1815/10/13 The Last Will and Testament of Frainey Crouse was drawn October 13, 1815 and was probated October 13, 1815 and in which her heirs were listed as follows: son William Crouse; granddaughter Cathy Crouse daughter of William Crouse; grandson James Cavender; daughter Cathy Crouse who married John March; daughter Mary Crouch who married a Hendrix ("Hendricks"?); daughter Frainey Crouse; and daughter Barbary Crouse. Executors were William Crouse and Haley Tatus ("Haley Tatum"?) and the witnesses were Joshua Hendrix ("Joshua Hendricks"?) and Robert Foster. On May 1, 1837, James Cavendar ("James Cavender") of Davis County, North Carolina either sells to or purchases from William March two tracts of land of 93 acres and 109 acres on Crouses Mill Creek adjacent to William Bailey. The deeds were witnessed by James Smith and William Crouse. 355 1815/11/28 John Cavender made application in Pittsylvania County, Virginia for permission to married Elizabeth Compton. Jeremiah Compton, who was probably the father of Elizabeth Compton, gave his consent to the marriage and John Cavender and Edmond Chumbley posted the required bond of $150. It is of interest to note that Edmond Chumbley was the person who had previously married Mary Compton the daughter of Archibald Compton who had previously married Hugh Cavender’s daughter, Sarah Cavender (“Sally Cavender”), and that Pittsylvania County, Virginia is located near Charlotte County, Virginia where Hugh Cavender died in 1789 leaving a minor son named John Cavender who was born about 1776. Thus, Archibald Compton was probably the the brother of Jeremiah Compton who had previously married the apparent twin sister of Sarah Cavender named Elizabeth Cavender, and John Cavender may have been the son of Hugh Cavender. The consent of Jeremiah Compton was witnessed by Edmond Chumbley (“Edmund Chumbley”) and John Faris (“John Feris” & “John Furis”). The actual documents read as follows: “KNOW all men by these presents, That we John Cavender and Edmond Chumbley are held and firmly bound unto his Excellency Wilson C. Nicholas Governor of the Commonwealth of Virginia and to his successors in office for the use of the Commonwealth in the just and full sum of one hundred and Fifty dollars - to which payment, well and truly to be made, we bind ourselved and each of us, our herirs executors and administrators firmly by these presents - sealed with our seals and dated this 28th day of November 1815. The Condition of the above obligation is such, That whereas, the bound John Cavender hath this day obtained a license for his intermarriage with Elizabeth Compton of the said County, Now, if there is lawful cause to obstruct the said marriage, then this obligation is void, else remain in force and virtue.” Signed by John Cavender and Edmond Chumbley by their marks. A further document read as follows: “This is to certify that the Clerk of Pittsylvania is at liberty to isue (sic) Sicence (sic) for John Cavender to marry my daughter Elizabeth given under my hand this 27th of November 1815.” Signed by Jeremiah Compton by his mark, and, witnessed by John Faris by his signature and by Edmond Chumbley by his mark. It is significant to note that in March 1815, John Cavender brought suit against John Faris in the county court of Pittslvania County, Virginia. Plaintiff by his attorney asked for dismissal. Later, on March 22, 1822, the suit by John Cavender against John Faris was continued, a jury was sworn, and a verdict was rendered for John Cavender for $40 for damages. A motion was made by the attorney for John Faris to order the verdict set aside, that the defendant pay for the trial, and requested a new trial at the next court. Following two continuances, the suit abates because of the death of John Faris. If John Cavender was the son of Hugh Cavender and was born about 1776, then in 1815 he would have been about 39 years of age when he married Elizabeth Compton who must have been about 16-17 years of age and required the consent of her father in order to be married. 1815 (1) James Carventer ("James Cavender") married Elizabeth Pruitt in Iredell County, North Carolina in 1815.
