HALIFAX COUNTY VIRGINIA CHANCERY SUIT
Contributed by Faye R. Tuck Abstracted and Transcribed by J.C.Kolbe
As stated previously chancery suits may open many genealogical doors for researchers. The following material is particularly important as it provides wills for King & Queen County, a burned record area. The petition and contributors notes have been abstracted while the enclosed wills have been transcribed ver batim.
To the Honorable judge of the Circuit Court For the county of Halifax
Your orators Leonard Carlton in his own right and as Exor. of William Carlton the younger and Alexander Dudley, admr. of Elizabeth and James H. Crittenden, represent to the court that William Carlton, the elder, late of the county of King & Queen, died about the year 1812 leaving a widow elizabeth Carlton and eleven children to wit: your orater Leonard Carlton, William Carlton, Elizabeth, Isaac, John, Thomas, Polly, Nancy, Susanna, Ann Eliza, and Catherine Carlton;
31
that he also left lands and slaves, and by his will directed that his wife "should have the dower in his estate" and devised his lands to his three sons Isaac, John and Thomas subject to hi^ wife's dower. The testator then directed that all the rest of his estate "including his x^^if e ' s dower" should go to all his children, naming them; a copy of which said will is herewith filed as a part of this bill. Under said will one third of the lands and slaves of the testator was assigned to the widow for life, and the construction put upon the will was, that, at the death of the said widow, the dower lands went to the three sons, Isaac, John, and Thomas Carlton, and her thirds in the slaves to all the children in equal shares. The said Elizabeth Carlton, the widow, afterwards married a certain Anthony Hart of Halifax and removed to the county with the slaves allotted to her as aforesaid. The said Isaac Carlton died and by his will gave his interest in the dower land and slaves to his brother Thomas Carlton and after \jards the said Thomas and John Carlton conveyed their interests in the dower slaves to the said Anthony Hart and Elizabeth his wife in consideration of their interest in the dower lands. Subsequent to this transaction the said Hart and his wife entered into articles of separation by which the said Hart secured to his wife all her interest in the slaves aforesaid, as well that acquired by purchase from John and Thomas Carlton as that acquired by the will of her former ■ husband . Afterwards the said Anthony Hart died leaving the said Elizabeth still surviving who held all the dower slaves under the articles aforesaid untill her death which occured in the year. Of the said slaves
and their increase there were at the death of the said Elizabeth Hart nine in number, to wit, Philip, Jacob, Edmund, Churchill, Alcey & child Ellick, Mary, Fanny, and Catherine A certain William Dew became the admr. of the said Elizabeth Hart and took possession of all the slaves and continues to hold them.
Polly Carlton married Isaac Hart of this county who survived her and is long since dead, and Elisha Barksdale is his adm. d.b.n.; the said Nancy married Josiah Owen died, and her husband survived her and is her admr.; the said Susanna married Toliver Trent and
32
died and her husband survived her and is her admr., the said Ann Eliza married Nathaniel M. Lovelace, the said Catherine William W. Mc Haney, the said Wm . Carlton the younger is dead and your orator Leonard Carlton is her exor, the said Elizabeth married James H. Crittenden both of whom are dead - the said Elizabeth having died first - and your orator Alexander Dudley the admr. of each of them.
They charge that the said William Dews, who has no more right to hold said slaves than either of the joint owners, refuses to deliver them up for a division or sale, as they probably can not be divided in kind.
In the name of God Amen, I William Carlton of the County of
King and Queen being sick but of sound mind do make and ordain this writing to be my last will and Testament.
First. It is my will that all my debts be paid. Secondly It is

But in case the said deed should not be executed to my said Sons before my death then and in that case It is my will and desire that the Deed may be made not with standing my death to the said William and Leonard Carlton which I design as their portion of my lands .
I give unto my three Sons Isaac, John and Thomas Carlton the land and plantation where I live subject to my wife's dower to them Si their heirs forever
All the rest of my estate including my wife's dower I give and bequeath to my children, William, Leonard, Isaac, John, Thomas, Elizabeth, Polley, Ann Aliza, Nancy, Catherine and Susanna Carlton to be equally divided between them to them and their heirs forever.

BOOK REVIEWS
Surry County, Virginia Court Records 1652-1663 by Weynette Parks Haun. Once again Mrs. Haun has scored a triumph with this excellent transcription of the first record book of Surry County. It is an invaluable source of information to genealogical researchers south of the James River and is one of the earliest surviving record books for the Southside.
This book is a verbatim transcription of the original, thus the nuances and pecularities of early colonial record keeping are captured and many subtle genealogical hints which are lost in an abstract are available to the researcher.
There is a thorough name and place index and individuals' marks are reproduced for additional purposes of identification. This is a most respectable and highly recommended work.
Stapled soft cover, 170 pages, $20.00 postpaid (NC residents add 5% sales tax).
To order: Weynette Parks Haun, 243 Argonne Drive, Durham, NC 27704.

This covers material on the families of Sanders, Christmas, Glenn, and Sims from the Virginia counties of Hanover and Louisa. Information on the Smith and Ferress family of Henrico County , Virginia is also contained in this book .

