I have a copy of the Estate division of Elizabeth Rixey Dowell Will book 3, page 497 Fauquier Co., records date 1/18/2804. In it is a division of slaves given to Elizabeth Rixey by a conveyance made her by Richard Rixey, Sr. The index to deed records in Prince William Co. shows a reference to Rixey to Dowell, Book S, page 545. This book is missing but the Richard Rixey decd clearly refers to Richard Sr. since Jr and his son were both living at the time. I also have the inventory to Richard Rixey's estate and he did own slaves.
The best proof I have is that I've seen a copy of a family history written by Elizabeth's great grandson that gave her name and her father's name as Richard. Everything on this history has been correct.
