Found another note from that same birth register in Virginia, on page 368, there is a reference to a male slave John(b. 7/6/1741), slave of Col. John Stith.
So many names are repeated that it is hard to sort out.There were quite a few John Stiths.Major John Stith died in 1693, so I can rule him out, but he did have two sons Capt. John Stith and Col. Drury Stith (Drury III's dad).I am referring to Drury III as the one that married Elizabeth Buchner.I am thinking that slave John would have come from Drury III's uncle, Capt. John Stith, or I do see a listing of Capt. John Stith as having a son known as Col. John Stith.
Good luck!
