History of Hancock County
John and Michael Fishel and two sisters settled on the east half of the southwest quarter of Section 9, in March, 1828, where they were joined by their father, John, and brother, Daniel, the following autumn. The same year John, Jr., married Sarah, daughter of Judge McKinnis, and about 1851 removed to Iowa. The father and Daniel both died in the township in 1849, the former being eighty-four years old at the time of his decease. In 1832 Michael got married, and in 1833 settled on Section 34, Blanchard Township, where he resided till 1876, when he removed to McComb, of which village he is still a resident. | FISHEL, John Jr (I16022)

History Of Hancock County
Chicago: Warner, Beers & Co. 1886
Chapter I, pg 198-199
In the history of Liberty Township, the Indian village that once stood on the north bank of the Blanchard, in Section 7, is spoken of. It is generally believed that the Wyandots had a settlement here up to the treaty of 1818, when all these lands having been ceded to the Government, this band removed to their reservation at the Big Spring. Further down the river, in Putnam County, the Ottawas had. up to the time of their removal to the West, two villages, one on the site of Ottawa, and another two miles above that point. These towns were known as Upper and Lower 'Tawa, the latter being on the site of Ottawa, and the former between that and Gilboa. The Wyandot village in Liberty Township was surrounded by a clearing of some twelve acres, whereon the Indians had a graveyard, and a plum orchard. It has been claimed that an earth fortification once ran along the brow of the hill overlooking the river. Careful examination of what is said to be the remains of this defensive work leads the writer to believe the cut back of the elevation was made by the washings of the surface drainage into the river. There is nothing here to sustain the theory of an artificial earthwork, and no reasonable grounds upon which to base such a conclusion. The site of this village was deserted prior to the coming of any white settlers to its vicinity, and was subsequently owned by Robert McKinnis.
Chapter II, pg 208
In the spring of 1822 Robert McKinnis and sons, Charles, Philip, James and John, all well remembered pioneers, settled on the Blanchard about six miles northwest of Findlay, in what is now Liberty Township. His son-in-law, Jacob Poe, came the following December, and John Gardner and Joseph White in 1823. Thomas and Ebenezer Wilson, John Gardner, Jr., and Robert McCullough settled in Liberty in 1826; William Wade, Joshua Jones and John Travis in 1827; John Fishel and sons, John, Michael and Daniel, Jeremiah Pressor and Addison Hampton in 1828, and Alfred Hampton and Johnson Bonham in 1829.
pg 216
The first marriage in Hancock County was contracted September 2, 1824, Samuel Kepler and Rachel McKinnis being the happy couple. Mr. Kepler settled on the Maumee in 1822, and ere his death in the fall of 1872, gave the following account of his marriage to Miss McKinnis, while on a visit to her father's home, in what is now Liberty Township: "I sent for my license by mail, to Robert Forsyth, clerk of the court of Wood County. Not knowing me he refused to grant it, so that my future father-in-law had to go to Perrysburg to procure it. We were married in Mr. McKinnis' house by Wilson Vance, Esq., being the first couple married in Hancock County. After making a canoe, which took five or six days, my wife packed her little outfit of household goods into it, and we literally 'paddled our own canoe' to where I now live."
Chapter III, pg 227-230
On the 28th of May, 1823, the same board ordered "that so much of the town of Waynesfield as is included in the unorganized county of Hancock be set off and organized, and the same is hereby organized into a township by the name of Findlay, and that the election for township officers be held on the 1st of July, A. D. 1823, at the house of Wilson Vance, in the said township." The tally sheet on record at Bowling Green shows that thirteen votes were cast at the election, and that Robert McKinnis and Wilson Vance were elected justices of the new township. Job Chamberlin, Sr., William Moreland and Benjamin Chandler were the judges of election, and Wilson Vance and Matthew Reighly, clerks. The second election took place April 5, 1824, when eighteen votes were cast. Job Chamberlin, Sr., William Moreland and Jacob Poe were the judges, and Matthew Reighly and Wilson Vance, clerks of election. Job Chamberlin, Sr., Wilson Vance and Jacob Poe were chosen trustees; Matthew Eeighly, clerk; Job Chamberlin, Sr., treasurer: Wilson Vance, lister; Philip McKinnis, constable; John Hunter and John Gardner, fence viewers, and Robert McKinnis and William Moreland, overseers of the poor. All of these men were pioneers of Hancock County, and are fully mentioned in the history of the respective townships to which their homes subsequently belonged. It is unnecessary to follow up in like manner the elections held in Findlay Township in 1825, 1826 and 1827, for, though many new names appear among the electors of those years, nearly all will be found in the lists of voters who took part in. the April and October elections of 1828, the names of whom are given in this chapter.
