I'm sorry, I assumed that folks would know who I was talking about.
William Stith was born in 1707. He wrote  "The History of the First
Discovery and Settlement of Virginia" in 1747, was a president of the
College of William & Mary, and was a Church of England clergyman.

He married Judith Randolph of Tuckahoe (1715-1745) in 1738. My
understanding is that he died on 19 September 1755 in James City
County.
