Anderson vs. Rhea--O. S. 170; N. S. 60--Bill, 1813. Robert
Anderson of Botetourt purchased land in Botetourt from William Rhea
of Kentucky, which was originally part of five tracts held by David
Mitchell, who died twenty or thirty years ago intestate, leaving
heirs, viz: James Mitchell, his brother, representatives of two
sisters of whole blood, one named Brownlee and one Tate, and either
a sister of the half-blood or her representatives. An informal
partition was made and 200 acres were allotted to Mrs. Brownlee's
representatives. William Rhea married one of the daughters of Mrs.
Brownlee, who had nine children entitled to distribution.
