Thanks for your posting.
Yes, Halifax Co formed 1752/53 from Lunenburg Co and Mecklenburg formed 1765 from Lunenburg.
JRR-William d. 1779 Halifax Co was married twice. First wife apparently Elizabeth (Unknown, won't venture a surname) and second wife Judith (Unknown, won't venture a surname) who surived him. Below an extract of William's 1779 will:
William CHANDLER Last Will & Testament Halifax ce., Virginia Will Book 1 Page 260 (Excerpt) " ... being in perfect sense and memory ... " ...

Exr. My son Timothy and John LE GRAND. William (W) CHANDLER Wit: John WOOD, Richard STANLEY Will Proven: 20 May 1779. Presented by Timothy CHANDLER, one of the exrs. & proved by the several witnesses. Securities: John SMALLMAN & Thomas BINGHAM
This William traveled to Lunenburg Co with a brother Joseph about 1749 or thereabout. Joseph remained in Lunenburg and died there 1764. Now either William bought land in Halifax Co or his land fell into Halifax Co.
William d.1779 and Joseph d.1764 had brother John d.1747 in Goochland Co, VA. This is the line you seem to connect to? Your Richard might be a son or a grandson to JRR-John.
A Pat Burke (whom you may know) has posted to rootsweb of the connection of your Richard to JRR-John. Her email is listed there asp b u r k e 5 2 6 a t c o m c a s t d o t n e t. And you may have already communicated with Pat.
