Notes from Virginia Colonial Abstracts, vols. 8-9, Essex County Wills and Deeds:
Page 227: Lease and Release, 5 and 7 April 1714, James Samuel, planter, and wife, of Essex County, VA, sell to Paul Micou, chirurgeon [surgeon], of Essex County, 75 acres which is one-half of a tract given by Warwick Gray in his will to Sarah Samuel and William Gray, to be equally divided between them, in St. Ann's Parish, on the Rappahannock River.
Wit: William Daingerfield, Leo Tarent;
Signed: James Samuel, Sarai X Samuel.According to Genealogies of Virginia Families, and Our Gray Line, vol. 13-1, 1974, it is likely that Captain William Gray who died 1673, leaving a will in Rappahannock County, VA [old Lancaster County], was the father of John, Warwick, William, Abner, Mary, daughter married to Toby Ingraham, daughter married to Thomas Ingraham, Margery married to James Bowler [aka Boulware] 1678 Rappahannock/Essex County, VA; and stepfather to Toby Ingram and Thomas Ingram, sons of Maudlin Ingram, his probable second wife. Warwick Gray died in 1699 in Essex County, leaving a will naming William Gray, son of Abner Gray and wife Sarah Bowler. Abner Gray was born 1717 Essex County, VA, married Sarah Bowler, died 1733, and had a son William. Abner Gray was executor and William Gray the witness for the will of Charles Doores/Deeres of St. Ann's Parish, Essex County, VA in 1715-1716. One Abner Gray is listed in the 1704 Virginia Quit Rents, Essex County. The executrix of the will of John Gray who died in Essex County in 1695 was Elizabeth Gibson.
Page 233 Virginia Colonial Abstracts, vols. 8-9, Essex Wills and Deeds, includes the will of Tobias Ingram of St. Ann's Parish, Essex County, VA, written 1713/14 and proved 1714, naming sons Tobias and Thomas, and wife Martha. The Diary of Robert Rose by Fell, 1977, mentions Thomas Ingram of Essex County, who married Martha Gray. Ingram was an indentured servant of Humphrey Booth of Old Rappahannock County, VA, who was freed two months early. Martha was the daughter of William Gray. Thomas and Martha's sons, Tobias and Thomas Ingram, inherited Gray land.Our Gray Line, vol. 13-4, 1974: will of William Gray, Essex County, VA, 1786/1786, mentions wife Ann/Anna, and minor children: William Jr., John, Andrew, Philip, Rosanner, Elizabeth and Martha.
The Diary of Robert Rose, by Fell mentions Abner Gray of Essex County, VA in 1713, and who died there about 1716. His wife was Sarah Bowler / Boulware, and their children included: Abner, William, Elizabeth, Margery and Dinah. [It appears that there is some confusion over Abner Grays.]

Star-Tribune Newspaper Bicentennial Issue Thursday, June 15, 1967
"Long Hunters Were First White Settlers Coming To Pittsylvania County.
"Long before the white man established himself in Pittsylvania, its inhabitants were known to their neighbors to the north and east. To the westward part of Pittsylvania there ran a war trail by which the fierce Iroquois and Mohawks traveled in their maurauding expeditions against the tribes to the south.
The Narhisson, or Monacan, Indians, the inhabitants of Pittsylvania were a powerful tribe but gave more attention to agricultural pursuits than to scalp-taking and so they were constantly menaced and harassed by the Iroquois and the warlike tribes of eastern Virginia. This constant warfare finally depopulated the county of its original inhabitants who moved southward and lost their identity by mingling with the other tribes for protection.
"The first Englishmen to visit the county were the "Long Hunters" or trappers, who found this part of Virginia fairly teeming with furbearing animals, bears, wild turkeys, deer and other wild life.
"The year 1740 marked the entrance of the white man into Pittsylvania for settlement. Settlements were made on Dan River and Otter Creek (now Bannister River)on which the chief villiage of the Narhissons had been located. The southern boundary of the state and county had been fixed in 1728 when Colonel William Byrd of Westover surveyed the Virginia-Carolina line.
