Jeremiah Spurling was a worker of fine leather and a tobacco plantation operator in eastern Westmoreland Co. Virginia.
Jeremiah was born about 1666, presumably in Westmoreland Co. and, perhaps, a son of Richard Spurling, who emigrated from England in 1659 as an indentured servant of James McGregor & Hugh Foutch.[citation needed] Jeremiah Spurling's life and family are chronicled in a set of wills, sixty years later, as well as by his witnessing a couple of land transactions in Cople Parish during his lifetime. Spurling was married around the turn of the century to Mary Chandler, daughter of Thomas Chandler. They had three children, Jeremiah, Sarah, and Thomas. The latter was named for his grandfather Chandler, who also was his godfather. Jeremiah Spurling was a "cordwainer," or shoemaker, working with soft, fine-grained, colored leather, originally manufactured in Cordova, Spain, whence it got its name, cordovan leather. He was also a tobacco planter. Spurling's family lived in Cople Parish, coincidentally, created just two years before his own birth. Cople Parish was established in 1664 along the eastern part of Westmoreland County and embraced the old colonial village, Sandy Point, on the Potomac, which was mentioned in bounds of the landgrant to McGregor & Foutch for bringing Richard Spurling to this country; Then, of course, it was in Northumberland County, forerunner of Westmoreland. Cople was bounded on the west by Washington Parish. Jeremiah Spurling witnessed a sale of land by Griffin Humphries to Christopher Marmaduke on Ocober 15, 1704 (Westmoreland Deed & Wills 4; 152-153). On January 12, 1707 (Westmoreland Deed & Wills 4;64-71). Spurling also witnessed a sale of 620 acres, near Pope's Creek, by John and Mary Spencer to John Bushrod by lease and release for one hundred pounds sterling and eleven hundred pounds of tobacco. All of the principals involved in these two transactions were neighbors of Spurling in Cople Parish. Mary (Chandler) Spurling died as a young woman, sometime between her youngest son's birth and 1723, when her widowed husband remarried. Jeremiah Spurling's second wife was Mary Barnwell, widow of Robert Barnwell, and mother of a son, John, who was about twenty-one years old at the time. (The surname of the above widow appears in abstracts as "Barnnuell." However, such a surname is not found in Virginia records of that time, and it has been interpreted to be "Barnwell."--REP) Jeremiah Spurling died on or about February 21st in late winter of 1726, and his last will & testament was filed for probate on the following March 30th (Westmoreland Deed & Wills 8:55/161). While quite ill, he had dietated his bequests to William Bills on the previous February 13th and, within ten days at most, he was dead. It is calculated that Spurling was about sixty years old at the time of his death. According to his wishes, he was "to be interred by my; first wife, Mary." Surviving him were his second wife, Mary (Barnwell), his three children, Jeremiah, Sarah and Thomas Spurling, and his stepson, John Barnwell, who was senior in age to all of his own youngsters. Widow Spurling was designated as executrix for her late husband's estate,m which subsequently was appraised by Johyn Footman, Corderoy Vaughn, witness to Jeremiah's will, and John Arris at a value of fifty-five pounds, fourteen shillings (Westmoreland Fiduciary Accounts 1;26). The Widow was bequeathed her bed and furniture, including linen and wool spinning wheels, pewter and iron kitchen and dining ware, and livestock, includiong a three year old heifer, "all which things did belong to the said estate of (her previous late husband) Robert Bannuel." "My eldest son, Jeremiah Spurling," and stepson, John Barnwell, were to divide by one-half each "my working tools;" These may have been Spurling's cordwainer gear since provision was made for equal division of proceeds of tobacco sales and "all my axes & hoes & wedges...for use of this plantation...between both families." Besides shares of household furnishings and livestock, Jeremiah Spurling was bequeathed his father's "hatt & wearing cloths," while young Barnwell, for some unexplained reason, was the recipient of Spurling's "great Bible." The last recorded incident concerning Jeremiah Spurling's estate case was on July 27,1726 (Westmoreland Court Order 1721-31:125, when the court directed Widow Mary Spurling to appear at the next session to answer a petition preferred against her by Jeremiah Spurling Jr. No subsequent judgment is in evidence, and it may be presumed any dispute had been settled out of court.
