(1996) Little is known of Joseph and his sister America [R364], who as young people moved east to Powhatan County (~20 miles W of Richmond) to live. They remained close, because Joseph’s name appears in connection with the financial trouble America’s husband got in. In 1849, the Edward Wood heirs gave (for $1) 186 acres of land from the Randolph County Wedge Lot to Joseph (tract J1 in Fig. R361b; DB18-75), as his share of the estate. I don’t think he ever occupied the land; he probably sold it, but I haven’t seen the deed.
It would be good to learn more of these two lost sheep.
