Shepheard appealed to the next court, and it was ordered that he put up security, pay 50% of the damage in case he was condemned, and remain in the sheriff's custody. Col. Edm. Scarburgh then requested that Shepheard speak and justify himself at this time, for then present were several witnesses who knew much of Shepheard's dealings and of several testimonies printed in a libellous book. Scarburgh maintained that in this "public audience where most of the county were then present" Shepheard should name persons, times, places and circumstances. After many "impertinent speeches" Shepheard answered that it was at Pungotege, but didn't know when. Several dwellers of Pungotege, (Mr. Richard Hill, Mrs. Anne Toft, Anne Francis and Mr. Jno.

Richard Ayres White Sr.1,2
M, b. 31 December 1795, d. 29 March 1869
| Birth* | 31 December 1795 | Richard was born on 31 December 1795 at Accomack Co, VA. Since his tombstone shows 31 Dec 1795 or 1797, the earlier is assumed, since he was married in 1816 and this would make him age 21 (instead of age 19) when married..2 |
| Census w/mother* | 1800 | Richard was listed with his mother in the census of in 1800 at Accomack Parish, Acc Co, VA. He was probably one of the 2 males, age 0-10 (bc 1790-1800) in the household headed by Sally White (Levin)..3 |
| Will - GrMoth's* | 7 August 1800 | Richard was named in his grandmother's will on 7 August 1800 at Accomack Co, VA. He was shown as my grandson Richard White in the will of Ann Ayres..4 |
| Anecdote | 1806 | In Jul and Dec of 1806 in Accomack Co, VA, 2 orphan accounts were recorded for Richard White, orphan of Levin, to Wtm. Willit, guardian. A total of £8.19.5 was paid to Willit for various expenses and there was a credit for estate of £79.0.0 and land rent of £10.0.0. Cash was paid to Rich'd Bundick and to George Poulson for schooling and most of the other expenses were clothing and shoes, etc.5 |
| Anecdote | 1808 | In 1808 in Accomack County, an orphan account was recorded for Richard White, orphan of Levin, to Waitman Willit, guardian. Among the items paid was 3 months and 10 days schooling and 3 1/2 months board.6 |
| Anecdote | 1809 | In 1809 in Accomack County, an orphan account was recorded for Richard White, orphan of Levin, to Waitman Willit, guardian. Among the items paid was 6 months schooling and 6 months board.6 |
| Census w/another* | 1810 | Richard was listed with another family in the census of in 1810 at Accomack Parish, Acc Co, VA. He was probably the male, age 10-16 (bc 1794-1800) in the household headed by Waitman Willett..3 |
| Marriage* | 7 October 1816 | He married Henrietta R. 'Henny' Pruitt, daughter of Benjamin Pruitt and Henrietta 'Ritter' Melson, on 7 October 1816 at Accomack Co, VA. Charles Lewis was the security on the M.L.B. of Richard White of Levin and Henrietta R. Prewit..1 |

| Anecdote* | 26 February 1824 | When Waitman Willett's estate was finally settled, an audit of 26 Feb 1824 showed William A. White was the administrator and Sarah Willett was a buyer. Cash was paid Richard White for his orphan claim due by the estate. (NOTE: Evidently William A. White and Richard White were Sarah's step-children by her previsous marriage to Levin White and when she married Waitman Willett in 1806, he became the guardian to Richard White who was still under age. According to the 1850 census Richard was born in 1796 and would have been 17 years old in 1813 when Waitman Willett died and had a claim against his estate. William A. White was evidently old enough to become the administrator of Waitman Willett's estate.)7 |
