O'Bannon as executors with a special charge to Presley Neville O'Bannon to "Pay every possible attention to his m other and see her righted in every instance." The provisions of the will are as follows: Wife Ann..the plantation whereon I now live, and 100 acres of land, a part of the tract I purchased from the Farflingers joining said plantation and George Elgin's land, also 4 negroes, one old Negro we nch named Jim, the waggon and four houses, ten head of choice cattle...all farming utensils and household and kitchen furniture..one of the best beds and furniture except. Son, William..200 acres on the Miami River (Ohio)..son, Presley Neville. . one of the best beds and furniture...son Jesse..equal part with other children of moveable property to be paid them in clothing...son, Alexander..(same as Jesse's).. Land property to be divided equally between my other children that may be living at the time of my death, William, Jesse and Alexander are to have not part of the land only as above mentioned. After the death of my wife Ann all the above mentioned property given to her or what there may be remaining thereof is to be e qually divided between my surviving children, Jesse and Alexander excepted and William is to have no part of the land. On 24 Oct. 1808, Presley N. O'Bannon came into Court and qualified as an executor. In 1813 543 and 1/2 acres of the estate was divided as follows: Lot No. 1 to John O'bannon, 66 acres: No. 2 to Elizabeth Pepper, 68 acres; No. 3 to Joseph O'Banno n, 66 acres; No. 4 to Bryant O'Bannon, 62 acres; No. 5 to Mason Lawrence, 64 acres; No. 6 to children of Joyce Lawrence (dead by 1813) and had married John Lawrence on 13 March 1786, 62 and 1/2 acres; and No. 7 to George Jeffries, 60 acres. Reco rded in Fauquier County Will Book 6, p.309 (Sundberg and Gott). Ann (Neville) O'Bannon died in the year 1824. On 8 Nov. 1824 the Dower Tract on which William O'Bannon deceased lived was divided by Commissioners into lots as follows: Lot No. 1..to Bryant O'Bannon; No 2 to Thomas O'Bannon; No. 3 to Agnes Jeffr ies, wife of George Jefferies; No. 4 to William Utterback, husband of Polly; No. 5 to Joseph O'Bannon; No. 6 to Elizah Pepper, husband of Sally O'bannon; No. 7 to Presley N. O'Bannon; House lot to Mason Lawrence, husband of Nancy O'Bannon (Sundb erg and Gott). The old home of William O'Bannon (he was sometimes referred to as Captain William O'bannon) stood until the early 1950's when it gradually fell to ruin. It is known locally a "The Lawrence Place." After the death of Mrs. Drucill a (Utterback) Russell, a descendant, the property was sold and the cemetery with its ancient boxwoods and stone wall be been neglected, it has become a thicket of briars and honeysuckle.
