Will of Alexander Kinchen,
deceased
In the name of God, Amen. I,
Alexander Kinchen of the county of Chatham and state of North Carolina, being low in health, though
of sound mind and being strongly impressed with the mortality of the human
frame, do make and ordain this my will and testament. First, I am perfectly
content with the law of the state as to what property I may leave, that is to
say, that my loving wife Elizabeth, and my dear
little son William Poe should occupy and enjoy it. But as I have
sold the land I received by my said wife, and further as I have lately sold the
house and lot whereon I new live, and thus not possessing either house or
houses, and as my said wife and child will shortly, that is to say, on the
twenty-fifth day of December next, be without a house, it being the day on
which my agreement that the said premises are to be given up, and as there will
be a necessity for some provision to be made in this respect, therefore my will
and desire is that my Executors hereinafter named be empowered at their
pleasure and by their judgment, to purchase a piece of land with comfortable
buildings, or otherwise to build them one or to purchase a house and lot that
may appear most expedient and property, so that my said wife and child may be
supplied with an abiding place. And further, that my said Executors may sell
again or swap or purchase further as to them may seem most property for the
convenience and advantage of my said wife and child. Further my wish is that my
old Negro slave Sarah, my bay horse and my stock of saddlery and saddler’s
tools, be sold on such credit or in such way as my said Executors may deem most
advisable, or that said slave be hired out at the discretion of my said
Executors. And that nothing else be sold except my Executors should find it
necessary or expedient. Also my desire is (as must and ought to be the case)
that all my just depts. Be paid as soon as the situation of my affairs will
permit, and for this purchase as well as others, I desire that the debts due me
may be collected as soon as may be consistent with the ordinary inconvenience
to my debtors. Again as respects my Negro salve Harry, I presume the best plan
will be to keep him at his trade, but in this I give full latitude to my
Executors, either to hire him out or purchase a set of smith tools, furnish
shop, etc., and set him to work, and if they please, let my Negro slave Jo,
with him as a striker, or to do otherwise as they may deem best. Finally,
respecting my Executors, I wish no restraints put upon them, but the following,
but allow them to bargain, buy and sell at their pleasure with this single
restraint, that they have an eye simply to the benefit of my dear wife and
child. And further that the property remain in the possession of and under the
direction of my said Executors until my said wife shall again marry or until my
said son shall come of age, which will be should he live, on the fourteenth day
of September the year of our Lord and twenty-five. On the event of either, my
will is that the property of every description shall be fairly divided between
them, share and share alike. And lastly, I do hereby appoint my dear and loving
wife, Executrix, and my trusty friend, Rhoderick Cotten (Cathen), William
Dismukes and Winship Stedman, Executors to this my last will and
testament. I hope that they will do me the favor to comply with this my last
important request. In testimony of all which I have hereunto set my hand and
affixed my seal at Pittsborough in the state aforesaid, this 21st
day of June 1806

In the name of God,
Amen. I, Robert Poe of Chatham County, and state of North Carolina, knowing the mortality of my
body, and calling to mind that it is appointed for all mankind to die, and
being in my sound mind and memory. First of all, I recommend my soul to
Almighty God that gave it, and for my body to have a decent burial. First, I
give unto my beloved wife, Anna Poe, two feather beds and furniture, and all my
household and kitchen furniture, and also one hundred acres of land
whereon now live, during her lifetime;
also all my stock of every kind, I give unto my wife during her lifetime. Also
I give unto my beloved wife, all my working tools. My will further is that my
wife pay all my just debts. My will further is that my beloved wife dispose of
all the property that I have left her, just as she shall think proper, and for
her to have it in her power to make a good right to all the above left property
or any part thereof. Lastly, I constitute my beloved friend, my lawful
Executors, namely, Mark Bynum and Anna Poe, my Executrix, revoking all other
will or wills by me made, do make and ordain this to be my last will and
testament in manner and form above written. In witness whereof, I have hereunto

* The Womble name
appears in many records I have not recorded here, since I have found no actual
Poe connection. (one vague reference to a Womble “uncle by marriage” in the Jesse
Poe reunion article has shown up).
---- a miscellaneous
aside. The name Hasten Poe appears in two seemingly distinct branches of the
Poe family, here in North Carolina (Hasten
Poe, son of Stephen Poe) and the Poe family out of Amelia / Prince Edward
County, Virginia. Hasten Poe there went to Franklin
County, Kentucky. A record from Chatham
County dated 1824
mentions a Hasten Green. It is just that that this is the only other person I
have found with the name Hasten who was not a Poe. Does anyone know the origin
of the name Hasten - is it pronounced as in the word hasten "to urge
on" or is it pronounced HasTen?)

(if this Ward family
is the same as that found in Amelia / Prince Edward County, Virginia, it may
show a link between the Poe family found there and the Poe family from Caroline County that came to Orange/Chatham
County, North Carolina. Did the two Poe families re-connect in North Carolina?
No direct link between the two Poe families has been found. Note that a
descendant of the Amelia/ PEC Poe family is named Hasten Poe. That Hasten Poe
went to Kentucky. Another Hasten Poe appears below, connected to the Ward
family.)
