    Notes 
    • Father's Will: All the rest and Residue of My personal Estate, goods and chattels whatsoever, I do give and bequeath to my Loving son James Jones, full and sole Executor of this my last Will and testament

      Fathers Will: Note change:

      I died before 12 May 1719 when Sarah stated she had been justly dealt with and requested my will be probated. Not 2 months later, the court argued that the phrase Hay used, "All the rest and Residue of My personal Estate, goods and chattels whatsoever, I do give and bequeath to my Loving son James Jones, full and sole Executor…," excluded my slaves because they were then real estate.
      Hay, who knew my intentions, convinced the court to give the rest of the slaves to James anyway. My family includes several congressmen and 4 North Carolina governors.
      James and his son of the same name owned Indian slaves. In Aug. 1693 the court Judged Sue, an Indian Girl of James Jones, to be 7, and Sarah, an Indian girl of James Jones Jr. to be 4. The county rewarded him 400 pounds of tobacco for killing two wolves in 1664.
