Narrative

John Stodghill was born in Essex Co. VA. After his father died about 1732 he and his mother Ann Madison Stodghill, moved to Orange Co. VA where his older brothers James and Daniel were living. Records indicate that Ann bought a dwelling there in which she and John lived. After Ann died about 1735 John and his brother Daniel both moved back to Essex Co. where John married Elizabeth Miller. He may have inherited the original Stodgill homesite where he and Elizabeth made their home. They were living in Goochland Co. in 1768 when John gave the above farm of 50a in Essex Co. to his daughter Keziah and her husband. The deed identifies this land as the same 50a which was bought by his father in 1718. (EssexCo. DB 16-22/23) John died in Goochland Co. in 1773 where he left a will which names his three daughters and one son. -p. 31
