-----------------------------------------------------
Richard Bush was indentured in Bristol, England to work for William Roberts in Virginia for four years.
Going to the records of Virginia we find William Roberts was granted land from 1652 to 1661 in Gloucester
and Northamption Counties, Virginia. From these land records it appears William Roberts had well over a 1,000 acres of land.
The part of Northhampton County where land was granted William Roberts was located on a peninsular
straight out from the mouth of the Rappahannock River.
Glouscester County, Virginia was located on the coast of the middle neck formed by the Rappahannock River
and the York River.
Essex County, Virginia where Richard Bush is found in 1689 is about 30-35 miles up this middle neck from where William Roberts was granted land.
CONCLUSION:
Richard Bush came from England in the early 1670s and worked for William Roberts for at least four years before being on his own.), property 04-20-1689 Piscataway Creek, VA, d. bet 10-20 &10-30-170 in Essex Co., VA (Will proven on 10-10-1700.), buried 10-00-1700 in VA, will 10-20-1700 in names 2 sons.

He was buried 02-1803 in Edgefield Co., SC, (per Gene Cato).
He moved to Dobbs County, N.C. about 1748, shortly after his father's death, and about 1770 to Edgefield County, S.C., where in a 1787 tax roll he was shown as owning 150 acres and one slave. In 1786 he was compensated for having supplied provision and forage for General Green's army from his plantation during the American Revolution. In 1795 Patience Hicks voluntarily apprenticed herself to "Richard Bush, Sr., Citizen of Edisto, Planter, Edgefield County, South Carolina," for seven years. He also owned property on 11-25-1756 in Duplin Co., NC. (From: Adell T. Prescott, Historian for Southern Branch of Prescott Family)

He owned property in 1769 in Old Dobbs Co., NC (Both Richard and Bibbee Bush appear next to each other on the tax list for old Dobbs in 1769 and a man called Bibb Bush was listed with Edward Carter's polls. We know from Edgefield County, SC, records that Bibbee Bush, son of Richard Bush, moved to Edgefield with his father. We know from Dobbs Deed Index and Voter Registrations [1779] that one Bibbee Bush was still residing in old Dobbs when it became Lenoir County. Deeds for the Bibbee Bush remaining in Lenoir continue through circa 1803.), He moved bef 1770 in Edgefield Co., SC (From: Gene Cato)

He was in the military abt 1775 in the Rev War (After serving as a soldier in the Rev. War, Richard moved to Edgefield Co., SC. A little later his brother, Bibby Sr., also moved to Edgefield Co..

Richard's brother, Bibby Sr., died about nine years later in 1812 in Edgefield Co., SC.
In 1786 he was compensated for having supplied provision and forage for General Green's army from his plantation during the American Revolution.
He is found in 1787 in Edgefield Co., SC (Edgefield County, S.C., where in a 1787 tax roll he was shown as owning 150 acres and one slave.)

If I am interpreting this correctly, the Whitfield's own land had been patented by William Smith and the land granted also joined Richard Bush and an Indian fork called Norquathtroka. Anyway, the old Dobbs Deed Index lists a deed from Richard Bush to William Whitfield [recorded DB 8, p. 82--such a shame the deeds are burned]. The time for the deed is estimated by archivists to have been around 1769-1771. He owned property in 1765 (Colony of NC Land Grants 1765-1775, Vol. 2A, 346, p. 197).
