Sara Elizabeth (Butterfield) Rees

Morris Rees and Sarah Butterfield also migrated to Frederick County, Virginia from southeastern Pennsylvania. They arrived in Frederick County, Virginia about 1753, purchasing land a short distance north of the home of Thomas Rees and Margaret Bowen. The Quaker meeting records document their arrival, and their land purchases verify the dates.

Morris and Sarah, like Thomas and Margaret, were affected by the French and Indian War, which drove many families of the area to move eastward or back to Pennsylvania. Quaker Meeting records show several trips back and forth to Pennsylvania from Frederick County, Virginia.
