Hello Everyone, I was wondering if someone on the list might have access to the abstract books, etc. for Granville Co, and see if there is anything in them regarding the estate of one James McGehee, wife Rebecca (Pruitt), who died there I'm told ca 1774. The name could be spelled any of many ways: Mackgehee, Magee, McGhee, McGayhe, etc. Several references say he died before October 22, 1774, so I'm assume that was when his will was probated, or administrator of estate chosen, etc. They lived in Hanover/Louisa Counties VA, were married under care of Henrico MM, Quaker meeting there in 1721. He moved there approximately 1755 when many Quakers left Virginia, including my Clark/Stone/Moorman/Haley group to Anson, because they were constantly being stripped of possessions for failure to participate in militias. I have only this reference from Granville related records: > James McGehe 600 acres. Plotted by a Scale of 200 poles to an inch. > Surveyed October 13th 1756 for James MackGehe. 600 acres of land according > to the above plan lying in Granville County & on both sides a fork of Taylor > Creek. Beg. At a Red oak on the South Side the sd Creek thence running N 400 > po to a white oak on the sd Creek thence W240 po to a white oak thence S 400 > po to a white oak thence E 240 po to the Beg. > Thanks for any assistance...Researching Robertson (Rob*son), Faulkner, Dickerson, Short of Granville Co. myself. McGehee is a collateral interest. Best Regards, Janet Baugh Hunter
