Essex DB 29:269 contains a mortgage deed from John Upshaw et al. to Vincent Vass (17 Apr 1764).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On 22 Jul 1751, VINCENT VASS appears in the vestry book of St ratton Major parish K&Q. The record reads: "Order'd that Rober t Garrett John Leigh & VINCENT VASS or any two of them do meet on the Second Fr yday in December next and go in Processon of & see all and ever y Persons Land between Tarsatyan and great Heartquake swamps..."
On 30 Sep 1751, VINCENT VASS appears in the vestry book of St ratton Major parish K&Q when he was paid 400 lbs of tobacco fo r being the reader of the Upper Church.
On 17 Nov 1752, VINCENT VASS appears in the vestry book of St ratton Major parish K&Q when he was paid 1200 lbs of tobacco fo r being the reader of the Upper Church.
On 7 Jul 1753, VINCENT VASS of Stratton Major parish K&Q exec uted a deed of mortage to JOHN VASS of South Farnham parish, Ess ex County. The property involved was a 250 acres tract in South Farnham par ish. The deed of mortgage was signed by JOHN VASS Jr. and HENR Y VASS. The land was described as adjacent to and bounded by the land of Cap t. William Beale, Mr. Rich. Adams and Mr. John Boughton.
On 5 Oct 1753, VINCENT VASS appears in the vestry book of Str atton Major parish K&Q when he was paid 716 lbs of tobacco for b eing the reader of the Upper Church. This same vestry record notes that Griffit h Elrington was paid 484 lbs of tobacco for "Officiating as Cl k in the absence of VINCENT VASS from the 15th April till the 9th Day of 7ber 22 Sun days." Clk refers to "clerk" a term sometimes applied to a recto r in the early days. 7ber is short for September. From this, it appears that VASS wa s absent from the Upper Church of Stratton Major parish from 1 5 April to 9 Sep 1753. It may be of interest to note that the will of JOHN VASS of Essex w as dated 13 Jan 1753 and proved 15 Sep 1755.
On 7 Oct 1754, VINCENT VASS appears in the vestry book of Str atton Major parish K&Q when he was paid 100 lbs of tobacco as th e reader of the Upper Church.
On 26 Sep 1755, VINCENT VASS appears in the vestry book of St ratton Major parish K&Q when he was paid 850 lbs of tobacco as t he "late" reader of the Upper Church for 8 1/2 months. This suggests he left th e church (or perhaps died) in about June of 1755.
On 17 Feb 1759, VINCENT VASS and WINNIFRED his wife of Esse x County, conveyed 240 acres of land to HENRY VASS of Essex. From the M&B description,it is clear this is the same tract lying in Sout h Farnham parish which Vass bought from JOHN VASS and wife Rache l in March 1750/51. The Essex deeds show that this same 240 acre tract wa s sold on 20 Jan 1787 by HENRY VASS and wife Catherine of Chris t Church parish, Middlesex County, to John Beale of South Farnham parish, Essex C ounty.
On 21 Jul 1764, VINCENT VASS of K&Q and William Lyne of same executed an indenture deed to Archibald Ritchie of Essex fo r a 245 acre plantation, including slaves, household goods, etc. which were p urchased at auction from the estate of Nicholas Pamplin of K&Q.
