    • All I Know is that Hawknest was where William Henry Figg and Susanna E.E. Harrison Figg, my great great grandparents lived and are buried. Cousin Carol Figg Hopkins showed me the site and the cemetery when we went looking for Maycox and Eel Bank.. She's cc'd on this. "Edwin Hopkins"

    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
      No witnesses.

      At court 14 Dec. 1824, William Baird and Carter
      Coupland made oath they believed the will to be
      wholly written by the testator. Probate granted.
