Some reports suggest his wife's name is Mary MOXLEY. " A Richard MOXLEY left a will, of record in Deed Book 16, Westmoreland Co., VA, dated 5 Jan 1776, probated, 27 May 1777 in which he made certain bequests to his daughter, Mary LEFTWICH, and to his grand-daughters, Mary and Nancy LEFTWICH." (Leftwich-Turner Families of Virginia and Their Connections, by Walter Lee Hopkins) Because Augustine had daughters Mary and Nancy, some have used this to link to our Augustine. The problem is that, Mary LEFTWICH, daughter of our Augustine, was married to Thomas EARLY, Sr., on 26 Apr 1763. Her married name should have been used at that time if she was named in a will.
Noting the middle names used by grandson, John Hopkins LEFTWICH, when naming his children, I wonder if his first wife could have been named, Polly REECE! Thus, the connection to our Sally REES as a niece by marriage, etc.
In his Will, Bedford Co., VA Will Book 2, Page 156. He names wife Elizabeth. Sons named: William, Thomas, Augustine, Uriah, John, Littleberry, Joel, Jabez. Daughters: Fanny Carter, Mary Early, Nancy Petross, Granddaughter: Nancy Leftwich and Grandson: James Moorman. Written 10 Jun, 1794. Recorded: 22 Jun 1795.
His parents are recorded in "Historical Southern Families", Vol XX, pg. 107 by John Bennett Bodie.
186. Sloman REES
Sloman is an early VA surname!
These five children are only highly suspected, and not proved! All these families are found in Bedford Co., VA and then travel to Lincoln/Moore County, TN. It is highly likely that their father was Sloman REES (Not proved!). In 1779 Slowman REES sold to Henry CROFFE 125 acres adjoining John YOUNG, etc. (D.B. #6, p 312, Bedford Co., VA) Sally's son, William Gibbs REES named a son Sloman. Slowman REESE sold a horse to Sally G. REESE Bill of Sale of personal property (D.B. #8, pg 83, 1788, Bedford Co., VA) Slowman signed a petition in 1774 for the "Petition of Peaks of Otter Presbyterian Church". Wonder is the wife's name was Sophia? Two of the granddaughters were named Sophia. (Some of these children may have been sons of Matthias REES.)

James Brown, Jr. (son of James Brown, Sr. and Jeanet) married Rhoda Reese, daughter of Sloman Reese, who gave consent on the bond dated 2 Oct 1792 in Bedford Co., VA and married on 4 Oct 1792. Surety on bond was John Reese (who married a Nancy).
He is listed in the The Virginia magazine of history and biography, Volume 12 By Virginia Historical Society, William Glover Stanard, page 419 as a petitioner for religion and virture with the Presbyterian church at Peaks of the Otter.
From “Campbell Chronicles,” Ruth Early wrote—“John Mead, county jailer, in 1780 petitioned for reimbursement of expense incurred while keeping certain persons in jail the past summer, who were arrested on suspicion of conspiracy against the United States.” She did not elaborate further.---From Bedford County Court, Booklet I, of the Virginia Publick Claims---the following list—page 1—The county of Bedford to John Mead, goaler [jailer] upon account of Tories, 7 June 1780.

200. INGLE
There is a book written in the 40's called "The Engle Family". We found it is mostly on Phillip, one of Melchor's sons. The other son's were barely mentioned. The Caspar Engle family came over at the same time and for some reason I feel like they are related. Solingen Germany is where Henkkel and Wurzhof knives are still made. And the Engle's, "Angels for the family crest", were all knife workers.
The following are notes from Internet research on the INGLE line:--Origin of the surname Ingle most of this is related to Anglo-Saxon origins, although we do know that "ingles" is Spanish for English, and of course, "engel" in German, means "Angel". The Scots word "ingle" means "fireplace" or "fireside", as in "inglenook" a sitting area near the fire, and represents a location. The Saxon word "ingle" means beacon or fire. The Ingles in NC may have been related to Paulser/Polser Ingle/Engel -- said to have been of Hessian or German descent, arriving in Am. before the Am Rev. He had a brother Jacob, who was found on the 1800 census in SC in the same area. BUT, the data below is related to the English connection.
--There are two concentrations of the Ingle surname in England - one in the north spanning the Yorkshire-Lancashire Border and one in East Anglia spreading into Huntingdonshire and Cambridgeshire.
