I was looking in the Prince George County Virginia Records 1733-1792 by Benjamin B. Weisiger III and ran across a Charles Poythress. Has anyone ever connected him? I don't see him on the Bolling Batte Study. My first incounter with the name Charles was Charles David Poythress, son of David Poythress and Sally Dortch. Quote "Case of Thomas Gibson against Drury Oliver for non payment of cost of salivateing a negro man named Peter, belonging to the defendant, on Nov. 6, 1736 and for divers medicine, plasters, ointments, and mercurial bolus's. Jury impanelled: Thomas Williams, William Gibbs, Peter Leath, Edward Mitchell, Edmond Irby, Jr., John Mason, Charles Poythress, John Eppes, John Hamlin, William Batte, John Butler, & William Crawley. Found for the defendant. Suit dismissed & plaintiff to pay costs. I wish I had already received my A to Zax dictionary. What in the world is salivateing a person? Doesn't sound very hygenic but I am sure it means something else entirely. Elaine