Halifax County, containing also Pittsylvania, Henry and Patrick, was formed in 1752 with Peytonsburg as the county seat. This is now a small settlement in the eastern part of Pittsylvania, but during the Colonial wars and the Revolution it was an important supply center and military prison. From here the wagon trains supplied General Nathaniel Greene's army with food and munitions during the southern campaigns of 1780. Horseshoes were made for the Continential Armies in the blacksmith shops at Peytonsburg and a canteen factory there produced 500 canteens per day.
The real history of Pittsylvania begins June 1, 1767, with the formation of a new county of the Old Dominion, Pittsylvania, so called in honor of the great English friend of the American colonists, William Pitt, Earl of Chatham. Pittsylvania also contained Henry and Patrick Counties, but in 1777 was cut to its present size. What is now the tiny village of Callands was selected as the county seat and named Chatham in honor of the Earl of Chatham. But the popularity of a young English merchant of the place, Samuel Callands, overshadowed the distant greatness of the Earl and the first town of Chatham lost its identity in becoming Callands. This village was the center of county activity during the stirring days of the Revolution...
"The part played by Pittsylvania in the Revolution was no small one. Callands was the gathering point for troops, an arsenal being located there for supplying equipment. Down the Franklin Turnpike from Callands marched the "Pittsylvania Riflemen," a volunteer company commanded by Captain Thomas Hutcherings, to compose part of the brigarde of General Daniel Morgan in the Continental Army, and it is probably that they assisted in the seige of Boston. The military census of 1775 shows that the Pittsylvania Militia numbered 1436 men capable of bearing arms. Pittsylvania sent her sons to many battlefields, serving with Washingotn, with Greene in the Carolinas at Eutaw Springs and Guilford Courthouse where they acquitted themselves creditably; and in quelling Indian outbreaks. In addition to her men, Pittsylvania was also an important source of supplies of all kinds for use by armies.
"Desiring a more central location for the county seat, on January 1, 1777 the county government was moved from Callands to a place on Cherrystone Creek (the present site of Chatham). But Callands still holds much of interest and veneration for the native Pittsylvanian. While the courthouse at Callands was never completed and a private home was used for the colonial trials, county records show that contract was given, and ruins of the stone foundations are still to be seen. The old oak around which the Pittsylvanias stacked their muskets after the disbanding to the Continenial Army is still standing in the village.
Due to a controversy over the location of the courthouse, the new county seat received the name "Competition" which later became Chatham after the first county seat. The courthouse was loated in a ravine, but in a few years was removed to its present site and the present building erected. Chatham was a center for travel and a stopping place for wagon trains. The "Hickey Road" running from Chatham, westward to Henry, is still used and was cut through the wildness by James Hickey for his wagons to reach his store in what is now Henry County. Dix's Ferry over Dan River a few miles below Danville served as a means of communication with the South. The old Beaver Tavern about 15 miles south of Chatham was a favorite resort for travelers and a muster place for county militia.
"The first half of the nineteenth century was a period of growth and development for the county. Pittsylvania had no public school system but scattered throughout the county were private academies in which the young people received their early trainning. An example of this type of school was the academy of Mr.Godfrey at the village of Whitmell. At this period Pittsylvania had been reduced to the present size of 1015 square miles and several important towns were growing up within her borders. Danville having been incorporated in 1792.
"On April 17, 1861, when Virginia passed the Ordinance of Seccession, Pittsylvania men rallied to the cause of their State and marched from Chatham to serve under the flag of the Confederacy. The "Chatham Grays", Company 1, was one of the first to march and went into camp at Williamsburg where measles played havoc in the ranks. Danville also sent many men. There were also many county men scattered in different other organizations. Ten Pittsylvania Companies distinguished themselves in the memorial charage of Pickett's Division up Cemetery Ridge at Gettysburg and suffered severe losses. At Chatham a Confederate memorial stands on the Court Green in honor of the 53rd Virginia Regiment and its Pittsylvania members.
