Mike,

Petersburg was named for a Peter Jones (back to whom lead many other Peter
Jones) a crony of William Byrd II.  At one point I thought my Baugh genealogy
went back to him, but alas it was the wrong Archibald Baugh with this ancestry.
See this website as an example.

One item you can check off your list now (smile).

Janet (Baugh) Hunter
