Henry County Wills 

 

 

Henry County Wills � Book I

Contributed By: Virginia Tolman

  

NOTE:  Because a lot of men and women died without wills, the court would order an inventory and/or an appraisement of their estates.  I have put in the date when it was first entered into the Court Records, sometimes the document was dated and I also put that date in.  That doesn�t mean that he died on or near that date, but it means the inventory or appraisement was either ordered or entered and approved in the court records, it also means he was deceased by that date, which could mean a few days, weeks, months or even up to a year or so.  Take for example Isaiah Rich whose will was probated April Court 1800 yet the appraisement wasn�t entered until almost 2 years later, January Court 1802  .

NOTE:  I have added notes with information from other sources to help clarify and identify families.  VKT

Page 169  Will of Lawrence McGuire

            My sons Luke and Aaron

            My daughters Abigal and Minerva

Witnessess: Jno. Ransdall and William Wiley

Written: 3 April 1804

Probated April Court 1808

Proven by oath of John Ransdall and Caroy Wiley as William Wiley had died prior to the will being proven.  She was present when William signed as witness.

NOTE: Aaron McGuire married 4 Apr 1821 Nancy Skidmore and he died before Jan 1835

Minerva at age 22 married 03-27-1822 John Wiley

Abigal over age 21 married 04-05-1818 Charles Gough

Luke married 08-21-1821 Mary Morgeson

Lawrence McGuire was the son of Lawrence McGuire Sr.  of Shelby Co., Kentucky.

NOTE** Corrections From William McGuire

Proven by oath of John Ransdall and Caroy (correct spelling "Cyrus") Wiley as William Wiley had died prior to the will being proven. The change to the name of the person (Cyrus Wiley) isn't a change to the written will, it's a change to the interpretation someone made, Cyrus Wiley was a well known person in Henry County and was  intertwined with the McGuire family, his sister Roseanne Wiley was Lawrence McGuire's wife, married December 31, 1792 in Lincoln County.

Lawrence McGuire was the son of Lawrence McGuire Sr.  of Shelby Co., Kentucky. (Lawrence was born 1726-1736 in Ireland, his parents are unknown at present) The reason for the uncertainty about Lawrence McGuire is recent information from original documents, "A deposition made by Lawrence McGuire in the Wilson vs. Dixon lawsuit in Bedford County, VA lists his age as 35 years old (b. 1736?), and the recent finding in the Pennsylvania Historical Society  Archives of the original August 1763 muster roll of Capt. Nicholas Wetterholt of Northampton County lists Sgt. Lawrence McGuire as 37 years old (b. 1726) and born in Ireland, so you see there is about ten years difference between the two Lawrence McGuires which if true casts doubt about them being father and son although assuredly were closely related, I continue with the belief this Lawrence McGuire was the one born 1736 and migrated to Kentucky in 1789. I do have photocopies of the documents mentioned, and I continue research on this.
