The following is my extraction of one deposition in the file of the above named chancery cause. I would really like to learn as much as I can about this particular William Gathright. Can anyone tell me about him.
Littleberry Baughan was living in the general area of Three Chopt Road/Deep Run Creek/Short Pump at the time of this deposition. Can anyone tell me if this particular William Gathright was also living in that area at this time? How is he related to the Gathrights of the Boar Swamp area?
