Note 15. VIRGINIA WILLS PRIOR TO 1799

Mills, William Amherst Co, VA F 8/4/1766; W, Mary; S, William, Jesse; D, Anna, Milley, Sarah Watts; S, Thomas' children, Ambrose Mills and Elizabeth Mills

There is a long established rumor that Sarah Lavender, the daughter now attributed to Charles Lavender, was instead the daughter of William Lavender [son of Charles] and his wife, Mildred Mills. William Mills, father of Mildred Mills, wrote his Will on 26 Sept. 1755 and it was admitted for probate in Amherst Co., VA on 4 Aug 1766. It mentions his wife, Mary, sons Ambrose, William and Jesse, and daughters Sarah Watts, Elizabeth Learwoods, Anna Mills and Milley Mills. This Will, by not mentioning a married name for Mildred, strongly suggests that Milley [Mildred] had not married on 26 Sept. 1755 when this will was written. This dispells the belief since 1977 that Sarah Lavender who married James Edmunds was the daughter of William Lavender and Mildred Mills. Mildred could not have been married until 1755 at the earliest (after the Will was written). James Edmunds' and Sarah Lavender's eldest child was Mary, born 11/2/1761. If Mildred Mills was Sarah Lavender's mother, Sarah could have been no older than age 6 when Mary Lavender was born on 11/2/1761. This is impossible. This means that Sarah Lavender was probably a sister to William Lavender.

Charles Lavender, Sr. received a Land Patent of 200 acres on the Tye River in Albemarle Co., VA on 12 January 1746. There is an Amherst Co., VA Court Order Book reference for a Court held in November, 1785 of a Motion being brought by William Lavender, heir of William Lavender, deceased [son of this William Charles Lavender II] which mentions this patented land on the Tye River and appoints William Meredith, William Spencer, Stephen Watts and Joseph Dillard to divide this land between Mildred Mills [deceased William Charles Lavender II's widow], Elizabeth __?__ [deceased William Charles Lavender II's mother] and the children of William [Charles Lavender II], deceased.

Mildred (Mills) Lavender lost her husband William Lavender II about the time Milley Lavender was born in 1784. William Walton II and Elizabeth (Tilghman) Walton had 14 children before she died on 08 Sep 1787. As single parents of young children, William Walton II and Mildred (Mills) Lavender were joined in marriage in 1792.
