359The records of the Rochester family indicate that Nathaniel Frith ( Thrift) II was born in 1620 in James Towne. This would have made him the correct age to be one of the first settlers in Northern Neck. There was land purchased by Gideon Frith along Totuskey Creek in 1667. Joseph Frith in 1664 and Thomas Thrift in 1667 purchased lands in the area from original patents. Many of the records of land purchases were destroyed during Bacon's Rebellion, but clearly there is a preponderance of evidence that the Thrift family was investing heavily in land in this area during this period of time.