Findlay Township then embraced the whole county, and in compliance with the third section of this act an election was held on the 7th of April, 1828, the polling place being at the old log schoolhouse in the village of Findlay, now the site of the Indianapolis, Bloomington & Western Railroad depot. The poll book on record in the Clerk's office shows that seventy-four electors voted at that election, the following list of whom, together with the present names of the townships wherein their homes were then located, will fairly illustrate the sparsely settled condition of the county fifty-eight years ago:
James McKinnis, Liberty. Robert McKinnis, Liberty. Charles McKinnis, Liberty. Philip McKinnis, Liberty.
Commissioners. - Job Chamberlin, 31; Charles McKinnis, 35; Godfrey Wolford, 74; John P. Hamilton, 41; and John Long, 39. Godfrey Wolford, John Long and John P. Hamilton were elected.
These officials served until the succeeding general election, held October 14, 1828. The county then contained three townships, viz.: Findlay, Amanda and Welfare, the name of the last mentioned being subsequently changed to Delaware. The voters of Findlay Township at that election were as follows:
John C. Wickham, Wilson Vance, Squire Carlin, Bleuford Hamilton, David Foster, Asher Wickham, John Jones, Job Chamberlin, Edwin S. Jones, Thomas Chester, John Boyd, John Simpson. James McKinnis, Charles McKinnis, Reuben Hale, William Moreland, Jr., Joseph Johnson, John Travis, Ebenezer Wilson, Minor T. Wickham, Jacob Poe, Joseph A. Sargent, George W. Simpson, John P. Hamilton, James B. Moore, Robert McCullough, Joseph DeWitt, Matthew Reighly, William Wade, Joshua Jones, William Moreland, William DeWitt, Simeon Ransbottom, Joshua Hedges, John Hunter, Robert McKinnis, William Taylor, Thomas Slight, John Tullis. James Peltier.
...At that election John Long, John P. Hamilton and Charles McKinnis were elected commissioners, their opponents being William J. Greer, Mordecai Hammond and Godfrey Wolford. Squire Carlin and John C. Wickham were the candidates for sheriff, and the latter was elected. Matthew Reighly was again a candidate for auditor, but was defeated by William Hackney. Edwin S. Jones was elected treasurer over Joshua Hedges. Thomas Slight beat Reuben W. Hamlin for coroner; and Edwin S. Jones was defeated by Don Alonzo Hamlin for the assessorship. There was no great strife for the offices in those days, as the remuneration was so very small that few cared to spend their time in such a poor paying business. Yet some one had to discharge the duties of the respective positions, and it is highly creditable to the pioneers that good men were usually chosen
Chapter VI, pg 265-270
Prior to the organization of Hancock County, all of its judicial business, excepting that transacted by its justices of the peace, was done at the county seat of Wood County, to which Hancock was attached until March 1, 1828, Hon. Ebenezer Lane was then the president judge of this circuit, and the same Legislature that passed the act organizing this county also elected Abraham Huff, Robert McKinnis and Ebenezer Wilson, associate judges of said county. The first meeting of the court of common pleas of Hancock County was held, March 14, 1828, in the old log schoolhouse erected the previous year, near the site of the Indianapolis, Bloomington & Western Railroad depot. The three associates were present and composed the court, its only business being the appointment of Wilson Vance as clerk pro tem, of said court.
The first regular term of court was opened in the same building, which was used until the erection of the first Court House, June 3, 1828, Hons. Abraham Huff, Robert McKinnis and Ebenezer Wilson on the bench; Don. Alonzo Hamlin, sheriff; Wilson Vance, clerk; and Anthony Casad, of Bellefontaine, prosecuting attorney. The session lasted only a part of one day. Elijah T. Davis was appointed administrator of the estate of Thomas Wilson, deceased, with Joshua Hedges and Squire Carlin as securities in the sum of $400. Joshua Hedges, Jacob Poe and Charles McKinnis were appointed appraisers of said estate. Mr. Wilson was a pioneer of Liberty Township, and a brother of Judge Wilson, then upon the bench. The citizens of the newly erected townships of Amanda and Welfare (now Delaware), were ordered to elect a justice of the peace for their respective townships. The court then appointed Wilson Vance recorder of Hancock County for the term of seven years, after which it adjourned.
