Notes - On 8 JUN 1813, Richard Price and wife Eleanor, George Furbay and wife Elizabeth, Davis Meredith and wife Anne, John Parker and wife Mary, all of Monongalia Co., VA, sold to William Pritchard of Allegany Co., MD, for $60, two 50-acre lots west of Ft. Cumberland (i.e., in Allegany Co., MD); Thomas Pritchard Sr. of Allegany Co., deceased, had owned the land; he died intestate with children Eleanor, Elizabeth, Anne, and Mary; signed Richard Price, Eleanor / (her mark) Price, George Furbay, Elih Furbay, Davis Meredith, Anne Meredith, John Parker, Mary Parker; wit. R. Barkshire; deed recorded 18 NOV 1813.
George's will, made 3 APR 1849 and probated during JAN term 1850, gave his wife Elizabeth half the land and the balance of his personal estate; the other half of the land went to his daughter Sarah Beaty and her husband Jeremiah; at Elizabeth's death all the land was to go to Sarah if she paid $50 apiece to Thomas Smith and Richard [sic] Smith and $35 to Margaret Millan; signed George (his mark) Furbee; witnesses were Jonathan Musgrave, Felix C. Michael. This was George's second will, apparently written after a great deal of pressure from Elizabeth to include her children by her previous marriage. George felt he had already taken care of them in other material ways, and the witnesses and several neighbors and relatives were called in to testify about George's state of mind when he made the second will and about the degree of pressure put on him by Elizabeth. One neighbor, Edna Amos, said that just after Jonathan Musgrave had been sent for to write the second will, Elizabeth said, "Justice is going to take place now; I hope it will take place. I always thought a person could not die without justice taking place first." In the end, the second will prevailed.
