You need to see this will in
Southampton Co VA will book 17 p. 378 & 379; will date 13 July 1859; will proved 19 Aug 1861
It is for Sarah M. A. Ramsey, daughter of Jacob Ramsey and Lucy Claud.
Now from what I can tell in recent records found -
Lucy Claud
m. 1st Richard Harrison before Sept 1808; Richard died in late 1809
m. 2nd John P. Westbrook May 20, 1811 [not sure of his parents yet] however, think I know.
m. 3rd Jacob Ramsey May 15, 1815 [Jacob Ramsey out lived Lucy] [don't have DOD for Lucy yet]
I will send you Jacob' will later.
From this will we see that Jacob and Lucy Ramsey's daughter calls your John P Westbrook her brother She is leaving land to John P Westbrook's widow Mary J Westbrook This would mean that Lucy Harrison who m. John P. Westbrook is most likely the mother of your John P Westbrook
What do you think? Do you recognize any names in this will? You might want to look for these records in Sussex Co or Southampton Co on land
I am going to look to see when the land was sold that Sarah Ramsey mentions in this will.
Also found a deed were Augustus T. Westbrook and his wife Emily Same as your John P Westbrook and wife Mary J. Augustus T Westbrook should be brother to your John P Westbrook, however, He is not mentioned in this will as a brother
Still working on this.