The second term began November 19, 1828, the same judges and officers forming the personnel of the court as in the previous sessions. The following grand jury was impaneled: Joseph DeWitt, John P. Hamilton, Jacob Poe, Asa Lake, Charles McKinnis, Reuben Hale, Mordecai Hammond, William Wade, John Boyd, Henry George, William Moreland, James McKinnis, William Taylor, Edwin S. Jones and John C. Wickham. The court appointed William Taylor foreman of the panel. A venire for a petit jury was also returned by the sheriff at this session, but only eight of the panel answered to their names, viz.: John Beard, Joseph Johnson, John Huff, William Moreland, Jr., John Tullis, John J. Hendricks, Thomas Thompson and James Peltier; and it appearing that there was no business for a petit jury at this term the jurors present were discharged from further attendance. Rachel Wilson, widow of Thomas Wilson, was appointed guardian of her two children. Rebecca and Jane, with Charles McKinnis and Jacob Poe as sureties in the sum of $800. The grand jury finding no business to transact was dismissed by the court. A license to "vend merchandise" at his residence in Findlay until April 1, 1829, was granted to William Taylor upon the payment of $2.25. The same gentleman was appointed surveyor of Hancock County, and William Hackney, William Taylor and Mordecai Hammond examiners of common schools. As an illustration of the remuneration county officers then received for their services, the following items from the minutes of this term of court will suffice: "Ordered by the court that there be allowed to the sheriff of this county for extra services the sum of $15, to be paid one-half at each term of this court. Ordered by the court that there be allowed to Don Alonzo Hamlin the sum of $10 for his extra services as sheriff of this county for the present year. Ordered by the court that there be allowed to the clerk of this court the sum of $10 each year, to be paid one-half at each term of this court." This closed the business of the second regular session.
...The next session began April 24, 1829, and lasted two days. The same judges and officers of the preceding terms were present except the sheriff; John C. Wickham having been chosen to succeed Don Alonzo Hamlin, at the previous October election. The following grand jurors were impaneled at this term: Robert Long, Amos Beard, Thomas Cole, John Shoemaker, Reuben "W. Hamlin, Samuel Sager, William J. Greer, Robert Elder, John Hunter, Isaac Johnson, Nathan Frakes, Reuben Hale, Jacob Foster, William Moreland, Jr., and Nathan Williams. William J. Greer was appointed foreman. The only indictment found at this term was against Thomas Slight, charging him with petit larceny. William Taylor was granted a license for one year to keep a tavern at his house in Findlay, for which he was charged $5. The court appointed Anthony Casad, prosecutor for one year, and agreed to pay him the sum of $40 for his services. What would our present prosecuting attorneys think of such a salary? On the second day of the session, the following petit jury was impaneled: Van B. Hancock, Joshua Hedges, John Elder, Selden Blodget, Sampson Dildine, James McKinnis, William De Witt, Josiah Elder, Thomas F. Johnston, Asa M. Lake, Asa Lake and Matthew Reighly. Thomas Slight was tried by this jury, and found guilty of petit larceny as charged in the indictment. His counsel made a motion for a new trial, which was granted by the court. Bleuford Hamilton and Eli Powell were the principal prosecuting witnesses. In April, 1830, the case against. Mr. Slight was dismissed by the court at the request of the prosecuting attorney, who claimed there was not sufficient evidence to sustain the charge. This closed the business of the term, and "the court adjourned without day."
On the 7th of November, 1829, the fourth regular term of the common pleas was held at Findlay, with the same judges and officers as the previous term. The grand jurors of this session were William Moreland, Jr., George Flenner, Squire Carlin, Asa Lake, Jacob Foster, John Bashore, John Hunter, Edwin S. Jones, John Boyd, Don Alonzo Hamlin, Asher Wickham, Joshua Powell, Isaac Johnson, Joseph A. Sargent and Bass Rawson. This jury returned bills of indictment against Charles, Philip and James McKinnis for assault and battery, after which it was discharged. Letters of administration were granted to Sarah Beard and John J. Hancock on the estate of John Beard, deceased, of Amanda Township, John P. Hamilton and Thomas F. Johnston being sureties in the sum of $300. Andrew Robb, David Egbert and Thomas Cole were appointed appraisers of said property. The assault and battery cases of Charles and Philip McKinnis were continued till the next term of court; but that against their brother James was at once tried before the following jury: Andrew Eobb, Warren Hancock, Peter George, Minor T. Wickham, Simeon Ransbottom, John Long, John J. Hendricks, Mordecai Hammond, Van E. Hancock, William De Witt, Job Chamberlin and Thomas Slight. The jury failed to agree, and the case was then, continued. The case in debt of Henry McWhorter vs. Samuel Sargent and Abraham Huff; the larceny suit of the State of Ohio vs. Thomas Slight; and the petition to sell land of William Taylor, administrator of the estate of John Patterson, deceased, vs. Eliza Patterson and heirs, were all continued until the succeeding term of court.
