31. JONATHAN⁷ FURBEE (CALEB⁶, BOWERS⁵, BENJIMAN⁴, BENJAMIN FURBEE³ [FURBY], BENJAMIN FURBEE², FELIX¹ FURBEE) was born Bet. 1754 and 1775 in Murderkill Hundred, Kent Co., DE, and died Unknown in Kent Co., Delaware.

She was born Abt. 1800 in Pennsylvania, and died Unknown.

Notes for JONATHAN FURBEE:
On 21 OCT 1788 Jonathan bought from Jacob Baker of Philadelphia, PA, and wife Hannah for 450 pounds 9,000 acres by survey of 4 JAN 1785 in Monongalia Co., VA, on Big Sand Run. An Augusta Co., VA, judgment (Furbees vs. Baker, O.S. 116, N.S. 40) of ca. 1803 mentions a deed dated 21 OCT 1788 that conveyed 9,000 acres on Big Sand Run in Monongalia Co., VA, from Jacob Baker and Hannah Baker, his wife, of Philadelphia, to Jonathan Furbee of Kent Co., DE; recorded in Dover, DE, 25 APR 1790.

Lived in Monongalia Co., VA in 1810-1830.

Lived in Greene Co., PA in 1846.

Lived in Marion Co., VA in 1850.

John's first marriage is assumed because he had older children in 1830.

In 1810 he had a boy under 10 and three girls under 10. By process of elimination, he seems to be the John Furbee who married the widow Rebecca Berdine. On 22 OCT 1838 he and his wife Rebecca, of Whiteley Twp., Greene Co., PA, sold to Henry Fox 36 acres near the head of Fox Run, a branch of Shannons River, adjoining George Hains, John Fox, Samuel Lemly, and the buyer Henry Fox. Joseph Fox Sr. had given the land to John and Rebecca to live on rent-free for their natural lives, which suggests she was his daughter.

CALEB⁸ FURBEE III, b. Abt. 1849, Virginia; d. Unknown.

32. GEORGE⁷ FURBEE (CALEB⁶, BOWERS⁵, BENJIMAN⁴, BENJAMIN FURBEE³ [FURBY], BENJAMIN FURBEE², FELIX¹ FURBEE) was born Abt. 1775 in Kent Co., DE, and died May 10, 1849 in Pawpaw Creek, Marion Co., VA. He married (1) ELIZABETH PRICHARD 1796. She was born Abt. 1777, and died Bef. 1804. He married (2) SARAH ELIZABETH PRITCHARD February 02, 1804 in Monongalia Co., VA, daughter of THOMAS PRITCHARD and RACHEL DAVIS. She was born Bet. 1776 and 1777 in Virginia, and died Abt. 1852.

Notes for GEORGE FURBEE:
Lived in Monongalia Co., VA in 1810.

Lived in Marion Co., VA in 1846.

On 8 JUN 1813, Richard Price and wife Eleanor, George Furbay and wife Elizabeth, Davis Meredith and wife Anne, John Parker and wife Mary, all of Monongalia Co., VA, sold to William Pritchard of Allegany Co., MD, for $60, two 50-acre lots west of Ft. Cumberland (i.e., in Allegany Co., MD); Thomas Pritchard Sr. of Allegany Co., deceased, had owned the land; he died intestate with children Eleanor, Elizabeth, Anne, and Mary; signed Richard Price, Eleanor / (her mark) Price, George Furbay, Elih Furbay, Davis Meredith, Anne Meredith, John Parker, Mary Parker; wit. R. Barkshire; deed recorded 18 NOV 1813.

George's will, made 3 APR 1849 and probated during JAN term 1850, gave his wife Elizabeth half the land and the balance of his personal estate; the other half of the land went to his daughter Sarah Beaty and her husband Jeremiah; at Elizabeth's death all the land was to go to Sarah if she paid $50 apiece to Thomas Smith and Richard [sic] Smith and $35 to Margaret Millan; signed George (his mark) Furbee; witnesses were Jonathan Musgrave, Felix C. Michael. This was George's second will, apparently written after a great deal of pressure from Elizabeth to include her children by her previous marriage. George felt he had already taken care of them in other material ways, and the witnesses and several neighbors and relatives were called in to testify about George's state of mind when he made the second will and about the degree of pressure put on him by Elizabeth. One neighbor, Edna Amos, said that just after Jonathan Musgrave had been sent for to write the second will, Elizabeth said, "Justice is going to take place now; I hope it will take place. I always thought a person could not die without justice taking place first." In the end, the second will prevailed.

More About GEORGE FURBEE and ELIZABETH PRICHARD:
Marriage: 1796

Notes for SARAH ELIZABETH PRITCHARD:
Elizabeth was the daughter of Thomas Pritchard Sr. of Allegany Co., MD.

Some researchers have said George's two wives were Elizabeth Pritchard and Elizabeth Smith. An examination of his will and the ensuing controversy makes it clear that these two Elizabeths were the same person. Elizabeth Pritchard, sister of William Pritchard, married first (-?-) Smith and had at least three children: Thomas P. Smith, Pritchard W. Smith, and Margaret Smith, who married Abraham Millan.

Elizabeth apparently died intestate; her administrator was Thomas Prichard, and her estate was settled 3 APR 1854, with the implication that she had died in 1852.
