35. PILGRIM4 VICK (William3, Richarcf, Josephl) was born about 1750- 1755 in Southampton County, Virginia, and he died there before 21 December 1818.

Pilgrim was probably in his middle-to-late twenties when he married (1) LYDIA VICK, daughter ofJacob Vick [#8], on 29 December 1777.1 Three years later, on 11 August 1780, his father sold him a 200 acre tract on Cypress Swamp.2 When his father died in 1784, Pilgrim inherited additional land there that adjoined his cousin Council Vick and William Newsom.3 He was taxed on this property in 1785.4 On 10 May 1792, as co-executor, he filed a current account of his father's estate.s

Pilgrim concentrated his holdings on Cypress Swamp. On 12 June 1788 and again on 13 January 1791, he bought tracts there from his brother Joshua.6 A decade later, on 18 May 1801, he purchased a tract on the south side of Arthur's Swamp from his cousin Mourning and her husband Benjamin Jordan.?......
