Thomas Melton is alive between 1684 and June of 1690.

Thomas Melton swears a complaint against Colonel Edward Hill in 1676 in the Charles Citte Court Grievances. Could this be the same Colonel Edward Hill who in 1638 imported his father into the New World from England? Remember, William was used for Colonel Hill's head right to declare land for himself.

Generation No. 15

17. WILLIAM¹⁵ MELTON II (WILLIAM¹⁴, RICHARD¹³, THOMAS¹², WILLIAM¹¹, RICHARD¹⁰, THOMAS/RICHARD⁹, JOHN⁸, JOHN⁷, THOMAS⁶, RECARDUS⁵ DE MELTON, NICHOLAS⁴, NICHOLAS OF³ MELTON, ADAM² MELTONE, SIWATE¹ DE MELTONA) was born 1647 in New Kent, Virginia, and died 1720 in New Kent, Virginia. He married MARY. She was born 1651 in Virginia.

Notes for WILLIAM MELTON II:

William, age 30, has given testimony in 1677 at Charles Citte, in a court suit, his deposition is taken by Colonel Edward Hill and the statement is witnessed by Peter Field. Clerk

The case is Platt against Goffe, in which Goffe is supposedly a servant of Wilkinsons'. William testifies that Richard Goffe said he was Willinson's servant while he was at Mr. Richard Platt. Witnesses were William Farr and Janathan Farrar. Apparently this is an argument over whether he is an indentured servant, a slave, or a free man. John Pleasant, age about 30, says he had a servant of Mr. Jas. Biss named Richard Goffe, who had no indenture.

It is interesting to find that Colonel Edward Hill is still involved with the Melton family because is was just one year earlier that William's son Thomas filed a grievance against Colonel Edward Hill. What is even more particular is that Peter Field the clerk in this case is the same Peter Field that Thomas Melton had court dealings with between 1684-1687.
