Well, I didn't have much luck with this on the VA-Roots list so I will try here. According to Loudoun Co., VA Will Book A, p. 27, an inventory of the estate of William LAYTON was reported to the court on 11 June 1760. In 1770 (different sources) an Andrew LAYTON was a chain carrier for a survey for Nehemiah HARRIS (later assigneed to Robert CRISLEY or CROSLEY) that was made by Richard RIGGS in the Dillon Run country of Back Creek. (Is this in Frederick or in Berkeley?) Finally, an Andrew LAYTON served in the Co of Capt Abel Westfall in 1777 which had a number of individuals from Frederick in the unit. I am trying to learn if there was a connection between the two fellows, and if either or both of them were from the LAYTON family that resided in the Monmouth Co, NJ area. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks. Renee L. Dauven