The next term was opened April 30, 1830, with Hon. Ebenezer Lane, president judge, and Robert McKinnis and Ebenezer Wilson, associate judges, on the bench. This was the first session of court held in Hancock County at which the president judge was present. The following grand jury was impaneled: Adam Woodruff, Joseph Johnson, Alfred Hampton, George Shaw, Joseph A. Sargent, Mordecai Hammond, Charles McKinnis, Simeon Ransbottom, Sampson Dildine, John George Flenner, Edwin S. Jones, Peter George, William J. Greer, Jacob Baker and John J. Hendricks. Mordecai Hammond was appointed foreman of the jury, and Amos Beard, Nathan Williams, James Gibson, Reuben W. Hamlin and Peter Shaw, who had been summoned with the other jurors, were designated as talesmen. The pending petition to sell land of William Taylor, administrator of John Patterson, was granted at this term. The will of John Wolford, deceased, of Delaware Township, was admitted to probate, and Absalom W. Wolford, who was named in said will as executor thereof, recognized as such by the court. Letters of administration were granted to Elizabeth Miller and William McCloud, on the estate of Isaac Miller, deceased, whose cabin stood near the site of Van Buren. John P. Hamilton and Nathan Frakes were sureties for the administrators in the sum of $600; and William Taylor, Squire Carlin and Jacob Foster appraisers of said estate.
The two damage suits of John P. Hamilton against Charles and Philip McKinnis, for assault and battery (which trouble resulted from the erection of Old Town Township, and is fully spoken of in the chapter on Liberty Township) were tried at this session. That of Charles came before the following jury: Jacob Elder, Don Alonzo Hamlin, Robert L. Strother, Joseph Egbert, Joshua Powell, Nathan Williams, William J. Greer, John J. Hendricks, Mordecai Hammond, Peter George, Thomas Thompson and William Moreland, who found the defendant guilty, and assessed the damages at $75 and plaintiff's costs of suit. The trial of his brother Philip came next, the following citizens composing the jury: Jacob Baker, Alfred Hampton, Thomas Slight, Absalom W. Wolford, Willis Ward, James Gibson, John Shoemaker. Matthew Reighly, H. B. Strother, Aquilla Gilbert, Joseph Johnson and Reuben W. Hamlin. He, too. was found guilty as charged, and the damages fixed at $30 and costs. When these suits were decided the indictment of the State still remained against the McKinnis brothers. Both pleaded guilty of assault and battery, asked for "the mercy of the court," and were each fined $1 and cost of prosecution. Thus ended one of the most prominent pioneer events in the annals of the courts of Hancock County, the circumstances connected therewith being yet vividly remembered by many surviving early settlers.
The last term of the pioneer courts of which any special cognizance will be taken in this chapter, was held November 1, 1830, with Judge Lane and the three associates-Huff, McKinnis and Wilson being on the "woolsack." The grand jurors of this session were as follows: William Hackney, John Dukes, John Fishel, Philip McKinnis, William Wolford, John Rose, Richard Dukes, Minor T. Wickham, Godfrey Wolford, Jacob Foster, William L. Henderson, Alfred Purcell, James McKinnis, Selden Blodget and Joseph Johnson. This jury indicted Nathan Frakes, one of the early-time "bruisers," for assault and battery on Henry Shaw, a pioneer of Findlay, but the prosecuting witness not appearing in court when the case was called the indictment was quashed. The suit against the commissioners by Joshua Hedges and others was decided at this sitting, the proceedings of the board in the erection and organization of Old Town Township being reversed and annulled. A grocery license for one year was granted to John Bashore, upon the payment of $10. These licenses were granted annually, and always included the sale of whisky-one of the principal commodities of pioneer groceries and taverns, and without the sale of which few of their proprietors could have accumulated the handsome competencies left at their decease. William Taylor, William L. Henderson. Bass Rawson, Thomas F. Johnston and Robert L. Strother were appointed examiners of common schools for the term of two years. The court then ordered that the sheriff and clerk be allowed the sum of $10 each per annum, for extra services, to be paid half yearly, after which the session was "adjourned without day." The first three years of the journal of the court of common pleas of Hancock County have now been run through, giving the court items and lists of grand and petit jurors at each term. The only importance attached thereto is because these events belong to pioneer days- that period about which so much genuine interest centers. The principal reason for giving the names of the jurors is that they were pioneers-a part of the brave vanguard who laid the foundation of the county's present prosperity-and to perpetuate a record of the men who figured in the first judicial affairs of the county.
