| Although I am not a descendant of Francis Epes, some of his descendants married into my family.
Consequently, I have devoted Allied Family Topic EP to his family. |
Francis Epes, in his own words |
| If he could speak to us today, Francis Epes might describe his life as follows. |
 |
I was born in Prince George County, the son of William Epes and his wife, Elizabeth. Father was made sheriff of Prince George 27 April 1710,  but died 16 November 1710. |
|
My plantation was “Causons” in Prince George where I was sheriff in 1723. My wife was Sarah Hamlin, a daughter of Richard Hamlin and Ann Harnison, and the widow of William Hatt who left a will in Prince George County in 1720. Since few records of Prince George remain, I can tell you little of my life. |
|
Sarah and I were the parents of nine children and my widow was still alive in June 1773 when our daughter Martha Edwards prepared her will. |

|
Epes secured a patent to 375 acres on Cellar Fork of Deep Creek in Amelia County 28 Jan. 1733/4. In Dec. 1740 Francis patented a neighboring 400 acres on Cellar Fork and, with his brother Isham Epes, got 694 acres on Gravelly Run in Prince George County. |
