His plantation was reputed to be of the finest and he married the well-to-do young widow of 2 husbands, Patience Downing Neale-Graham, dau. Capt. William Downing of Little Wicomico; his land adjoined John Web, Dennis's Branch, and Thomas Growder. Unfortunately his will has been lost, but a record shows that on 16 Aug. 1732 it was presented to court by John Coppedge and proved by the oath of Richd. Webb, a witness. Chas. Coppedge & Wm. Coppedge, executors named, came into court and refused the executorship. On the motion of the said John Coppedge, sole heir to the said Wm., he was appointed executor and David Fluker, Wm. Barrat, John Swanson, & Dennis Swanson appraisers.

1712-1716 Westmoreland County, Virginia Deeds-Wills No. 5, [John Frederick Dorman]; Page 149-51. 29 Sept. 1712. In the difference submitted to me by Capt. Geo. Eskridge, plantif, and Capt. Danll. McCarty, defendant, both of the County of Westmoreland, concerning the right of 150 acres patented by John Powell who died seized in fee of the land, my opinion is:
The supposed will of Powell being the foundation of the controversie, first I consider the words of the will and by comparing them with my authorities to me it seems clear they are sufficient to convey a fee simple to the children of the two daughters Rebecca Thomas and Margarett Bonam that were in being at least at the time of makeing the will and there being then such in being to take by the devise I need not carry my opinion to them that were born after altho: that to me seems no incongruous devise especially to such as were born in the testator's life tyme when his meaning is plain and intelligible and on that reason the books go and for my judgment in this point I rely on the following authorities chiefly: Modern Rep[or]ts, first part, pa: 100, Wilson & Robinson case; Modern Rep[or]ts 2d part, pa: 45, Reeves versus Winnington; see alsoe the same part, pa: 228, two cases adjudged in favour of the testator's meaning; see alsoe Styles Register, title estate, pa: 253. I have turn'd to most of the cases refer'd to in these cases but I omitt mentioning them.
In the next place I consider the circumstances of this will and indeed they are strange. It's observ'd by the defendant it has no date, administration was granted upon Powell's estate in Febry. 1668, the will never heard of till December 1678, then recorded the last of March 1679. One of the witnesses proves it before two magistrates by a dedimus out of Court upon no legal notice to the parties concern'd as can be found that November 28th 1688 Samll. Bonam Senr., who is noe wittness named in the will, offers his oath to the proof of it, but the Court refused to admitt him. That 'tis now 44 yeares since the administration gr[an]ted and 34
yeares since the recovery of Hardwick, since which the possession hath all along been in the defendant and those under whom he claimes with many other observations. On the other side the plaintiff alleadges many induceing arguements, the most materiall that those who were to take by this will were for a long time in their infancy, that within five or six yeares of the eldest comeing of age suite was brought against Pain and they have still been makeing their claimes ever since. Indeed 'tis apparent by exhibiting the will when it was done, getting what proof was had, endeavouring to strengthen it by Bonam's oath, added to the
suites since bro[ugh]t, the claime of the plaintiff hath been as antient and incessant as the title of the defendant. Upon the whole I take it to be a dark loos case and let's me into a wild field of equity how well my reason and conscience will guide me out of it I must submitt to the opinion of those concern'd.
But my determination and judgment is and I do award and decree: That the plaintiff Capt. George Eskridge (together with his wife Rebecca if the defendant desires it) convey over by authentique deeds an estate in fee in 150 acres unto the defendant Capt. Danll. McCarty and his heires such as McCarty shall reasonably require with warranty from all or any of those that may or might claime under Powell's will and that in consideration thereof the defendant pay the plaintiff £30 sterling by bills of exchange, the deeds to be executed and acknowledged within six mo[nths] after the date hereof and the bills of exchange to be delivered by 10 May next and that each party bear their own charges thus farr and this to be a finall friendly and neighbourly end between the contending parties.

25 March 1713. On the instance of Daniel McCarty and George Eskridge, Gent., admitted to record.

(1) Marriage to John Powell:
(2) Marriage to William Clements: In 1670, William Clements signed a marriage contract with Mrs. Frances Powell, widow of John Powell, whom he was about to marry.
(3) Marriage to William Payne: 1688, Westmoreland County, Virginia.

(1) 1688: Josiah Pitt of England and his wife Rebecca and Samuel Bonum Jr. sued William Payne, Westmoreland County, Virginia, for possession of 150 acres that had been patented to John Powell. The plaintiffs claimed that Powell left this land to "his then wife Joanna" and that after her death it was to go to the children of his step-daughters Rebecca Thomas and Margaret Bonum. William Payne was in possession of the land. John and Michael Powell of Boston, MA settled in Westmoreland County, Virginia, and John had m. Mrs. Joanna Philpott, widow of Robert Philpott, Gent., of Northumberland County, who had three children, Capt. Thomas Philpott, Rebecca (who m. Mr. Thomas before 1679, and m2. Josiah Pitt before 1688), and Margaret (who m. Samuel Bonum, Sr. before 1670.) John Powell died before 1668, leaving a nuncupative will which was not probated until 1679. The plaintiffs produced the will of John Powell and asked that Samuel Bonum, Sr. be admitted as a witness to it. The Court denied the application, and Samuel Bonum Sr. was ordered to pay William Payne for his unjust molestation. The land involved was on Bonum's Creek, later called Journeau's, or Rotank's. William Payne came into possession through his marriage to Frances. The patent was not recorded until 1712.

(1) 1688/9: William Clements' will was recorded in Westmoreland County, Virginia by John, son of Henry Clements of Torrington, Devonshire, England. His widow Frances in the meantime had married William Payne
