• Notes

  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Excerpt from Stovall-John-Sr-notes in Misc-Docs-Pics folder: Darcus (---) Stovall, widow of John2, was alive as late as 2 February 1787 when she, with her son Drury and Ann, Drury's wife, sold for £350 to John Young the 300 acres that remained of her late husband's lands, on which she then lived, excepting 1/16 acre "at the grave" (evidently the grave of her husband).[198] since she was not mentioned by name in the will, this deed is very important in that it establishes that John Stovall had but one wife who was the mother of all his children. For only five of these children are there better than rough approximations for dates of birth. Traditional order is altered in some cases to allow for known marriages of children or births of some grandchilden. John Stovall's gifts of land were not at all necessarily made in birth order. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- found at findagrave.com on 7/11/2023 Dorcas Drury Stovall Birth: 1711 Henrico County, Virginia, USA Death: 2 Feb 1787 (aged 75-76) Burial: Burial Details Unknown Memorial #: 73170599 Family Members Spouse John Bartholomew Stovall 1700-1781 Children Bartholomew Stovall 1732-1803 Delilah Stovall Pinson 1735-1821 John Stovall 1737-1820 Elizabeth Stovall Poole 1738-1837 Thomas Stovall 1744-1771 Josiah Stovall 1749-1798 Drury Stovall 1752-1826 Benjamin John Stovall 1755-1812 Maintained by: Barb Kobres Hill (48945371) Originally Created by: Sean McClendon (47100165) Added: 10 Jul 2011 URL: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/73170599/dorcas-stovall Citation: Find a Grave, database and images (https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/73170599/dorcas-stovall: accessed 11 July 2023), memorial page for Dorcas Drury Stovall (1711-2 Feb 1787), Find a Grave Memorial ID 73170599; Burial Details Unknown; Maintained by Barb Kobres Hill (contributor 48945371). --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- found at findagrave.com bef 7/11/2023 Dorcas Drury Stovall Birth: 1711 Henrico County Virginia, USA Death: Feb. 2, 1787 Family links: Spouse: John Stovall (1706 - 1781)* Children: Delilah Stovall Pinson (1735 - ____)* Thomas Stovall (1744 - 1771)* Josiah Stovall (1749 - 1798)* *Calculated relationship Burial: Non-Cemetery Burial Created by: Sean McClendon Record added: Jul 11, 2011 Find A Grave Memorial# 73170599 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
