I would like to ask if you've ever seen information about Rice Ennis and his daughter, Susanna, in your genealogy work. Here's a citation naming her as a deceased daughter.
The decision rendered at the Sept. Court, Amelia county, 1830, was that Rice Ennis died intestate, leaving his widow Frances Ennis who is now living and the following children:--Mary Cosby, widow of Jeremiah Cosby, John Ennis, Lucy Boatright (wife of Alexander Boatright), and one grandchild, William Baughan, son of Susanna Ennis who is deceased and was the wife of William Baughan; these and no other heirs. At the same court, Sept., 1831, Ordered that the order made at the Sept. court, 1830 be answered, it appearing that there was an error in certifying that Mary Cosby was one of the heirs of said Rice Ennis, decd. Her name being Elizabeth and not Mary. The court certifies the same accordingly. Copy teste, J. T. Leigh, Clerk. The above named heirs appointed John W. Nash their Atty. Signed and acknowledged before H. P. Eanes, J. of P. Amelia county, 13 Nov., 1830. Richmond, Va., Jan. 15, 1831. Recd. of Register warrant No. 6807 in favor of the heirs of Rice Ennis. Signed, J. W. Nash, Atty.
Description: Published in 1927, this important reference work identifies many military men serving from Virginia in the Revolutionary War. Information about each soldier has been compiled from documents on file in the Virginia Land Office, or from material in the Archives Dept. of the Virginia State Library. Entries often contain information about heirs, spouses, witnesses, and other people as are associated with the proceedings of probate and other legal processes.
