I've been doing some cleanup on this article and don't have any idea why someone using only an IP address changed the infobox to say this man represented Botetourt County, hundreds of miles south from his native Berkeley County, and while a Berkeley County history says he was representing Berkeley county. I didn't remove it because I don't have access to Leonard's book right now to figure out who actually represented Botetourt County in that year.Jweaver28 (talk) 18:48, 3 January 2019 (UTC) Perhaps it's a different Edward R. Colston, who by 1850 also owned slaves, but in Rockbridge County, at the northern border of Botetourt county. Oddly, both Berkeley County and Botetourt County were named for the same man, Norborne Berkeley, Lord Botetourt and Virginia's governor 1768-1770.Jweaver28 (talk) 23:25, 3 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
