• Notes

  Agnes Witt's father was William Witt, a Huguenot immigrant. He lived in Albemarle (now Fluvanna) County on the north side of the Rivanna in the neck cut off by Ballenger's Creek (different from Ballenger's Creek near Warren). He purchased 200 acres of land there in 1738, when it was still Goochland, and in 1741 gave it to his son John, who patented other land nearby and continued to live there until 1772. This was only a few miles down the Rivanna from MeChunk Creek, where Richard Hickman (clerk of the Council, York County), Edwin Hickman (sheriff of Spotsylvania County), John Key, and other Spotsylvanian's patented 12,000 acres in 1729. Presumably William Witt was still living in this part of Albemarle County when his daughter Agnes married John Key, Jr. in 1750.
