Information on Nicholas Faulconer

Nicholas Faulconer was a son of David and Judith Faulconer of Old Rappahannock County, Virginia, which became Essex County. His first wife, by whom he had a son David, was a daughter of Henry Newton of Essex County. The maiden name of his second wife Sibylla has not been determined.

Nicholas Faulconer is identified as the son of David Faulconer in an Essex County deed dated 09 February 1693, in which Nicholas Faulconer (Faulkner) of Essex County, Virginia, conveyed to Thomas Winslow for 1900 pounds of tobacco, plus 5 shillings, the 50-acre plantation on which his late father David Faulconer (Faulkner) of Old Rappahannock County had lived and which, at the time of the deed, was occupied by Judith, the widow of David Faulconer, and her new husband Roger Perry.
