The Last Will and Testament of Charlotte (Jones) Lambeth

Our knowledge of the life of Charlotte Jones is very limited. Her parents are unknown at present. Most of the data known about Charlotte was obtained from a Cheraw County Equity records dated 1846.

[#12] Gainey, Lewis, Wm. H. Gainey + others vs. Charlotte Gainey - Bill for account and specific delivery of property 1846

A record of her first marriage to Jacob P. Gainey in 1836 was found in a Fayetteville Newspaper.

MARRIAGE: Fayetteville Newspaper 1816-1840, Fayetteville Observer and Predecessor Papers. August 11, 1836, In same county, recently, Mr. Jacob GANEY of SC to Miss Charlotte JONES of Anson.

After the death of her husband, Jacob P. Ganey on 4 April 1845, Charlotte married Amos Lambeth of  Randolph County, NC on 1 Dec 1846. This turned out to be a bad marriage for Charlotte with Amos abandoning her and absconding with some of the slaves of the Jacob P. Gainey estate. Much of the equity record deals with who has rightful ownership to the estate of Jacob P. Gainey and Lewis Gainey. The entire Equity suit runs over 120+ pages.

Charlotte outlived Amos by many years passing away on 23 July 1891 at the age of 84 years. Her Tombstone can be viewed here: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/48501608?search=true

Signed Sealed published and declared
as and for the last will and Testament
of the above names Archibald McQuaige
in the presence of us who at his request
and in the presence of each other have
hereunto affixed our names as witnesses thereto.
 

Archibald McQuaige estate file (Probate Folder #27) does not show as exact date for his death.
His Last Will and Testaments is dated 22 August 1858.
He was alive in 1860 when the 1860 Census were enumerated in Chesterfield County, South Carolina (7 July 1860)

1860 CENSUS: Chesterfield, South Carolina; Roll: M653_1217; Image: 264; Family History Library Film: 805217, Page: 130 (stamped); Line 35, Dwelling 523, Family 522; Archd McQUAGE, male, age 76, born in NC and Catherine McQUAGE, Female, age 71, born in SC.
 
The earliest date of documents within the estate folder are dated 5 September 1887. I believed that Archibald died much earlier than that and something (probably the sale of his land) resulted in the necessity to probate his estate.
 
Archibald and Catherine had at least 7 children; six of these children are named above in his Will.
i.    Pamela McQuaige, born Jul 1818; married Stephen Crawford; died 1901.
ii.    Mary McQuaige, born abt 1823; married Calvin C. Stroud.
iii.   Colon McQuaige was born about 1825.

vi.   Abigail McQuaige was born (date unknown). Abigail Melton
vii.   Daniel McQuaige was born about 1833.(died before his father wrote his will in August 1858?)
