Abt 1665 - Bef 1734  (< 69 years)

• Name	Richard Carvey  [1]
  Birth	Abt 1665  [1]
  Gender	Male
  Land bought	1714	tract N64, just south of Marionville, Northampton Co, Virginia   [2]
  	In 1711 John Beloat sold 100 acres of this tract to Henry Williams and three years later he resold to Richard Carvey. In 1734 he left to daughter Mary Scott for life and then to my son-in-law Salathiel Harrison. In 1778 Salathiel (wife Ann) left to his son Thomas, with James and Catharine next in line if Thomas failed of issue. The next link could no be found, but a later owner of record was a William Harrison and in 1808 he left to his wife Ann and then to their chidren. (NOTE: A Nov 1761 court case found in N'hamp Co Loose Papers Vol 4, p. 16 shows Salathiel Harrison was a son of Mary Scott (not a son-in-law as shown in the will) and the 1778 will of Salathiel Harrison was contested by William Harrison, the heir-at-law who evidenlty actually inherited the land.)
  Court - named in ejectment	Jan 1722/23	Northampton Co, Virginia   [3]
  	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.
