6) Isabella GleavesAbout 1800 –June 24, 1857“Isabella GLAVES”is the only daughter listed in Michael Glaves’ will. Her exact birthdate is not known but given that she married in 1817, it is assumed to be 1800 or earlier.Unlike her brothers, she did not inherit any land. Her inheritance was limited to a horse and a slave, “Item 7th, I give and bequeath to my daughter, Isabella GLAVES, the gray Diomede Filly and a negro girl named Priscilla”.She also was to receive money from four of her five brothers, “Item 8th,my sons, John, Michael, Thomas, and William, to pay my daughter, Isabella GLAVES, each $200 when her mother may think she should have it”. For some unexplained reason her brother Matthew was not required to make a similar payment.Nathaniel CartmellBefore 1800 –November 11, 1863Isabella GLEAVESmarried Nathaniel Cartmellon September 18, 1817 in Davidson County, Tennessee. Nathaniel was born in Fredrick County, Virginia some timebefore 1800 to Solomon and Elizabeth (Reiff) Cartmell. One source contained in the International Genealogical Index(IGI). places his date of birth as 1795. Nathaniel Cartmell Bible Solomon Cartmell, son of Nathaniel, 2d, was one of the sons who remained in Virginia, and settled near his old Homespun home. As previously stated, he married Elizabeth Raife (Ralph) Jany. 26, I792. Solomon died, leaving widow-and five children, just prior to 1804. His widow married James Leach, March 5, 1805. The children of Solomon were: Nathan, Nathaniel, Martin, Henry R., and Mary-all being minors. Their Orphans Accounts were settled in the courts of Frederick County, 1816 and 1819. Their mother we will not undertake to follow further, except to state that the second marriage was not agreeable to the children. The sons at an early age forsook mother and home, and for something better, sought homes in Tennessee. We find Nathaniel and Nathan in Wilson County, Tenn., in 1816, and Martin in same State in 1819, when their guardian settled with the Court. Henry R. wandered off to the wilds of Texas before she ran up the Lone Star. Mary remained with her uncles in Frederick County”.......“A son, William M., (son of Nathaniel and Isabella)became somewhat prominent, by a large bequest made by him to the Vanderbilt University. He has been dead many years. The other children were James, Thomas, Mary, Rachael, Sophia and Eliza.”Shenandoah Valley Pioneers and Their DescendantsNathaniel and Isabella settled in Lebanon, Wilson County, Tennessee living there their entire lives. During this period the coupleacquired a significant fortune.His Bible provides extensive documentation of their eight children who are profiled further in Chapter 9. Before her death on June 24, 1857, Isabella was preceded in death by six of her eight children: five daughters and one son. All the children died between the ages of 16-27. Nathaniel lived an additional six years passing away on November 11, 1863.Nathaniel Cartmell BibleThis author believes that additional documentation on Nathaniel and Isabella exists. At this point, further research is needed.
