Recent 30 March 2017 research by this biographer indicates that Mary Walton was a daughter of George Walton, perhaps the same George Walton, whose farm in Brunswick County, Virginia, adjoined the Henry Ledbetter farm and Richard Ledbetter farm, as cited in the Henry Ledbetter Last Will & Testament, dated 23 September 1749.
Henry Ledbetter (1690-1751), brother of Richard Ledbetter II (1700-1767), stated in his 23 September 1749 Last Will & Testament, that the Henry Ledbetter real estate property holdings in Brunswick County, VA, adjoined farms of Richard Ledbetter and George Walton at White Oak Swamp, on the south side of Meherrin River, near the confluence of Rattlesnake Creek and Meherrin River.
