Can anyone help Dan Fawcett with his first query and this additional information? David ********************************* David, I'm not sure how this all fits together, but he's some additional info: Turkey Island is directly south of the Glendale National Cemetary (about 5 miles), and about a mile south of Route 156. Glendale National Cemetary is bounded on the east by Turkey Island Creek, which joins with Crewes Channel (further south) to feed the James River at Turkey Island. This is the area where Capt. James Crewes lived, and where John Pleasants (son of Thomas Pleasants) maintained a fishing seine. Regarding the name 'Lead', it is also mentioned in the will of Thomas Pleasants. The book "Colonial Wills of Henrico Co., VA, Part Two (1737-1781)" states: "Will of Thomas Pleasants .... I also appont my living friends: my brother John Pleasants and his son Robert my nephew John Crew (it is hard to tell whether he means Robert or John Crew as his nephew), James Lead, Robert Ellyson, David Johnson, Henry Terrel, David Terrel, and John Cheadle, as trustees of my will.... Dated 19 Nov. 1743". Hope this information helps. Dan Fawcett [email protected]
