One of the landowners mentioned in this deed is Robert Liverett. He is brother or father to my Thomas Liverett who is one of the named witnesses of the Puryear to Hightower deed in 1770 sent in an earlier message today. The Robert Liverett who received in 1766 a land grant of 1550 acres in Lunenburg County is the father of Thomas Liverett living in Lunenburg County VA in 1770. I will provide documentation upon request. Can anyone shed light on the name of the parents of this Robert Liverett in 1766?
