Will for John Maroon, 1812 NC
The following will is from Will Book A, page 267 of Rutherford county, North Carolina. I found it in RUTHERFORD COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA WILLS AND MISCELLANEUS RECORDS, 1783-1868, by James and Vivian Wooley on page 43.
==================================
Page 267.
1 Nov. 1811. Proved Oct. term 1812.
I, John Marrune, being weak in body but of sound memory. I give unto my wife Frankey Marrune the plantation whereon I now live, containing 200 acres during her life time and to be divided among three sons, John Marrune, Peter Marrune, and Samuel Marrune. I give my moveable property as follows. My household furniture, stock, and horses to be equally divided among my chn. Charlett Marrune, Elizabeth Marrune, Sarah Marrune, Susanna Marrune, and Jane Marrune, I give unto my dtr. Susanna one bed and furniture and one cow as part of her share. I leave to my wife to divide the said property among the named chn. I appoint my wife executrix and Gavin Marrune as executor. Wit: W. Roberts, (jurat) John Squire.
Signed: John (X) Marrune
=================================
Notes:
Gavin above must be his second brother, the other being Jacob. Samuel above is my direct ancestor. The three sons were listed as selling property in Rutherford county in 1832, so we know that Frankey was gone by then. Could that be when she died? Samuel was already living in Tennessee by then, and I believe John jr. was as well. Where was Peter? I don't yet know. Samuel was only 4 or 5 years old when his father died, and John jr. was about 16. The "X" would mean he could not sign his name, and made his mark instead.
We believe John was the son of Peter Maroon, who was in turn the son of Jacob Maroon, listed in the taxables for Granville co., NC, in 1755.
