Dear Craig Kilby: The incident you refer to can be found in Ralph T. Whitelaw, Virginia's Eastern Shore: A History of Northampton and Accomac Counties ( 2 Vols.,Peter Smith, Gloucester Mass. Reprinted By the Virginia Historical Society, 1951 and 1968). I. p. 111. The author calls it a tradional tale about John Custis IV and his wife Frances Parke Custis, but froma previous response you already know that. Best, Emory Evans ______________________________________ To subscribe, change options, or unsubscribe please see the instructions at http://listlva.lib.va.us/archives/va-hist.html
