Continued: The 1810 Washington Co., VA census shows the household for John Stotts included males: 2 <10, 2 10-15, 1 26-44 and females: 2 <10, 2 10-15, 1 26-44. Consequently, John Stotts was born between 1765 and 1784 or about 1775 and his wife was also born about 1775. Some of his nearest neighbors included Richard Roberts, Jacob Stotts, Bazel Roberts and John Roberts. Since Stotts was an unusual name in the area, Jacob Stotts was likely a relative. His household consisted of 1 male 16-25 and 1 female 10-15. So, Jacob was born between 1785 and 1794 or about 1790 and his wife was born between 1794 and 1800 or about 1797. Since John Stotts was born about 1775 and Jacob Stotts was born about 1790, it is likely Jacob was the son or brother of John Stotts. The household for Richard Roberts included males: 3 <10, 1 = or >45 and females: 2 10-15, 2 16-25, 1 26-44, 1 = or >45. Consequently, Richard Roberts and his wife were both born before 1765. Another very near neighbor was Bazel Roberts. His household consisted of males: 1 <10, 1 26-44 and females 2 <10, 1 26-44. Consequently, Bazel and his wife were both born about 1775. Since Richard Roberts was born before 1765 and Bazel Roberts was born about 1775, Bazel was likely the son or brother of Richard Roberts.
