  Notes for MATHIAS FURBEE:
1805 was the last year Mathias appeared on a tax list in Monongalia Co., VA.[73] In 1809 Mathias sold to John Arnett 154 acres on Big Pawpaw Creek, adjoining John Furbay, for $700; signed Mathias (M) Furbey; no wits.[80] On 8 FEB 1809 Mathias Furbee, of Williamson Co., TN, made a deed of trust to John Sample & Co.

David (Danl?) Montgomery, Thos. V. Benton, Wm. Huline.
In 1812 a suit was brought by James Clelland against John Arnett in Monongalia Chancery Court concerning the land that Mathias had received from his father and sold to Arnett.
In 1775 Alexander Smith had acquired a right to 400 acres between Little Pawpaw Creek and Big Pawpaw Creek by building a cabin and living in it. Smith sold the land to Isaac Lemasters, who sold it to his son Joseph. Joseph sold it to James Clelland, who had it surveyed and was issued a patent in 1796.
About 1799 Clelland learned that Charles Harryman had obtained title to part of the land and sold it on 19 JUL 1791 to Caleb Furbee, who had taken possession. Furbee asked Clelland not to bring suit and agreed to buy the land from him for $200. There was no written agreement, and Furbee did not make the payment when due.
On 11 OCT 1802 Furbee gave the land to his son Mathias, who sold it to Arnett. Clellan said Caleb and Mathias then left VA without paying him for the land.

He had also seven sons and three daughters. And he called the name of the first, Jemima; and the name of the second, Kezia; and the name of the third, Keren-happuch. And in all the land were no women found so fair as the daughters of Job: and their father gave them inheritance among their brethren."
