Notes |
- He and Sarah moved to Amelia County.
My first husband was Robert Chappell who can tell you about our 6 children. Shortly after he died, I married William Crawley, a very wealthy merchant and Indian trader, of Petersburg. "Billy" as he was known, and his brother David Crawley came to Virginia from Hertfordshire, England.
Once Billy and his friends tapped a cask of West Indies rum. When the taste went bad, they knocked in the head of the cask to find the well pickled body of a frenchman. Rum being the only preservative available, someone had packed him for shipment to France and the barrells got mixed.
Billy and I were the parents of William, Jr., before his death about 1737.
