"What had been spoken about John of the Spotswood family and others I found very contradictory information in all of the land transactions, too numerous to mention here, that John did not in fact abandon Mary and leave her destitute. It was Col Bernard Moore (the Spotswood boy's uncle) who left her destitute and left the two Spotswood boys at Eton College in England without funds from their father's estate.:
April 4, 1772. John Campbell and Mary, his wife, and Alexander Spotswood, Esqr., to Thomas Hutcherson, of Spts. Co. Lease. 200 a. "Sd. Hutcherson, his son, Wm., and his daughter, Sukey Hutcherson," etc. 1000 lbs. tob. Thos. Fox, James Allan, Philip Somerby, Ann Clark, Shadrock Moore, Nathl. Fox, John Taliaferro. Augt. 20, 1772.[1]
