Note 4 — Excavations at CLAY BANK in Gloucester County, Virginia, 1962-1963
Reading edition
Records of Colonial Gloucester County Virginia, compiled by Polly Cary Mason (Newport News, 1946), vol. 1, p. 86. The Gloucester rent roll of 1704 showed Robert Porteus owning 892 acres and Madam Porteus (presumably his widowed mother) with 500 acres. The latter may have been situated elsewhere in the parish and have been property inherited by her at the death of her first husband, Robert Lee.