The associate judges of Hancock County from its organization up to the abolition of the office were as follows: Abraham Huff, March, 1828, to March, 1835; Robert McKinnis, March, 1828, to March, 1835; Ebenezer Wilson, March, 1828, to March, 1842; Robert L. Strother, March, 1835, to March, 1842; John W. Baldwin, March, 1835, resigned in July, 1835; Major Bright, appointed in August, 1835, served till March, 1836; William Roller, March, 1836, to March, 1849; John Ewing, March, 1842, to March, 1849; Michael Price, March, 1849, to March, 1851; John Cooper, March, 1849, to March, 1852; Gamaliel C. Barnd, March, 1849, to March, 1852; Levi Sampson, March, 1851, to March, 1852.

John C. Wickham, his wife, Barbara, son Minor T. and daughter, Lucy, came from Ross County, Ohio, in the spring of 1827, his son, William, coming out a few years afterward. Wickham built a cabin on east Main Cross Street, and in the winter of 1827-28, taught school in the old hewed-log schoolhouse, erected the former year on the northwest corner of East and Crawford Streets. In October, 1828, he was elected sheriff, and served two years; and he was also postmaster of Findlay, from July, 1829 to June, 1831, being the second postmaster of the village. In 1832 his son William located in Blanchard Township, and the next year the parents and Minor T. also removed to that subdivision. The daughter, Lucy, married James McKinnis. Mr. Wickham taught school there, and in 1835 was elected justice of the peace, but died soon after, while on a business trip to Wayne County, Ohio.
Chapter XXXII, Part III
The old log grist and saw-mill, built under the supervision of Wilson Vance, by Vance & Cory, in 1824, was the first manufacturing establishment erected in the county. These mills stood on the site of the present Carlin flouring-mill north of the river, and were a great blessing to the first settlers. As there has been some difference of opinion as to the year these mills were built, we herewith append the evidence of Mrs. Elizabeth Eberly (daughter of Benjamin J. Cox) and Job Chamberlin, the only pioneers now living who have any personal knowledge of the circumstance. "We removed," says Mrs. Eberly, "from Fort Findlay to the Maumee in 1823, and the mill had not yet been commence'd, but was built the year after we left. The race, however, was dug out while we were there, but that is as far as the work progressed prior to our removal." Mr. Chamberlin, who came in February, 1822, agrees with the statement of Mrs. Eberly, and in his "Personal Reminiscences," written in 1874, gives the following account of the building of the mill: "Father had brought flour and meal enough to supply his family one year. Hon. Joseph Vance had promised to erect a mill the next season, but it was not until about two years and a half afterward that Messrs. Vance & Cory, the original proprietors of Findlay, built a little log mill about the place where Carlin's mill now stands." These statements would make the year 1824 as the date the old mills were erected. In 1828 James McKinnis and Reuben Hale rented the mills of Vance & Cory, and ran them, about a year. Early in 1834 they were bought by John Campbell, together with fifteen acres of land. In the tax list of that year the mills are valued at ?900. Campbell tore down the old log building in the winter of 1834-35 and erected a frame mill, which he ran till the spring of 1837, when the property was purchased by S. & P. Carlin. Several years afterward the Carlins rebuilt the mills, and they have been rebuilt once more since that time, making the present mill the fourth one on that site. The saw-mill was operated up to within a few years ago.
Other References from the history books:
Other settlers of this period were Robert McCullough, John and Michael Fishel, William Wade, Joshua Jones, John Travis and Addison and Alfred Hampton. McCullough was a native of Ireland, and a brother-in-law of Robert McKinnis. In the spring of 1826 he came from Ross County, Ohio, and "squatted" across the river from the latter. He was a large, muscular man, of great vitality and endurance, and, like the McKinnis boys, was regarded as one of the "best men" in the county. He never owned any land here, and in a few years removed to the Maumee, settling in what is now Defiance County.