"Located in Danville is the Sutherlin Mansion, now Danville's Public Library. "The Last Capitol of the Confederacy" which Jefferson used as headquarters following the evacuation of Richmnond before the surrender of Lee at Appomattox. It is now kept as a memorial to the Lost Cause The public school system of Pittsylvania was not founded until 1870, but since that time it has made rapid progress.
"Within the past few years Pittsylvania has made rapid progress in industry, education and agricultural interests, the majority of Pittsylvania farmers being property holders. Danville, Chatham, Greta and Hurt, her three towns, each holds an important place in the life of their adjacent rural sections. While tobacco is still the chief money crop, corn, wheat, and other grains and livestock are increasingly inportant as income sources. Industrial development has also openned up new avenues of income, which has contributed to the progress of the county."

A Chronology of Slavery:
1619: The arrival of Africans to Jamestown began with a Dutch slave trader who exchanged his cargo of Africans for food in 1619. The Africans became indentured servants, similar in legal position to many poor Englishmen who traded several years labor in exchange for passage to America. The popular conception of a racial-based slave system did not develop until the 1680s. [A Brief History of Jamestown, The Association for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities, Richmond, VA 23220, Web published February, 2000].
Jamestown had exported 10 tons of tobacco to Europe and was a boomtown. The export business was going so well the colonists were able to afford two imports which would greatly contribute to their productivity and quality of life, 20 Blacks from Africa and 90 women from England. The Africans were paid for in food; each woman cost 120 pounds of tobacco. The Blacks were bought as indentured servants from a passing Dutch ship low on food, and the women were supplied by a private English company. Those who married the women had to pay their passage--120 pounds of tobacco. [Gene Barios, Tobacco BBS: tobacco news].
With the success of tobacco planting, African Slavery was legalized in Virginia and Maryland, becoming the foundation of the Southern agrarian economy. [The Concise Columbia Encyclopedia, 1995 by Columbia University Press from MS Bookshelf.] Although the number of African American slaves grew slowly at first, by the 1680s they were essential to the economy of Virginia. During the 17th and 18th centuries, African American slaves lived in all of England's North American colonies. Before Great Britain prohibited its subjects from participating in the slave trade, between 600,000 and 650,000 Africans had been forcibly transported to North America. [Immigration, Microsoft Encarta 98 Encyclopedia. Microsoft Corporation.]
Tobacco was considered powerful medicine by native Americans. Cigarettes of today have been adulterated to enhance their addictive properties. Though ritual varied, smoking [by native Americans] was chiefly a social ritual after the evening meal, in the sweathouse, before going to sleep. [Early Uses of Indian Tobacco in California, California Natural History Guides: 10, Early Uses Of California Plants, By Edward K. Balls, University Of California Press, Copyright 1962 by the Regents of the University of California.]
1619: In fact, the first twenty "Negar" slaves had arrived from the West Indies in a Dutch vessel and were sold to the governor and a merchant in Jamestown in late August of 1619, as reported by John Rolfe to John Smith back in London. [Robinson, Donald L. Slavery and the Structure of American Politics, 1765 - 1820. NY: Harcourt, Brace Jovanovich, 1971].
1625: Ten slaves were listed in the first census of Jamestown. The first public slave auction of 23 individuals was held in Jamestown square itself in 1638.
1638: The price tag for an African male was around $27, while the salary of a European laborer was about seventy cents per day. [Willie F. Page. The Dutch Triangle: The Netherlands and the Atlantic Slave Trade, 1621-1664.]
1640: Whipping and branding, borrowed from Roman practice via the Iberian-American colonies, appeared early and with vicious audacity. One Virginian slave, named Emanuel, was convicted of trying to escape in July, 1640, and was condemned to thirty stripes, with the letter "R" for "runaway" branded on his cheek and "work in a shackle one year or more as his master shall see cause." Charles P.M. Outwin, Securing the Leg Irons: Restriction of Legal Rights for Slaves in Virginia and Maryland, 1625 - 1791, footnote taken from Catterall, Helen Honor Tunnicliff.
