The annotations include whom the landowner married and their date of death if the researcher could determine it. As an example, this annotation states: John Battaile (d. 1706; married Catherine Taliaferro and Elizabeth Smith)

The entry for Samuel Poe includes only one annotation ? the date of death, since that is all the court records reveal.
