John Sheffield was born c. 1725 in Va.Someone in the past misread Va. to read Pa.It is not hard to confuse an old script V for P.People have been repeating this error for years.He came from the long line of Sheffields in Va.There was an older Adam in Prince George Co. and Surry Co. who was probably father, grandfather, or uncle to this John.The complete loss of the Prince George records in 1865 makes it impossible to prove Sheffield ancestry in Va.
