Falling off a horse is one thing, but just falling over dead in the middle of the road is another. Immediately following the horse fall death of John Lovell, we learn: Westmoreland County, VA Deed & Will Book 7, p 21-22 13 Jun 1720. Inquisition into death of Seatam Roges [?], servant to Simon Lutrell. The jury was of “opinion that he by all circumstances making homeward fell down & was found dead which was the handiwork of God and not by an person hurt.” Signed by William Geron [?], George Weedon, Thomas Hawkins, John Shropshire, Nath’l Smith, Sam’l Dishman, Sr., Sam’l Dishman, Jr., Richard Arrowsmith, John Dishman, Peter R[xxx], Jno: Edwards, Wm Edwards, Jas Weedon, Trarence Conner [Tarence Conier] , Original Brown, Jno Cortney. Sworn before Burditt Ashton 29 June 1720. Recorded 9 July 1720. My goodness. Westmoreland was a dangerous place to live at this time. In most cases, people were moved and instigated by the Devil, but even God himself has his "handiwork" this time. Craig Kilby
