    Notes:

    Name:
    Gabriel, son of William Jolliffe, Jr., grandson of Sr., was probably named after Gabriel Jones.

    The background on Gabriel Jones is:
    Orange County was formed in 1734 from Spottsylvania, and hither William Jolliffe (Sr) drifted with his family. In 1738 Frederick County was formed, but it was not until October 1743, that Governor Gooch issued an order for the formation of a court upon the petitions of the leading men. At the opening of this court William Jolliffe was among the very first to enroll himself as a lawyer. "On Nov. 11, 1743, the gentlemen named having been notified of their appointment met for the purpose of organizing a court. At this court appeared James Porteus, John Stecrman, George Johnston, and John Newport, who desired the privilege of being booked as attorneys, and who upon taking the oath as such were granted the use of the courthouse. On Friday, Jan. 13, at a meeting of the court, five more lawyers placed themselves on the roll of attorneys for Frederick County, they being William. Russell, John Quinn, GABRIEL JONES, William Jolliffe (Sr) and Michael Ryan." To a deed given by James Wood, conveying the land on which Winchester was founded, we find his name as one of the throe witnesses signed thereto.

    Just where he (William Jolliffe, Sr.) first established his home I am unable to say, but the records of the county show that shortly after this date he was possessed of five hundred acres of land adjoining the lands of Alexander Ross, north of the present town of Winchester. He was from this time until his death in active practice in the courts of Frederick and adjoining counties, his name often appearing in the records. In September, 1752, he brought an action against his brother lawyer, the celebrated but eccentric GABRIEL JONES. "Sep. 20, 1743, John Frost deeds to John Millburn a portion of a tract of land patented by Alex. Ross and John Littler Nov. 12, 1735; the witnesses to this were Alex. Ross, Thomas Wilson, John Littler and William Jolliffe." "May 10, 1744. William Jolliffe was witness to a deed from Isaac Pennington to Thomas Colson." "Nov. 16, 1759, as assignee of Geo. Ross he recovered a debt and interest from Feb. 1748-9."
