Dear Listers:

I have some copies of correspondence from my ancestor (William
Kercheval) to Lawrence Lewis. They were written in 1800, 1801, and 1802.
He seems to have been managing Mr. Lewis' property. I believe that this
ancestor was a tenant farmer of George Washington's near Winchester. My
questions are:

1. Who is Lawrence Lewis - a descendant or ???

2. My ancestor's contract was completed in January 1799. what would have
happened then in that George died that year?

3. What is the difference between a tenant farmer and a manager of a
farm.?

Any help along this line would be very helpful.

Diana Kercheval Bennett
