• Possessions: 5 Dec 1795, Mecklenburg, Virginia, United States; sold land to his brother John

Notes:

Possessions:
James (his brother) sold 60 acres of his own and 20 acres "belonging to Elisha" to John Hill (their other brother) on 5 Dec 1795.

Elisha was not a party to the deed. Nor was he mentioned as deceased. So, how did James sell Elisha's land?

Notes:

The deeds from 1765 to 1768 from William Hill to his sons appear to be a different William Hill, perhaps the one who has 417 acres in the land tax books. But, it appears that the William & Elizabeth who are parents of John, William, etc. are different people.

Notes:

There is no 1794 personal property tax return for Elizabeth Hill. Likewise for 1795. Therefore, none of the children appear, either. However, there is still a real estate tax being paid.

One possibility is that Elizabeth has died and the boys are living with their guardians. Or they moved. Or they were missed.

Appraisal and inventory of her estate

However, either this is a different Elizabeth Hill, or this is an appraisal for some other purpose. The tax records make it pretty clear that she was alive for several more years.

Probate:
On the motion of John Hill who made oath and together with Sir Peyton Shipwith his security entered into and acknowledged this bond in the penalty of two hundred pounds as the Law directs certificate is granted him for obtaining letters of administration of the Estate of Elizabeth Hill decd in due form.

Either the estate paid this tax since it was not settled or she had not died. The way to tell is to look in the accounts for the estate and see who paid what when. Presumably since there was a probate and letters of administration in January 1794, she had died by then.

John Hill has 80 acres in 1798. Elizabeth has 80 acres less. There is no deed of gift or purchase. It appears that John has reached the age where he receives his inheritance.
