  Notes	In 1761 John O'Rear and George Lathum were sued in trespass by Elizabeth Marshall, a neighbor of John O'Rear's (and probably related to the Elizabeth Marshall who married John O'Rear's grandson, Jesse) with the specification that they "---- with force and arms, to wit with clubs strike, whip &c one negro man named Joe belonging to the said plaintiff did assault beat would &c treat so that the aforesaid negro slave could not possibly attend or perform the lawful business of his said mistress whereby the same remains undone and she was deprived and lost the benefit and advantage of the labours of the said negro slave for a long time ----- they the said defendants then and those did to the said plaintiff against the peace of our soverign Lord the now King & to the damage of the said plaintiff twenty pounds." The jury found for the plaintiff but apparently was unimpressed by the damage to the "King's Peace" or Ms. Marshall's loss of Joe's services -- they awarded her one penny damages. http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=:3165151&id=I591909596 He appeared on the tax list at Fauquier County, Virginia, in 1787.
