The rumor that Richard Randolph of "Bizarre," Cumberland County, Va. murdered the infant child of his wife's sister (Ann Cary Randolph) and that he had allegedly fathered the child led to a hearing in Cumberland County, Va. The incident was known as the Bizarre Scandal and two novels, The Bizarre Sisters and Mistress Nancy, were written on the subject.
