Many children attached to John Harrell, ll, of Nansemond County
that are not named in his will:
John Harrell Jr./Sr. was one of the first Harrells to settle in Bertie County just above the Roanoke, and he probably was a brother to one of the Samuels, Thomas, and Joseph Harrell discussed in the three previous sections—and, of course, he was the son of John of Nansemond.
John’s will was probated in the April Court, 1759.[32] He divided his real estate as follows:
To his wife, Grace, during her life time or widowhood, the use of the Plantation on which he then lived. Following her death or remarriage, the land was to be divided among these heirs;
To son Jesse, the Plantation on which John Sr. was then living.
To son David, 160 acres on which David was already living, and which was part of a Tract that John Sr. had purchased from Thomas Barker.
To son Josiah, 160 acres on which Josiah was then living, and which was also part of the Tract bought from Mr. Barker.
To son Ezekiel, 160 acres on which he was then living, and which was again part of the land bought from Thomas Barker.
To grandson Esias, the son of Esias, goes the Plantation on which his mother and step-father are now living, which was part of the Tract bought from Mr. Barker.
