BERTIE COUNTY WILL - Garrett, Jesse-1796 File contributed for use in USGenWeb Archives by Virginia Jones VaJones@aol.com Taken from the copy of the original Jesse Garrett will which I obtained from the NC Archives. The will is dated 13 Oct 1796 and proved Jun 1797. Wife is shown as Rachael, sons Jesse, David, Jacob, James, Timothy, John and Thomas, daughters Celia Eley, Millie, Penny, Mary and Elizabeth with son-in-law James Cherry (?) as sole executor. [Mille may be the wife of James Cherry as Penny, Mary and Elizabeth were minors and Celia may have been married to an Eley.] [The slaves were Toney, Ben, Crummell, Jude, Venus, little Jude, Jack, Jerry, Silus, Abram, Cesar, Flora, Issac, Valley, Kate and Ester. I hope I have read the names correctly.] ======================== USGENWEB NOTICE: In keeping with our policy of providing free information on the Internet, data may be freely used by non-commercial entities, as long as this message remains on all copied material.
