Karen,
A Henry Yarbrough bought land in 1758 in Brunswick co Va. A George Yarbrough witnessed the deed. I am trying to find who Henry Yarbrough and George Yarbrough were. Apparently Henry Yarbrough left Brunswick co Va in the early 1760's because when he sold the land in 1769 the deed said Henry Yarbrough of Buckingham co va and George Wray sold the land. The same day Henry Yarbrough sold a different piece of land to George Wray. I do not know how George Wray's name got on the deed. I can not find where Henry Yarbrough sold part of the land he bought to George Wray between 1758 when he bought the land to 1769 when he and George wray sold the land. I am trying to find who the parents were of George Wray. I know he was married to a Rachel but I do not know her maiden name. I thought maybe since I can not find any kind of deed or record whowing where George Wray bought part of the land from HEnry Yarbrough after Henry bought the land in 1758 until 1769 when they sold the land together or at least that is what the deed says I thought maybe George Wray might have married a Yarbrough and was given part of the land in a deed of gift. I know back then that if Henry Yarbrough had a daughter and she married George wray and Herny gave them land that is was in George's name and not Herny daughter's name since apparently every thing was in the man's name back then. I can't think of any other way Herny Yarbrough could have bought the land in 1758 and then by 1769 George wray's name was on the deed also. I looked for a deed between 1768 and 1769 where Henry Yarbrough might have sold George wray part of the land or given him part of the land but I could not find one. Maybe there is a court record wehre Henry Yarbrough gave George wray part of the land. Just a guess. I thought that finding George Yarbrough signing a s a witness in the 1758 deed that you might have in your records a Henry Yarbrough with a brother or son named George Yarbrough living in Brunswick co va in the 1750's and the 1760's. That would help possibly determine which Yarbrough line Henry and George were from. I know there was a John Yarbrough and a Lewis Yarbrough and a Joseph Yarbrough and a Thomas and a Richard and I think a Thomas Griggs Yarbrough or aRichard Griggs Yarbrough living in Brunswick co Va in the 1750's and the 1760's. They were probably from another county before Brunswick co Va or the were living in another county and when Brunswick co Va was formed they were then living in Brunswick co Va. Any ehlp you could give me would be apprecited. Would you check your record for a Henry Yarbrough with a relative named George Yarbrough? Thanks, Ross
