Records of York County, vol. 1690-1694, pp. 55, 84, Virginia State Library:

"The support which this measure had in popular favor was shown in the action of many of the leading citizens of the Colony with reference to building a town at York. A plat of ground owned by Benjamin Read was laid off into eighty-five lots, covering an area of fifty acres. Only two appear to have remained without a purchaser. Among the persons who invested in them were such well-known men as Colonel William Digges, John Buckner, Thomas Jefferson, Colonel Edmund Jennings, Colonel William Cole, Dudley Digges, Thomas Chisman, Nathaniel Bacon, Sr., Charles Hansford, Edward Hill, and Governor Francis Nicholson."

GEDCOM Note

Potentially a DNA match to Trish Short Lewis but one of us probably has a mistake somewhere. WAIT -- she has her Charles as 1654-1702 with siblings Elizabeth 1640-1709 and Mary 1642-1675. Hers is only based on another tree.
