White vs. Moore--O. S. 168; N. S. 59--Bill, June, 1808.
Complainants are, viz: John, Nathaniel, James, William White,
Margaret (White), wife of James McFarland, Rebecca (White), wife of
William McFarland, Mary (White), wife of Robert Snodgrass, David
Greenlee and his children (infants), heir of their mother Jane, who
was Jane White, all being heirs and legal representatives of John
White, who was only heir-at-law and legal representative of Thomas
Boyd, who was son of Andrew Boyd, who died many years ago, leaving
a tract in Augusta County, 240 acres. Andrew died testate in
Augusta, devising to his wife and sons, Thomas and John. Andrew's
widow died intestate and her part descended to Thomas, the eldest
son. After Andrew's death, a patent issued in Andrew's name for an
entry of his for 115 acres, but some one struck out Andrew and
inserted John. John died testate, without issue, devising his lands
to his wife, Elizabeth, for her life, with reversion to her son,
John Varnum. Then Thomas Boyd died intestate, leaving complainants
his heirs. But Elizabeth Boyd and William Moore, who bought claim
of Varnum, set up an adverse claim. Answer says Andrew Boyd died
1750. A patent for the 115 acres issued in 1759 in name of John,
when he was not more than 12 or 15 years old. Andrew Boyd's will
dated 26th February, 1749, proved in Augusta 22d May, 1750, to
cousin, John White, if he came here to live. Wife, Rebecca.

(White), wife of Robert Snodgrass, David Greenlee and his children (infants,

CONFLICT: Note that record says James, not Joseph McFarland.

misinterpreted as Jas. (for James). Recheck original record.