--My Ingle ancestors were northerners - my grandmother was Louie (b.1892), her father was Henry, his father was William Stables Ingle and I can go further back. From the 1820s or thereabouts the family lived in Greengates which is now part of Bradford in West Yorkshire and before that I have evidence of them living in Garforth which is SW of Leeds, only a few miles away.
--My Ingles lived in Lincolnshire. They were traced back to 1530 and that was as far as we were able to go as that is as far back as the parish registers of Cold Overton went. However, the history of the name shows that they were originally from the border counties of Scotland. They were a sept of the Douglas clan who along with the Donald clan were attempting to wrest the Scottish crown from the Stewarts (with the backing of the English Royal family). They were defeated and sought asylum in England fleeing along the Great North Road (now the A1). They settled around Cold Overton and Colsterworth. After 6 years the Douglas clan returned to Scotland though some stayed on.(like my Ingles)
--The earliest record found of the Ingle surname in America, is that of Richard Ingle (The Pirate) of Maryland. He was said to have been born in 1609 in England. THE SCOTCH-IRISH OR THE SCOT IN NORTH BRITAIN, NORTH IRELAND, AND NORTH AMERICA CHAPTER XVII THE NORSE AND GALLOWAY (page 251) The other special name is Engleston or Ingleston, which we mentioned at p. 87. In regard to it there are at least two opinions, one being that it is derived from "English," and another from the Scottish "ingle," a chimney, or rather fireplace. There are several farms bearing the name in Galloway, and one so called in West Lothian. In a charter granted by King David II., page 252 [p.252] lands so called have it spelled Inglynstoun, and in another charter by Robert II., it is Inglystoun (Robertson's Index of Charters). Pont, in his map drafted between 1608-20, spells it "Englishtoun," which cannot be accepted, for it is obviously incorrect. The surname of Inglis found in Scotland is the root of this error, as the assumption has been that it is a corruption of "English"; but opposed to this idea is the fact that although several individuals named Inglis are to be found in the possession of lands at an early period, not one of them is styled of Ingliston or Inglystoun. The Inglises of Manner seem to have been the chief family, and they held the lands of Branksome or Branksholm, afterwards possessed by the Scotts (Buccleuch). The Ingliston in West Lothian probably got the name from Inglis of Cra-mond, the first of which family was a merchant in Edinburgh about 1560, the Reformation time. It has also been overlooked that "English" is a distract English surname borne by families in England, and any affinity with it and Inglis has no other basis than some similarity in sound. We still adhere to the same .opinion as given by us in Lands and their Owners in Galloway, that the farms in Galloway called Engleston or Ingleston have nothing to do with the surname Inglis, or as Englishtoun; but were given from the nature or character of the land, and are from the Norse engi for meadow-land, or a meadow, which is also found in Anglo-Saxon as ing or inge, a pasture, a meadow.

Preface page 136 ENGLEFIELD, a parish in the hundred of THEALE, county of BERKS, 6 miles (W.) from Reading, containing 343 inhabitants. The living is a rectory, in the archdeaconry of Berks, and diocese of Salisbury, rated in the king's books at £11. 12. 8½, and in the patronage of R. P. W. Benyon de Beauvoir, Esq. The church has some portions in the early English style, but has been much modernised: it contains several interesting monuments to the memory of the ancestors of the Marquis of Winchester. This parish, which is not unfrequently called Inglefield, derives its name from the Saxon word Ingle, a fire or beacon light, and probably had its origin about the middle of the ninth century, at which time the Danes, having made themselves masters of Reading, sent out a detachment from their army to attack the Saxons, who were encamped at this place, and who drove them back with great loss. Elias Ashmole, the herald and antiquary, retired to this place in 1647, where he pursued his researches.There were Henry and William who arrived in MD in 1673.

