I am doing a book on Hannah(Lee) Corbin and her last significant other was a
Dr. Richard Llngan Hall. After he died in 1774, his accounts at two
different mercantile establishments were turned over, first to Hannah and then to
George Turberville who was her executor. Dr. Hall was not only a physician but
also a tobacco grower but the three pages of items he ordered were probably
not from England
One establishment was Hudson Muse (orders for goods were 1773-1774) and
I know that he was in Richmond County. The second was Thomas & George Simpson
(orders for similar goods were years 1759-1764). I believe that they were
in the Colonies and probably fairly close to Richmond County (where Dr. Hall
lived). If any one knows their location and a little history of them, I would
appreciate it. Bill McCarty <[log in to unmask]>
