Death and Probate

In her will dated 27 September 1804,[2][3] Margrat Carraway of Cumberland Co., North Carolina, widow, “being weak of body,” bequeathed one negro girl each to her granddaughters Elizabeth and Jeannet, both being daughters of her son James Carraway. She then, having no debts, granted the residue of her estate to her son Thomas Carraway. Her sons James and Thomas were appointed her executors. The will was proved by Nancy Bumpuss and recorded by the court in the March Term of 1808.
