Joseph Hale

Partition of Estate

 

 

Decree 4 Nov 1818. 796 acres on Pigg R. and 900 acres on Bull Run. In 1819 commissioners in case of Jane and Lewis Hale vs. Hale divided 900 acres of Joseph Hale, dec’d. Initially the estate was divided into seven parts to each of the infant [minor] children, after allotting 1/3 dower to Abraham Jones in right of his wife. Sarah. Note: Inexplicably There are eight children named and actually eight parts divided. Widow: Sarah, (remarried to Abraham Jones). Children: Jane, Elizabeth (A. Jones, gdn.), Susannah, George, Lewis P., Joseph, Abigail, Sally. Note: See Franklin Co. Chancery Case 1836-005 re sale of previously partitioned land on Bull Run. Prior decrees dated 7 Feb 1825 and 8 Nov 1827; final decree 7 Mar 1836. Abigail Hale and Elizabeth Hale, [minors] sued by Sarah Jones, formerly Sarah Hale, their next friend and Guardian. Apparently one of the tracts of land was not worth what it was supposed to be worth and they sought to sell the land and divide the proceeds.


Sarah, (remarried to Abraham Jones). He was guardian to each of the children at some point in time.


Initial Allocation to the Children:

Jane - ½ of Finney’s, Kerby’s and Boyd’s tracts on Pigg R.

Susana - ½ of Finney’s, Kerby’s and Boyd’s tracts on Pigg R.

George - ½ of Turner’s heirs and Prunty’s tracts

Lewis P. - ½ of Turner’s heirs and Prunty’s tracts

Joseph - Land conveyed by Thomas Sr. to Joseph

Abigail - 1/3 part of Bull Run Tract

Elizabeth - 1/3 part of Bull Run Tract
