YEARS ago, I read a book by Anya Seton called "Devil Water". It was the fictionalized account of two real families, one of whom was the Radcliffes. The daughter of the last Earl of Radcliffe moved to Virginia, lived with the Byrd family (as in Westover Plantation), married a man from Scotland, and raised a family in "the hills". Would this be your connection?
Gotta find that book...!
