As could be said in her own words:
My first husband was Robert Chappell who can tell you about our 6 children. Shortly after he died, I married William Crawley, a very wealthy merchant and Indian trader, of Petersburg. "Billy" as he was known, and his brother David Crawley came to Virginia from Hertfordshire, England.
Once Billy and his friends tapped a cask of West Indies rum. When the taste went bad, they knocked in the head of the cask to find the well pickled body of a frenchman. Rum being the only preservative available, someone had packed him for shipment to France and the barrells got mixed.
Billy and I were the parents of William, Jr., before his death about 1737. Although Billy's will ignored me, I had a right to a life estate in one-third of his property, which the court granted me (Amelia County).
I must say I was a good shot with a gun. Amelia County set aside 700 pounds of tobacco from the levy it set 20 Octg 1738, to pay me the bounty for 5 wolf heads.
The Amelia County tithables of 1744 identified "Mrs. Sarah Crawley's List" that included my son William Crawley and 15 slaves. Few residents then owned more. Next on the roll were sons John Chappell and James Chappell.
William Jr., who was extremely wealthy and married well, shared 100 acres of land with his Crawley half-brothers. Although none of his sons married, the descendants of his daughters were very prominent, including a Congressman.
William's son Benjamin emancipated 50 slaves, including Sukey (Susanna), a mullato woman and their son, Jonathan. Susanna and Jonathan Crawley, as they were later known, went to Howard County, Missouri, where she married my grandson Abner Chappell. ... Pritchett's Virginians
