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;

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

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

my will that my wife Elizabeth have dower in my estate. Thirdly

said Thomas Wyatt should execute a deed to the said William and
Leonard Carlton for the said land and put thejn in posesion thereof.
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,

to be equally divided between them to them and their heirs forever.

whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal this 4 day of June

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.

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

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

110

as Equity may require
to award process &.

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

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

inventory of her brother Joel's estate in 1802, certain property
was under mortgage to her.

Joel Sturdivant, son of John and Ann, married Frances
W. Burnett in Henrico 19 Dec. 1786. The Raleigh(N. C . ) Register
reported the death of Joel Sturdivant, Esq. at Petersburg,
7 Aug. 1801. He and his wife Frances had two daughters to reach
maturity: Mary Ann Thompson Sturdivant, born 1789 and Lucy F.
Sturdivant. A third daughter, Sally Servant, born 1792, appears
to have died young. The marriage bonds in the Petersburg Hustings
Court show that Mrs. Frances W. Sturdivant married second in
1806 Thomas Young, and that Mary married Jesse Dupuy in 1805
and Lucy F. married Beverly Anderson in 1821. It was Anderson
who handled the application of the collateral heirs of Joel Sturdivant
for his bounty warrant in 1834.

William Sturdivant was the son of John and Mary and the
brother of Joel. His descendants also shared in the bounty warrant.
His Dinwiddle will dated 29 Sept. 1768, and recorded 16 Jan.
1769, is in the Brock collection in the Huntington Library.
He devised 250 acres to his wife Frances with reversion to his
son James, named eight other children, all under the age of 21,
and named his brothers John and Joel executors. The identity
of his wife Frances is not known.

According to Dinwiddle Court records filed 10 Mar. 1835,
Martha, the daughter of William and Frances Sturdivant, married
John Pegram, and had issue: Edward, John, Martha, and Frances
Pegram. 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.

Joel Sturdivant, son of William and Frances Sturdivant,
was born about 1760. He married Nancj' Young, the daughter of
Edward Young and Karen Happock Hardaway. They lived in Dinwiddle
where his will, dated 13 July 1837, was probated 15 Nov. 1841.
He mentioned his two daughters Nancy and Judith and Judith's
children, daughter Winifred Lewis, son Joel, and granddaughters
Lousa Abernathy and Sally Ann and Jane Manson Hobbs. Son Joel
and friend Edward Young, Sen. were appointed executors, and the
document was witnessed by R. Kidder Meade, Thomas Meade, and
Robert B. Goodwyn. Hartwell H. Lewis, Joel's son-in-law, was
security for the administration. Joel's daughter Judith P. Sturdivant
had married Stephen M. Mayes In 1834.

James Sturdivant, seemingly the youngest son of William
and Frances Sturdivant, married Mary Thweatt, one of the twelve
children of George and Grace (Thompson) Thweatt. Dinwiddle tax
lists show that James inherited land from both Frances Sturdivant
and George Thweatt. James Sturdivant and his wife are both said
to have died prior to 1843. 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.
He married secondly Susan Thompson Sturdivant but it is not known
if she were sister to his first wife. Frances Sturdivant, above,
married Nelson Crowder in 1848.

Robert, son of William and Frances Sturdivant, was born
in 1752 and died ^.n Dinwiddle in 6 Sept. 1808. He married- Elizabeth
Turner, born 4 Feb. 1755. She appeared on the personal property
lists in Dinwiddle with son Robert in her household 1810 and
1811. There Is no mention after that and she may I'.ave moved
to Georgia. The dates, given below, for the children of Robert
and Elizabeth were found by a descendant in Montgomery, Ala. in
an old ledger and were published in Tyler's Quarterly, Vol. 10.

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

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.

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

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 .

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

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
