In 1753 he also died intestate and is belived to have been followed by a son Isaiah, who (wife Sarah) left a will in 1764, but made no mention of his lands, so after that date there is a good deal of uncertainty about the title. In 1783 processioning returns showed a Stephen Bagwell and a John Kellam to have been the landowners in this vicinity.8 |
