of "Arlington," Northampton. John appears to have taken the lead. He was an active, enterprising man, engaged in making salt on one of the islands; foremost in all civil and ecclesiastical matters; was, in 1676, during Bacon's Rebellion, appointed Major-General; a true royalist; a law-and-order man; a favourite of Lord Arlington in the time of Charles II., after whom he called his estate Arlington, on the Eastern Shore, which he received by his first wife. His second wife was daughter of Colonel Edmund Scarborough. He died at an advanced age, after having been full of labours through life.

John Custis Encyclopedia of Virginia Biography, Volume I III--Colonial Councillors of State: "A son of John and Jeane Custis, of Accomac, Va., and formerly of Rotterdam, Holland, was born in 1630. He was sheriff of Accomac in 1664, and in 1676 he was appointed major-general of Virginia militia. and played an active part in the support of Gov. Berkeley during Bacon's rebellion. The commissioners, sent from England to suppress the rebellion, spoke in terms of the highest commendation of him. He was a member of the house of burgesses in 1677, but appears to have been immediately afterwards appointed to the council, as he was present at meetings of that body from 1677 to 1683. At this later date his health became very bad and he was unable to attend for sometime. His illness, indeed, was so serious and long continued that in England he was reported dead and his name left out of the commission to the councillors of 1685. He therefore prepared a petition setting forth his various services to the colony and praying to be restored to the council, which was forthwith done. He continued active up to 1690, but, his health again failing, he prepared, two years later, another petition asking to be relieved of all his public offices. This was also granted and the few remaining years of his life he spent in retirement at "Arlington," his house in the present Northampton county. He died on the 9th of Jan., 1696, according to the inscription on his tomb at "Arlington."
