My cousin and I have gone over and over this lawsuit over a will and would like help from the researchers of the above named families. The Suit: SITLINGTON Heirs vs. SITLINGTON's Widow--0. S. 79; N. S. 27--Bill, 3d December, 1805.- Orators are viz: James KELSO, and Eltzabeth, his wife, John YOUNG and Polly, his wife; Nathan CRAWFORD and Jane, his wife; Jennet SLOAN (Kean?), Andrew BEATY and Agness, his wife; Edward McLAUGHLIN and Jane, his wife; of whom Elizabeth, Polly, Jane CRAWFORD, Jennet and Agness are the daughters and Jane ERWIN is granddaughter of John SITLINGTON, deceased. John was brother of whole blood of Andrew SITLINGTON, of Bath. Andrew died 1787 without issue, widow Elizabeth. He made a will, dated 1801, and this suit is to contest it on account of inability by age and infirmity, being 90 years old. Andrew had written to John in Ireland to come to Virginia. He married Elizabeth when aged. She was a MONTGOMERY? Her brother (?) John was a preacher. Defendants are viz: Elizabeth SITLINGTON(widow of Andrew), Jacob WARWICK, Andrew Sutlingon WARWICK, Andrew SITLINGTON (son of Robert SITLINGTON), John MONTGOMERY, and Andrew ERWIN. Jacob WARWICK answers that oratrix, Jane McLAUGHLIN, is niece of Andrew SITLINGTON, who is understood to have had a half-sister, Mrs. SHERMAN, living in Pennsylvania at his death. Andrew had married the mother of Jacob. Elizabeth answers that John SITLINGTON had a son, Robert, now living in Bath. James ERWIN is brother of Jane McLAUGHLIN. Andrew died 15th April, 1804. He was in his 85th year. John SITLINGTON came to this country in 1774. Andrew and Elizabeth were married in 1779. Andrew SITLINGTON's will dated 12th October, 1801. Proved in Bath County, June, 1804. Wife Elizabeth; legatee Gean CRAWFORD, wife of Nathan CRAWFORD. Legatee Andrew Sitlington CRAWFORD, son of Nathan. Legatee Gennet SLOAN and her daughter, Polly SLOAN. Legatee Polly YOUNG, wife of John YOUNG. Legatee Agness BEATY, wife of Andrew BEATY. Legatee Elizabeth KELSO, wife of James KELSO. Legatee Elizabeth, Sitlington KELSO, daughter of Elizabeth KELSO, Legatee nephew, James ERWIN. Legatee nephew, Andrew ERWIN. Legatee niece Jean McGLOUGHLIN, wife of Edward, and her son, Andrew McGLOUGHLIN. Legatee Andrew Sitlington McDONALD, son of Samuel. Legatee Elizabeth McDONALD, daughter of John. Legatee Elizabeth McDONALD, daughter of Samuel. Legatee Andrew Sitlington WARWICK, son of Jacob. Legatee Andrew SITLINGTON, son of Robert. Letter by Andrew to John dated Greenbrier, 25th September, 1776, speaks of brother William (in Pennsylvania), and brother Thomas, of sister Elizabeth. There is argument over what Elizabeth's maiden name was we have heard: DUNLAP WARWICK/McDONALD/above it is MONGOMERY(?). Does anyone know who these people are and how they relate to Andrew SITLINGTON, Jacob WARWICK, and Samuel MCDONALD. If this Elizabeth was the mother of Jacob then she would be our grandmother and we would love to know the complete story behind this. We have tried to do it on our own but have been unable to locate answers. Any help would be appreciated, we are stumped at this point. Please post to the list so we can all see the answers since so many families are involved in this. Thank You for any help you can give.
