[edit] Information on James SudderthID: I511706373 Name: James SUDDERTH Given Name: James Surname: Sudderth Sex: M Birth: Abt 1720 in Stafford County,VA 1 Death: 1 Sep 1800 in Albemarle County,VA 1 Change Date: 9 Aug 2002 1 Note: [Robinson.FTW] Note: From William Denney: "Said to have been christened in 1732 in Virginia. Buried near Covesville, Albemarle County, Va. JAMES SUDDARTH bought land from his father WILLIAM SUDDARTH in 1750 and received a land patent in 1756 on the branch of the Hardware River. He lived and died in a house which may have been his father's original house; now called "The Arrows". The house is next to where JAMES' son, JAMES had built a mill in 1800. The house is very large and the foundations are at least three feet thick. It was owned in 1961 by a naval officer named McGURDIE. The house was modernized over 100 years ago and is now covered with white stucco. The old mill stones are in the garden and other grinding stones are used for the entrance walk. It is on the east side of Route #29, one mile and a half south of Route #712. JAMES SUDDARTH died there, and his will was probated in September 1800, naming his wife, PATIENCE and sons, WILLIAM AND JAMES SUDDARTH.
Sources: Title: Robinson.FTW Note: Source Media Type: Other Repository: http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=:2363804&id=I511706373 From "The History of Albemarle County, Virginia", pg. 321: SUDDARTH William and James Suddarth were early settlers in the county. There were undoubtedly brothers. They and their descendants were located on the south fork of Hardware, between the Cross Roads and Covesville. Previous to 1750, William bought from Abraham Venable three hundred acres of a tract of fifteen hundred which Venable had patented in 1735 in that vicinity. In the year first named, William exchanged two hundred acres with James, for the same quantity which James had purchased from the same tract. William seems to have died before 1768 (note: he apparently moved to Burke County, North Carolina, where he died in 1785), as at that time Lawrence Suddarth, apparently his son and representative (note: this may have been their brother, Lawrence Suddarth), conveyed to James the other hundred acres of William's purchase from Venable. Lawrence was a resident of Amherst, but subsequently settled in Albemarle, on Green Creek. His wife's name was Martha, and he died in 1815. James died in 1800, and left at least three children, William, James and Mildred, the wife of John Turner. These brothers lived where the present Lunchburg Road crosses the south fork of Hardware, a mill known as Suddarth's Mill having conspicuously marked that locality for many years. In 1830, William was assessed with more than thirteen hundred acres of land. He died in 1832. It is said his wife was Martha Sumter, and his children were William H., James, Sarah, the wife of Robert Porterfield, Martha, the wife of John W. Dettor, and Mildred, the wife of William Page. His brother James (note: this was actually his brother's son, James) married Jane, daughter of John Randolph. He died about 1850, and his children were James, Randolph, William T., Mary, the wife of David Hicks, Patience, the wife of Rice Oaks, Thomas, John and Benjamin.

Will of James Suddarth: Will Book 4, page 52, Albemarle Co., VA In the name of God Amen: I, James Suddarth Senr. of Albemarle County Virginia being in a low state of bodily health but of perfect mind and memory do make this my last will and testament and first of all I do recommend my body to the Earth to be buried in a decent manner at the discretion of my executors in hope of a glorious resurrection and my Soul to God who gave it and as to my worldly estate I dispose of it in the following manner Viz: First I give and bequeath to my beloved wife Patience Suddarth peaceable possession of the house and plantation whereon I now live, during her natural life, as also of my Negroes Moses, Taylor, Mary and Lidda to return, together with their increase to my children, at her death. It is further my will that at the division of my estate that she shall take as much of my stock and household furniture as she shall judge necessary for her support. Secondly it is my will and desire that the land on which I now live and have had in possession of a long time together with the land purchased of Capt. P. Cock be equally divided between my two sons William and James Suddarth and in case that the land purchased of Capt. John Lewis (or Sims) about which there is a dispute at present should be made good to them it is my desire that that also should be equally divided between them, but in case Capt. Lewis (or Sims) or his executors should fail to make a lawful title to said land it is my desire that the money already paid toward the purchase of said land, which of course must be refunded, shall be equally divided as also the balance of the money that was to be paid toward said purchase. Thirdly it is my desire that after the allotment of my lands to my two sons, as has been mentioned above, that then an equal division of my remaining property, negroes, stock, and household furniture take place amongst my children counting in what of my property has already been given away to my children. In consideration of this my last will and testament I have hereunto set my hand and affixed my seal this seventeenth day of January in the year of our Lord 1796. James Suddarth Senr. his X mark Test. William Irwin William P. Patterson Mary X Martin P.S. I do hereby approve my two sons William and James Suddarth in conjunction with Mr. Tandy Key and M. L. Murrill Executors of this my last will and testament. James Suddarth Senr. P.S. It is also my desire that as to the property already given to my children at a distance they may not be put to the necessity of bringing it to the spot for the sake of appraisement after my decease for this reason viz: that it would be nearly as much expense as such property would be worth to remove it back and forward to such a distance. It is also my desire that they may not be required to account for the profits arising from such property since the time of its being given. That this is an additional clause to my last will and testament I signify by affixing my hand and seal this twenty fifth day of December 1799. James Suddarth his X mark Test. William Irwin N. B. Circumstances have been somewhat altered since the writing of my will as above except I think proper to make the following alteration viz: I give and bequeath to my wife Patience Suddarth as above except save the mill that my son James has since built and the water and water course to support it, and the distillery that he has erected, together with the house in which he now lives, together with a barn that he has in contemplation to build which he has already paid for. It is also my will that my lands as specified above, be equally divided between my two sons according to the lines which they have agreed on that is to say, Beginnning at the Ivy Ridge on Joseph Sutherland's line and coming up the old road as far as it runs in a straight direction thence to the Psimmon Mountain to the upper corner of my fence adjoining Skylar Harris line. That these are the amendments according as circumstances have altered since the time in which I wrote the above is witnessed by affixing my hand and seal as above this eleventh day of March Anno. Dom. 1800. James Suddarth his X mark Test. William Irwin Mary X Martin At a court held for Albemarle County the 1st day of September 1800 this last will and testament of James Suddarth Senr. was brought into Court and proved by the oath of William Patterson and Mary Martin two of the witnesses thereto and by the court ordered to be recorded and on motion of William and James Suddarth two of the executors therein named certificate is granted them for obtaining a probate in due form of security and qualified accordingly.