THE BRANCH FAMILY OF CHESTERFIELD COUNTY
contributed by Gary Williams transcribed by L.H.Hart
The following is a transcription of the plaintiff's bill in a chancery suit Branch v. Branch located in the Dead Papers of Chesterfield County.
To the worshipful Court of Chesterfield County sitting in chancery - Humbly complaining
sheweth unto your worships your orator Benjamin Branch that some time in the
year of our Lordl6 Christopher Branch one of your orar's paternal ancestors
being possessed of a considerable real Estate, departed this life having first
made & duly published his last will & Testament in writing bearing date the 20
June 1678 wherein among other things he devised unto his grandson Benjamin Branch
your orar's grandfather, in fee tail, all the land thatlies between Jacks Bottom
& Proctor's Creek, beginning at Proctor's Creek, & running upwards to his son
Thomas's Land, and the said Testator moreover in his said Will devisd unto his
grandson Samuel Branch (of whom Christopher Branch the defendant to this bill
is heir at Law) in feetail, all the land that lyeth between the long slash &
Jacks' Bottom, aforesd, beginning at Proctor's Creek & running upwards to his
son Thomas's Land, as by the said will of record in the county court of Henrico
Si to which yr. oror. begs leave to refer may more fully appear and your orator
further sheweth unto your worships that he is the eldest Son & heir at Law of
Benjamin Branch, who was eldest son & heir at Law of Benjamin Branch to whom
the devise in Tail aforesd was made and your orator further complaining sheweth
unto your worships that some time in the year of our Lord 17 your orar's aforesd
father & one Henry Branch father of the said Deft. Christopher & heir at law
of the foresd. Samuel Branch as no Line dividing the sd. entailed Lands between
them or any of the other tenants in tail had been made undertook to divide the
land and regardless of the will & appointment of their ancestor the Testator
aforesd. divided the said Lands, as your orar. expressly charges & doubts not
but he shall prove, in such a manner, as that Henry Branch the said Defendants
aforesd. father had at least acres more than upon a fair Partition would
have fallen to his Lot, or than the Testator aforesd. intended should have been contained in that Division of the sd. land and you orar. well hoped that as this Transaction could not in justice affect the heirs in tail, that the said deft, would not have insisted on the Partition aforesd. but would have submitted to
51
a fair & just Division of the said Lands according to the will & Intention of their ancestor the aforesd. Testator, as in equity & good conscience he ought to have done: But now so it is may it please yr. worships that the sd. Deft. Christopher Branch confederating & c. how to injure & oppress your orar. hath absolutely refrs'd to rectify the Error, or fraud in the Division afores'd, & continues to make use of the timber & Land, which of right should have been in Possession of your Oror. & which the sd. Deft, occupies only in consequence of the aforesd. iniquitous Partition; giving out in speeches that as the Division abovementioned was made by the consent of your orar's father, it ought to be binding & conclusive upon your orator - all which actings & Doings are manifestly contrary to equity & good conscience & have a direct tendency to the Injury & oppression of your oror. -In tender consideration whereof and for as much as your oror. is without remedy by the strict rules of the Common Law & is only relieveable in this worshipful court in chancery where matters of this sort are properly cognizable. To the End therefore that the said Defendant & his confederates when discovered [ ] upon their corporal oaths full true & perfect answer made(?) to all & singular the Premises, as if the same were herein repeated & interrogated, but more particularly that the said Deft. Christopher Branch may set forth & discover whether Christopher Branch the Testator herein before mentioned did not make such last will & Testament as in before mentioned, containing such particular Bequests as are herein before set forth? Whether your orar. is not heir at law at law of Benjamin Branch the devisee in tail before mentioned? Whether the said Deft, is not the heir at law of Saml. Branch the other Devisee in tail before mentioned? Whether there was not such Division of- the sd. entailed Lands between your orars. father Si the father of the sd. Deft, as is herein before mentioned? Or any other & what Division of the said Lands? and that proper persons may be appointed by this worshipful court to divide the said entailed Lands between yr. oror. & the sd. Deft, according to the true Intent & meaning of the will aforesd. May it please your Worships to grant unto yr. oror. his majesties most gracious writ, of Spa. to be directed to the sd. Deft. Christopher commanding him Si c. and your oror. is duty bound Si c.

