Research Notes

The biography above is based on Robert Priddy's will and information from Find a Grave.

The N. Carolina will abstract below, probated 1759 in North Carolina, gives the following legatees: Record details

• Susanna,
• Patience,
• Robert,
• George,
• William,
• Thomas (children);
• Ann Chaven (daughter).

The Virginia Land Patent cited below probably references an earlier Robert Priddy, perhaps a grandfather, since it refers to land owned by Joseph Crowshaw, who was a settler at Jamestown and is dated 1655, before the birth of this Robert Priddy. That land citation reads: ROBERT PRIDDY, 400 acs. New Kent Co., on S.W. side of York River, 28 June 1655, p. 343. Bounded by land of John Butler, Mr. Anthony Langstone & Mr. Joseph Crowshaw.
