" He made his home on a tract of land known as the "Old Plantation" or the "Old House Tract", which contained 1000 acres. This tract was purchased by him and was not inherited. It lay on the bank of the Rappahannock River above the Naylors Hole tract, and was separated from it be a small creek called Doctor's creek. He also purchased the Naylor's Hole tract between Doctor's Creek and Rappahannock Creek, but he never live there. When he died he left both of these tracts to his eldest son, William. Besides these lands he owned 1000 acres near Farnham Church called "Quintenoak" which he inherited from his grandfather Col. Samuel Griffin.
William Fauntleroy appears frequently in the early records. He was a member of the House of Burgesses from Richmond County in 1736, 1740, 1742, 1744-1749."2Robert H. Fauntleroy, Fauntleroy Family, The, pg 22. " From the records of Richmond County we learn that on July 3, 1723 he was appointed to keep ferry.... "over the mouth of Rapphannock Creek to the land of Mrs. Katherine Gwyn". On October 7, 1724, James Scott came into court and "obliged himself to serve Mr. William Fauntleroy or his assigns for five years from the date hereof in consideration that the said William Fantleroy pay all his debts and give him at the expiration of his servitude one Kersey Coat, Vest, and Breches". William Fauntleroy seems to have been a strong believer in slavery, was very active in acquiring slaves and in catching runaways and in his will recorded in Richmond County in 1757 he left money to be "laid out in young Negro girls" for the benefit of his heirs.
From Richmond County records, Order Book 9, page 199, we learn that on Feb. 4, 1724 William Fauntleroy brought suit against Thomas Boyd, master of the ship "Prince Royal", for slander. Boyd had publically accused him of receiving and concealing some sails and other materials which had been stolen from his ship. William Fauntleroy was awarded £ 5 damages.
In the same records, Order Book 9, page 465, is recorded that on Apr. 2, 1729 William Fauntleroy brought suit against John Watkinson, master of the ship "Vine", for failure to carry out instructions in disposing of a shipment of tobacco at Liverpool, England. In this case he was awarded 11 shillings damages."3Virginia Historical Magazine, The. Vol 1. Number 1. July 1891, Jefferson Wallace, Richmond, Virginia, pg 4, 11.

"due to his early death his name does not appear as frequently in the early records as that of his father, but we know that he was taken to London about 1674 by his stepfather, Col. William Lloyd, and that his mother went with them. There Col. Lloyd had him bound out as apprentice to James Lowry, a factor, and later to Charles Seddon, a pewterer. The reason for this move is obscure, however, after Col. Lloyd had returned to Virginia William Fauntleroy evidently quarreled with Seddon, as it is recorded that Seddon put him out of the house and refused to allow him, to return also refused to let William Fauntleroy have his books and other personal property. Shortly after this William Fauntleroy returned to Virginia, where he married Katherine Griffin in 1678.
In addition to the lands he inherited from his father, William Fauntleroy also received 4054 acres from Col. William Peirce, and 1155 acres which was given to Katherine Griffin by Ambrose Clare, perhaps her uncle or grandfather. Between 1678 and 1686 he sold 7000 acres of land, including a tract of 1200 acres to Col. William Lloyd. This tract was a part of the Mangorite grant patented by his father, and was in the possession of his mother when she married Col. Lloyd. It was on Bushwood Creek, and contained "the stone house field" before mentioned, and was probably the last home of Col. Moore Fauntleroy.
William Fauntleroy retained the part of the Mangorite Grant called Crondall and the Island, about 1200 acres, and probably lived there. When he died without a will, this passed to his eldest son Moore, who lived there for many years.
William Fauntleroy was a Justice in Old Rappahannock County from 1684 to 1686."2Virginia Historical Magazine, The. Vol 1. Number 1. July 1891, Jefferson Wallace, Richmond, Virginia, pg 4.

"William and Katherine (Griffin) Fauntleroy had issue: 1. Moore (e) of Richmond county, died 1739; married Margaret, daughter of Paul Micou, of "Port Micou," Essex; 2.

(f2) About the middle of the seventeenth century two brothers (as the York records show) named Bushrod, were living on or near York river, in Virginia. The elder Colonel Thomas Bushrod, born 1604 was of York county in 1651. In 1657 is entitled, in a power-of-attorney from English merchants "of Essex Lodge on York River;" was burgess for the county in 1659. In or before l66l he married the widow of Captain Thomas Hi11. His widow, Mrs. Elizabeth Bushrod, died in 1679 and in her will, proved in York in that year, names her daughters Lydia, wife of Thomas Harwood, and Elizabeth, wife of Colonel John Scarsbrook. Which of her marriages they were the issue of is not known.
Richard Bushrod, of Gloucester county, was born 1627, and married Apphia ___. In 1662 he had a grant of 2000 acres on the Potomac in ^Westmoreland. He had issue: 1. John, of Westmoreland county, born in Gloucester January 30, 1663, died February 6, 1719 (epitaph in Meade); had in 1710 a grant of land in Westmoreland, adjoining his own land and that of his deceased brother Thomas; married Hannah, daughter of William Keene, of Northumberland county; 2. Thomas. There is at Richmond Court house a bond dated 1709 from Griffin and Moore Fauntleroy, executors of Thomas Bushrod, of "Beautrey" Northumberland, to John Bushrod of Westmoreland, Gentleman, which states that the said Thomas Bushrod made his will September 1, 1697 and left issue a son Richard, and a daughter Anne, who had "lately" married John Bushrod. A Richard Bushrod was a captain in the Virginia forces in the expedition under Admiral Vernon in 1740 (Council Journal).
John and Hannah (Keene) Bushrod had issue; 1. John, of Westmoreland, married, about 1709, Anne, daughter of Thomas Bushrod; 2. Son; 3. Apphia, married about 1712 William Fauntleroy; 4, Daughter; 5. Daughter; 6. Daughter.
The last named John Bushrod was probably father of Colonel John Bushrod, who was burgess for Westmoreland 1748, 1753, 1754, 1755 (and probably other years) married Jenny, daughter of Colonel
Gawin Corbin, and was father of Hannah Bushrod who married John A. Washington, brother of the President.
A Richard Bushrode had a license in 1623 to make a voyage of discovery and trade from England to New England."2The Generations Network, Inc., 2004, U.S. and International Marriage Records, 1560-1900, Yates Publishing, 23950.003, Ancestry.com. "Name: Hannah Keene
