1775-1803 British Mercantile Claims
Claims of James Ritchie & Company
[P . 86) Francis Gaines, Culpeper. £12.10.6-1/2, by judgment, Fredericksburg Store. He died in Culpeper
about 1776 and left a very good estate more than sufficient to pay his debts. His acting executor is his son
James Gaines, now of Culpeper County. The estate was distributed among the legatees shortly after the peace .
The executor himself seems anxious to pay the just demands of his testator but says he should not be indemnified by the legatees if he paid any except such as the law would compel him to pay.