1642: Virginia colony enacts law to fine those who harbor or assist runaway slaves. (Underground Railroad Chronology, National Park Service). The Virginia law, penalized people sheltering runaways 20 pounds worth of tobacco for each night of refuge granted. Slaves were branded after a second escape attempt.

1649: Black laborers in the Virginia colony still number only 300. [The People's Chronology 1995, 1996 by James Trager from MS Bookshelf]
1650: For centuries the issue of equal rights presented a major challenge to the state. Virginia was the primary site for the development of black slavery in the Americas. By the 1650s some indentured servants had earned their freedom. Because replacements, whether black or white, were in limited supply and more costly, the Virginia plantation owners considered the advantages of the "perpetual servitude" policy exercised by Caribbean landowners. Following the lead of Massachusetts and Connecticut, Virginia legalized slavery in 1661. In 1672 the king of England chartered the Royal African Company to bring shiploads of slaves into trading centers like Jamestown, Hampton, and Yorktown. [Compton's Encyclopedia Online. [HYPERLINK http://www.comptons.com/encyclopedia/]
1660: Slavery spread quickly in the American colonies. At first the legal status of Africans in America was poorly defined, and some, like European indentured servants, managed to become free after several years of service. From the 1660s, the colonies began enacting laws that defined and regulated slave relations. Central to these laws was the provision that black slaves, and the children of slave women, would serve for life. This premise, combined with the natural population growth among the slaves, meant that slavery could survive and grow even after slave imports were outlawed in 1808. [Slavery in the United States, Microsoft Encarta 98 Encyclopedia. Microsoft Corporation.]Despite this growth in tobacco production, problems in price-stability and quality existed. In 1660, when the English markets became glutted with tobacco, prices fell so low that the colonists were barely able to survive. In response to this, planters began mixing other organic material, such as leaves and the sweepings from their homes, in with the tobacco, as an attempt to make up by quantity what they lost by low prices. The exporting of this trash tobacco solved the colonists' immediate cash flow problems, but accentuated the problems of overproduction and deterioration of quality. As the reputation of colonial tobacco declined, reducing European demand for it, colonial authorities stepped in to take corrective measures. During the next fifty years they came up with three solutions; they reduced the amount of tobacco produced, regularized the trade by fixing the size of the tobacco hogshead and prohibiting shipments of bulk tobacco, and improved quality by preventing the exportation of trash tobacco. These solutions soon fell through because there was no practical way to enforce the law. It was not until 1730, when the Virginia Inspection Acts were passed, that tobacco trade laws were fully enforced (Middleton, Arthur Pierce. Tobacco Coast. Newport News, Virginia: Mariners' Museum, 1953.. P. 112-116, Finlayson, Ann.
1661: A reference to slavery entered into Virginia law, and this law was directed at white servants -- at those who ran away with a black servant. The following year, the colony went one step further by stating that children born would be bonded or free according to the status of the mother.
1662: A Virginia law assumed Africans would remain servants for life. ." [Slavery in America, Grolier Electronic Publishing, 1995 ] Citing 1662 Virginia statute providing that "[c]hildren got by an Englishman upon a Negro woman shall be bond or free according to the condition of the mother"). Throughout the late 17th and early 18th century, several colonial legislatures adopted similar rules which reversed the usual common law presumptions that the status of the child was determined by the father. These laws facilitated the breeding of slaves through Black women's bodies and allowed for slaveholders to reproduce their own labor force. [See Paula Giddings, When And Where I Enter: The Impact Of Black Women On Race And Sex In America, 1984], noting that a master could save the cost of buying new slaves by impregnating his own slave, or for that matter, having anyone impregnate her.
Slavery in the United States was governed by an extensive body of law developed from the 1660s to the 1860s. Every slave state had its own slave code and body of court decisions. All slave codes made slavery a permanent condition, inherited through the mother, and defined slaves as property, usually in the same terms as those applied to real estate. Slaves, being property, could not own property or be a party to a contract. Since marriage is a form of a contract, no slave marriage had any legal standing.
