Conversations relating to William P. Poythress of Richmond remind me that I continue to search for William D. Poythress born 11 July 1835 in Petersburg, the son of Elizabeth Demoble, who died 29 January 1919 and was buried in Blanford Cemetery on 31 January 1919. The infromant on his death certificate is Miss Lena Hutney who resided in the same house as William at 415 Mistletoe St. William was a retired printer. White, male and widowed. Actually I am looking for Ben the huckster of Petersburg, but I figure Bill might be able to tell me why Joshua Poythress, one time lousy sheriff of Prince George, sometime resident of Petersburg and a person who chose New Jersey of all places for his final resting place would give is watch to Ben instead of him. For those who are anxious to know the results of my trip to the chancery files they are being sent to BPN on Thursday. I ran out of copy capacity (but a few more pages were allowed so two files were not done). Meck 1880-030 CC: Willam L. Portress (who is sometimes called William L. Poythress v. Exor of Nancy Thomas was copied. Nancy is William's Grandmother. She died Dec 1864. He served Co. D. 44th Battalion. I did not get to completely copy this file and will try again next time. Meck 1889-007 CC Cleaton vs. Thomas. Just states that A. J. Poythress is a neighbor and that he and others rented land. A. J. mentions that he has a brother, but he is not named. Has to do with 35 acres. Meck 1867-027 CC King vs. Seymour was not done. Meck 1858-015 CC Jones vs. Harwell BPN will be happy to provide full transcript I am sure, but Lyn will be interested also.
