Hi Hal,
I have been working backward and have carefully traced Charles with land records in Amelia
County, Virginia. While there he met and married Liza Womack. Soon they move up to
northern Virginia. I used the church Vestry book of St. Paul's Episcopal Church in
Hanover County to work through all the Spradlins [spelled various ways] and Cawthons
[spelled various ways]. In the process of checking the boundries of the area as they did
periodically, I tracked the neighbors from several years of clusters. From this
information I saw that Charles was either from the household of Christopher or William
Cawthon.