1663/09/13: First serious recorded slave conspiracy in Colonial America takes place in Virginia. A servant betrayed plot of white servants and Negro slaves in Gloucester County, Virginia. [Major Revolts and Escapes, Lerone Bennett].
1664: Slavery was sanctioned by law in Maryland, slaves to serve for life, and marriage prohibited between white women and Black men. Throughout most of the colonial period, opposition to slavery among white Americans was virtually nonexistent. Settlers in the 17th and early 18th centuries came from sharply stratified societies in which the wealthy savagely exploited members of the lower classes. Lacking a later generation's belief in natural human equality, they saw little reason to question the enslavement of Africans. As they sought to mold a docile labor force, planters resorted to harsh, repressive measures that included liberal use of whipping and branding. [Slavery in the United States, Microsoft Encarta 98 Encyclopedia. Microsoft Corporation.]
The transatlantic slave trade produced one of the largest forced migrations in history. From the early 16th to the mid-19th centuries, between 10 million and 11 million Africans were taken from their homes, herded onto ships where they were sometimes so tightly packed that they could barely move, and sent to a strange new land. Since others died before boarding the ships, Africa's loss of population was even greater. [Slavery in the United States," Microsoft Encarta 98 Encyclopedia. Microsoft Corporation.]Projected Exports Of That Portion Of The French And English Slave Trade Having Identifiable Region Of Coast Origin In Africa, 1711-1810: Senegambia (Senegal-Gambia): Wolof, Mandingo, Malinke, Bambara, Papel, Limba, Bola, Balante, Serer, Fula, Tucolor = 5.8%;
Sierra Leone: Temne, Mende, Kisi, Goree, Kru = 3.4%;
Windward Coast (Ivory Coast) (incl. Liberia): Baoule, Vai, De, Gola (Gullah), Bassa, Grebo = 12.1%; Gold Coast (Ghana): Ewe, Ga, Fante, Ashante, Twi, Brong = 14.4%; Bight Of Benin & Bight Of Biafra Combined: Yoruba, Nupe, Benin, Dahomean (Fon), Edo-Bini, Allada, Efik, Ibibio, Ijaw, Ibani,Igbo(Calabar) = 39.6%; Central & Southeast Africa: BaKongo, MaLimbo, Ndungo, BaMbo, BaLimbe, BaDongo, Luba, Loanga, Ovimbundu, Cabinda, Pembe, Imbangala, Mbundu, BaNdulunda 24.7%.
In the 1700s the coasts of West Africa had three main divisions controlled by Europeans in their effort to monopolize the slave trade. The three divisions were Senegambia, Upper Guinea and Lower Guinea. Senegambia's two navigable rivers, the Senegal and the Gambia, were controlled by the French and the English, respectively. The slave trade from Africa is said to have uprooted as many as 20 million people from their homes and brought them to the Americas. Slavery had existed as a human institution for centuries, but the slaves were usually captives taken in war or members of the lowest class in a society. The black African slave trade, by contrast, was a major economic enterprise. It made the traders rich and brought an abundant labor supply to the islands of the Caribbean and to the American Colonies. [Compton's Encyclopedia Online].
The mortality rate among these new slaves ran very high. It is estimated that some five percent died in Africa on the way to the coast, another thirteen percent in transit to the West Indies, and still another thirty percent during the three-month seasoning period in the West Indies. This meant that about fifty percent of those originally captured in Africa died either in transit or while being prepared for servitude. Even this statistic, harsh as it is, does not tell the whole story of the human cost involved in the slave trade. Most slaves were captured in the course of warfare, and many more Africans were killed in the course of this combat. The total number of deaths ran much higher than those killed en route. Many Africans became casualty statistics, directly or indirectly, because of the slave trade. Beyond this, there was the untold human sorrow and misery borne by the friends and relatives of those Africans who were torn away from home and loved ones and were never seen again.

