Notes - Richard lived on the Black Water portion of Bedford Co., VA, (later
Franklin Co., VA).
He was a soldier in the American Army during the war of the
Revolution. He and his elder sons were great Indian scouts and
fiighters and were splendid specimens of great physical strength and
courage. He and his sons were directed to go to NC because of the
approach of the British Army. The many descendants of Rilchard and
Mary have made a great contribution to the growth and welfare of
Mercer Co., VA, many being prominent in civic, government,
educational, religious and other areas of public service to the
county. Richard owned many thousand acres of VA land.
