Deeds were searched and found no deeds or land entries for Richard, although he did have 100 acres in the tax list. Madison Co. GA later on when county borders were changed. Anyway, this Richard has numerous descendants today in Madison and in Walton Co. where Charles and William went about 1835 or so. Mildred died in Ga. about 1836. I would like to find out who his parents were and where in Virginia they came from.
More information is available for anyone interested.
In 1985 I published Our Southern Ancestors which details Richard and Mildred's descendants. I have done some general research in VA on Sneads and Sorrells, but have been unable to find where my ancestors fit in. John Sorrell is found in Goochland Co Va. deeds as early as 1728, which shows he was probably born at least by 1707, and then he is shown in the 1750's buying land in Albemarle near where Monticello was later built. It appears he was married twice. First to a Mary, surname unknown.
