Peter BIRD NC to GA
Going over Halifax Co., NC deeds and Halifax Co., NC wills I found that Peter BIRD Jr.'s wife Penelope maiden name could be WEST.
Halifax Co., NC DB "18" p.863 Feb Ct. 1802
Peter BIRD, Warren WEST, John LEE in behalf of his wife Sarah LEE formerly Sarah WEST & George WEST in be his daughter Milly WEST all of Hancock Co. GA grant power of attorny to John SIMMONS of Halifax Adm. of John MOTLEY dec'd of Halifax Co., NC.
Halifax Co., NC WB "3" p. 245
Robert MOTLEY 20 March 1795-May Ct 1795
Lend to my mother Mrs. WEST a negro for life. Residue to estate to go to brothers Henry MOTLEY, John MOTLEY, Thomas MOTLEY and ---- WEST.
John MOTLEY who was deceased was called brother in Robert
MOTLEY will in 1795. Robert MOTLEY in his will names his mother as Mrs. WEST and has a brother who was a WEST.
Please note that none of Peter BIRD's sisters or brother
Allen BIRD was called heir of John MOTLEY. Leaving the possiblity that his wife was the heir of John MOTLEY.
Any other ideas out there?