The English People Found a Nation in America Chapter 10 Colonization of Maryland In this state of uncertainty, Leonard Calvert, the proprietary's deputy, repaired to England to take counsel with his brother. During his absence, and toward the end of the year 1643, a London ship, commissioned by parliament, anchored in the harbor of St. Mary's; and Brent, the acting governor, under a general authority from the king at Oxford, but with an indiscretion which was in contrast with the caution of the proprietary, seized the ship, and tendered to its crew an oath against the parliament. Richard Ingle, the commander, having escaped, in January, 1644, was summoned by proclamation to yield himself up, while witnesses were sought after to convict him of treason. The new commission to Governor Calvert plainly conceded to the representatives of the province the right of originating laws. It no longer required an oath of allegiance to the king, but it exacted from every grantee of land an oath of fidelity to the proprietary. This last measure proved a new entanglement. In September, Calvert returned to St. Mary's to find the colony rent by factions, and Clayborne still restless in asserting his claim to Kent island. Escaping by way of Jamestown to London, Ingle had obtained there a letter of marque, and, without any other authority, reappearing in Maryland, he raised the standard of parliament against the established authorities, made away with the records and the great seal, and, by the aid of Protestants, compelled the governor and secretary, with a few of their devoted friends, to fly to Virginia. Father White and the other Jesuit missionaries were seized and shipped to England; an oath of submission was tendered to the inhabitants, but it was not subscribed by even one Catholic. After his lawless proceedings, which wrought for the colony nothing but confusion and waste of property and insurrectionary misrule, Ingle returned to England.Fairfax and Jost Hite Land Surveys, Shenandoah River, 1734-1735, Frederick Co., VA:

208. Joshua TEAGUE
Joshua Teague was born in Cecil County, Md. about the year 1732, a son of William Teague and his wife Isabella, and a grandson of Edward Teague and his wife Susan.
He moved with his family to Frederick County, Va. in 1737-38 and on to North Carolina in 1751, settling on a grant of land obtained from the Earl of Grandville on May 1, 1 759. This land was situated on Abbotts Creek in Rowan County. ("The Beginning of the TEAGUE Families in the South", Volume 1, No 2 of The TEAGUE Family Magazine)

Name: Joshua Teague
Birth Date: 1750
Birthplace: South Carolina
Volume: 175
Page Number: 52
Reference: Heads of Fams. at the first U.S. census. SC. By U.S. Bureau of the Census. Washington, 1908. (150p.):73On March 4, 1762 he purchased 430 acres of land on Abbotts Creek from his brother Moses Teague. In July, 1762 he took Title to 310 acres of land on Cataba River that was given to him by his father and sold this land to George Clayton on April 10, 1764.
On Sept. 15, 1765, he and his wife Dorothy sold 120 acres of the Abbots Creek property to Felix Metsinger, and on April 13, 1770 they sold the 310 acres on Abbotts Creek to James Welborn.
Joshua Teague must have been quite involved in the "Regulator Movement in North Carolina, as evidenced in the Proclamation dated June 11, 1771 which reads as follows: (From the Colonial Records of North Carolina - Vol. 8)
A PROCLAMATION:
"Whereas / have been in formed that many persons who have been concerned in the late Rebellion are desirous of submitting themselves to the Government, I do therefore give notice that every person who will come in either to mine or General Waddell's camp, lay down their arms and take the oath of Allegiance and promise to pay all taxes that are now due or may hereafter become due by them respectively and submit to the law of this Country, shall have his Majesty's most gracious and free pardon for all Treasons, Insurrections and Rebellings done or committed, on or before the 16th of May last, provided they make their submission afore said on or before the tenth of July next.
The following persons are however excluded from the benefits of this Proclamation, viz, all the outlaws, the prisoners, all those concerned in the blowing up of General Waddell's ammunition in Mecklenburg County, and the undernamed persons, to wit:
Samuel Jones Joshua Teague Samuel Waggoner
Simon Dunn, Jr. Abraham Greson Benjamin Merrill
James Wilkerson Edward Smith John Bumpas
Joseph Boring William Rankin William Robeson
John Winkler John Wilcox Jacob Felton
Thomas PersonsGiven under my hand and the Great Seal of the Province, this 11th day June, A. Dom. 1771.
Wm. Tryon
God Save the KingIt will be noted from the contents of this Proclamation, that the so-called "outlaws", with the exception of Joshua Teague and 15 others, were to be given until the 1st of July, 1771 to submit "to the law of this Country", however on June 19, 1771, on a shady knoll just east of the historic town of Hilisborough, N.C., six men called "Regulators" were executed.
Today a bronze plaque commemorates this small plot of ground with this inscription:
"On this spot were hanged
By order of a Tory Court
June 19,1771
Merrill, Messer, Matter, Pugh
And two other Regulators"
Read more at this location about Captain Benjamin Merrill who was hanged. Joshua evidently was a participant in this battle of Battle of Alamance.Joshua Teague was not an 'outlaw' within the meaning of Governor Tryon's Proclamation. Instead, he was a Revolutionary War Patriot who almost gave his life to the cause of American Independence. He had foreseen the coming of the above events and found it necessary to seek the safety of new territory to the south, Accordingly he moved into South Carolina several months prior to the above executions and purchased two hundred acres of land in Craven County, S.C. on Jan. 29, 1771, situated on the Bush River. On Dec. 11, 1773 he purchased three hundred acres on the Little River in the same county.
(These documents follow herewith)
On July 10, 1791, he purchased 250 acres on Bush Creek in Laurens County, S.C. and it was on this land that he died, leaving a will dated May 12, 1804, naming ten of his children. This Will was proven May 2, 1808, which means that he must have died sometime between the year 1804 and 1808. A copy of the Will is included herewith, followed by a more detailed listing of the children mentioned therein.
CHILDREN OF JOSHUA TEAGUE AND HIS WIFE DOROTHY
(Mentioned in his Will)
The first seven children mentioned below were born in Rowan County, N.C. and the last three were born in Laurens County, S.C. There were approximately five other children of this union who died in childhood but their names, dates of birth and place of burial are not known to us. Joshua's wife Dorothy was not mentioned in his Will and this is evidence that she had passed away sometime before the date shown on his last will and testament. The exact date of Joshua's death is not known, nor his place of burial.1. Elijah Teague born - January, 1759
Elijah Teague left a will in Laurens County, S.C. dated Oct. 2, 1824. This was proven in the Court of Ordinary on April 18, 1825.

BATTLE OF ALAMANCE
5-16-1771
Town of Alamance
Two thousand Regulators were camped by a creek with a petition to Gov. Tryon asking for redress for their grievances. Planning to negotiate, 1,000 of the men did not have guns with them. The rest had only minimal ammunition, about the amount one would take hunting. They were skilled in the use of rifles, but were completely lacking in the knowledge of military tactics. They had no officers, no cavalry, and no artillery.Hoping to catch them unawares, Gov. Tryon’s troops marched silently at daybreak without drums toward the Regulator encampment. Robert Thompson took the petition to Gov. Tryon. As he started back to the Regulators camp, Gov. Tryon shot him down.
The two sides moved closer together, and the Regulators again tried to present their petition. Instead of accepting their petition, Gov. Tryon gave them a Proclamation giving them a chance to lay down their arms. He gave them one hour to decide. As soon as they got in a conference, he fired on them. A two hour gun battle erupted. The Regulators ran out of ammunition and retreated. The governor’s soldiers followed them into the woods, killing and capturing them. Thirty men were dragged behind horses through the countryside as examples to others. One man was captured and hung at the battle field.
Harmon Husband, a Quaker, who could not fight due to the principals of his faith, left before the battle began. Later, Gov. Tryon issued an order for his arrest.A court martial was held and twelve men were condemned to die for high treason. The gruesome sentence was pronounced by the chief justice whose closing statements in the trial of Benjamin Merrill were as follows: “That the prisoner should be carried to the place from whence he came; that he should be drawn from thence to the place of execution and hanged by the neck; that he should be cut down while yet alive; that his bowels be taken out and burned before his face; that his head should be cut off, and that his body should be divided into four quarters, which were placed at the King’s disposal, and may the Lord have mercy on your soul” Colonial Records of North Carolina, Vol 8, page 643.
On 6-11-1771, Gov. Tryon issued a proclamation offering amnesty to all of the outlaws who took part in the rebellion, (except for sixteen ringleaders who were named individually) if they swore an oath to submit to the laws of this country and lay down their arms. The sixteen ringleaders were excluded from the amnesty program because they succeeded in blowing up British General Waddell’s ammunition in Mechlenburg County. Among those sixteen ringleaders were Joshua Teague and Joseph Boring, husband of Susannah Teague.
In spite of the offer of amnesty, on 6-19-1771, six Regulators were hung on a shady knoll just east of the historic town of Hillsborough.
When North Carolina’s Constitution was adopted in 1776, thirteen of the forty-seven sections addressed the grievances of the Regulators.The Teagues had to leave the jurisdiction of the royal governor for their own safety. They sold their land and moved further west where they settled on the South Yadkin River. Fifteen hundred families left the area after the Regulators ran into problems. Sandy Creek Baptist went from 604 members to 14.
The Evangelical Whigs, the political party of the Teagues, argued that God had decreed America’s victory over England in the Revolutionary War.JOSHUA TEAGUE, SON OF WILLIAM
Joshua was a captain with the Regulators. He must have been expecting trouble because he had the foresight to purchase a safe haven for himself and his family. On January 29, 1771, he went into Craven County (now Laurens County), South Carolina and purchased 250 acres on Bush Creek. After the battle, he and brother, Elijah, simply retreated into South Carolina out of the jurisdiction of Gov. Tryon, where they lived for the rest of their lives.Joshua acquired other tracts of land. It is known that Joshua was slave owner. Proof is his will which named twelve slaves who were left to various family members.
Joshua Teague did not fight in the Revolutionary War, but he furnished supplies for both men and horses in Laurens County, South Carolina.
3-4-1762—Joshua bought 430 acres from Moses Teague located on Abbott’s Creek in Rowan County adjoining Elijah Teague.
5-26-1762—William Teague to Joshua Teague, for love, household goods and lands and all substance.
4-30-1770—Joshua and wife, Dorothy, sold 310 acres on Abbott’s Creek in Rowan County adjoining William Thacker for 10 pounds.
Joshua Teague joined the New Light Bush River Baptist Church. It was established by Phillip Mulkey, originally from North Carolina, who established the first Baptist church in South Carolina.A continuing part of "The Beginning of the Teague Families in the South,"in Volume 1, No 2 of "The Teague Family Magazine"
Joshua Teague was born in Cecil County, Md. about the year 1732, a son of William Teague and his wife Isabella, and a greandson of Edward Teague and his wife Susan.
He moved with his family to Frederick County, VA in 1737-38 and on to North Carolina in 1751, settling on a grant of land obtained from the Earl of Granville on May 1, 1759. This land was situated on Abbots Creek in Rowan County.
On March 4, 1762 he purchased 430 acres of land on Abbotts Creek from his brother Moses Teague. In July, 1762 he purchased 430 acres of land on Abbotts Creek from his brother Moses Teague. In July, 1762 he took Title to 310 acres of land on the Cataba River that was given to him by his father and sold this land to George Clayton on April 10, 1764.
On Sept. 15, 1765, he and his wife Dorothy sold 120 acres of the Abbotts Creek property to Felix Metsinger, and on April 13, 1770 they sold the 310 acres on Abbotts Creek to James Welborn.
Joshua Teague must have been quite involved in the "Regulator Movement" in North Carolina, as evidenced in the Proclamation dated June 11, 1771, which reads as follows: (From the Colonial Records of North Carolina - Vol. 8)
A PROCLAMATION:
Whereas I have been informed that many persons who have been concerned in the late Rebellion are desirous of submitting themselves to the Government, I do therefore give notice that every person who will come in either to mine or General Waddell's camp, lay down their arms and take the oath of Allegiance and promise to pay all taxes that are now due or may hereafter
become due by them respectively, and submit to the law of this Country, shall have his Majesty's gracious and free pardon for all Treasons, Insurrections and Rebellings done or committed, on or before the 16th of May last, provided they ake their submission aforesaid on our before the tenth of July next.The following persons are however excluded from the benefits of this Proclamation, viz, all the outlaws, the prisoners, all those concerned in the blowing up of General Waddell's ammunition in Mecklenburg County, and the undernamed person, to wit:
Samuel Jones Joshua Teague Samuel Waggoner Simon Dunn, Jr. Abraham Greson Benjamin Merrill James Wilkersondward Smith John Bumpas Joseph Boring William Rankin William Robeson John Winkler John WilcoxJacob Felton Tomas PersonsGiven under my hand and the Great Seal of the Provice, this 11th day of June, A. Dom. 1771 Wm. Tryon God Save the King
It will be noted from the contents of this Proclamation, that the so-called "outlaws," with the exception of Joshua Teague and 15 others, were to be given until the 1st of July, 1771 to submit "to the law of this Country," however on June 19, 1771, on a shady knoll just east of the historic town of Hillsborough, NC, six men called "Regulators" were executed. Today a bronze plaque commemmorates this small plot of ground with this inscription:
On this spot were hanged By order of a Tory Court June 19, 1771, Merrill, Messer, Matter, Pugh and two other Regulators.
Joshua Teague was not an "outlaw" within the meaning of Governor Tryon's Proclamation. Instead, he was a Revolutionary War Patriot who almost gave his life to the cause of American Independence. He had forseen the coming of the above events and found it necessary to seek the safety of new territory to the south. Accordingly he moved into South Carolina several months prior to the above executions and purchased two hundred acres of land in Craven County, SC on Jan 29, 1771, situated on the Bush River. On Dec
11, 1773 e purchased three hundred acres on the Little River in the same county.On July 10, 1791, he purchased 250 acres on Bush Creek in Laurens County SC and it was on this land that he died, leaving a will dated May 12, 1804, naming ten of his children. This will was proven May 2, 1808, which means that he must have died sometime between the year 1804 and 1808.

Nancy Sandredge wife of John Thurmon
The children and heirs at law of Lane and wife dec’d are to your ________________ unknown as in like manner are the children and heirs at law of Wm Sandridge dec’d of Ann Carr dec’d. The said Elizabeth Sandridge the widow of Wm Sandridge the testator and John Sandridge among others were appointed executors of the will of said decd’ and from information the said Elizabeth was first qualified an executor and after she became unable to attend to the business the said John Sandridge her son named in the will as an executor took upon himself the management of the business and practice early of is much as resold to the estate left in the hands of said Elizabeth under the will of her husband William Sandridge dec’d. The said Elizabeth lived after the death of her husband to a very old age upwards of 100 years old when she died in the County of Green in the state of Kentucky. That after the death of her husband and before her death the slaves devised to her by the will of Wm Sandridge her dec’d husband had increased to the number between 16 and 20 which she left at her death. She also died possessed of and entitled to a considerable personal estate consisting of horses, cattle, sheep, hogs, household and kitchen furniture and money. Your orator further state that they are entitled to an equal portion of said slaves with the rest of the heirs of said Wm Sandridge dec’d and also entitled to the personal estate by will of the said Elizabeth Sandridge as will be hereafter shown.That the said Elizabeth some short time before her death went to live with her son John Sandridge and took with her to his home all the estate she had in possession considering of the slaves, stock, household and kitchen furniture aforesaid and that said Elizabeth departed this life sometime in the latter part of the year 1825 leaving the whole of the estate aforesaid and which from her death fell into the hands and possession of the said John Sandridge who has the same in his possession and his administration on the same and pretends to sit up claim and bill thereto in opposition to the rights of your orator and the rest of the heirs devises and descendants of the said Wm Sandridge dec’d instead of ____________ the said slaves and estate to be distributed according to the law and the just rights of others.
That on the 27th day of January 1821 the said Elizabeth Sandridge under her own proper hand and seal made signed sealed published and declared her last will and testament in writing of the date aforesaid said will be made by her when she was in her perfect senses and memory and attended by the witnesses subscribe the same in her presence according to law. That since her death the said will has been duly proved in the County court of Green and admitted to record copy of which is herewith filed and made part of this bill. In said will there was a devise in favor of your oratrix Milly otherwise Mildred Hall in which the said testament Elizabeth gave to your orztrix all her horses, cows, sheep and hogs likewise all her household and kitchen furniture as will more fully appear by reference to said will. Your orator and oratrix further respond that some time after the aforesaid will was made the said John Sandridge her son and executor to his father’s estate _______ his said mother at a time when she was worn down with old age upwards of 100 years old and when owing to her _________ of mind she was not in her senses and memory capable of making a will to execute in some way or other an instrument of writing purporting to be a last will and testament of the said Elizabeth a copy of which herewith filed and part hereof the original being witnessed by two of his sons giving all his good and chattels to the said John Sandridge which by the former will was devised to your oratrix. The said John Sandridge has had address enough upon producing said last mentioned writing (purporting to be the will) of her mother and devising her goods and chattels to heirs in court to him the said by some kind of proof to be intend of record in the county as the true last will and testament of said Elizabeth Sandridge dec’d when in truth she was incapable at the date and time of making the same to make a valid will owing to weak senses of mind and in addition to this the said John Sandridge exercised an improper influence over her at the time and it is believed she did not know at the date of said will what she was executing. That the said John Sandridge had procured the said will be be written himself under his own directions and containing and written as he himself had dictated. The said John has taken upon himself the execution of said last writing and the it was the true last will of said descendant Elizabeth and intended to retain the whole estate himself without dividing it with the other heirs children of the said Elizabeth. The said John having thus gotten possession of the said slaves, goods, chattels appropriated them all to his own was without redering any amount whatever. The said John Sandridge had ______________ for many years before the death of the said Elizabeth hired and her slaves should sold the crops of tobacco raised with the hands of the said Elizabeth and had ____ the _____ of the slaves and appraise the crops and was in that way largely indebted to the said Elizabeth and has failed to render any amount whatever of said sums and by him and debts due by him to the estate.
Your orator and oratrix further state that they are not in possession of a list of the name and ages of the slaves devised to the said Elizabeth during her widowhood and the descendants of said slaves some of them being young now and your orator and oratrix able to furnish a list of the personal property or on amount of the money but all these things are within knowledge of the said John Sandridge and from whom an account in detail is required.
