Biography

William Hansborough. Given Name: William. Surname: Hansborough. ^[1]

Born 2 Sep 1779. ^[2]

Died 15 Dec 1837. ^[3]

Census: US Federal. 1820 Note: William Hansbrough is probably the single Free White Male - 26 thru 44. His age would have been about 41 in 1820. The fact that there are no white females or children in the household fits with what is known about him. It is difficult to pin down whether Betty Packer and her children were enumerated correctly, but it is assumed that they are present. «tab»«tab»Age in 1820. William«tab» 1779«tab»41.

Notes

Note NI10278248. WILLIAM HANSBROUGH: (223 Peter) Born September 2, 1779; died unmarried on December 15, 1837.

On October 27, 1808, and October 17, 1810, he and George Tebbs were in charge of the Stevensburg Races. In 1812, George Tebbs advertised that he had given Mr. Hansbrough an interest in his school; that he would attend generally with him; that he had been with him for the past 12 years; that he was a young man of exemplary character, habits, and deportment; that he highly recommended him; that "in accomplishment of dancing he was excelled but by few.".

From his will executed May 13, 1836, it appears that William must have quarreled with his family, for the 14th Item of that instrument provides:

"It is my will and desire that not one of my brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts, nephews, nieces, or any relations, shall under any circumstances whatever possess and enjoy or inherit any part of my estate. . .".

At the time of his death, he was a very wealthy man. He directed the freeing of his slaves under the law of Virginia, and directed his executors to purchase tracts of land in Ohio or any state "where they May choose to go in the United States" for certain named slaves. He also gave fairly large sums of money to several of his slaves, and directed that the balance of his estate be equally dived among the children of Betty Packer, who seems to have been his favorite slave. 1