In its day it was known for its lovely gardens and grounds and was often mentioned in diaries and journals of the time. At one time the tract at Bushfield was 1,300 acres, once Indian territory purchased by John's father, Richard in the mid-17th century and left to his son. John Bushrod served as a Justice and member of the Council.

daughters Elizabeth Meriwether, Apphia Fauntleroy and Hannah;
and wife Hannah.
*Hannah Bushrod Cooper 26 December 1738 / 29 May 1739, mentions:
"my daughter Elizabeth Meriwether to receive a gold ring."Lewis of Warner Hall, page 798:
His will is on file in Westmoreland County, VA, dated 26 January 1719, probated 30 March 1720, and it names his wife Hannah, married daughters Apphia Fauntleroy and Elizabeth Meriwether, and unmarried daughters Hannah and Sarah, and sons John, Richard and Thomas. [Westmoreland County Wills, Fothergill].
His seven children with Hannah Keene are listed:
1. Apphia Bushrod who married the second Col. William Fauntleroy
2. Elizabeth Bushrod who married William Meriwether, son of Nicholas and Elizabeth
3. Hannah Bushrod who married a Neale [some say Heale]
4. Sarah Bushrod who married a Berryman
5. Richard Bushrod
6. Col. John Bushrod
7. Thomas Bushrod who predeceased his mother.When John died 6 February 1720, he willed his daughter Hannah one Negro girl named Criss with all her future increase and 100 pounds sterling and 12,000 pounds of tobo and tenn ewes and one Ram. His son John [1706-1760] inherited "Bushfield" and at his death his daughter Hannah [Bushrod] Washington inherited the lands.

Lewis of Warner Hall, The Warner Ancestry of the Lewis Family:
"Much is known about the life and family of Hannah (Keene) Bushrod, who was first married to John Bushrod. Her father William Keene was the son of Thomas Keene [will dated Nov. 22, 1652] of Northumberland and his wife Mary [will dated Jan. 2, 1692, proved Feb. 10, 1662]. who married secondly Thomas Broughton. Elizabeth, wife of William Keene, was the daugther of John and Mary (Bird) Rogers of Virginia, and married secondly Thomas Banks of Northumberland [Virginia Magazine of History and Biography, vol.1].
After the death of John Bushrod, Hannah (Keene) Bushrod married successively Col. Willoughby Allerton (died 1724) and John Cooper (died 1735). The will of Col. Willoughby Allerton [Wills of Westmoreland County by Fothergill] mentions his son Isaac and daughter Elizabeth, both of whom were probably children of Hannah Keene; and the will of John Cooper mentions a married daughter, but she could hardly have been the child of Hannah Keene during their short married life. Hannah Keene outlived all three of her husbands; her will was dated December 26, 1738 and probated in Westmoreland on May 29, 1739 under the name of Hannah Cooper; it mentions her children including her son-in-law and daughter William and Apphia Fauntleroy."WILL: Westmoreland County, VA Wills 1654-1800:

When I do an Internet search for the following I find this information is contained in The Virginia Magazin of History and Biography, Vol. 38, No. 1 (Jan., 1930), pp.73-86. This is a publication by the Virginia Historical Society. "The enclosed photograph (?) shows a memorial stone placed by me, Nov 1929 in the graveyard surrounding Old Tennent Church to Captain Henry Fauntleroy, 5th VA Continental Line, who was killed in the Battle of Monmouth between this old Church and Monmouth Court House (now called Freehold) NJ. General Washington in a letter to his brother, Col John Augustine, dated Brunswic, NJ 4 Jul 1778 says, "Among our slain officers is Captain Fauntleroy". And in a letter to Governor Patrick Henry, of VA, 4 Jul 1778 says, "Capt Fauntleroy of the 5th was unfortunately killed by a random cannon ball." His four brothers, John, Griffin Murdock, Joseph, and Robert were officers in the VA Continental Line Troops.Captain in Revolution, a very gallant and chivalrous officer, killed in the Battle of Monmouth. Custis' Reminiscences, page 221, speaking of the battle says, "On the part of the Americans, the fate of the young and brave Captain Fauntleroy of the Virginia line, was remarkable. He was on horseback at a well near a farm house waiting his turn while the fainting soldiers, consumed by a thirst arising from their exertions on the hottest day supposed ever to have occured in America, were rushing with frantic cries to the well, imploring for water. The Captain with the point of his sword resting on his boot, his arm leaning on the pommel, continued to wait his turn, when a cannon shot, pounding down the lane that led to the farm house, struck the unfortunate officer near his hip and hurled him to the ground a lifeless corpse. The lamented Fauntleroy was descended from one of the old and highly respected families of Virginia. Leaving the comforts of a home and the delights of a large circle of friends, this gallant young soldier repaired to the standard of his country early in the campaign of 1776. He was greatly respected in his grade and his untimely fate was deeply mourned in the American army."

