The cases of Timson v Robertson and Scarbury & ux. v Barber’s Ex’or in Barton, Virginia Colonial Decisions, 2:B85–B87, B294–304, involve members of some of the families involved in this case, and probably some of the same people. Whether the issues are otherwise related requires further exploration.
