Tidbits

Elizabeth Deusey, the wife of George Deucey, was the widow of John Warrington 1730-1790. Elizabeth apparently outlived her second husband George Deucey as well, because in 1811 she sold slaves left to her in 1790 by her first husband John Warrington, and there was no indication that George Deucey was a party to this latter sale. Elizabeth was the former Elizabeth Burton, the daughter of a William Burton of Accomack County, Virginia. She married John Warrington on May 6, 1778. William Gilbert was surety.

The Thomas Warrington, in this deed, was the son of John Warrington and Elizabeth Burton. Thomas inherited his father John Warrington's plantation in 1790, subject to the dower of his mother Elizabeth. It is believed that Thomas B. Warrington died shortly after this deed was processed, he died in 1806. Thomas B. Warrington apparently did not marry and died childless.

Know all men by these presents that we William Warrington, James Melvin & Jesse Duncan are held and firmly bound unto John Page, governor of this Commonwealth & his successors in the just and full sum of Five Hundred dollars to which payment well & truly to be made we being ourselves, our heirs, executors & administrators jointly & severally firm by these presents sealed with our seals & dated the 25th day of June 1805.
