• Notes

  William and his brother Thomas probably did not move to Stafford Co. Va until after the 1701 death of their father. They were both in the Surry Co. Militia in the company of Captain Joseph Sumner in 1701. They were in Stafford Co. by 1723 when William was registered in Overwharton Parish taxables as paying 96 lbs. of tobacco for 400 acres. When William, the older died ca 1739/39 he left land to son William and daughter Mary Peters. He also left land for the care of Margaret, widow of brother Thomas and their daughter, Margaret. A Margaret Whitson died in 1745, possibly the widow of Thomas. Sources Will book M, p 262, Stafford Co. Va 1739.
