    • Thank you to Carolyn Fairall for the following:

      Seth Chitwood, b 1766 VA, d unm. 1850 Ralls Co, MO, a brother to Richard Chitwood, d 1822 St. Louis Co, MO. Seth's will proves names of his siblings John, Richard and Catherine (Caty). Also a sibling in early St. Louis Co, MO is sister Elizabeth (Isabella) Chitwood Whiteside Hubbard. These 5 siblings were children of James Chitwood, d 1780 NC and his wife Alcy/Alice, of Rutherford Co, NC. (See GenForum Message #316).

      Seth's will states:
      ..."In the first place my beloved brother John Chitwood, has had I think about an equal portion of my estate already in favours, I have done him through life, and I therefore give and bequeath all my estate; real and personal or mixed of any kind whatever to my six nephews To wit,
      ..."James Chitwood, John Chitwood, Richard Chitwood, Hiram Chitwood, Amos Chitwood sons of my brother Richard Chitwood deceased, and Stephen Burts son of my sister Caty Burts, to be equally divided amongst them, all to have and to hold the same, to them and their heirs forever and my request is for them to divide the property amongst themselves, with as little expense as possibly they can..."