MOODY vs. RAGSDALE, MECKLENBURG JUDGMENTS 1826 by Susan Bracey Sheppard
This is a transcription of the legible portion of a bill in chancery and docket of a Mecklenburg County suit found in Box 27A.
To the worshipful court of Mecklenbg County in chancery sitting humbly complaining shew unto your worships your orators Arthur Moody, William Moody and Miles Hall that some time in the year 1793 a certain John Ragsdale made and published his last will by which he devised all his Estate after the payment of his debts to his wife Frances Ragsdale during the term of her life and after her death to be equally divided among all his children, which will more ful[ly] appear by reference to said will which is here to. annexed as a part of this bill. That the said Frances Ragsdale departed this life in the year [ blank] and that the children of said John Ragsdale entitled to said Estate at the death of his wife were, Drury Ragsdale, Cornelius Ragsdale, John Ragsdale, Joda Harris wife of Sherwood Harris, Tabby Mealer wife of Nicholas Mealer, Rachael Rolin wife of Richard Rolin, Robert Ragsdale, and Martha Burton wife of Hutchins Burton but Martha Burton has since departed this life leaving the following children and heirs, John, Rachael, Samuel, Amos, Sally, Martha, Frances and Susanna Burton. That the said John ragsdale died seized of a Tract of Land in this County to which his children aforesaid were entitled equally at the death of their mother Frances Ragsdale. That Nicholas Mealer and Tabitha his wife by deed execu[ted] the 8th day of January 1817, conveyed to your orators Arthur Moody and Miles Hall her the said Tabithas portion of the aforesaid tract of Land of which said John Ragsdale her father died seized, which will more fully appear by reference to said deed which is here to annexed as a part of said bill That your orator Wm Moody purchased it ^iii AiiMi: t'ixtif i tit^i $itt l^f Hii mHiii iti ntt it tii l$n by deed bearing date the 12th of February
109
1817 the interests of Drury Ragsdale, John Ragsdale and Hutchens Burton husband of Martha Burton, in the said Tract of Land, which will more fully appear by reference to the said deed which is also hereto annexed as a fact of this bill. That said Cornelius Ragsdale and Frances his wife by deed executed the 11th Novr. 1816 conveyed to Robert Boyd all their title and interest in the tract of Land aforesaid. That the said Robert Boyd and Tabitha his wife by deed executed the 8th day of January 1817 conveyed to said Arthur Moody and Miles Hall all interest in the said Tract of Land which they derived under the last deed refered to, and the said Miles Hall and Arthur Moody by Deed executed the 17th of May 1817 conveyed to your Orator Wm Moody all interest in the same vested in them by the deed from Robert Boyd before refered to, all of which will more fully appear by reference to to [sic] the several deeds Cornelios Ragsdale to Robert Boyd, Robert Boyd & wife to Arthur Moody and Miles Hall, and Arthur Moody and Miles Hall to your Orator Wm Moody which are hereto annexed as a part of this bill. Your Orator Wm Moody further states that the heirs and children of Martha Burton have also by deed bearing date the 21st April 1817 conveyed all their titles [?] and interst to and in the said tract of Land which deed is also annexed as a part of this bill. So it appears that your Orators Arthur Moody and Miles Hall are entitled to one ^ii^tTfi Eighth parts. Your Orators therefore pray that Drury Ragsdale, Cornelius Ragsdale, John Ragsdale, Sherwood Harris and Joda his wife, Nicholas Mealer and Tabby his wife, Richard Rolin and Rachael his wife, Robert Ragsdale, Hutchins Burton the husband of Martha Burton and John, Rachael, Samuel, Amos, Sally, Martha, Frances, and Susanna Burton chil[dr]en and heirs of said Martha Burton and the said Robert Boyd may b[ ] defts to this bill That they may be compelled true answer to make to the several allegations therein contained. That commissioners may be appointed for the purpose of making a division of the tract of Land aforesaid among the parties respectively entitled thereto; and fimally that your worships will [ ] such other and further decree in the premises

as Equity may require to award process &.
[To Such ?] may it please your worships

STURDIVANT FAMILY by C.T.Smith Jr.
This study of the Sturdivant family was undertaken to ascertain the parentage of Sarah, the wife of James Thweatt (1 722-c . 1 755 ) , son of John Thweatt and Judith Peterson. According to the descendants of her children who moved to Georgia, she was a Sturdivant. She was still living in Virginia in 1804 when on 22 Feb. of that year, her grandson John Thweatt in Hancock County, Georgia, deeded to his two first cousins John Hamilton Jr. and Duke Hamilton his expectation from her dower. No clue has been found as to where Sarah fits in the Sturdivant family. It may be significant that in the names of her children, Thomas and Tabitha appear in the Thweatt family for the first time. An account of the immediate descendants of James and Sarah Thweatt appears in Historical Southern Families, Vol. I by John B. Boddie (1957).
The founder of the Sturdivant family in Virginia was John Sturdivant who first appeared in the extant records in 1652 when he received a grant of land in Henrico. His antecedents are not known. The surname is English. The only family of the name to appear in the visitations of the various English shires is that of Sturdivant of Nowell, in the Visitations of Nottingham 1569- 1614, published by the Harlean Society of London. Their arms were described as: gules, a lion rampant, argent; a border of the last; charged with eight arrows, sable. In this pedigree, the given names of John and William predominate. In addition, the International Genealogical Index lists many Sturdivant entries for the county of Nottingham, but none with any immediate reference to the man who came to Virginia. Hotten lists a Roger Sturdivant age 21 who sailed for Virginia in the "Bona Venture" in 1634. At the time, Virginia was loosely applied to any destination in the new world. Roger settled in the Barbadoes where his will, dated 1650, mentioned wife Dorothy and sons John and Roger. In
125
the will, he referred to himself as the oldest son of John Sturdivant of the parish of Chippin in county Lancaster, England. According to the parish register of Chippin, filed in the IGI, Roger was christened in 1612. No relationship between this Roger and John Sturdivant of Virginia has been found. Nor does John appear to be related to Mary Sturdivant who was listed as a headright by Laurence Baker in Surry County, Va. in 1665, or to Thomas Sturdivant who was a headright of Edward Rogers and Charles Hoyle in Stafford in 1669. These two are the only other persons of the name who appear in the early land patents. Of more interest, as John had a son by that name, is the appearance of a Daniel Sturdivant as a juror in Surry Co. 29 Oct. 1663. There is no other reference of any kind to this Daniel. On 8 Dec. 1664, during John Sturdivant's active period in Charles City, the court ordered William sturdivant to pay a sum to John Beauchamp, merchant. As William does not appear again in any other contemporary record, this may represent a clerical error, and the name John intended.
On 23 Feb. 1652, John Sturdivant and Christopher Robinson secured a grant of 600 acres in Henrico, upon the head of the eastern run of Swift Creek, "knoxijn by the name of Mr. Hatcher's run." This land was in the present Chesterfield County. In the grant, neither man was credited for his own adventure and John does not appear as a headright in an}^ other land grant. Sturdivant and Robinson did not develope the property, and in 1671, the patent having lapsed, the 600 acres was included in a larger grant to Henry Randolph. Joint grants rarely indicated a relationship. By 1663, Robinson had died and his widow had married Francis Burrell. On 31 August of that year, Burrell gave bond for his performance as Robinson's administrator and John Sturdivant was one of the men who inventoried the property put up security for the bond.
Early in 1659, John Sturdivant appeared on a jury in Charles City County, his first appearance in the records since the 1652 grant and his first appearance in Charles City. By 14 Sept. 1660, he had married Sarah Hallom, the widow of Samuel Woodward. On that date the Charles City court granted him a "quietus" on the estate of Samuel Woodward, as he had given bond for the overplus for the use of the orphans, and released him from the administration obtained by his wife in her widowhood. Sarah, as relict, had been granted administration on Woodward's estate on 3 Feb. 1658. Sarah Hallom Woodward was the daughter of Robert Hallom who at one tim.e owned Turkey Island on the James River, for many years the principal residence of the Randolph family. On 10 Aug. 1654 in Henrico County, Samuel and Sarah Woodward sold to William Edwards, one third of a thousand acres at Turkey Island, that Sarah had inherited from her father. Robert Hallom married about 1636, Anne, the widow of John Price. On Hallom's death, she married thirdly, Daniel Llewellyn, a prominent early

