Stubbleson – Stubble Stubbleson was born in the Netherlands. He settled in Old Rappahannock County, Virginia, probably in the 1660’s, as he is first mentioned in 1665. He was married, although nothing is known of his wife, and he was the father of one surviving daughter, Ann Stubbleson, when he died by February 1668/69.

After his death, his parcel of land is described as “land formerly belonging to Stubble Stubbleston alien deceased” and granted to Theophilus Wheele by the governor. Theophilus appointed an attorney to represent him and wife Elizabeth to support his claim to the land.

In 1669, an inquisition was held and determined that Stubble was an alien (non-citizen), that when he died, he owned about 100 acres of land in Old Rappahannock County and that, upon his death, his land was escheated (returned) to the state.  Below is from a deed, John Farguson married Stubble Stubbleson only child Ann Stubblson, the deed includes the following:

 . . . I, the said John Fargisson as marrying Ann, the only surviving daughter and heir of Stubble Stubbleson, deceased, do hereby . . . make over unto . . . William Jewill . . . with . . . the voluntary consent of the said Ann, my now wife . . . a certain piece of land . . . formerly sold by one Thomas Rawson unto the said Stubble Stubbleson . . .
