AnecdoteAugust 1753In Aug 1753 a suit of Kemp vs Floyd was recorded in Northampton Co, VA. A complaint was filed by Alexander Kemp and Comfort, his wife and Hhamer Satchell. They show that William Satchell, father of Comfort & Hhamer, by his will probated 10 May 1737, devised his plantation and additional land to his daughter Susanna Satchell after paying £5 to each of her sisters, Hhamer and Henrietta. The said Susanna took possession and aftwards married Mathew Floyd. Henrietta Satchell died under age @ 1750. At the time of this complaint - 12 Dec 1752 - both Susannah and Matthew Floyd were deceased. Neither the said Susannah before her marriage to the said Matthew nor James Floyd, his Extr. have paid the £5 as directed in the will to Hhamer Satchell nor to the representatives of the dec'd Henrietta. The above said James still refuses to pay. The said James in his answer - dated 8 May 1753 - claims that Alexander Kemp was named guardian of Hhamer Satchell 14 years ago (thus she was born about 1728) and that no suit has been filed for all of the ensuing years. He also answers that he has no proof that the devise was not paid. He asks that the case be dismissed.3