At the time of Bacon's rebellion in 1676, Charles City and Henrico were Virginia's western frontier. Nathaniel Bacon himself was a resident of Henrico. Substantial people in the area, including William Byrd I of Westover, were among his supporters. So was John Sturdivant. It is not clear how deep was his involvement in the rebellion. He was mentioned frequently in the petition of grievances from the residents of Charles City to the commission sent out from London late in 1676 to investigate the causes of the uprising. Col. Edward Hill was Sir William Berkeley's main supporter in Charles City. The governor had ordered him to seize the persons of several Bacon men, among them John Sturdivant, and to secure their property. These men later claimed that Col. Hill had extorted bribes from them to plead their cause with the government, concealing the fact that both the King and Berkeley had already issued a pardon. In Col. Hill's emotional defence before the commissioners, he particularly singled out John Sturdivant, saying Sturdivant should be made to swear that
127
he had "been out to gratify my wife for begging his life", that
he had "made an offer of I know not what" and that he had voluntarily
given Hill 5 hogsheads of tobacco out of gratitude. At one
point in the hearings, Judith Randolph testified that xi/hile
she was at the house of John Sturdivant, she had heard John
Pygott curse those who would not swear loyalty to Nathaniel
Bacon .

k May, 1752 John Mander and Llewellyn Sturdivant witnessed a deed in Halifax. On 17 Nov. 1764 Llewellyn sold 250 acres to David Holloway of Surry. This land was located near the present town of Scotland Neck in the eastern part of the county. There is no further reference to Llewellyn Sturdivant in the records and he evidently moved away. Biggin Sturdivant, on 7 Sept. 1757, bought 50 acres near Dry Pond Swamp near the present site of Weldon and twenty miles from where Llewellyn had settled. Biggin's will, dated 9 May 1771, and probated in November of the same year, devised all his estate to his wife, Sarah. She left a will in Halifax, dated 8 Dec. 1781, and probated in 1783, in which she left her property to her grandson John Mander. It will be noted a person of that name witnessed a deed with Llewellyn Sturdivant in 1752. John Mander was living in Northampton Co., acrossthe Roanoke from Halifax at the time his grandmother died.
Chichester Sturdivant appeared in the rent roll of 1704 with 214 acres. He may well have been named for a family connection of John Sturdivant's back in England. There was a family by this name in Virginia but they did not live near the Charles City area and had no association with John. On 23 Mar. 1715, as Chichester Sturdivant of Prince George County, he was granted 230 acres on the Nottoway at Three Creeks in Surry. Four years later, he and his wife Elizabeth sold this land to John Denton. According to the Bristol Parish vestry book, he was declared levy free in 1727, indicating Chichester was old or infirm at that time. This may explain why on 8 May 1728 he deeded his sons Thomas and John each 100 acres. The tracts adjoined and the bounds mentioned Madam Boilings new house and the west side of City Creek. The deeds were witnessed by James Thweatt and Daniel Sturdivant. On Sept. 28,1728 Chichester Sturdivant received a grant in Prince George of 375 acres on the north side of White Oak Swamp adjoining Robert West, Wigg Island, and Peterson's line. This land later fell in Dinwiddie County. John Sturdivant, son of Chichester, cannot be differentiated from contemporaries of the same name. His son Thomas Sturdivant and his wife Mary had a daughter Elizabeth, born in 1727. He was involved in a suit in Prince George in 1738. There is no record of him after this dat e .
Daniel was the oldest son of John and Sarah Sturdivant and born not long after his parents marriage in 1660. In 1681, he witnessed the will of Henry Briggs in Surry. In June of 1694, in Charles City, Peter, an Indian of Daniel Sturdivant was judged to be 5 years old. In a 1722 Prince George deed from Hill to Stainback, reference is made to a tract purchased by John Hill,Sr. of Daniel Sturdivant on 1 Jan. 1701. He appears in the rent roll of 1704 with 850 acres. He very likely had sons James, Daniel, and John. There were Sturdivants with these names who proce s sess ioned land in the same area in Bristol Parish at various times from 1727 to 1751. The area processioned was in the vicinity of John Sturdivant's original settlement on City Creek. On 7 Mar. 1760,
129
James Sturdivant sold 340 acres, where the said James lived, to Burwell Green, the property being bounded by the west side of City Creek. Patsy Lanier in 1789 sold a moiety of a tract on City Creek that she had inherited from her brother James Green in 1781, bounded by John Sturdivant and others. On 17 Aug. 1725 Daniel Sturdivant was granted 400 acres in Prince George on the lower side of the main fork of Deep Creek. According to the Executive Journals of the Council on 12 Dec. 1733, Daniel and James Sturdivant obtained 800 acres in Prince George between the Deep Creek and Seller's Fork, to include 400 acres formerly granted Daniel Sturdivant, one of the petitioners. It is not known if Daniel and James were father and son or brothers. This grant was in what later became Dinwiddle County. Births of the children of James Sturdivant and his wife Mary and of Daniel and his wife Sarah appear in the Bristol Parish Register. In the same register, a Daniel Sturdivant was declared dead 21 Jan. 1798.
Three Sturdivant generations, possibly steming from the Daniel above, are revealed in a series of deeds in Prince George County in 1792. On 5 April of that year, Thomas Daniel sold to Benjamin Edwards land on the south side of Second Swamp, bounded by Sturdivant's line. Four days later, on 9 April, John Sturdivant and wife Ann traded Benjamin Edwards 15 acres on their respective lines. The following day, Benjamin Edwards and wife sold to John Sturdivant, son of Daniel, 31 acres adjoining the said John. On the same date John Sturdivant gave his son James Sturdivant, Jr., 30 acres, being part of the tract where John lived, bounded by the Hazelnut Branch and Benjamin Edwards. There were no witnesses to these deeds. The mention of Second Swamp calls to mind the 1663 grant in that area to John Sturdivant, the immigrant. According to Cameron's register, James Sturdivant, who seems to be the one in the 1792 deed, married Patsey Birchette 22 Jan. 1788. She was the daughter of Robert - Birchette Sr., a member of a family long settled in Prince George. In a deed, dated 14 Sept. 1790, and with a touch of humor, Robert Birchette, "tobacco inspector" deeded to James Sturdivant, "tobacco picker", for 150 pounds paid by James Sturdivant Jr., a tract of 333 acres Birchette had bought from William Poythress earlier that year. Two children of James and Patsy Sturdivant appear in the Bristol Parish register; Nathaniel Birchett, born 7 Mar. 1790 and Robert s., born 9 jan. 1792. Nothing more is known of Robert. Nathaniel B. Sturdivant was clerk of Prince George court from circa 1820 to 1837. According to a genealogical article in "The Richmond Standard" of 16 April 1881, Nathaniel B. Sturdivant married Lucy Ann, born in 1799, daughter of John and Hannah (Sampson) Gilliam. She married second the Rev. N.A.Okeson of Norfolk. Nathaniel and Lucy Sturdivant had a son John who married Mary Woodley and had sons John Woodley and William Gilliam Sturdivant .
Joel Sturdivant, son of a John and Mary Sturdivant, was born 18 May, 1732. He became an officer in the Virginia Navy during the Revolution and died in service. His only child, Jane,

Of these Martha married Stanfield Coleman and had only- one child. Frances married Isham E. Dabney and secondly Robert Lanier but had no children by either husband. JOhn Pegram Jr. married in Greensville in 1822, Martha Thweatt Goodwyn, the daughter of Esau Goodwyn and Patsy Tucker. Esau is thought to have been the son of Joseph Goodwyn and Martha Thweatt. The 1860 wills of John and Martha Pegram are on file in Dinwiddle.

Their family cemetery in an open field near Dinwiddle Court House, Is described in the D.A.R. cemetery survey of that county. There are few tombstones and the list of person burled there was probably obtained from family members and the accuracy cannot be verified. James and Mary Sturdivant, from this source, had a large family. Listed are sons: James, Daniel, John, Henry, William, Manlove, and Nlmrod. The duaghters were Elizabeth, Martha, and Josephine. From other records, Daniel married Betsy Lanier in 1827 and Henry married Jane Hawkins in 1840. Elizabeth T. Sturdivant married Lewis Parham Lanier in 1835. He was born in 1788 and died In 1853.

Henry Fleet 26 day of November 1735 Intails lands and ann annexes Slaves thereto on Samuel Hinton and the heirs male of his body.
Samuel Hinton the tenenant in Taile was Seized of the land and possessed of the Slaves that on the third day of April 1771 he published his will, and divised to his wife for her life the one half of the Slaves that he died Shortly thereafter and his will is recorded in June 1771
Samuel Hintons widow held possession of the Slaves untill her death which happened in the year 1799
Richard Hinton the heir at law of the Said Samuel was Seized or the land and possessed of the other half of the Slaves and died Seized and possessed thereof in the year 1779 Intestate leaving the present plaintiffs and William Hinton his heir at law, that the whole of the Slaves came into his possession

