Court action Stephen Wood and Ann Wood Vs. Estate of Joseph Johnson of Lunenburg Co., Virginia Court, Sept 1761? Ann Johnson, daughter of Joseph Johnson ...dispute between Joseph and his son in law Stephen Wood and also with another of his sons-in-laws, Jarrell Willingham m 1855 Mary Johnson... see Lunenburg co. Court order book No.7 pages 117-119 for suit brought by Jarrel and Mary (Johnson) Willingham against Joseph Johnson, father of Mary on 3 Mar 1761 when Joseph Johnson's will was presented in court for probate, Stephen Wood, Jarrell Willingham and Joseph Williams were listed as the executor's sureties (Lunenburg Co. will book 2, p. 28. The above court action proves that Mary Johnson, daughter of Joseph Johnson with the 1761 will in Lunenburg Co., Virginia, is the wife of Jarrell Willingham. Jarrell Willingham B. 1 Aug 1734 is shown in the Bristol Parish, Prince George Co. Birth Records as the son of John Willingham (1751 will in Lunenburg Co., Virginia) and Mary. Dr. Katherine Woerner believes that it is possible that John could have also been married to a Mary Johnson, perhaps the sister of Joseph Johnson, son of Stephen Johnson, whose (Joseph) daughter, Mary, married Jarrell Willingham. So Mary Pate being his wife is not written in stone. It is also a possibly that he may have been married two times maybe first wife was Mary Johnson and second wife Mary Pate. 05-13-2000.This entry by Katrina M.

The rest of you may have already figured this out, but it just occurred to me that the Polly mentioned in the law suit must have been the Mary "Polly" who married James Harding Morefield in 1816. James & Polly's oldest son was named Joshua. Well, duh... James & Polly were in Rowan, NC in 1830, in Clark, IN in 1840 and in St. Clair, IL in 1850.

The above court action proves that Mary Johnson, daughter of Joseph Johnson with the 1761 will in Lunenburg Co., Virginia, is the wife of Jarrell Willingham. Jarrell Willingham B. 1 Aug 1734 is shown in the Bristol Parish, Prince George Co. Birth Records as the son of John Willingham (1751 will in Lunenburg Co., Virginia) and Mary. Dr. Katherine Woerner believes that it is possible that John could have also been married to a Mary Johnson, perhaps the sister of Joseph Johnson, son of Stephen Johnson, whose (Joseph) daughter, Mary, married Jarrell Willingham. So Mary Pate being his wife is not written in stone. It is also a possibly that he may have been married two times maybe first wife was Mary Johnson and second wife Mary Pate. 05-13-2000.
