From the "Abstracts of Cumberland County, Virginia Court Orders" book from June 1749 to May 1756 it is recorded " Ordered that the Church Wardens of King William Parish bind out Littlebery Epperson, Son of Williams Epperson." appears that William did not take care of Littleberry. Dated 2/23/1756

If the birth date of 1738 is correct then he would have been 18 yrs old.? kind of old to need care.
