from"Pennsylvania Vital records",Vol 11, Genealogical Publishing Co, Inc, 1983

Gilbert Cope copied the Dutton Records of deaths ,marraiges etc....a work compiled by or inthe possetion of Hannah Dutton for many years. A death is listed for Virgil eachus on 9-10-1839. It is likely that this is the Virgil eachus refered to in that work. Gilbert copied this list in 1873 and published his " Chester and Delaware Counties" work in 1904 so he should have the correct date for Virgils death.

Virgil married Bathsheba Webb on 4 Jan 1791 in St Michaels Zion Church, Philadelphia,. Bathsheba was born about 1765 in Maryland, USA; died on 3 Feb 1807; was buried in 1807 in Middletown Preparative Burying Ground, Lima, Delaware. Pa. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
