I found this deposition enclosed in a petition of John Willey's dated 1792 [Dorchester] : "The deposition of Mary Willey widow of William Willey of Dorchester County deceased the said deponent deposeth that on the 24th of June in the year that Lord Dunsmore with his troops was said to land on [ ?Gwyne ] Island in Virginia that Stephen Willey eldest son of the said William Willey and herself, went away from home supposed on board of Dunsmores fleet and from what they could learn supposed to die of the small pox in a short time after and that on or about the 15th of September ensuing the above said William Willey died intestate of without will and that she knows of no heir at law to the said William Willey but John Willey son of the said William Willey and herself and further saith not " There is a second deposition on the page but it is so faint as to almost be unreadable but it seems to say that the facts about Stephen Willey are true I know that Dunsmore led a group of Tories out of Williamsburg to Norfolk in 1775 and helped to establish a fort there but was defeated by the Virginia Militia when the British attempted an attack in Dec of 1775 and that he withdrew from Norfolk in Jan 1776. I also know that William Willey died in Sept 1776. My question is can anyone tell me the name of the island that is mentioned in the petition ? Carol
