^NOTE: From Joyce Ubl (ubl@erols.com):

Judith evidently died before the middle of September of 1752 in Essex County, Virginia. Essex County Records, Order Book 18 (page 191) contains a motion made by John Fauntleroy on September 26, 1752, for the administration of the estate of Judith, his deceased wife. This was granted to him and it was ordered that Thomas Granger, James Trice, George Dabney, and William Dabney be sworn first in front of a Justice of King William County and sent to appraise the estate of Judith, the wife of John, formerly Juda Littlepage.
