Uriah Rector

GEDCOM Note

Per John Blankenbaker, Germanna note #159: "The father of Uriah Rector has recently been found in a conclusive way by John P. Alcock, the author of the book, Fauquier Families, mentioned here several notes ago. In the loose papers at the Fauquier Courthouse, John found that Uriah Rector had been sued by John Peyton Harrison in 1784 because Uriah's father, John, had been "killed by thunder" before he could execute a deed to Harrison for land Harrison bought of John. Uriah was the eldest son of John Rector. This John (killed by lightning) was the son of another John Rector and the grandson of the 1714 immigrant Hans Jacob Rector."
