| Anecdote* | September 1754 | In Sep 1754 it was recorded in Northampton Co, VA, that Frances Wilkins, infant under 21 year (by John Smaw, her next friend and guardian), one of the daughters of Jonathan Wilkins late of N'hamp Co, shows that her father at the time of his death (adm 14 Apr 1747) was possessed of several slaves - Ben and Sarah. The slaves desecnded to the said Frances and her two sisters, Rachel and Joanna, infants under age 21. The three daughters were coheirs subject to the dowwer of their mother, Susanna. The said Susanna vested herself of the slaves as administrix of the estate and guardian of the three daughters. She soon married John Ellegood. They, the said Susanna and John kept possession of the two slaves and all of the profits from there on. Susanna died in 1751. Nathan Wilkins, brother to the above Jonathan and Uncle to Frances, Rachel & Jonna died in 1747 (adm 8 Mar 1747) unmarried. His sundry slaves (Mary & Dinah, woman & a girl) descended to the three Wilkins sisters. The said John Ellegood, after the death of his wife Susanna, held possession of all the slaves as guardian. However, Frances, after the death of her mother, chose John Smaw as her guardian. Since then she has frequently applied to her sisters, Rachel and Joanna for a partition of the slaves and their increase now living: Leah, Jack, Daniel, Esther, Ben and ... (paper torn). This petition asks the Court to order a division. Filed 15 May 1754 & the partition was ordered.5 |

Chancery Cause #1785-001, Nathaniel Wilkins vs William Wilkins, 15 pages of documents consist of the bill, a summons, the answer of William Wilkins and a page of notes summarizing the facts of the case. 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.2 |

| Chancery suit* | 1785 | Peggy (212) (of Wm J) Wilkins was named in a chancery suit in 1785 at Northampton Co, VA. Chancery Cause #1785-001, Nathaniel Wilkins vs William Wilkins, 15 pages of documents consist of the bill, a summons, the answer of William Wilkins and a page of notes summarizing the facts of the case. 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.2 |