Suit in Lancaster Court determined in 17 Nover. 1802
Covination[?] between Dance & deft. 27 day of Sept. 1802
Law turning estates taille into estates in fee passed 1776
1st
Richard Hinton was possessed of the Slaves as absolute ownership under the law
of 1776, chancery[?]revil[ ?]45.
His right as heir not affected by the divise of Samuel Hinton to his wife for
149
her life of a moiety of the Slaves
Tenant intail cannot divise the estate taille. The widow of Samuel Hinton could [ ?] divisee take the moiety of the Slaves vide 2 Bacon[?] page 266 the Slaves therefore was to be divided according to the statute of distributions of intestates estates
Points relyed on by the defendant 1st Statute of limitations pleas[?] in bar
The purchaser of property only acquires that title which is in him under whom he claims.
The Statute cannot aid the defendant because he knew the title he was purchasing
William Hinton under whom he claims held the estate under the law as trustee for the joint befefit of all his brothers and sisters 3 Bacon[?] page 510
It is not competent to him or those claiming in his right under him to set up a title from length of possession
Because his possession was constructively speaking the legal possession of all the brothers and sisters.
But it is said to be a hostile possession, it could not be hostile because there were infants intr[ ]tred as coheirs who were infants at the time the descent was cast upon them against whom the Statute never could have a commemment and consequently upon that principle could not run, and to who could do no act on their part to change th.^ possession of a trustees into a controverted or hostile possession Statute cannot apply because the Slightest admission of right will take the case out of the Statute if it ever had applied see the evidence of Matthew Dance and James [
2nd . ]
The gift of the Slaves from Samuel Hinton to his wife can have no effect
Because Samuel Hinton the tenant in tail has only a life estate and consequently could not [illegible] any right to his wife by his will. She therefore under the will could acquire no title. 3rdly
150
That the heir at law had a right to the Slaves and to account with the other
legatees for their appraised value see old law[?] [] 166 Suit [?] 34.35 page
23 suit [?] 10
Admit that he had the right under the law. it was necessary he should
do some act declaratory of that intention to accept the right
and as the intent was not expressed by William Hinton himself it is
now too late for the defendant to Shelter himself under this pretext
when he has himself defeated William Hintons admor. upon the Same ground
The coheirs had either a right to the [ ] portions of the value of
of the Slaves or a part of the Slaves themselves: they have not received
their full portion of either.
admit for argument sake the heirs have a right to the Slaves but is
bound to account for their value to the other distributees.
are they not bound in the hands of a purchaser with a full knowledge
of the facts for the raliable [ ], the other children, and can the
heir make a Sale of them to defeat the claims of the other heirs
But the heir at law has no right to the Slaves he has done no act declaratory
of his intent to elect the right the law gave him
nor have the coheirs done any thing on their part to compell to make
such election
it then follows that the Slaves remaining undivided in the hands of
the administrator were the joint property of all the heirs and they
consequently entitled to an equal division
4th

