[10631] From the wording of his father's will in Jan. 1837, it would appear that David L. Stinson was ill and could not manage his own affairs. Instead, his father names two trusty friends to handle David's affairs. Note that David L. died later that year.
After David's death, the plantation was to be divided equally among the sons of David L.: John B., William A., and David W. Stinson, on condition that they support their (grand?) mother as long as she remains my widow and their sisters til they severally reach 17.
I believe the statement listed above is an error in transcription and that in reality John Stinson meant that the sons of David L. should support their mother as long as she remained a widow and their sisters until each reached the age of 17.
Note that John Stinson's wife had died in 1833 and was not mentioned in the will. From cemetery records we know that Hannah, wife of David L., lived until 1849.
I will to my trusty friends William Jamison and Thomas J. Johnston, during the life of my son David L. Stinson, the whole of the plantation whereon I now live, as well as the negroes Isaac and Delphy, in trust for the support of my son David, his wf, and children, and at his death sd plantation is to be equally divided among my grandsons John B., William A., and David W. Stinson....
Tombstone reads: In memory of David L. Stinson who died November 21, 1837, age 45 years.

Will to my dau Jane Biggert and to James Biggert, my son-in-law, the negroes Charlotte, Dolly and Polly, and the Rice (Price) plantation of some 130 A during the lifetime of my daughter Jane, and at whose death the negroes Charlotte and Polly and their offspring are to be equally divided among Jane's daughters by David Rea, and the plantation, at Jane's death, is to be divided among her sons by David Rea.
Grantor: John M. Rea; Grantee, Jonathan Rea. Description: 133 3/4 acres on Armour's Creek. Price tract willed to four sons of David Rea, deceased, (viz) David L. Rea, James F. Rea, John M. Rea, Jonathan Rea, by their late grandfather, John Stinson. This land was to be used by their mother, Jane Biggert, during her lifetime. It is assumed that Jane was dead by this date, thus the land reverted to her sons by David Rea. John M. Rea then sold his portion of the plantation to his brother, Jonathan, for $200.
Rea, Jane and James Biggart, 8 June 1836, Mecklenburg Co., NC.

Remainder of my estate to be equally divided betwixt my brother Michael's son, Michael, and his sister Ann Stinson....
Early research by Shirley Underwood; old copy is not easy to read. Deed was between Michael Stinson, hatter, and James Conner. Original patent was to Thomas Beatie in 1757, property along Cataba River. Other names mentioned were Robert & William Latta, Robert McCasland (?) and it was noted that the name Stinson was previously "Stephenson". Need to locate a better copy of this deed.
