Hi Ruth,

If you'd like to edit your question to fill in the missing information, we will give you a more complete answer.  In the meantime, here is what I can offer:

Please remove "British Colonial America," "British Colonial America," and other variants you find in the location data fields as as best representing how someone of that period and place would refer to where they live. Data field locations on Wikitree are entered on the basis of the timeframe they are from.

We have the Virginia Project for work on Virginia profiles (pre or post 1700), please join us if you have an interest in Virginia:

Please see our page for sourcing Virginia profiles here:

Here is info on Sarah Lea's birth and death counties:

Please feel free to add more county specific sources to the New Kent and York County pages if you have them.

Thanks.
