ROANE FAMILY (p 89)

Editor of the Virginia Magazine of History and Biography: Sir, - When I prepared the list of descendants of Sarah Winston, given in the appendix to Vol. 2 of my Life of Patrick Henry, I was unable to obtain full information as to the descendants of Judge Spencer Roane and Anne Henry. Since then I have had some correspondence with Hon. Spencer Roane Thorpe, a descendant of Judge Roane, who has given me fuller information. I will be obliged, therefore, by your publishing the following, which he has sent me. WM. WIRT HENRY
