Deed dtd 17/18 Oct 1763 bet Christopher Maccabees JACKSON of Prince William Co. and Benjamin MIDDLETON of Westmoreland Co. of one part and Samuel Demovil, late of Westmoreland Co., deceased, by his Last Will and Testament in writing bearing date the 12th April 1723, devised to his Dau, Magdalene RUST and to his Dau. Elizabeth HARRISON, And whereas Magdalene Rust afterwards intermarried with Christopher Dominic JACKSON, late of Westmoreland Co., deced., who gave his Son Christopher Macabees JACKSON, party to these presents 100 acs,. also Elizabeth HARRISON intermarried with Benjamin MIDDLETON, late of Westmoreland Co. who had issue BENJAMIN MIDDLETON, party these presents, her Eldest Son --- Thanks very much to Sam for posting original documents. I was working on these collateral lines a while ago and ran into problems with the multiple Hannahs, Samuels, Magdalenes, Elizabeths, and Benjamin MIDDLETONs (who get easily confused with the Benedict MIDDLETONs, who were relatives). Here is the will evidence: William A. Crozier, ed., _Westmoreland County Wills_ (Virginia County Record Publications, n.s. 1, 1913), p. 30, citing Will Book 7: "DAMAVORELL, SAMUEL, 12 April 1723; 8 Aug. 1723. Son Samuel; dau. Magdalene Rust; dau. Elizabeth Harrison; wife Hannah." P. 48, citing Will Book 10: "DEMOVEL, HANNAH, 8 Sept. 1744; 25 Sept. 1744. To Peter son of George Lamkin decd.; my granddaughters Hannah Demovel, Mary Middleton, and Hannah Armistead; Sarah dau. of John Armistead; my grandchildren Jane More, Hannah Brown, Magdalen Jackson, Hannah Hartley, James Lamkin, Samuel Lamkin, and Magdalen Claughton; my dau. Elizabeth Middleton; son in law Benj. Middleton." This is Hannah COX, the widow of George LAMKIN (d. 1691) and Samuel DEMOURVELL (d. 1723). P. 51, citing Will Book 11: "JACKSON, CHRISTOPHER DOMINICK, 1 July 1749; 31 Oct. 1749. Wife Magdalene and my three sons when they are 21." Magdalene DEMOURVELL Jackson was the daughter of Hannah who d. 1744. P. 67, citing Will Book 14: "JACKSON, MAGDALENE, 11 Aug. 1766; 24 Nov. 1767. My beloved son Samuel [Rust]; son Julius [Jackson]; son Thaddeus [Jackson]; son Christopher [Jackson]; my decd. husband Christopher D. Jackson." Son Christopher is clearly the Christopher Maccabeus JACKSON of the Fairfax Co. deed. Hannah COX and Samuel DAMOURVELL had a son Samuel, daughter Magdalene, and daughter Elizabeth. Presumably Samuel II was the father of "granddaughter Hannah Demovel"; Elizabeth was the mother of Mary MIDDLETON (unless Mary married a MIDDLETON); and Magdalene was the mother of Magdalen JACKSON (? I haven't found her elsewhere. Possibly she was the wife of a JACKSON). By her first husband, George LAMKIN, Hannah COX had George, James, and John. John LAMKIN's daughter Jane married a MORE (John or Samuel) and appears in Hannah's will. Evidently some of the other granddaughters had married BROWN, HARTLEY, and CLAUGHTON. But who are the ARMISTEADs? And why are none of Magdalene DAMOURVELL's five children by Jeremiah RUST (d. 1731) mentioned in her mother's will? Possibly one was: granddaughter Hannah RUST could be Hannah Armistead, Hannah Brown, or Hannah Hartley, all named. But not Samuel, William, Jeremiah, or Martha. Ellsworth M.
