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]
