Author: Pipkin Family Association

The Pipkin Family Association was formed in the 1960s from descendants of John 
Pipkin who died in Chowan County, NC in 1745. The Association researched the 
John Pipkin in Surry County, VA in an attempt to see if the two were the same 
men.

John Pipkins in Surry County Virginia in 1682

Mrs. John B. Amadio is an active member of our association and she recently did 
some research in Surry County, VA records which provided some exciting 
information on a John Pipkin.

Surry County was formed in 1652. It is located about 20 miles up the James River 
from Nansemond County which was formed in 1634. The Isle of Wight County is 
located between the two. The original Surry County Court Records have been 
transcribed and printed by Weynette Parks Haun.

Book III of Surry County Virginia Court Records, (Part I: Order Book 1671-1691) 
covers the period of 1672-1682. On 7 January 1682 the court record recorded on 
page 391 reads as printed by Mrs. Haun, "Mr. Thomas Rumball haveing brought his 
accon to this Cort agt. Robt. Burgess for fowerteene hundred pds. of tobo & 
Caske being for a Horse bridle and sadle delivered the Defendts. Man upon the 
defts. note of Credit to the plt. which note the plt. haveing produced in Cort 
and also proved by the oath of Jno. PIPKINS that the deft. hath the sadle and 
the plt. makeing oath in Cort that he agreed for the aforesaid sume of fowerteen 
hundred pds. of tobo 7 Casks"...

Eliza Timberlake Davis has also transcribed Surry County Records. Her book is 
"Surry County Records - Surry County Virginia 1652-1684" and indexed the book. 
The index shows PIPKEN, John, 61 and PITKIN, John page 76. Page 61 shows that on 
page 298 of the original Book I of the records that on "5 January 1665, John 
PINKEN, Planter makes John Salway his atty. Wits. John Hobourne, John Bidford." 
Page 76 of the same book provides data from page 309 of the original record and 
reads, "31 Aug 1668. John Barber makes Mr. Richard Lawrence his atty. in a debt 
Thomas Pitman. Wit. Peleg Dunstan, Thomas Gully, John PITKIN."

This is exciting information and probably brings our John PIPKIN, or his father? 
to Surry Co, VA at least 22 years prior to the 1704 Quit Rents of Nansemond Co, 
VA. [A John PIPKIN appeared in the 1704 Quit Rents]
