Note for: George Cabaniss, BET 1709 AND 1720 - BEF 18 MAY 1744 Index

Individual Note:
[ge_Bailey-Eubanks.FTW]

Presumably born in Prince George County, between 1709 and 1720. He and his brother, Matthew, patented 347 acres in Amelia, 2 Jan. 1737, which they divided on 20 and 21 Aug. 1741, George paying Matthew 30 pounds for approximately 175 acres (Amelia DB 1, pp.33of.). In 1737 George, mate of the sloop Betty owned by Col. Benjamin Harrison, was attacked along with the captain while the boat was enroute from Jamaica to Williamsburg, but he escaped serious danger (Virginia Gazette, 15 Apr. 1737). Later he was listed as master when the boat cleared the upper district of James River (ibid., 17 June 1737).
George's undated will was offered for probate by his brother Mattew, 18 May 1744 (Amelia WB 1, p.28). On the same date in Amelia OB1 appears a curious notation that a writing of 1 July (1743) at Kingston, Jamaica purporting to be his last will and testament was also presented, but no witnesses being available to substantiate it, it was ordered lodged in the clerk's office. It is of interest that George was witness to the will of Rebecca Shute of Port Royal, Jamaica, dated 12 Aug. 1732, probated in Bath County, North Carolina, 28 May 1743.

Erskine failed to return account, so on 26 Feb. 1756 Sarah chose William Westbrook (Amelia OB 2, p.353, and OB 4, p.33).
