Estate of Charles Lisenby

Sometime around August 1837, Charles Lisenby of Chesterfield District, passed away leaving both a real and personal property estate. Notice of a Sheriff's sale of the real property appeared on 1 August 1837 with the sale scheduled in September 1837.  The notice read in part:

“all the real estate of Charles Lisonby, dec'd.situate in the said District, on Jemmey's Creek, bounded by Jemmey's and Little creeks, and the lands of Wm. Privett, Wm. Ganey, and Archibald McQuage, containing seventy acres more or less.”



Lawsuit brought by Elizabeth Boan

                                  *****************************************

I have several unanswered questions about the Charles Lisenby Estate.`
  • First, Elizabeth Boan was listed as an Heir-at-Law; What was her relationship to Charles Lisenby?
  • Second, what is the relationship of William Parrish and Caleeta his wife to Elizabeth Boan and Charles Lisenby?
  • The wife of the said Charles Lisenby was called Elizabeth Lisenby. Is Elizabeth Boan also Elizabeth Lisenby?


If you have any knowledge of this Estate or the family of Charles Lisenby I would like to hear from you.
