Just pure nosiness. : : As it happens, I have ancestors from both of the Mecklenburgs, in VA and in : NC, however, they are not related. I also live in New Kent County which is, : as your probably know, right next to Charles City. Since so much of New : Kent's info overlaps with surrounding counties, I looked up a few of your : surnames, Apperson/Epperson in particular because I know there are a lot of : them in NK. FYI there is a Richard Apperson shown on the the New Kent tax : list in 1782 with 600 acres. Also a Peter with 60, a John with 706 1/2, and : a Samuel with 311. : : Also, FYI, Charles City has a really wonderful History Center with a wealth : of informtion on both Charles City and surrounding counties. : : Terri in VA :
