    1. Re: Mary Poythress, Dinwiddie Co unrec will 1772

    3. I appreciate Maynard's below comment about that name that popped up in the unrecorded 1772 will of Mary Poythress in Dinwddie Co, VA that I posted the other day, from an old published transcription done apparently in the early 1970s. What he says makes sense: Sitting here in Houston having read "Fitzgerald" in a gazillion Poythress PG documents over past couple of days, I'm going to bet that if that "Fitzgarrett" wasn't completely clear it might have been intended to be Fitzgerald. One of those handwriting conventions of the day had the tail end of a "d" looping back over the line which often appears to be a "tt". All the same, great job..
