Plaintiffs: Nathaniel Wilkins (carpenter), Peter Wilkins & Jacob Wilkins
That in the year of our Lord Christ 1770, William Wilkins, father of your orators, departed this life intestate, leaving issue Peggy Waterfield, Elishe Wilkins and John Wilkins, of lawful age, by his first wife and William, Joseph, Benjamin and your orators Nathaniel, Peter & Jacob Wilkins by a second ?? (uncertain word), then infants and under the age of twenty-one. After the death of the said intestate, his widow Catherine & his son, the abovesaid John, took administration of his estate, in which, among other things were a number of slaves and personal chattels. The personal estate was administered on as the law requires, but there was not, nor is there yet, any legal partition made of the slaves, agreeable to the act of assembly in such case lately made & provided but on the contrary, while your orators were infants of very tender years, the intestate's children who were of lawful age, by illegal means procured partition of the slaves.
Joseph and Benjamin died underage and without issue. The slaves allotted to Benjamin by said illegal procedure were Jack, Adam & Henry. Joseph, who had two slaves so allotted to him, viz, Anda & Luke, and Anda has since had issue, two children, Sam & another whose name your orators do not at present recollect. The said William as heir at law to the said Joseph & Benjamin claimed and took possession of the slaves to them so illegally allotted, and also their increase and still holds the possession of them, contrary to another act of assembly in such cases lately made & provided. Your orators well hoped that when they should arrive to lawful age, capable of acting for themselves, which they now are, that the said William & others concerned or interested in the partition of said slaves would have, agreeable to law and equity consented to and made partition of said slaves.
But now, so it is, may it please your worships that the said William altogether refuses to consent to partition of said slaves.
There is another document which states that the daughter Elishe died without issue and the son John died leaving a son William who was under-age.
The answer of the brother, William Wilkins stated that the prior division had been in effect for ten years and when William's part of the slaves were delivered to him, he understood from all parties that the division was perfectly fair and equal and such of the children as had less valuable slaves assigned to them had the deficiency supplied in money to be paid by the others.
The outcome of this suit was not included within these documents.4 |

Benjamin (of Thos Sr) Dunton Sr.

| Marriage | circa 1690 | He married Margaret Widgeon, daughter of Robert Widgeon I (Wiggen) and Mary (-----), circa 1690.2 |
| Land rec'd as gift* | 1695 | Benjamin (of Thos Sr) Dunton Sr. received land as a gift in 1695 at tract N58, Bridgetown, N'hamp Co, VA. It was in this year that Thomas Dunton made a composite deed of gift, to take effect upon his death, for an equal division of the 600 acres among his five sons: Thomas, William, John, Benjamin and Joseph. In the document he made reference to the division lines which he had discussed with the sons, but unfortunately those lines were not in the deed so the exact division is uncertain except that the home part was to go his son Thomas. Three of the portions, except for a small part which went out of the family, were soon aborbed by the other two.1 |
| Marriage* | circa 1704 | He married Mary Waterfield, daughter of William Waterfield Sr. and (-----) (-----), circa 1704.3,4 |

Jeremiah Hopewell (fictious name) complains in an ejectment suit against Richard Carvey. The Plf leased from Robert Widgeon (Wiggen) two messuages (dwelling houses), four tobacco houses, 200 ac land, 200 ac pasture, 300 ac marsh and 400 ac woodland with all appurtenances for a term of 5 years in June 1721. The said Jeremiah took possession, but within a few weeks Richard Carvey (brother-in-law of the lessor) ejected the said Jeremiah with force. Jury found for the Plf. Other documents included show that Robert Wiggen (Widgeon) (wp 15 May 1677) bequeathed his dividend of 300 ac of land to his 3 children Robert, Mary and Margaret to be equally divided with the surviving child to have the entire parcel. It was not to be sold or otherwise disposed of. The report of the jury continues that by the consent of Robert Wiggens, Richard Carvey and Mary his wife and Benjamin Dunton and Margaret his wife, Edmond Scarbough, formerly Surveyor of the County, divided the 300 ac between the said Robert, Richard & Benjamin as by plat in 1702. The report also found that the widow, Mary died about 14 or 15 years ago (i.e. about 1708). Margaret the wife of Benjamin Dunton died in the lifetime of her mother and that Mary the wife of Richard Carvey died on 9 Jan 1721. The lessor Robert is the only surviving child of the Testator. Another document shows a long list of fees and costs against the Dft Richard Carvey levied by the Court.5 |
