Query on Jo. THATCHER, ca 1635, emigrant to Virginia
Floyd Wiley Whitley 11/16/05
From the booklet "Historical Atlas of Westmoreland County, Virginia" by David Eaton:
"Page 45 - Sylvester Thatcher patented 1,000 acres of land October 29,1650, on Troy Creek, then called Thatcher's Creek, and incluing part of the Underwood land.His patent extended from the Rappahannock River eastward for nearly two miles."
In another paragraph it is mentioned that William Clapham, born 1653, married Mary, the daughter of Sylvester Thatcher.
I am not researching these people and have no further information.
