Subject: Spry and HEndricks families 1700 - 1750's From: Deborah Byrd Date: May 02, 2000 I am still looking for early Dunham family connections so am taking a new tact. In 1699 Purchase Spry widow of Henry Spry was executor of his estate. Purchase Spry married a Hendircks, I believe it to be Tiimothy. She died around 1737 and left a will, which is now lost, naming in the will the Wiltown Presybeterian Church. Timothy Hendricks also names the church in his now lost will. William Hendricks is listed as heir at law for Timothy Hendricks. In 1746 William transfered to the Wiltown Church slaves that Timothy Hendricks left to the church. May I assume that William is Timothy's son? Purchase () Spry Hendricks was the mother of Royall Spry who died around 1760 and the mother of Purchase Berry the wife of James Berry. Was she the mother of William Hendricks? The next Hendricks name that shows up in the records of Willtown is Daniel Hendircks. Was Daniel another son of Purchase and Timothy? In a deed dated 1755 James Hendrick is selling land left him by is uncle Royal Spry. This land was once the property of Daniel Hendricks the father of James. In 1749 Joseph Spry and his sister Martha Reilly are suing James Hendricks and William Donnom and Wife Mary as representatives of Daniel Hendricks. The Sprys are also suing Thomas Sacherville the executor of Royall Spry's will. Is Mary wife of William Donnom the daughter of Daniel Hendricks? Are Joseph and Martha children or grandchildren of Royal Spry? Thanks for any help. Deborah Byrd Go To: #, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z, Main |
