Hi, Nancy

  From the little I have found so far, some were driven out and went to Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina.  Others converted to avoid losing everything.  Some were jailed at Jamestown and some changed their names (I don't know if they also stopped Quaking) because Quakers were not allowed to conduct business in Virginia.  I've found nothing so far on those jailed at Jamestown.

are still living in the Richmond area. Unless they came back.
