Notes for JAMES BOATWRIGHT:
James' plantation house is located in
Cumberland County, near Boatwright Island.
James owned Boatwright Island, located in the James River, between Cumberland and Fluvanna counties, Virginia, after the passing of his brother, Daniel.
The names, birth dates, and death dates of James Boatwright, his wives, children, and their
children, are drawn from a variety of sources, the most reliable of which are bible entries.
Elizabeth Blackburn Boatwright, the wife of James' oldest son Benoni, called Benjamine, recorded births, deaths, and marriages, including those of some of the family slaves, in her Bible. The entries are somewhat haphazard and are not complete for each family line, but it must be assumed that what is written is correct, particularly since much of the material is corroborated by other sources.
Entries in Elizabeth's Bible are provided by Dennis Guy Boatright of Texas. He had received a copy of the pertinent pages of Elizabeth's Bible from Denny Boatright of Missouri. The actual bible was last known to be in the possession of Mrs. Joe Adams, a grand daughter of William Letcher Todd and Eliza Ann Boatwright Todd.
Chesley Hood Boatwright, the youngest son of James, had a bible, last believed to be in the ossession of Clara Boatright Laningham of Arkansas, in which were found two neatly folded sheets of paper containing a list of all of the children of James Boatwright and their birth dates. At the bottom of the list is written, "The above register was drawn from his Father's family bible by his youngest son February 5th, 1843." It is signed "C. H. Bootright."

It should be noted, however, that the spelling of the surname itself is a cause of confusion. In most sources, one finds that the name as used by the early members of the family is spelled Boatwright. Generally, although not in all cases, the "w" was dropped in later generations. However, in the following will of James, written in 1814, the name is spelled "Boatright" throughout. The reason could be that the will was written by an attorney for James and, as seems to be the custom of the times, he spelled the name the way he saw fit. Nonetheless, in a handwritten list of siblings and their birth dates compiled by James' youngest son, Chesley Hood, Chesley spells the name "Bootright". In Elizabeth Blackburn's Bible, the name is spelled both "Boatwright" and "Boatright." To make the matter even more uncertain, she spells the surname of her husband Benjamine, James' oldest son, without the "w" as she does James'. She also spells her married name without the "w" in the Bible, but on her tombstone the "w" is included.
Inconsistency abounds in the spelling of the Boat(w)right name, particularly in this line of the family. It seems best not to become too concerned over the spelling of the surname, realizing that our earlier ancestors seemed to have spelled it as the mood struck them on any given day.
WILL OF JAMES BOATWRIGHT OF CUMBERLAND COUNTY, VA.
Source: The actual will above is owned by Dan Boatwright.
The will of James Boatwright can be found in the Cumberland County, Virginia, Circuit Court records, Will Book 5, Page 86:
"In the name of God amen, knowing that it is appointed for all men once to die, I James Boatright of Cumberland County and State of Virginia, being in my right mind and of disposing memory, do make this my last will and testament.

I give to my son Chestly Boatright my tract of land on which I live, of one hundred and nineteen acres be the same, as also my still and still vessels provisor that the said Chestly Boatright lets my daughter Drucilla Boatright remain in the mansion house on said plantation with him after my death and boarding free until she marrys, to him and his heirs forever.

In witness there of I have hereunto set my hand and affixed my hand and affixed my seal this 10th day of January in the year one thousand eight hundred and fourteen (1814).
Signed, sealed, published and declared as and for the last will and testament of the named James Boatright in the presence of us.

It is apparent from the signature at the end of this will that James, for all his land and property
holdings, was unable to read and write. As he obviously did not write this will himself, it
would account for the misspellings, particularly of family members. The names of his
children Chesley and Drucillah, are spelled incorrectly throughout this document. The accurate
and correct spelling of these names is well documented in letters, bible records, etc., some of
which are written by the same family members whose names are misspelled in the will.
It is interesting to note that the "Daniel's Iland" willed to his son Leonard can be found on a current (1998) map of Cumberland County and is now known as "Boatwright's Island".

Notes for JESSE BOATWRIGHT:
Jesse Boatwright lived in Cumberland County in the late 1700's and early 1800's about whom we know very little. His will, from which virtually all of the information concerning this Jesse is derived, is dated in 1821, which would exclude him from being one of the three original brothers unless he was well over 100 years of age. We know his wife was named Judith, we have a list of all of his children living at the time his will was written, and we know from marriage records that one his sons, Langhorne, married a cousin, Sally Boatwright, in Cumberland County in 1785. We know little else about Jesse but speculate that he is a brother to James, because of the geographic proximity between the two and the similarities of the names of the children of both. The best guess, and it is a guess only, is that Jesse and James are probably brothers.
WILL OF JESSE BOATWRIGHT
In the name of God amen, I Jesse Boatright of the County of Cumberland being weak in body but of sound and disposing mind and memory do make this my last will and testament in manner and form following, hereby revoking all other wills heretofore by me made.

To my son Thomas, I give my negro boy Anthony and at the death of my wife, I also give him my negro boy Jack to him and his heirs forever.
To my daughter Jenny Gibbons I leave my negro girl (illegible) and called by the name of Cinder, now in her possession, during her natural life, and at her death, the said negro Cinder and her natural increase if any to be divided among all my said daughter Jenny’s children.

Notes for SAMUEL BOATWRIGHT:
Information for Samuel Boatwright and descendents provided by Billie Boatright Ranson.
1787 Virginia Census Hanover Co., Sam Botewright enumerated with James Botewright, owned 2 slaves over 16 years of age. District of Elisha White Commissioner Hanover Co. Tax List B.
Samuel came to Mecklenburg Co. NC in 1787 per Rev. War Pension application #S6684 , 7 June 1832 Vol. A page 38. He seved in Virginia and was present when Cornwallis surrendered.
Also on 1787 Hanover Co. Tax List are John Bookwright with 2 white males above 16 and under 21, and Daniel Bookwright, 1 White male above 16 and under 21, 4 Blacks under 16. Marriages in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina: Samuel Bootwright and Nancy Weathers, August 1, 1792, Reuben Weathers, bondsman and Isaac Alexander, witness.
Samuel appears on tax lists in Mecklenburg Co. NC, in 1797,1798, 1799 ,1806, and 1807. For the first time in 1807 he appears as a property owner with 140 acres of land and 2 slaves.
Reuben Weathers, father of Nancy Weathers Boatright, willed 145 acres to his daughter in a Mecklenburg Co. will dated 2 Mar 1806, probated in April 1806. The will leaves another parcel, or part of the same parcel, to son Randolph Weathers, except the parcel where Samuel Boatwright now lives. It is unclear if Samuel was also given property.
In 1797, Samuel was bonded and licensed to keep an ordinary in his home, per Mecklenburg County Minutes of Common Pleas and Quarter Sessions. It is possible that Samuel and Nancy had 2 houses after that license.
