Capt. William Stone and John Brodnax

In 1687 a suit was brought between Capt. William Stone and John Brodnax, as to whether or not Brodnax could be compelled to pay 500 pounds of tobacco which he had lost in betting on the relative weight of gold and quicksilver. The judgment was rendered in an Henrico County Court House. Source: Henrico Minute Book 1682-1701, page 163.