THE TRUE ANCESTRY OF REV. DOZIER THORNTON by Michael Pollock
The South can be a very difficult and frustrating region for genealogical research because of widespread destruction of its early records by both man and nature. . As a result genealogists are sometimes forced to rely upon family traditions. However, there is too great a tendency to accept these traditions uncritically, particularly when these traditions either claim prestigious ancestry or support the inclinations of descendants to claim such. There is a danger in this, even when normal rules of evidence, such as the "grandfather rule" observed by the DAR for many years, would seemingly convey such traditions a certain air of truth. An excellent example of this is the family traditions concerning the ancestry of Rev. Dozier Thornton (1755-1843).
To the best of my knowledge the first account of this family was by Rev. James H. Campbell, a sketch of Rev. Thornton in his Georgia Baptists; Historical and Biographical (1847), pages 93-9. According to Rev. Campbell, Dozier Thornton was born 14 April 1755 in Lunenburg County, Virginia, the son of Mark Thornton and his wife Susannah, daughter of Leonard Dozier. Although Rev. Campbell did not identify Susannah's mother, descendants have presumed she was Ann Gayle, as shown in DAR applications for membership. Because this sketch was published just four years after Dozier's death, one is tempted to believe this information was collected first-hand and was fact. Was it?
)S. '■■
For the sake of discussion, let us suppose that the "softest"
facet of this Thornton tradition was the place of Dozier's birth.
Do the Lunenburg County records support the tradition? As a matter
of fact, they do. A Mark Thornton appeared in the tithes of Cumberland
Parish, Lunenburg County, Virginia, in 1748, was missing in 1749-
50, then re-appeared in 1751, when he also purchased land. There
is, however, nothing in these records to substantiate this Mark
162
was the father of Dozier Thornton. Evidence of this comes from the 1771 tax list of Bute County, North Carolina. This tax list cannot be taken as proof positive because the relationship between Mark and Dozier Thornton, though appearing in the same household, can only be surmised, and there is no direct confirmation in the Bute County records that this family came from Lunenburg County, Virginia. Even so, the first reference in Bute County in 176^^ to one Mark Thornton, "Junior," presumed to have been a brother of Dozier, identified him as a resident of Lunenburg County, and the movement of other Lunenburg families to Bute County is well documented. In fact, when it was initially created in 1764, Bute County had a common border with Lunenburg County. Furthermore, Mark Thornton sold all his property in Lunenburg County and disappeared from its records in 1767. Granted there were other Thorntons- in Bute County who had preceded Mark's family there by more than 20 years, that family did not use the name Mark. Thus, there is no apparent reason to doubt Dozier Thornton's family moved from Lunenburg County, Virginia to Bute County, North Carolina circa 1767.
That 1767 deed in Lunenburg County does, however, raise again the question of whether Dozier Thornton was the son of Mark and Susannah, for the deed identified Mark's wife as Elizabeth. Could that Mark have been a different man? Probably not. Why? The description of the property purchased in 1751 matched the land sold in 1767, strongly suggesting the same man was party to both. The land could have been sold by a different man only if the original owner was dead or had given his power of attorney. There is nothing in the records of either Lunenburg County or Bute County to support either theory. Furthermore, assuming as we must that the original owner was Dozier Thornton's father, why then wasn't Dozier Thornton a party to the deed if his father was indeed dead?
Can this contradiction between the deed and Rev. Campbell be explained by Susannah's death and Mark's subsequent marriage
163
to Elizabeth? No. The will of Leonard Dozier in Lunenburg County, probate in 1785, mentioned his daughter Susannah Barry. Thus, if we accept Rev. Campbell's account totally, Susannah survived Mark and not vice versa.
Because Rev. Campbell contradicts both the 1767 deed and Leonard Dozier's will of 1785, we must examin his sketch more fully. According to the register of North Farnham Parish, Richmond County, Virginia, Susannah Dozier was born 16 November 1739. If Rev. Campbell was correct as to the date of Dozier Thornton's birth, Susannah would have been only 15 at that time. While not impossible, marriage at the early age this suggests was unusual, and the only record of a marriage in either Richmond or Lunenburg Counties for (a) Susannah Dozier was not to a Thornton, nor for that matter to a Barry, but to a Thomas Roberts in Lunenburg County on 12 December 1766, with (a) Leomard Dozier acting as surety. Leonard gave no consent, but then his own daughter would have been well past the age of consent, so this marriage by itself
proves nothing. However, the marriages of his children as identified
I m his will were all within a few years of this marriage. That
strongly suggests it was his own daughter, his will notwithstanding
(for no record of her subsequent marriage to Barry has been found),
who married Thomas Roberts.
From this it is now certain that Dozier Thornton was not the son of Susannah Dozier, at least not the Susannah born in 1739. Was he the son of Elizabeth? Who was Elizabeth?
