11 September 1721, Adam Ivey (still of Prince George County) sold 50 acres in Prince George County to Peter Poythress. Two years later, on 16 December 1723, Adam Ivey (now of Isle of Wight) sold the adjoining 130 acres to Edward Prince, thus disposing of his land in Prince George County.[18] The latter deed was witnessed by Gilbert Hay, presumably his brother-in-law, Susan Ivey (c1670? - ?) She was called “Susan Hays” in Elizabeth Ivey’s will. She may have been the wife of neighbor Gilbert Hay, who deposed in 1719 that he was aged 63 “or thereabouts”.[150] While this seems a bit old, men at this time were typically about ten years older than their wives, which would suggest Susan’s birth in the late 1660s, making her one of the eldest children. That seems to fit the estimated birth dates of Gilbert Hay’s known children, generally thought to be 1690 or later. Gilbert Hay is the only Hay on the 1704 quit rent roll of Prince George County, and appears a few times in records with Iveys. Note that a Gilbert and Sarah Hay witnessed one of George Ivey’s sales in 1720 and a Gilbert Hay owned land adjoining that which Adam Ivey sold in 1723. Both Gilbert and two “Susanna” Hays (Sr. and Jr.) witnessed the will of Mary Wilkins in early 1709.[151] This is apparently the father of the Gilbert Hay who died in 1758 in Surry County as a widower with several grown children.[152] http://home.nc.rr.com/rwbaird/ivey/AdamIvey.htm |
