Mary Ivey (or Ivy)

Family/Spouse: Samuel Carr. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

1. Demcy Carr was born before 1792.

Notes:

John Ivey (c1720 ? 1792) His father?s will left most of his land to John Ivey. This land was referenced in a 1752 deed as being at the head of the Western Branch in the Great Dismal Swamp.15 John Ivey continued to live in the western precinct of southern Norfolk, buying additional land there from John Taylor in 1753 with brother-in-law Robert Ives a witness.16 He was in the Portsmouth parish tithables in 1750, 1751 (as constable), 1752, 1767 (with John Smith), 1768, 1770, 1771, 1773 (with a second John Ivey), and 1778. He moved to Duplin County, North Carolina sometime after 1786 where he left a will dated and proved in 1792.17 The will named wife Leah, daughter Mary Carr and grandson Demcy Carr (son of Samuel Carr and Mary his wife), grandson Jesse Brown and granddaughter Sarah Harrod (daughter of David Brown and Patience his wife, both deceased), daughter Sarah Parker, and daughter Charity Smith. It also named ?my niece? Elizabeth, the daughter of Lemuel Ivey, deceased, of Norfolk County, Virginia as a legatee. No sons were mentioned in the will. His wife was apparently the same Leah Ivey who witnessed the will of John Ives in 1777 in Norfolk County.

Other Events and Attributes:

• Will: 21 Feb 1752, Norfolk Co, Virginia; proven

Notes:

He was under 21, probably by several years, at the time of his father's will in 1693 and probably lived with his mother and Nathaniel Ludgall until he was of age. He appears to have remained in the far western part of Norfolk County. The first mention of him is the deed to him and his wife Sarah by his uncle William Dafnell in 1720 (see above). He was perhaps the John Ivey who, with Thomas Ivey, witnessed Edward Outlaw's power of attorney in 1727. Since Thomas Ivey proved the power of attorney in Norfolk's court, it is probable that both were residents of Norfolk in 1727. Probably the same John Ivey appears in the tithables lists in the western precinct of Norfolk County in 1730, 1736, 1750 and 1751, listed as a "cripple" and exempt from tax. Given this location and his wife's name, he seems to be the same John Ivey of the western branch precinct who left a will in Norfolk County dated 1 November 1749 and proved 21 February 1752. The will names his wife Sarah and children William, Lemuel, John, Charity Slatter, Patience Foreman, and Keziah Ives. His widow was left "my former dwelling house which my son John now dwells in" and John Ivey was left "all my lands".
