Notes |
- A deed on 8 August 1814 refers to a Court of Chancery order from August of 1813
whereby Agatha Dix (Dicks) acquired what appears to be 73 1/2 acres on Fishing Creek from the estate and heirs of Achilles Douglas, her brother-in-law. Newby Johnson, Douglas's son-in-law, was the guardian of the heirs, and executor of the estate. Agatha Dicks purchased the property from the Achilles Douglas Estate for $1.00
(*Note: On October 12th, 1812, Elizabeth Douglas [wife of Achilles and sister of Agatha Dicks] was granted her dower from Achilles' estate, 76 3/4 acres "including the mansion house" on Lynch's Creek (also known as Fishing Creek). In 1813, she was taxed at a $.50 for the land valued at $61.32. Did Agatha, Elizabeth's Sister, sue her for the large majority of her dower in 1813-1814? It seems as if Elizabeth sold Agatha 73 1/2 acres out of her 76 3/4 acres [perhaps keeping the mansion house and surrounding land], as this land, with the same value, is shown in Agatha's possession in 1815 tax records [Agatha left for Ohio in the fall of 1814, and no record can be found that the Fishing Creek property was ever sold, however])
In 1811, Agatha and her son Achilles had come back to Lynchburg.
