I was reading an interesting article about Leeds Manor and some questions come to mind about the Marshall and Martin families of Fauquier. http://www.patc.net/history/archive/leeds.html The 1815 Virginia Landowners book has David Stigler as a Virginian Landowner of Blue Ridge and Leeds Manor. Does anyone know what part of Leeds Manor was his property? I'm distantly related to Robert Morris, the financier of the Revolution, through the Morris family of Greene County, Pennsylvania. Richard Morris left Virginia for Greene County, Pennsylvania and that's where he died. According to the above article his daughter married James Markham Marshall of Fauquier and his son John Marshall is on my family document for Price Stigler. I didn't realize Robert Morris was connected to the Marshalls. Nancy Stigler (daughter of David Stigler) married Charles Martin and I'm wondering if he was related to the Martins that owned Leeds Manor. I didn't think Leeds Manor was part of my family history but I guess it is. Interesting.
Correction on name: Richard Morris is Robert Morris sorry for the mixup -----Original Message----- From: W.