Marriage Notes for Capt. Moore Fauntleroy and Ann Heale-1903
MARRIAGE: Unsure of date 20 Dec 1731
RESEARCHER: Sherry Kaseberg sent to T.Mason on 7Apr2001. NOTES:
*(1741) became a captain in the militia and continued in the same rank afterward;
*(3 April 1782) Order Book #18, page 202, Richmond County, VA, DAR and SAR eligibility is based on his patriotic service in supplying 1, 550# beef for the Continental army...at a court for Richmond County, a claim of Capt. Moore Fauntleroy for one thousand five hundred and fifty pounds of grass beef impressed by John How, valued at 20 shillings;
*(1750) he was named Justice in Commission of the Peace;
*(1767) he was appointed surveyor of the highway leading to the BeaverDams;
*(1782) Moore Fauntleroy inherited from his father 832 acres in upper Richmond County, and 1,000 + acres near Farnham Church, called "Quintenoak" which his father inherited, in his turn, from his own grandfather, Samuel Griffin. Moore added land to the former tract until it totaled 1,698 acres, called "The Cliffs" on the Rappahannock River near Carter's Wharf where he made his home.
In 1786 Moore purchased Rings Neck it from Robert Carter, of Corotoman, the commander of the Richmond County Militia during the Revolution, who on his trips to supervise the operation of his King and Queen property was frequently accompanied by a young militia officer, Samuel Griffin Fauntleroy, son of his neighbor and friend, Moore Fauntleroy. When Moore saw that his son was determined to live in King and Queen County, he purchased it and bequeathed it to Samuel, who inherited it and more than $40,000, a sum whose payment was not complete until 1821.
In Moore's father's will in 1757, Col. William Fauntleroy wills land from Col. Griffin to Moore's son, George Hale Fauntleroy.

Robert Mitchell
James Kelly
Henry [Sisson]
Recorded amongst the Records of Richmond County
Test.
LeRoy Peachey C.C.
RESEARCHER: Sherry Kaseberg sent to T.Mason on 7Apr2001. NOTES:
Mitchell Family Bible: Elizabeth Fauntleroy, daughter of Robert and Susanna Mitchell, departed this life...;
Robert Mitchell, Jr., married first Mary Chilton Sharp, ca. 1709-10, daughter of John Chilton and widow of John Sharp; Robert Mitchell, Jr., married second Susanna Payne [1688-1761], daughter of William and Susanna [Merriman] Payne, Susanna being the daughter of Richard Merriman.
Will of Robert Mitchell, 1748, named his daughter Elizabeth as the wife of Moore Fauntleroy, and notes that she received only 5 shillings having already received her portion. St. Mary's White Chapel Parish, Lancaster County, VA, dated 12 July 1748, proved 9 September 1748.
The Fithian Journal, 2 August 1774: "Miss Apphia Fauntleroy danced next, the best Dancer of the whole absolutely -- And the finest Girl -- Her head tho' was powdered white and crop'd in the newest taste -- She is the Copy of the godddess of Modesty -- Very handsome, She seemed to be loved by all her acquaintances, and admir'd by every Stranger."
There is supposition he remained unmarried yet Ancestral File and some on Ancestry.com list him as married.