Cemeteries - North of the Blanchard, on Section 7, is perhaps the oldest public cemetery in the township. Here, on a sloping hill overlooking the river, are buried many of the pioneers. Robert McKinnis and wife, Charles McKinnis and wife, Jacob Poe and wife, John Fishel, Sr., Job Chamberlin, Sr., and others of the very first settlers found their last resting place on this grass-covered hill. Another old graveyard is located on the ridge road in Section 21, where Isaac Comer, Peter Treece, Abraham Schoonover, John Povenmire and many other pioneers of Liberty Township and vicinity sleep their last sleep.

McKinnis-Poe
NELSON POE
Came to this township when he was but three months old, having been born in Ross Co, O., September 4th, 1822. He was the third son of Jacob Poe. His mother was a daughter of Judge McKinnis. His paternal ancestors were of German extraction, whilst his mother's people were Scoth Irish. The father of Mr Poe settled on the farm now owned and occupied by the subject of this sketch. At the time of his coming here there were bnt [sic] a very few families in the county, but the Poe family was possessed of that kind of pluck which never gave way before difficulties, or became discouraged at privations.
On his father's side, Mr. Poe is distantly related to the celebrated historical fighting brothers, Adam and Andrew Poe, and also to the eminent divine, Rev. Adam Poe. Farming has always been the leading occupation of Mr. Poe, although during the winter seasons of thirty years, he taught a country school. He is a man of fair education, and has always been regarded as a successful educator. He may well be termed a self-educated man, for his school privileges were very limited. He is a member of the Presbyterian Church at present, and has been a church member for the past sixteen years.
In 1846 he was married to Mary Lytle, who still lives to add to his enjoyment. They are the parents of three children. The eldest son was killed during the late war. The second son - Luther - resides in Fostoria, and the youngest, a daughter, is at home with her parents. Mr. P.'s school days were passed in the old log school house, under the instruction of such primitive teachers as Richard Wade, Benj. Cummins and others.
Mr. Poe has resided in this county longer than any other person, with the single exception of Job Chamberlain, of Findley [sic]. He has witnessed the steady but great transformation of a wilderness into fruitful fields; he has seen the dense forests disappear, and in their places spring to life, beautiful fertile fields; has lived to see an uninhabited country settled by an industrious, thrifty, wealthy, happy people, with school houses and churches in every neighborhood; to see railroads built, traversed by the iron horse drawing the trains well laden with the products of this rich county; to see telegraph wires stretched all over the land. And in this great work he has been no idle spectator. | POE, Nelson (I16030)

HISTORY: A tradition as mentioned by several of the lineage, says there were 3 Farley brothers who came from Ireland in 1740. Two of these may have been James and Thomas, but have not found any info to verify the connection, and have not been able to find who the 3rd bro was. James and Thomas may have had the same number of ch and maybe the same names, but I am of the opinion that Cousin Wm. H. Farley, late of Boise, Id has the RIGHT ch with the WRONG parents. Thomas and Jane lived in NC, went to York Co., Pa where they bought land on Patterson Creek in Hampshire Co., Virginia (now Mineral Co., W Va). This is where they lived until Thomas died in 1782. The 1771 Land Rec shows Thomas Farely living in York Co., Pa., at that time. Thomas served in the Rev Was as Private in Dunmore's War 1774, Virginia Militia. He is registered in the "Daughters of the American Colonist"; DAC # 17593. The first 6 ch are listed in his will. It has not been proven about the last 3. [Tom Morgan]
Will of Thomas Farley:
I first leave to my son John Farley the plantation where I now live, and he the said John Farley is to pay my son Andrew Farley Fifty Pounds old way in Gales at ten pounds per year until the fifty pounds is paid. I likewise leave to my beloved wife the third part of the said plantation during her natural life and all the moveables to be divided at her decease according to her own discretion. Also I leave unto my son David Farley, five shillings in Silver. I also leave unto my daughter Mary Farley her bed furniture and one red cow, and yearling heifer or steer. Likewise I leave unto my daughters Margaret and Eliner Two shillings and sixpence to each of them.
Okey Johnson and William Blackburn were named executors. Thomas signed the will with his mark.
An inventory of the estate was approved 9 August 1782 by John Jones, John Pearsall, and Nathaniel Parker. It was recorded 12 November 1782. It consisted of:
One gray Stallion
One brindled cow and calf
One bell & bell Collar

These items had a total value of 19 pounds, 2 shillings, and 6 pence.
Two of his daughters, Sarah and Jean, were not mentioned in his will. They were already married and had been dowered. Hannah Farley who married Thomas Lawson is thought by some to have been a daughter of Thomas. Others do not believe so.
