LAND: Letter from Mary Jo Fite, Cordell, OK, to T Mason; ; dtd 25 Sep 1996; in poss of T Mason;

NOTES: From Virginia - A Guide to the Old Dominion, a Virginia Writer Project, p 554: Richard Bushrod acquired "Bushfield", a large, vine-covered brick house built about the middle of the nineteenth century and left it to his son John, whose widow, Hannah Keene, though twice remarried, was buried here at her request between her first and third husbands.

Lewis of Warner Hall, The Warner Ancestry of the Lewis Family:

"Much is known about the life and family of Hannah (Keene) Bushrod, who was first married to John Bushrod. Her father William Keene was the son of Thomas Keene [will dated Nov. 22, 1652] of Northumberland and his wife Mary [will dated Jan. 2, 1692, proved Feb. 10, 1662]. who married secondly Thomas Broughton. Elizabeth, wife of William Keene, was the daugther of John and Mary (Bird) Rogers of Virginia, and married secondly Thomas Banks of Northumberland [Virginia Magazine of History and Biography, vol.1].

After the death of John Bushrod, Hannah (Keene) Bushrod married successively Col. Willoughby Allerton (died 1724) and John Cooper (died 1735). The will of Col. Willoughby Allerton [Wills of Westmoreland County by Fothergill] mentions his son Isaac and daughter Elizabeth, both of whom were probably children of Hannah Keene; and the will of John Cooper mentions a married daughter, but she could hardly have been the child of Hannah Keene during their short married life. Hannah Keene outlived all three of her husbands; her will was dated December 26, 1738 and probated in Westmoreland on May 29, 1739 under the name of Hannah Cooper; it mentions her children including her son-in-law and daughter William and Apphia Fauntleroy."
