  General Notes:

Landon Rose Cabell, "the oldest child that lived," graduated in the Medical Department of the University of Pennsylvania in 1822; married, in January 1829, his cousin, Marion F. Cabell (111); lived, after his marriage, in Lynchburg, for a time, and later in Richmond. His wife died, without surviving issue, in December 1834. "After her death he went twice to Europe for his health. The last trip gave no relief, and he was advised by his physician in London to land in some Southern port, which he did, and traveled immediately to Texas, where he was so fortunate as to meet a friend and relative, Joseph C. Megginson (307), formerly of Nelson County, Va., who was with him at his death, and wrote his mother all the particulars."

Landon married Marion Fontain CABELL, daughter of Dr. George CABELL, Sr. and Sarah WINSTON. (Marion Fontain CABELL was born in 1809 and died in 1834.)
