| Notes |
- For some reason there is much confusion in the minds of some researchers who say that Pierre Jr. became of age and was on the tithables on 1714 through 1719, and then apparently died.
Pierre Jr. was born in 1684 in London a year or so after his parents married. By 1710 he would have been old enough to have been on the first tithable list in his own right, so it seems evident that he too, died along with his father and brother Daniel during those first years.
Since 16 was the age when one was put on the tithe list, Jean Pierre (John Peter), who after the death of his older brother, Pierre Jr. dropped his first name to become know as "Peter Legrand" (and not picking up his brothers "jr") was definitely the son that had just turned 16 by 1710. John Peter, now just Peter Legrand was christened in 1697 making him turn 16 in 1713 just before the 1714 tithable date.
He was awarded 365 acres of land outside the French territory which would be in today's Chesterfield County. The land was located several miles south of the French line in Chesterfield County, on the main run of Swift Creek adjoining Richard Womack and Anthony Trabue and was actually awarded after his death. The Patent is dated 17 July 1718, Jacques LeGrand 365 acres..."Granted for the transportation of 8 persons to Virginia: Moses Levereau, Ury Levereau, Peter LeGrand Sr., Daniel LeGrand, Peter LeGrand Junr, James LeGrand, John LeGrand and John Peter LeGrand."
Why Judith's name appears as "Ury" is an enigma, but nicknames were popular at that time, so "Ury" or its weird variation "Vry" must have been a nickname or misread for Judy. James does not refer to her as his mother and Moses Levereau as his stepfather, so Judith married the other Huguenot as her second husband. She preceded Moses in death and he married his next door neighbor widow Jane Forcuron, who also became his widow.
John received his land from James since he was next in age and would be the eldest son after James died.
