Bond & Security between David Welsh, Joshua Welsh, John Welsh,
William Welsh, John Barbee and James Slaughter are held and firmly
bound unto John Withers of Stafford Co.,VA, Planters, for 723 pounds whereas
Thomas Welsh late of Prince William County, Planter, dec'd was seized of
a tract in Prince William now Fauquier had contracted with Thomas Withers,
brother of John Withers to whom it hath been since conveyed by David Welsh,
the oldest son and heir at law of Thomas Welch. Thomas Welsh
by his will dated 13 April 1752, did devise his land as follows:
"Item 1 - I give unto my six sons the land I now live upon until my
son Benjamin Welsh comes to age of 20 and then the whole tract to be sold
and the money equally divided amongst all my sons as is then alive.
Said will is duly recorded in Prince William County and whereas the aforesaid
David, Joshua, John and William Welsh, the four eldest sons (his two youngest
sons Daniel and Benjamin who enlisted in the Virginia Regiment being absent)
did expose to public sale the remaining part of said tract containing 664
acres. John Withers was the highest bidder at 361pounds 10 shillings
but it was doubted whether or not Benjamin Welsh was 20 years old and whether
664 acres was the exact acreage of the tract. John Withers demanded
a good title, the above gave security that they will do so, and also refund
any balance if the survey proves the tract to be less than 664 acres.
