  • Notes 
    • RESEARCH_NOTES:
      1. In reviewing tithable records from 1681 on in Lawne's Creek Parish, Robert Savage shows up almost every year up to 1697. He died in 1698. A Mary Savage shows up for the first and only time in 1699 and then a widow Savage in 1701. It isn't proven, but this widow appears to be Mary who is probably the wife of the deceased Robert. The only other Savage to show up in this parish in the tithables from 1681 to 1701 besides Robert is Charles. There is no indication of a death of Charles in this time period. The Surry County VA Tithables in question:
