Teste

Elizabeth Chappell did not long remain a widow, for among the records has been found a unique and peculiar document, the meaning of which was for a time difficult to understand. It proved, however, to be a bond given to James Jones, in the nature of an ante-nuptial contract, by one Thomas Taylor, the prospective husband of his widowed daughter, Elizabeth Chappell. I transcribe this Marriage Contract:

"Know all men by these presents that I, Thomas Taylor, am held and firmly bound unto James Jones, Indr., his heirs and Executors, in the sum of four hundred and forty two pounds and eight shillings, of lawfull money of England, to which payment well and truly to be made, I bind myself, my heirs, executors and administrators. Sealed with my seal and dated this 22nd. day of June 1704. The condition of this obligation, is such that if the above bonded Thomas Taylor, shall from time to time, and at all times, forever hereafter, suffer and give liberty to Elizabeth Chappell, the widow and Relic of Thomas Chappell, deceased, to give and dispose to her children, how, when and as she thinks fitt, any and all sums of money, or its value in country commoditys, or personal property of which she may be possessed, then the above written obligation to be void, null and of no effect; otherwise
to stand in full force and virtue.
"Thomas Taylor. [Seal]

She and Thomas Taylor were still living in Surry County on Oct 19, 1736 (Surry Deed & Wills, 1730-38, Pg. 628)

Father's Will: Item. I give to my daughter Elizabeth a negro named Hanna to be at her disposal to do as she sees fitt.

Elizabeth married CHAPPELL Thomas, III about 1670 in Charles City County, VA. Thomas (son of CHAPPELL Thomas, II and BANNISTER Mary) was born in 1650 in Charles City County, VA; died between 1694 and 1700 in Charles City County, VA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Elizabeth married TAYLOR Thomas after 1702 in Merchants Hope, Prince George, Virginia, USA. Thomas and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Father's Will: All the rest and Residue of My personal Estate, goods and chattels whatsoever, I do give and bequeath to my Loving son James Jones, full and sole Executor of this my last Will and testament

Fathers Will: Note change:

I died before 12 May 1719 when Sarah stated she had been justly dealt with and requested my will be probated. Not 2 months later, the court argued that the phrase Hay used, "All the rest and Residue of My personal Estate, goods and chattels whatsoever, I do give and bequeath to my Loving son James Jones, full and sole Executor…," excluded my slaves because they were then real estate.
Hay, who knew my intentions, convinced the court to give the rest of the slaves to James anyway. My family includes several congressmen and 4 North Carolina governors.
James and his son of the same name owned Indian slaves. In Aug. 1693 the court Judged Sue, an Indian Girl of James Jones, to be 7, and Sarah, an Indian girl of James Jones Jr. to be 4. The county rewarded him 400 pounds of tobacco for killing two wolves in 1664.

All the rest and Residue of My personal Estate, goods and chattels whatsoever, I do give and bequeath to my Loving son James Jones, full and sole Executor of this my last Will and testament

Notes:

Item. I give to my daughter Hanna one negro named Jack to be at her disposal at her death or before as she sees fitt.

Notes:

Father's Will: Item. I give to my daughter Mary Dardin my negro man Jo - during her life.
Will of James Jones 6 April 1719 In the name of God. Amen. I James Jones being weake and sick but of sound and perfect mind and memory, praise be therefor given to Almighty God, doe make and ordain this my present Last Will and Testament in manner and form following, that is to say.
