Item: I give and bequeath unto my wife Nancy one third part of my whole estate for and during the term of my (probably should be "her") natural life, of which then it is my will that the tract of land I now live do constitute a part.
Item: I give and bequeath unto my grandsons JAMES MAXEY and BARNABAS MAXEY the sum of five pounds each to be their full share of my estate.
Item: In consequence of long and faithful service of my negro man George and my negro Betty, it is my desire that they be emancipated, whenever the laws of this

Barnabas (X) Arthur
Accounting of the property given by Barnabas Arthur to sundry of his children over and above what others have received:
John Arthur - One (1) Negro man named Bob - $100.00
Lewis Arthur - One (1) tract of land --------------- $100.00
William Arthur - Land and cash --------------------- $ 80.00
Lucy Greer - Cash --------------------------------------- $ 20.00
Given unto my hand and seal this 2nd day of March 1815; Teste: J. Leftwich, James Floyd, John Clayton.
Signed by: Barnabas Arthur (his mark) He died before 24 Apr 1815 in , Bedford Co., Virginia. His estate was probated on 20 Jul 1815 in , Bedford Co.,
Virginia.2 Court held for probation of Will of Barnabas Arthur convened 24 April 1815, but was continued until the actual day of probation on 20 July 1815.
Inventory and Appraisement of the Estate of Barnabas ARTHUR", Inventory taken 24 August 1815, approved on 27 November 1815. The estate was valued at $5,801.31.
Items included horses, cattle, hogs, sheep, wagon, 122 bushels of wheat, 10 adult slaves, 22 negro boys, 65 barrels of corn, and leaf tobacco. The widow's dower as $1,953.77, Negro George 35 acres of land and nine bushels of corn, and
Barnabas Marcy's legacy left in hands of executor. According to the will of Barnabas, 4th child of John and Rebecca of Goose Creek, his wife was Nancy; from Bedford County Deeds we find a Barnabas with a wife named Elizabeth who was still alive in 1802.
It is believed by some that Barnabas married second to Nancy Williamson, 3 January 1811, as per marriage records of Bedford County, Va. Others have stated that his second wife was Nancy Clayton. I offer no proof for either claim. It can be stated for sure is that Barnabas was married first to Elizabeth who died after 1802 and then married second to Nancy. There were numerous Barnabas Arthurs around Bedford, Campbell, and Franklin Co.'s at the same time, making identification of each very difficult.
He was married to Elizabeth (ARTHUR). Elizabeth ARTHUR was born about 1735. She died after 1802 in , Bedford Co., Virginia. Barnabas ARTHUR Sr. and Elizabeth ARTHUR had the following children:
