Between 1975 and 1979 Ruth Leebrick Bruteau and her son, Frederic Bruteau, made several trips to Nelson County, Virginia, to gather information about the Ezra Zadock Leebrick family. In Lovingston, the Nelson County seat, they examined the records in the County Clerk's office and discovered various birth, marriage and death dates, and by talking with several of the oldest inhabitants they learned a number of things about life in that region during the youth of Ezra Leebrick.

For instance, in the small town of Norwood, where the Leebrick family had lived, a general grocery storekeeper, who had been born there in 1910 and had lived there all his life, described an interesting system of locks on the James River. The town was built near the river but had no convenient landing stage. A special kind of lock was constructed that permitted a boat to enter a narrow chamber, drawing enough water with it to lift the boat to a good height, after which the gate was closed behind it. The lock was on the side of the river and the boat could be approached from both sides of its narrow berth. This arrangement made it possible for a commercial boat, guided by tow lines drawn by horses from the towpath on the river bank, to stop at the town and conduct its daily business right from the boat itself. When the business day ended, the gate was opened, and the water rushed out, carrying the boat with it into the channel of the river again.

After these locks were constructed, constituting a new center of trade, the little town, which had been called Sleepy Hollow, acquired the new name New Market. (This is to be distinguished from a present day larger city named New Market). Later, when the railroad was built, around 1910, replacing the old towpath, the town was renamed again, this time taking the name it has now, Norwood.

After a sojourn in Oklahoma, the family moved to Kansas, and thence to Sturgeon, Missouri, where Permelia died of cancer, February 6, 1889.

Enlisted in the 6th Regiment, Virginia Infantry, Company I (Confederate). Rank in and out both Private. Wounded in thigh 1864.

"FUNERAL RITES SET FOR STABBED BOY -- Burial Follows Exoneration of Playmate, Jury Holding Death Was Accident. William Suddath, 15-year-old Gordon Junior High School student, who died Tuesday from a stab wound in the heart, accidentally inflicted by a neighboring playmate during a scuffle, was to be buried in Potomac, Md., today following services at 2 p.m. at the Potomac Methodist Church.
Rayburn Smallwood, 13, was exonerated yesterday of blame in the youth's death. A coroner's jury declared the fatal injury to be the result of an accident after hearing testimony by the Smallwood boy and two other neighborhood children, Frank and Virginia Leebrick, 1124 Thirty-sixth street.
Testimony showed Rayburn and Frank Leebrick had been teasing William by calling him "sissy" and "chew tobacco." When he caught young Smallwood on the rear steps of the Leebrick home, he sought vindication with his fists and the scuffle ensued. young Smallwood had a knife in one hand and a stick he had been whittling in the other. During the fight, the Suddath boy rushed against the knife, Rayburn told the coroner's jury. The jury freed the Smallwood youth after a short deliberation." 30 November 1935, Evening Star (Washington, DC)
