From the will it appears that John’s daughters, Sarah and Anne, were not yet married. Dragon Swamp (present-day Dragon Run) is about 50 miles east of Richmond, Virginia. Dragon Swamp extended some 20 miles in a relatively straight line; and winding through the swamp was an impassable creek, Dragon Run.
