Person:Adam Ivey (2)

Research notes

READ THE FOLLOWING REGARDING THE PARENTS OF ADAM:

1. Chapter IV, The Henry Ivey I Family, page 104, by Robert Allison Ivey
2. The Line of Adam Ivey of Charles City County, page 53, by Robert W Baird

These are possible land deeds for Adam Ivey:

22 May 1738 - he purchased 185 acres on the south side of Poplar Swamp in Surry (later Sussex County) from William Eppes of Prince George County. See Surry County Deeds & Wills Book 8, p853. This is described as two patents to John McLemore, one of 100 acres in Sussex and another of 130 (sic) acres in Southampton.

29 May 1760 - Land patent of Henry Tyler of Sussex County, 29 May 1760, of 1,454 acres is adjacent to land owed by Adam Ivey and others. Land Patent Book 33, page 813.

6 March 1771 - he bought an adjoining 250 acres from Joel McLemore, described as two adjacent patents, one in Sussex and the other partly in Sussex and partly in Southampton. Witnessed by Henry Ivey. See Sussex County Deed Book D, p317. The two patents to John McLemore can be found in Patent Book 12, p441 (1725) and Patent Book 28, p723 (1749). The former patent was bisected by the county line.

His will was signed on 3 Aug 1789 and proved on 7 May 1792 in Sussex County, Virginia. He mentions sons, Ephraim and Peebles; his wife, Mary; his daughter, Millie, wife of Nicholas Prince; daughter Winnie (wife of Henry Ivey); daughter, Christian Ivey; sons, Samson and Aaron Ivey. Witnesses: Gilliam Macklemore, Burwell Macklemore, and David Mason.

Further noted, Winifred's will mentions her siblings: Ephraim, Peoples, Sampson, Aaron's wife (Betty), Christian, Luraney (dau. of Aaron?), and Liddy, wife of Peoples.

   Adam Ivey ? (c1715? – 1792) His placement in this line is completely arbitrary, for (by a similar argument as above) he is most plausibly a son of either George or Henry Ivey. We can eliminate John Ivey as a potential father, as he left a will naming his children. Likewise, two other potential fathers are unlikely: Adam Ivey II had left Virginia by 1726, and Gilbert Ivey was last sighted in Brunswick County. Neither of the remaining possible fathers, George and Henry, seems to have lived in Surry County, but each had a provable son who lived in Surry at the time this Adam Ivey first appears. Adam Ivey first appears as a resident of Surry County on 22 May 1738 when he purchased 185 acres on the south side of Poplar Swamp in Surry (later Sussex County) from William Eppes of Prince George County.[326] The land, described in a 1732 patent to Eppes, was a mile west of the Isle of Wight (later Southampton) County line, and just north of Ploughman’s Swamp. Hugh Ivey (son of Henry) lived in the northern part of what is now Sussex County, and Henry Ivey (son of George) was of Surry when bought land within a mile or two of Adam Ivey just a few months after Adam’s own purchase. (Henry’s purchase was about fives miles away, on the Southampton side of the county line.) There are no other clues to which family Adam belongs. Noting that his daughter Winifred married Henry Ivey, provably a grandchild of George Ivey, I have chosen to arbitrarily assume this was a marriage to a second cousin rather than to a first cousin.
