Notes

Will of John Oldham, date 29 January 1762 proved 6 September 1762, which also names two grandsons, John and Thomas Hardford (Richmond Co., VA Will Book6, p. 317). In his will John Oldham specifically refers to his daughter Mary,as Mary Tarpley. I also point out that their second son of James and Mary Oldham Tarpley was named John Oldham Tarpley.
