15 Jun 1751, Robert Hughes sold to Richard Farrar and Elizabeth his wife ,for the sum of 36 pounds, money of Virginia , 300 acres on the north side of the James River on the branches of the Tuckahoe Creek
The birth of four of Richard and Elizabeths children were recorded by Rev William Douglas, pastor in charge of Dover Church, St James Northam Parish, Goochland, VA from 1750 to 1777. Rev Douglas didn't start keeping notes until 1756, in which he recorded the birth of Stephen (1756), Shadrack (1757), Priscilla (1759) and Rene (1761). The birth of Richard II (1750) was not recorded, nor were the subsequent births of Seth, Renard and Elizabeth.
Other births until 1777 were recorded by Rev Douglas (his notebook is published as The Douglas Register), therefore Richard and Elizabeth either changed religions (Col Samuel Harris was prosletyzing the Baptist persuasion in Goochland in 1756) or Richard sold off the land and moved from Goochland after 1761, or he died and the family eventually moved to Pittsylvania Co, Va
Where Shadrack wrote his will in 1780, proved in 1782, Richard and Stephen paid tithes (taxes) and a record of the sale of the property left by Shadrack to his younger siblings is found.
