| Elizabeth HAIRSTON was the daughter of Andrew HAIRSTON and Elizabeth (surname unknown).1 |
| Will | Andrew Hairston signed his will on 8 August 1771 and mentions his wife Elizabeth, sons; Peter and Hugh, daughters; Teney, Kitteran, Elizabeth, Precila, Ellenar, Margaret and Susana. He appoints his brother Samuel as his executor. However, Andrew Hairston did not die until 1782 and his sons Peter and Hugh had already died.1 |
| Probate | Andrew's wife, Elizabeth Hairston, the administrator of his estate, along with the other heirs, sold 400 acres of land to James Shearer on 4 September 1783. The deed was signed by Elizabeth Hairston, Alexander Forbes and his wife Jenny, Matthew Amox and his wife Catherine, Samuel Amox his wife Elanor, Prissialla Hairston, Margaret Hairston and Susanna Hairston. All of the women signed with a mark, usually indicating they could not write. - Campbell County Deed Book 2, page 9-10. FSL #8141162 image 224.  |
| NOTE* | NOTE: Elizabeth is mentioned in her father Andrew's 1771 will, "my daughters Jeney, Kitteren, Elizabeth, Precila, Ellenar, Margaret and Susana". Elizabeth is not mentioned in the will of Samuel Hairston 1782, Andrew's brother. Samuel's will does mention Andrew's daughters Priscilla, Margaret and Susanna. Andrew's brother Robert's 1790 will does not mention any of Andrew's children.
I have not found Elizabeth mentioned in any other documents. It appears that she probably died before 1782 when brother Samuel Hairston wrote his will. |
