About Frances Robertson

"John, Jr. and Frances (Puckett?) Clyborn must have had a young son, named John (3rd gen.), at the time of his death. Frances, widow Clyborn, married a second time to William Robertson of Dale Parish, Chesterfield Co, VA as is shown by his will of 1757. John Cliborn (abt 1712-1764/5) was named as son-in-law [meaning stepson] when his stepfather, William Robertson, bequeathed him a slave. The 1736 Henrico Co. Tax List shows that William Robinson [Robertson] paid the tax levy for John Clayborn."[1]
