- [S1730] Featherstone Society Member Elaine Boston, E. Elaine Boston, (2014), Nancy Ann Tarpley and Hezekiah Featherston The third bond has caused much trouble and confusion. Printed in Knorr,p. 27, one finds: 26 August 1794. Hezekiah Featherston and Nancy Tarpley, dau. John Tarple. Sur. Charles Featherston. Married 28 August by Rev. Edward Almond. p. 212 There is considerable amount of material in the Charlotte County records that shows that the Nancy Tarpley who married Hezekiah Featherston, was the daughter of James Tarpley. In the Court Order Books of August 1796 are two suits in which Hezekiah Featherston and Nancy his wife sued the executors of James Tarpley, deceased, and the heirs of James Tarpley. In one the Featherstons were joined by John Eudaly and Mary his wife. Maryis known to have been a daughter of James Tarpley. There is a smiliar suit in May 1798. When James Tarpley made his will he named only his sons and his married daughters but his son William Tarpley made his will and named all his siblings, including a Nancy Tarpley. Finally, an indenture, dated 1806, between Joseph Friend and the legatees of the estate of James Tarpley, deceased, includes among the legatees 'the heirs of Betsy Miller and Nancy Featherston, who are deceased.' Why then did the marriage bond typescript say that Nancy Tarpley was the daughter of John? Examination of the original bond shows a small enclosed scrap of paper which says: 'Ann Tarpley was born 2 day of July 1769'. [Signed]John Tarpley. August 26 Witnessed Carloss (X) Featherston 94 Agnes (X) Tarpley There is nowhere any statement that John Tarpley is Ann/Nancy Tarpley's father. The relationship was inferred from John Tarpley's sending a statement to show that Nancy was of age to give her own consent. Nancy Tarpley's father, James Tarpley, was dead. John Tarpley was her uncle. source: The Virginia Genealogist Vol. 23, No. 1 - Jan/Mar 1979.