Evidence suggests that she was Elizabeth Dozier, the daughter of a Leonard Dozier, but a Leonard who died intestate in Richmond County, Virginia, about 1733, and the father of Leonard Dozier of Lunenburg County. The will of Leonard's wife, Elizabeth (Ingo) (Ascough) Dozier, dated 7 May and probated k July 1748, Richmond County, mentioned her daughter Elizabeth Thornton. DAR membership records have claimed this Elizabeth as the patriot widow of Thomas Thornton of Richmond County, but close examination of Richmond
16A
County records prove that x^oman's maiden name to have been Davis (see Marriages of Richmond _£o un Jt y _j__ V i rginia, 166 8 -1 8 5^ 3 ) , George H.S. King, page 214).
The date of Elizabeth's birth is not known, although it appears to have been circa 1715. Her mother's will apparently named the children in the order of their birth, with Elizabeth being the sixth. DAR records of brother Leonard, named fourth in the will, place his birth as 1710. Since we know Leonard Dozier, Senior, and Elizabeth Ingo were married after the death of her first husband, Thomas Ascough, in 1701, neither child's birthdate seems unreasonable, nor is Elizabeth (Dozier) Thornton's birthdate out-of-line with the apparent birthdate of 1733 of her eldest child.
The date of Mark Thornton's birth is also uncertain. The DAR has accepted the date of his birth as 1725. Since he was mentioned in the will of his grandfatehr Luke Thornton, probated in Richmond County, Virginia, that same year, that date is clearly wrong. A genealogy of the Thornton family by Jonathan M. and Walter W. Thornton gives the date as before 1719, based no doubt upon the intestate settlement that year of his father's estate, for Luke Thornton's will identified Mark as the son of Mark Thornton, deceased. It seems likely Mark, or Mark II as he should more properly be known, was born 1711 or earlier. This date is based upon a presumption that a Thomas Thornton, appearing as a separate tithe in the 1751 Lunenburg County lists, was a son of Mark II and at least 18 years old, or born circa 1733. Evidently Thomas was the eldest son of Mark II, whose marriage would have been, accordingly, circa 1732. If 21 when he married, Mark II would have been born circa 1711. These estimates, of course, are estimates, but err toward the side of youth. However, since the North Farnham Parish register puts Mark Thornton I's birth as 1686, Mark II could not have been born any earlier than 1707.
There are questions to be asked about the date of Mark II's
165
death as well. The DAR has accepted 1809, in Georgia, but I
have not been able to determine the basis for this date*. Clearly
death in 1809 for a man born in 1725 would have been very unusual,
although not out of the question since Dozier Thornton lived
a comparable life-span. One becomes skeptical, however, if the
birthdate had been 1719 and one might demand proof if the date
was 1711 or earlier. Surely a man who reached such a remarkable
age, and was a Revolutionary War veteran as well, would have
been a community celebrity, a man whose death would have certainly
been noted in local, and perhaps regional, newspapers. The absence
of such an obituary proves nothing, as its existence can no more
be proved than disproven, but it is significant that Rev. Campbell
made no mention in his sketch of Dozier either or Mark's advanced
age when he died or that he had served in the Revolutionary War.
Jonathan M. and Walter W. Thornton seemed to recognize this implicitly, as they gave the date of Mark II's death as 1780, but also stated he died "long before" son Dozier migrated to Georgia in 1783. One must wonder a bit about a sense of perspective which regards three years as a long time.
A much more realistic estimate for the date Mark Thornton II died is circa 1774 in Bute County, North Carolina. The last hard evidence that Mark was still living was the 1771 tax list of the same. In 1772 Mark Thornton, "Junior," or Mark III, purchased land in Bute County, and the use of the junior suggests Mark II was still alive. The next reference to any Mark in Bute County was in 1778. Only one of the three deeds that year mentioning a Mark designated him as "Junior." This might be a basis for presuming Mark II was alive if it were not for two factors. First, the deed stated that the property in question was purchased by Mark Thornton, "Junior," in 1772. Second, while the body of the deed referred to him as "Junior," Mark signed the deed without any designation whatsoever. Accordingly, it seems the reference in the deed to "Junior" was to acknowledge that he was the same man even though he was no longer using the designation.
166
The clear implication id that the elder Mark Thornton II Xi^as dead .
Mark Thornton II's death circa 177A clearly establishes that the Revolutionary War service attributed to him by the DAR belonged to another man, most probably Mark Thornton III. It was, in fact, my doubt of this service, given his advanced age and nature of the service-the North Carolina Continental Line (I would have found militia service much more credible ) -which initally prompted my research into Dozier Thornton's ancestry. It is probably impossible to establish how that first Mark Thornton descendant documented the service, but Rev. Campbell's sketch established the line. No doubt there was a series of presumptions beginning with Mark Thornton II residing in North Carolina, and military service for a man of the same name, concluding with a who-el se-could-i t-have-been? The sketch was subsequently used to establish the wrong Leonard as Mark's father-in-law because he had a daughter Susannah, as claimed by Rev. Campbell. One does not have to attribute dishonorable motives to this person to realize this Leonard carried the added advantage of being a patriot. All from a simple error as to the given name of Dozier's mother .

