of Virginia in 1667. Judging by the age of their eldest child, Dorman Loughland
married Mary______ about 1667. In 1673, He purchased part of the original

Shortly before his death Dorman Loughland 511 acres in Jolly's Neck, Accomac County, from General John Custis of Arlington.
In his will, which was probated 28 Feb 1687/8, Dorman Loughland left his Northampton lands to his daughters, and his Accomac lands to his sons.(XV, p.339, Northampton, Co. Va. Wills) Mary Loughland, Dorman's widow married 2nd Charles Wresselland, and 3rd Walter Mannington.
