Richard's profile has a second wife... nee Blair. Do we know the mother of this Elizabeth was a Poythress?

ps. LDS "Pedigree Resource File" isn't a reliable source... it would need to be searched to see what source, if any, it cites.

record of marriage between William Poythress and Elizabeth Blair Bland, Feb. 10, 1787, in Bristol Parish register - see http://files.usgwarchives.net/va/lunenburg/vitals/marriages/lunmarr3.txt
Note - record might not be from Bristol Parish: "Marriages continues through the time of his rectorship in Bristol Parish, in Nottoway Parish and in Cumberland Parish. Reference to his change of office to Nottoway is made by his writing on the page preceding that which carries the title "A Register of Marriages for Bristol Parish," the following entry: "John Cameron Nottoway County January 28th, 1794" and "Cumberland Parish" is written boldly across the page at the point where his service begins in that parish.
