I am searching for the 5 "Carothers" brothers who changed their name to
"Crowder" in early 1699/1700 and lived south of the Appomattox River at Indian
Town Run in Prince George County VA. In 1716 they moved to the Crowder Tobacco Plantation
on Mawhipponeck Creek just west of where Petersburg City is today. In 1737 Abraham Crowder
purchased 400 acres on Winticomiack Creek and then in 1749 - Richard, Henry and Abraham
were granted the Lands from the Tobacco Plantation on Mawhipponeck Creek when Bartholomew
Crowder died.
I am seeing on line a Sarah Walker c1719 who marries James Carothers/Crowder c1715, could
this be one of their sons? If anyone has a record from this time period please e-mail or
post on line. Thanks, Patricia (Red Hat Lady)
