Item 8.
E.) William Russell: The man who sold Richard Harrel his land along the Shenandoah River, was born in 1680 at Stafford County, Virginia, he died in Prince William County, Va. In 1756, William Russell owned all of the land in an area known as Sandy Hook (Orange Co., then Augusta Co., today Shenandoah Co.). Altogether he owned more than 6,000 acres. Later he would sell much of this land to Christian Bowman in 1737 (Orange Co., Deed Book 2, p.1) He and his wife Grace had four children: Katherine Thomas Russell b.1711, William Russell, Jr. b. abt. 1713, Nicholas Russell b. abt. 1715 and Martin Russell b. abt. 1731. All four children were born in Stafford County, Va. The younger William Russell was also known as Capt. Russell. His land bordered Richard Harrell's land in Augusta Co.

(Note: Apparently James Harrold married Mary Chapman, or later married another Mary, since his wife at his death appears to have been named Mary.)
Item 11.
John Harrill: John Harril was a witness to his father's last will and testament. He was also mentioned in the will of Houson/Howson Kenner. In Howson Kenner's will dated April 9, 1778 and proved in Fauquier Co., Va., he describes a tract of land he sold to William Seaton, land upon which John Bials and John Harrel were living. Item 12.
Capt. Howsen Kenner: Why did Mary Harrill nominate Howsen Kenner to
administrate her husband's estate? Who was Howsen Kenner anyway? Kenner was
a Justice of the Peace for Prince William Co. He was also a vestryman for
Dettingen Parish in Prince William Co. He was a large landowner in Prince
William Co. We can gather from his will that he may have rented land to John
Harrill.

Item 13.
According to an extensive nine page internet posting on Genforum by Kiley
Walbom, Howson was christened in St. Stephen's Parish in Northumberland Co.,
Va. On May 10, 1712. Capt. Kenner is buried near Somerville, Virginia about
