"And so it was that the Children of Samuel Hargrave began t
o drift away from The Society of Friends, the religion tha
t their fathers and grandfathers had so faithfully served d
uring their lives.
There is a whole article on Samuel Hargrove of Carolina Cou
nty Virginia by Mrs. Patsy Clark, Fort Worth, Texas, also i
n this same newsletter of July 1983."
Samuel Hargrave was the fourth generation from Richard Harg
raves who sailed from London, England on Jan 2 1634 in th
e ship Bonaventure.
(Research):Please note that the estate inventory of Samue
l Cornwell includes all the daughters with the maiden nam
e of Cornwell. This would be correct because daughter Eliza
beth was still a teenager of about 13 or 14 years of age an
d not married yet. The estate record of Arthur Allen list
s Samuel Hargrave and Susanna Hargrave seperately and altho
ugh it can be presumed that they are married, we can't real
ly be certain. Since this estate record occurs in 1728, th
e Samuel mentioned is probably Samuel 1697-1740, son of Bra
y Hargrave and Mary Hodge.
The Surry County, Virginia records contain the following la
nd deed record: "1727, Lawnes Creek Parish. Lemuel Hargrav
e and wife Elizabeth Cornwell paid 1,000 pounds of tobacc
o for 150 acres from Ed. and William Tanner. (the land wa
s occupied by Jacob Cornwell, who had a 99 year lease on it
)Witness: James Vaughn, John Bruce, William Sewards."
And the following: Wills and Administrations of Surry Count
y, Virginia: 14 March 1718. Samuel Hargrave listed as broth
er in law of Samuel Cornwell. Probate 20 August 1718. Witne
ss: John Hancocke, John Bruce, Nathan Marlow.
