Witnessed by John Mauzy and Mathew Harrison; Exr. Benjamin
Harrison, a brother-in-law, Joseph Blackwell, son-in-law going on his bond.
*On p. 326, vol. 23 Va. Mag. it states "Col. Jos. Blackwell,
married first 14 Aug. 1787, Ann Grayson Gibson, daughter of Col. John Gibson of Fauquier Co., and Mary Waddy (Brent) Gibson. I can not understand this statement, and believe it is incorrect, the will above cited disproving it. Hayden names children Susan Gibson Blackwell and Wm. Taylor Blackwell, born 1793, and Ann Grayson Blackwell.
