Washington Co. VA (WCV) MB 9:Makes me wonder if Wm. Burgess had a connection to Stephen Taylor... or Margaret had, rather... If you will notice, Wm. Burgess was long in Russell Co. VA and came across the Clinch (at least in court records!)

There must have been a special reason he came over for that purpose!Jack
