clements, to whom letters of administration were issued.
1704 Samuel Rust with two others were named, in 1704, to settle accounts and differences...and in the same matter George ESKRIDGE, John GARNER and Samuel RUST were named to settle such differences in 1710.
1704 Samuel RUST, George ESKRIDGE, and Robert BENNETT were by order of court, 1704, directed to meet at the house of the said ESKRIDGE and audit, stat, and settle all matters and accounts relating to the estate of Thomas ALLISON, deceased.
1706 Samuel Rust, Vincent COX, and three others, in September, 1706, were named appraisers of the estate of John MIDDLETON.
1709 1709 appointed "Surveyour of the Roads in this County to & from his Mill and It is ordered he cause the Same to be clear'd and repaired according to Law" p. 20.
Samuel Rust was named as appraiser of the estates of the following: James LANE (1699), John WILLIAMS 1702), Simon ROBBINS (1703), James ORCHARD (1703), John MIDDLETON (1706), John GARRARD (????) and Henry DUNKEN (1710 OR 1711), John HEADLY (1712), William GARLAND ), John GARNER (SEE SUKEY CRABB GARNER), Vincent COX ), James MOORE, John HENMORE, George HARRISON, Ann HEADLY (all 1713), and Katherine BONAM (1715).
1713 The will of Vincent COX (1713) contained a provision that if his wife dies his daughter WINIFRED is to be left to the tuition (guardianship) of Samuel RUST, and in case of Rust's death, to that of George ESKRIDGE. By the year of Samuels Rust's death (1718), Winifred had married his son, 207--Matthew. (THIS VINCENT COX WAS THE SON OF VINCENT COX THAT DIED 1698...AND, IT WOULD BE THIS SAME VINCENT MENTIONED THROUGHOUT AFTER 1698. HE WAS THE BROTHER OF OUR CHARNOCK COX.)
1714 The court, in 1714, considered the erection of public warehouses in the county in conformity with a recent act, wherupon, it is noted:
"Roger Wiggington appeard & refused to undertake the buildings to be on Yeocomocoe. Whereupon It is ordered by the Court that Samuel RUST and Samuel DEMOURVEL Doe upon oath Value one acre of Land at the place on Yeocomocoe aforemenconed, &c: Upon Which George ESKRIDEGE gentl: came into Court & undertook the buildings appointed to be thereon.
