In 1643 “Thomas Pettus, Gent.” had a land grant of 886 acres between Jamestown and Middle Plantation [now Williamsburg], “a part being by reason of intermarriage with the relict of Richard Durant who patented it in 1636”. [Cav. & Pio. 159; Wm. & Mary Quar, vi 127]. In 1656 “Thomas Pettus Esq. of James City Co. and Elizabeth his wife” gave power-of-attorney for sale of 1000 acres in Westmoreland [from Northumberland in 1653].
I am descended from Thomas Pettus and his wife, Elizabeth, the widow of Richard Durant who died before 1643 in Virginia. Some individuals show that Richard Durant's wife's maiden name was Mouring [or Mourning] but I have been unable to find any source giving her maiden name. I would appreciate any information or suggestions that would help me in determining the maiden name of Richard Durant's wife.
