Peter Truitt: An Analysis of his will made 4 January 1790, Sussex, Delaware

The words, my four small children" and the statement "my desire that they may divide peaceably and quietly and have no disputes" suggests Peter's widow, Betty, may be his second or third wife. Direct evidence supporting this assertion is found in the probate case file, opened for Betty Truitt, February 1796, when Adam Short paid an administration bond on her estate, inventoried her personal property, and distributed the proceeds of her estate to her heirs, John, Charlotte, Lovey and Leah (deceased). Peter Truitt's seven adult children did not share in the proceeds of Betty's estate. If Betty was the mother of Peter's elder children, not only, is it reasonable, one of them would administer "their mother's" estate, but also logical, Betty's estate would be distributed among Peter's eleven children. There is a clear delineation between the guardianship of Peter's "four small children", overseen by Adam Short and the admi...

William “Hayden” Truitt was never named in court records and deeds of Somerset, Maryland or Worcester, Maryland. The identity of this person is unknown. Does “Hayden” refer to a person long-time into the future? Outlier researchers usually add a “random” middle-name to indidvuals to promote their interpretation. So, this is a lesson about ind ividuals on Family Search . Do we believe what we read because we are empowered by uncritically thinking people, to accept, unsourced genealogies. You may be. But I am appaulled at that thought. Author: Sarah Baird. Date: 11 January 2025.

Thomas Truitt of Littleton is identified in the...

Riley Truitt and Catherine Thetford of Georgia ca. 1790-1809

Registration of births, deaths and marriages were not compulsory during Riley Truitt's lifetime. No known church or Bible record names Riley's parents, his spouse or descendants. Because he left a trail of court records and deeds across four American states, Riley Truitt, son of Riley and grandson of James Truitt died between 1770-1775 Worcester, Maryland is differentiated from men of the same name, born around the same time. There are sufficient, surviving deeds and court records of Worcester, Maryland, Sussex, Delaware, the State of Georgia and Warren county, Kentucky, available freely on FamilySearch, which provide personal information to link him to his family members. While no direct source confirming his marriage to Catherine Thetford appears to exist, an assemblage of direct and indirect evidence establishes the identity of Catherine, her marriage to Riley and her parents. Conclusion – Catherine, wife of Riley Truitt, was the daughter of William Thetford and his wife Mar...
