Same source:  August 31, 1784.  Daniel Aires of said District hath a
claim to this estate and suspects that Charles Spradlin, Jr. is about to
convey away the whole estate..... sd. Charles to appear; in court August
....  31 Aug. 1784 Dedimus to Charles Pickett, JP to examine Wm Strawd
and Hamton Stroud, 30 Dec. 1783.  Warrent to Henry Wimpey, Constable, for
appearance of William Strowd as he has refused to attend to the will, 3
Jan 1784 to William Simmons, James Lahan, Nimrod Mitchell, John Wilson &
Jesse Wilson.  Inventory 6 Apr. 1784 by John Wilson, Jas Laugham, Nimrod
Mitchell.  We can conclude that he died shortly before April 1784.
JLB Note:  While the spelling is not explicitly Spradley, we do know
that there was a Charles Spradley in Kershaw and that he bought items at
the sale of Dillard Spradley's estate plus the mention in the will of
George Brown.  See below.

1781-1787" by Holcomb & Parker, page 8.  George Brown, Apt. 11, Pak 334.
Will of George Brown of Craven County to wife, Sarah, personal estate
.... four children: Rueben, my first born; Susannah Mills and Anes
Spradley, & Sarah Brown being all that are now living ..... to Anes
Spradley daughter Polly Spradley 100 acres; to son Rueben already given
by deed of gift.  Isreal Mathis & Francis Boykin, Executors.  Dated Feb
14, 1786.  George Brown, seal.  Test: Edward Pigg, Proved by Edward Pigg,
June 3, 1786 before J. Alexander, J.P.
*JLB Note:  By this we could conclude that Anes Spradley was a
daughter of George Brown and she had a daughter named Mary since "Polly"
is the nickname for Mary. Also that it may be she had a son named David.
