"After Hezekiah’s death, the land was sold through Probate Court to divide the estate among his two sons, Fletcher and Kennedy." Also has image of tombstone for wife of John B. (looks like) Harrington - top cut off, but apparently dau. of Wm. & Martha Byrd... Frances, I think (but caption text says broken off part says "M.E., daughter of"). Born 17 Jan. 1819/died 2 Sep. 1839, 20 yrs, 7 mos, 15 ds. Oldest tombstone in Georgeville Cemetery. Text ... following supposition that Hezekiah donated the land for the cemetery ... about "M.E.", first known burial in the cemetery: "Dr. John B. Harrington, apparently a relative of the land owner, Hezekiah Harrington." Link from the text is to https://www.msholmes.org/memorial/6491 - calls her Margaret E. Byrd Harrington. (The Dr. John B. is probably Hezekiah's son, named in his will.) Ki Harrington is son of Kennedy Harrington (Kennedy is also probably Hezekiah's son, named in his will). Could the Edward H. Harrington (born 1836) be another of Hezekiah's sons, named in his will? See https://www.msholmes.org/memorial/06486/edward-h-harrington (05 Oct 1836-23 Jul 1855).

At her marriage (after the death of her father) she was to receive gifts similar to those of her older married sisters: a horse (worth $90 because her father had used a colt left to her by her Aunt Martin), saddle and bridle, cow and calf, a feather bedstead and furniture and other furniture.

Profile attached as wife of James Petty - Martha (Clanton) Petty (abt.1724-1807) - has this text:

"The identity of "Martha Clanton" as a wife of James Petty has always been speculative and is likely just a confusion for Mary Clanton, wife of his son Absalom and daughter of Charles Clanton. To suggest Absalom married his aunt (as you are here) is beyond absurd. Therefore, I am removing her parents from this family."
