Individual Details

William and Ruth "Waters" children of William Waters, were bound out to Robert Waters by the Halifax Co Court in March of 1760. Presumably they are his younger sister and brother.

First List of Tithables of Pittsylvania Co in THE HISTORY OF PITTSYLVANIA COUNTY by Maud Carter Clement, dated 1767, includes: Thomas "Waters", negro Lucy
Robt. Warters & Wm Warters are also on this list, presumably his brothers.

These entries are too late to be those of the elder William. One must be age 21 to own land so if this is the son he must have been born by 1746.

William & Hannah Waters. Two records from Halifax Co VA.
From Halifax Co VA DB 10, p.70 12 Mar 1776 Deed from Jacob Metcalfe & Hannah Waters, both of Halifax of one part to Caleb Dodson of the other part. Jacob Metcalfe & Hannah Waters are Excr & exctrx to the estate of John Davidson, dec'd. For 35£. Sold to Caleb Dodson a tract of 200 acres in Halifax, both sides of Jeremiah fork of Berches Creek ....[description of metes & bounds omitted] Hannah signed with her mark - an "H".
Wit: William Royale, Charles Wall, Thomas Hendrich, John Bates
[My note: one would assume that Hannah was either a daughter or the remarried widow of John Davidson since she was serving as an Executor. Also possibly a sister. Later records indicate she was his widow.]

From Halifax DB 11, p.152 17 Sep 1778 William Waters and Hannah his wife of the County of Fincastle [Kentucky] to Abraham Davidson of Pittsylvania Co for 65#s. 123 acres in Halifax on Jeremiah's Fork of Birches Crk. Signed: William (+) Waters, Hannah (H) Waters.

The spelling of the name was different in the memorandum - these are copies of the pages from the deed books.
Caleb Dodson in the above is a distant relative of the Dodsons found in Pittsylvania Co. He was born 1752 in Fauquier Co VA & died 1836 in Halifax.

Living in Halifax was a John Davidson who had a Will probated 15 Mar 1770. His wife was Hannah, apparently named in the will. No surname known. The following land records also link the McBees, Davidsons, Walters to Jeremiah's Fork of Birches Creek:
