BELCHER/AMARILLA SWINNEY. Surety ROBT H. ELLIS I have original of will. Tabby is called daughter-in-law; very confusing. Neither wife was named in will. Since Richard Belcher married Ursley Hastin on 3 Jan. 1787 in Amelia Co., she was his first wife, not his second wife. I don't know name of 2nd wife. William Orange left will 1815, Smith Co., naming daughter Polly Belcher, but I don't know who Polly's husband was. I've found no deeds on which either wife signed. Lots of Belchers around. Richard's sale was recorded 21 April 1830, Smith Co.
