5. JAMES HANSBROUGH. (4 Peter) Born in Stafford County Virginia, about 1719; died in Stafford County in September or October of 1784. On page 201 of the register of St. Paul's Parish, King George County, his marriage is recorded as "James Hansbury and Lettice Sumners married September 19th (1741). She was the daughter of Joseph Sumner, Jr., and his wife Janet Rowley. They had eight children. The first record of him is found in the ledger of Allison, a merchant of Falmouth, when he purchased some cloth. In the ledger, he is referred to as "Father of Peter, Under-sheriff of Stafford." Prior to 1779, he began purchasing land in Culpeper. At that time, he was known as James "Senior." On August 16, 1779, he and his wife, Lettice, sold some land to Becket Davenport. He also sold land on March 3, 1781, to his son Peter Hansbrough, Jr., of King George County. When James died in 1784, his estate included 17 slaves, 5 horses and 20 cattle. His will makes no mention of his wife, so it is presumed that she died before him.
