About John Wayles
Attorney, slave trader, business agent for the Bristol-based tobacco exporting firm of Tarell & Jones, wealthy plantation owners in Charles City County, Virginia.

Her father was born in Lancaster, England and emigrated alone to Virginia in 1734, at the age of nineteen, leaving family in England. He became a lawyer. Martha's mother was a daughter of Francis Eppes of Bermuda Hundred and was a widow when Wayles married her.

John and Martha's marriage contract provided that Susanna and Betty were to remain the property of Martha Eppes and her heirs forever or be returned to the Eppes family should there be no heirs. This is how the Hemings' came into the custody of Martha Wayles. Martha's mother died when Martha was three weeks old.

John married Mary Cocke. Mary was born Est 1730, Malvern Hills, Henrico Co., Virginia Colony; died Bef 1760. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Name:
Mary Cocke of 'Malvern Hills' married John Wayles. Her parents are unknown in 2014. Several Mary's in the lines of William Cocke are married to Obiadiah Smith, and another to Richard Eppes. Two other daughters are attributed to Mary Cocke and John Wayles; Tabitha and Ann. The second child, Elizabeth, was born 24 February 1752; Tabitha was born 16 November 1753; and Anne was born 26 August 1756. Jefferson notes that Wayles' second wife died, but not the date; obviously sometime between August 1756 and 26 January 1760, when Wayles married his third wife, Elizabeth Skelton
