| Notes |
- Margaret Easley, daughter of Robert and Ann (Parker) Easley, was
probably born c. 1686-1692. She m. (1) before 1711, Thomas Dupray, as
is indicated by her father's will.
Margaret Easley had more than one child by her marriage to Thomas
Dupray, as indicated by the Henrico Co., Va. Orphans' Court Book,
transcribed by Pauline Pearce Warner, p. 109. Thomas Dupray died
before 1725, and Margaret (Easley) Dupray remarried before 5 October
1725 to James Watson, as evidenced by the Orphans' Court Book. (Joyce
Lindsay, Henrico Co. Marriages, transcribed the name of the second
husband as James Walton, but a search of the original record by
Charles Hughes Hamlin confirmed the name of the second husband as
James Watson. There was a James Watson listed 1746 in Goochland Co.,
Va. with 3 tithes. It is not know if it was the same man, nor has an
estate been located with will or administration. It is not known if
there were children by the second marriage.
Weisiger, Colonial Wills of Henrico Co., Va., Vol. I, p. 80, "Henrico
Co. Wills & Deeds 1710-1714," p. 20, shows the will of Thomas Paine,
29 April 1710, witnessed by Susannah Howlett, Margrea Deupey, Thomas
Howlett. Recorded 1 August 1710.
The only other court record of Margaret Easley is in 1720, when she
witnessed the will of John Barnes in Henrico Co., Va., as Margaret
Dupraye. (This John Barnes was the first husband of her future
sister-in-law, Sarah (Raibone) Barnes.)
