This is a strange one; there is no entries for free white males nor for free white females. Just 12 slaves. Perhaps this is a separate farmland and not his main home.

From: Julie Foushee <jfoushee@ix.netcom.com> I have recently begun researching my husband's family, and the trail leads to Culpepper. According to my most recent information he is a descendent of John Foushee who was born in 1721 in Culpepper. He married Aphia who was born in 1725. They had 13 children, Elijah born in 1759 apparently moved to North Carolina and was the father of William who is my husband's great-great grandfather. According to the Familly Tree Maker all of this family of Foushee's were born at Cedar Run, Culpepper, VA. I would appreciate any information which you may have on this family or Cedar Run. Thank you, Julie Foushee Jfoushee@ix.netcom.com
