Elias Crackley (sic) seems to have been a witness to the May 9, 1777 Will of William Russell because he was one of three persons who in September 1777 gave an oath at the Court proceeding at the start of the probate of that Will. Joseph Longacre and Peter Thorbough also gave oaths. See William Russell Notes.
A survey was made on January 17, 1781 by Richard Rigg (chain carriers John Lee and John Thomas) for Elias Keckley of Frederick County. The land surveyed was a tract of 137 acres adjoining his own land (149 acres) on Duck Run. The survey diagram indicates "Capt Richards or John Lee" as adjoining land owners. A deed for this land was issued to Elias Keckley on October 15, 1790. The 1781 survey was mentioned in the September 14, 1800 survey by James Pugh for Moses Russell and Capt. Philip P. Booher, assignees of Bennet Hall, of 286 3/4 acres in Frederick County on both sides of Duck Run adjoining Col. William Deakins and John Hastings, with reference to "John Richards son and devisee of Henry Richards decd Survey of 68 acres". [Source: Virginia land records on-line.]
