Bartholomew STOVALL III
HUSBAND:
[F200]. Bartholomew STOVALL III.
Born about 1732 in Goochland County, Virginia; son of Bartholomew STOVALL II [F400] and Mary HUGHES [F401]. Goochland County changed to Cumberland County.
He married (1) Tabitha MOSS on 4 SEP (1753)(1750-S5) in Cumberland County, Virginia. The will of his father-in-law was proved on 23 SEP 1754, in which he bequeathed to Tabitha and her lawful heirs three slaves, Bristol, Buck, and Jane. Tabitha died about 1760.
He married (2) Sally BRACKETT [F201] on 28 JAN 1762 in Amelia County, Virginia. Cumberland County changed to Powhatan County.
He served in the Revolutionary War by furnishing supplies and services to the Continental Army. The Virginia Public Service Claims shows payments for the provisions and services.
In 1777 he received a deed for 200 acres in Powhatan County, Virginia from his brother John. John had received this land from their father. He deeded 100 acres of this land to Ed Toney. He is listed several times in Cumberland County records conveying land transactions. In 1785 he gave a deed to property in Powhatan County to Bartholomew Gaddy (Geddy). In 1790 he deeded to Jesse STOVALL 100 acres in Powhatan County. In 1794 a deed of agreement was made between he, Tabitha Stovall (his daughter), and Otey Prosser. It was not made clear the purpose of this deed.
On 16 JUL 1796 his will was written in Powhatan County. He died in 1796 in Powhatan County, Virginia. On 20 OCT 1796 his will was probated. It indicates that he was well to do and was well educated. He is one of the earliest Stovalls to sign his will, as opposed to using his mark, and he added his seal. The will provided for the following bequests: To daughter Tabitha, 2 slaves, Dick and Milly. If Tabitha died, Dick was to go to Daughter Sally, and Milly was to go to daughter Molly. If none of these three had issue, Dick and Milly reverted to the estate. Tabitha also received a walnut bedstead, bed and furniture, a walnut chest, and his silver tea spoons.
Daughter Fanny Prosser to receive 3 slaves, Arnold (?), Joe, and Frank - already deeded to her. Granddaughter Kitty Prosser: a slave girl, Queen, daughter of Hannah, and one bed. Daughters Molly and Sally: 50 pounds each. Daughter Judith: a slave named Part. Son George: a slave named Sam, son of Chloe. Also 400 pounds, his desk, looking glass, a bed, and furniture “as good as [I] have in [my] house.”
The remainder of the estate, land and mill, to be sold and the money to be equally divided among the children of the second marriage: Littleberry, Jesse, George, Judith, Molly, and Sally.
