William Lightfoot ^{2 3 4 5}

  General Notes:

William Lightfoot (born 1745) also appears to have gone to Fairfax where he was taxed regularly after 1782. In 1789, he is on the taxes with three males tithes, himself, D. and William Lightfoot, Jr. The inventory of his estate, 19 Jul 1826, is recorded in Fairfax Will Book O, pp. 404-405; he also had a slave, Jacob, in Loudon County named in another inventory, pp. 403-404. At the sale of the estate, returned 16 Jul 1827, Mrs. Lightfoot and Margaret Lightfoot were among the purchasers (pp. 405-407) and an accounting by Augustine P. Smith, administrator (Will Book P, pp. 16 0-162) mentions a letter from Catharine Lightfoot.
