      Both Richard2 and Richard3 Ferris were still living in March 1711, when Richard Ferris was a witness for Richard Ferris Jr. against Humphrey Smith.
      The proof or acknowledgement of a deed is noted in Henrico Co., Order Book 1719-1724, page 48, to Robert Childers, October 1720.This appears to be a portion of the patent mentioned above, dated 20 April 1685.
      Another portion of 100 acres of this patent was sold on 30 March 1720 to Richard Moor.This deed is signed "Richard Ferris Sr.," thus proving that Pichard Ferris2 was still living at the time.Richard Ferris2 may have died in the year 1725.Henrico Co., records are missing for that year.However, he was certainly dead by 1731 when James Hambleton sold one hundred acres at James Hambleton's old plantation, bounded by Richard Ferris Jr. and said Hambleton, which is presumed to the the same 100 acres which Richard Ferris2 sold to James Hambleton (probably father of the grantor of the 1731 deed), on 20 March 1687/88, bounded by Richard Ferris Jr. and said Hambleton.He was probably quite old, in his 80's, when he died.
