According to descendants, Abigail Whitehead, the daughter of Phillip Whitehead, was married to John Yarbrough.[citation needed] On the 4th day of April 1703, John Yarbrough and "Abigal" Yarbrough were witnesses to an Indenture for the sale of 200 acres of land lying in King William County from Phillip Whitehead of Gloucestor County, Virginia to Richard Yarbrough of King William County, it being part of a patent of five thousand acres panted by Mr. Richard Whitehead late of Gloucester county and by his Last Will and Testament unto Phillip Whitehead.[2]

John Yarbrough, and "Abigal" Yarbrough were witnesses to a deed for Joseph Hail and John Hammon of St Johns Parish, King William County to Isaac Hill of Stratton Major Parish in the county of King and Queen on the 4th of May 1721.[3]

Research Notes

The Philip Whitehead, referred to in the 1703 deed, was born 1670, and was the son of Richard Whitehead born in 1639; therefore, he could not be the father of Abigail Whitehead.
