Will: 20 June 1721, Lancaster Co., Virginia, America. 2
Will Probated: 8 Nov. 1721, Lancaster Co., Virginia, America. 2
Notes:
Mentioned in his father's will.
In a court proceeding recorded in Lancaster County in December 1722, Thomas Carter, gent., one of the Justices of the Court, testified that "Ann Burn, widow, Elizabeth Doggett, widow, Mary Tayloe, Apphia Dogget, Julian Boyd and George Dogget of this County on the night of the sixteenth day of November last unlawfully assembled & frightned & disturbed divers of his Majesty's good subjects." On 13 Feb 1722/23, each of the defendants was fined five shillings. No other information about this has been found. George Doggett and Apphia Doggett are clearly children of Elizabeth. Again, Apphia is a given name of great rarity at that time and place, and clearly supports the inference that Elizabeth Bushrod-Doggett was a daughter of Apphia Bushrod. 3
