FIGG William Henry

Notes:

This is where things get confusing, as Maycox was lived in by Carter Bassett Harrison(of Berkeley), younger brother of President William Henry Harrison, but here a Carter Bassett Harrison is shown as the son of William Allen Harrison of Prince George.
I do not know how the son of William Henry Figg and Susanna E.E. Harrison(Figg), William Benjamin Figg and his wife, Evelyn Butts (Figg) ended up at "Maycox" in 1891 for my grandfather to be born there.
'tis a mystery...........

1824, 14 Dec. Probate of will of William Allen Harrison of Prince
George. Will dated at "Maycox" [plantation], May 22
1824. To son. Carter Bassett Harrison, my plantation,

"Maycox", and 25 slaves. To son William Allen
Harrison, my plantation "Blairs", and 25 slaves. To
son John Henry Harrison my plantation, the "Mill
Farm" and mill. To daughter Anna Martha Harrison,
$5000 and 20 slaves. Slaves I got from my wife,
Martha, to be divided between Anna, William and
John. Balance of estate to be divided equally between
the four children. I wish my Uncle, William Allen, to
take charge of my sons as long as he lives, and I
appoint him and my relation, Benjamin Harrison of
Berkeley, my Executors. My daughter I leave to my
friend and her relative, Juliana Coupla[n]d, hoping she
will do a mother's part by her. My executors to be
guardians of children.

Signed W A Harrison

At court 14 Dec. 1824, William Baird and Carter
