    Notes 
    • In OUR COLONIAL ANCESTORS, Bruce Howard writes: "I have calculated the year of birth of this son of James and Elizabeth on or about 1690. He grew up and received his education across the river in Charles City. In about the year 1713, when still a young man he came south of the river to either work for others or to purchase his own plantation to work for himself. Although the records are silent, he came to the same area where his grandmother lived, only a little further to the west in the same neighborhood where Mr. John Poythress, Sr and family resided. He and Francis Poythress, Sr entered into a joint land and farming venture. It can not be determined if there was any othe relation between them other than business. It is unclear where he actually resided but it may have been on a piece of land that he had recently purchased.

      Prince George Wills & Deeds, p 63 July 12, 1715

      ....Francis Poythress of the Parish of Westopher, County of Prince George, to Peter Grammer of same parish and county...100 acres in same parish and county, next to Richard Pace, and said Poythress... Wit: E. Goodrich, Wm Hamelin

      The land that these two owned adjoined and each had an ownership in the others tract.

      At or before this time, Richard had begun to court and married a young lady by the name of Sarah Woodlief, the daughter of Edward and Sarah Woodlief of Nothern Prince George.

      In March of 1717, Richard was summoned and sworn to serve on a jury at the courthouse at Merchants Hope, in a civil trial. It was still the law that only male freeholders could serve on a jury.
