    ... Thomas Lear, son of Col. Lear by his first wife, married Elizabeth, daughter of
    Col. Joseph Bridger, of Isle of Wight county, another member of the Council.
    He died before his father, leaving issue named in Col. John Lear's will
    (quarterly, VII., p. 309), (1) Thomas, (2) John, (3) Elizabeth, (4) Martha.

    Of these John was living in 1712, married to Elizabeth, the executrix of Isabella
    Haveild, who was executrix of Dr. Luke Haveild, of Nansemond. He was sheriff of
    Nansemond in 1723. After this I have found no mention of the Lear family. ...
