William Naylor

pt 3.

1 first discovered the identity of William Naylor who died in Hampshire County, VA (WV) through a probate filing in Missouri.  That filing led to the original probate in Virginia and the wealth of information I found on William and his family there.

William died 4 Mar 1840 in Romney leaving his wife Susan (McGuire) and eight children by his two wives.  Susan moved to Selby County, Missouri where he oldest son Edward had settled sometime before 1850.  At that time the estate of William had still not been totally settled and Susan had brought slaves with her from Virginia.  In order to sort it all out probate documents were filed in Missouri but not before a few lawsuits had also been filed.

This is the will of William Naylor.  At the time of his death he had 11 slaves.  Although he didn't free them directly on his death, he did direct that they could not be sold for life and gave a timetable for manumission of all but the oldest who he said should be cared for for life.  When Susan died in 1850 the slaves were placed in the care of son Edward, some were rented out to William Moffat.  Edward in the meantime died in 1856 and when executor of the estate Edward McDonald tried to gain possession Moffat claimed ownership.  resulting in a lawsuit in 1859 in Missouri.
