Hugh is listed on the 1746 Rent Rolls of Lunenburg Parish. Hugh was a half brother to John (born to Hugh?s father?s second wife below). Mentioned in his father?s will. Sold Land on Pope?s Creek, Westmoreland Co., to Daniel McCarty 16 Mar 1743 [27]. Another record says Daniel McCarty bought the land on 1 Oct 1728 [42]. This land is across the Creek from the birth home of George Washington and shown on various tourist maps as belonging to Daniel McCarty. Margaret was b. 28 Oct 1720, illegitimate dau. of Daniel Field of Pope?s Creek Plantation, Washington Parish, Westmoreland Co., VA [28] (per Will of Daniel Field, 2 Sept 1732/3, Westmoreland Co. Wills & Deeds, Vol. 8, p. 200). Daniel was the eldest son of Daniel Field of Washington Parish who died between April and June 1720 (Will of Daniel Field, 17 Apr 1720, Westmoreland Co. Wills & Deeds, Vol . 7, p. 6). Daniel was the son of Abraham Field who received the land grant 18 Mar 1662 for the land at the head of Pope?s Creek (Westmoreland Co. Wills & Deeds, Vol. 2, pp. 45-46 & 74-75). Westmoreland Co., VA, Wills and Deeds, Vol. 9, pp. 289-292: Hugh French & wife, Margaret Gervise, daughter of Daniel Field, of Richmond County, Va. sold land on Pope?s Creek, Westmoreland Co. to Daniel McCarty 16 Mar 1743. On 25 Apr 1767 the deed between Hugh French of parish Hanover, King George County, and Moore Fauntleroy of parish Lunenburg, County of Richmond, was witnessed by Benjamin Drake. Margaret Jarvis? mother, Mary, had married Daniel Field, Jr., after Margaret?s father died [117]. Margaret was a legatee of Daniel Field who, besides being her step-father, may have been Margaret?s father?s cousin [117]. Margaret?s father, who seems to have died fairly young, might be the elder son, James Jarvis (s/o John Jarvis and Elizabeth Field), who predeceased his father [117]. John Jarvis is said to have died in 1733 in Westmoreland Co., VA [117].
