Ben. left slaves and stock to his wife Lucy and after her death it was left to her children. Lucy died 17 (left blank) and Matthew Turner took possession of all the property. Supposedly, one slave had been hired out for a lot of money. Matthew died 17 (left blank) intestate and his widow Patty Turner took possession of all the property. Amy had never been able to get a settlement even though she had requested it many times. She was due 1/6 part of Ben.'s estate with interest from the month of may 1783 until payment of at least 60 pounds is reached. May 1802 Answer of Martha Turner: Ben. slaves had all run off to the British Army before her husband became ex. except for one and he had never been hired out. All the legatees except Amy settled with Matthew before he died. 9 Nov 1802 The will of Ben. Horner named his wife Lucy as his ex, but she declined. He left some property to his sons Abijah and Benjamin. After Lucy's death, her part was to be divided among all the children. Abijah sold one slave ten years ago.
