, folio1. Paymaster Alexander Boyd paid for Capt. John McNeill the £6 that McNeill borrowed from GW in January 1759 ( , folio 43).
2. GW was paying Miles Richardson a part of the pay due him as GW’s military servant in 1758 (ibid., 53).
3. Although the accounts of the two men in GW’s do not show the purchase of a horse by GW, Colonel Moore was probably Col. Bernard Moore (c.1720–1775), who was an early importer and breeder of race horses; but it may have been his brother Col. Thomas Moore (died c.1796). The two men were near neighbors on the Pamunkey River. See , 1:274.
