    "By circumstantial deduction, his first wife and mother of his children was Eliza Glover of Buckingham County, whose dower surely was responsible for the wealth that Richard had when he appeared in Charlotte County in 1779. "
    But see also p. 49: "When [Richard] arrived in Charlotte County in 1779 at age 29, he was a relatively wealthy man. His marriage to Sarah Glover had been profitable. He subsequently accumulated more than 1,000 acres in his lifetime."
