Biography

Various published genealogies add two more sons, John and William, though the former appears to be unrelated and the latter is fictitious

  • John's father George Ivey*

George Ivey’s[1] own will was dated 5 March 1685/6 and proved 17 January 1688/9.[2] It left his home plantation to his “beloved wife and executrix…Hannah Ivy…and after her deceis to my eldest son Alexander Ivey.” It provided for reversion if Alexander died “before he come of age without issue to the next brother to succeed and so… to the fourth brother or more if there shall be any.” Additional legacies were left to sons George, Samuel, Thomas, John, and Joseph, all of whom were under sixteen. Several daughters are implied, but only Elizabeth Ivy and “youngest daughter Hannah Ivy” are named. “Near neighbors” William and Thomas Langley were witnesses and overseers. The widow Hannah remarried to David Murray [or Murrah] before 16 February 1690/1 when he sued for a debt to George Ivey’s estate as the new husband of the widow.[3] Hannah herself died within the next few months, for on 15 July 1691 Alexander and George Ivey demanded that David Murray, who married their mother “now deceased“, deliver to them the personal of their father.[4] She may have died a few months earlier, because on 16 June 1691 George Ivey’s minor children were assigned guardians and ordered to live with various people until they reached the age of sixteen: the minor children mentioned in these records were John, Joseph, Hannah, Elizabeth, and Ann. Both Alexander and George were over 21 at the time, since they were among the appointed guardians. Samuel and Thomas are not mentioned, implying either that they were 14 and could choose their own guardians, or that they were dead.

Note

Note: John's will was dated May 24, 1693 and probated on July 17, 1693. It mentions his children: John, Mary, Thomas, Elizabeth and his wife Mary.
