| Will* | 13 September 1783 | John made a will on 13 September 1783 at Accomack Co, VA. When my son Hutchinson Kellam arrives to the age of 21 negroes to be divided between my 3 children, Hutchinson, Custis & Betsy. I give all my wife's clothes to my daughter Betsy. 3 chiidren above named residual legatees. John Smith, Richard Savage & John Fosque Exrs. Witt: John Smith, William Savage, Robert Savage.3 |
| Death* | before 27 December 1785 | He died before 27 December 1785 at Accomack Co, VA. It was on this date that his will was probated.4,3 |
| Will - Father's* | 18 January 1788 | John was named in his father's will on 18 January 1788 at Accomack Co, VA. He was evidently dec'd by this date as his father Jospeh Kellam wanted his estate to be divided between John Kellam's children (not named), Mary Savage, Elizabeth Aimes & Keziah Davis.1 |
| Anecdote* | 1810 | In 1810 when Hutchinson Kellam and his wife Sarah sold their part of tract A5 (between Belle Haven & Quinby) to George S. Savage, the deed incuded another 175 acres, which must have been the original John Savage third of the tract. In that deed Hutchinson and Sarah Kellam were joined by other Kellam heirs: Custis Kellam, femme sole, and Betsy Milby, widow of Gilbert Milby; it recited that the land had belonged to their grandmother and had descended to them upon the death of their father John Kellam in 1785. Unfortunately, neither the name of the grandmother nor the first name of her husband was given, but possibly she had been the sole heir of the John Savage who had inherited this part in 1717 from his father Roland Savage. (Note: An indepth look into this relationship shows that John Savage named 3 young chirldren in his will of 1728: Charles, Patience and Mary. The John Kellam, who died in 1785, was the son of Joseph and Patience Kellam, thus this Patience, mother of John Kellam, was certainly the daughter named in the will of 1728.)4 |

Thomas Smith1
M, b. circa 1660, d. before 8 December 1730
| Birth* | circa 1660 | Thomas Smith was born circa 1660.1 |
| Marriage* | circa 1690 | He married (-----) (-----) circa 1690. |
| Land deeded from* | 1727 | Thomas Smith deeded land in 1727 at tract N108, north side Nassawadox Creek, Northampton Co, VA. Thomas Smith gave this land to a grandson Leaven Smith. According to the wording of the deed, Thomas himself was then living on N107, which h e left to son William three years later (1730). Leaven Smith left no will, but it is known that he had a wife Margaret. Title to the land after him is vague, but the following seems to offer a possible solution. In a later will (1765) the will of William Major Sr., he mentioned a grandson Levin Major, and it seems likely that William Major Jr. had married either the childless widow, or an only daughter-and-heir of Levin Smith, to account for his having a son Levin. In 1782 the will of William Major (presumably the above William Jr.) did not mention a son Levin, but he may have died after the granfather. He did not mention a wife(sic) (he did mention a wife, but not by name), so she may have died previously, but he did leave to a son John Major 338 acres which had been his wife's dower land (which supports the above assumption), together with 60 acres he had bought from
Thomas Smith (N107). In 1798 John Major left to an unborn child, or if it did not live, to his wife Nancy (daughter of Obedience Johnson); apparently that came about and Nancy married a John Pitts. In 1807 John and Anne Pitts deed to their son John R. Pitts to take effect upon their deaths, but he if died without issue and the title was to revert to Anne or her heirs. He survived his mother but died in 1815 without issue. In 1821 a survey showed 307 acres: a central strip (including the home) from the neck road down to the creek went to John P. Johnson, a brother of Anne, and the rest went to her half-brothers Peason Savage, who received the north strip, and William K. Savage, who received the south strip.2 |
