Thank you. I did have that will. I don't think we can leap to the conclusion that the wife of Meverell Hulse was Sarah Pearle, though (not saying you did). Meverell did have a daughter named Sarah. Will of Meverell Hulls, SMC, 11/19/1743-12/27/1743. Wife: Elizabeth, 150 ac., dwelling plantation and personal estate for life and 150 ac., dwelling plantation to her and her heirs; in lieu of such heirs, to pass to her cousin, Edward Barber, son of Luke. Sister: Rebecca ____, land belonging to sister Sarah, dec'd. Brothers: John and Luke Barber, 150 ac., dwelling plantation at death of wife, Elizabeth. Daughter: Elizabeth, personal estate at death of wife, Elizabeth. NOTE: Widow elected to abide by the will.