To the worshipful Court of Brunswick County Sitting in Chancery — the answer
of Thomas Clay to the bill of Complaint exhibited in this worshipful
Court by Duncan Ross
The Said defendant saving & reserving to himself every benefit of exception to the errors & insufficiencies of the said bill of complaint, for answer to so much thereof as he is advised is material for him to make answer unto he answereth and saith: that this defendant having undertaken the administration of the estate of Thomas Jones dec found the same considerably involved in debt & a necessity of selling [crossed out] nearly the whole thereof to pay the debts due from said Jones though there would be a residium to be divided among the children to an inconsiderable amount. This defendant further answereth & saith that every relevant or material allegation in the complainants bill is untrue — that the bond on which this defendant obtained the Judgment complained of in the said bill was not executed by the complainant's late wife Rebecca but by himself since her death faiiy voluntarily after a full & fair settlement — that it is not true that the said complainant applied frequently to this defendant to settle his account current of the said estate & to give up the bond executed by Rebeccah JoHSs his said late wife — for this defendant solemnly avers — that his administration has been settled long ago — & his account current examined by Commissioners appointed by Dinwiddie County court returned to court & approved of long ago as will appear by the records of said Dinwiddie County court — This def further answers that the estate was sold about the first day of february 1791 - being the near day on which the commissioners aforesaid examined & setted this defendants accounts — That Rebecca Jones the late wife of the complainant bought at the sale a negroe fellow named Adam for the sum of [blank] pounds — that the commissioners themselves being there present to settle the accounts settled the proportion of the estate after the payment of debts to which the Rebecca (as well as the other children) was entitled; which proportion was twenty eight pounds nine shillings & 3/A — that this proportion ?pd? out to her was deducted from the said amount of the sale of the negroe Adam & she the said Rebecca gave her bond to this defendant for the balance — & she gave to this defendant a receipt for her said full proportion of her father's estate & which receipt is herewith filed & prayed to be considered as part of this answer — that after the death of the said Rebecca wife of the complainant the said complainant ?issued? to this defendant a part of the said bond executed as aforesaid by his wife when
177
was sole in a bond & some work which he did for this
defendant took
up the said bond & gave his won bond for the balance, which is the very bond the judgment complained of has been rendered upon — that this defendant has fully & fairly settled with all the other children of the said Thomas Jones in
like manner & nothing of the estate remains now in his hands except a bond for
ds 3. s
the sum of fifteen or twenty p due by Susanna Jones — Si payable to him ;4hich
Bond has been left in hands to satisfy a British debt due by said Thomas Jones
to a certain Allen Love ?he believes? for the sum of Eight pounds or therebouts
the Interest, amounting to , ^ ■ . ^ ^ -u i.-, ^'7^ ^^^ to himself for money
7 should the same be adjudged to be payable / which bonds this defendant
advanced t
cannot give up especially as this def has understood that it has been solemnly
adjudged that all debts due from citizens of this Commonwealth to British subjects
(except those paid into the loan office) shall be paid — & the said debt due
by said Thomas was not paid into the loan office — all which this defendant
is ready to verify & prove as this worshipful court shall without that,
that &c wherefore this defendant prays that he may have the benefit of his Judgment
St
recovered at common law ag the
& that the said bill of injunction founded
on fallacy misrepresentation & untruth be dissolved & that this defendant be hence dismissed with his costs in this behalf unjustly sustained & he shall &c
