Is the Will image shown on this page attached to the wrong person. The will places Samuel Colville's property on Cedar Creek, which suggest it is for a Samuel in the line of James Colville (possible brother of Joseph Colville who settled on the Opequon near Yost Hite's Inn. This is probably for the Samuel Colville who died 1777|1778, and identified Samuel as an Executor but did not identify him as his son. The Samuel of the present will says he is of advanced age. He's probably at least 60, implying a YOB of c1730.
He was probably born before the families settled on HIte's and Fairfax's grants.
He says he got his 360 acre parcel directly from Fairfax, so we should probably be able to pin him down. Bill Willis 14:24, 29 September 2024 (UTC) |
