ii. Andrew Harriot, born Abt. 1732; married
Mary ____ Bef. 1771.
Notes
for Andrew Harriot:
Name of wife
is derived from the Quit Claim in 1770 which is signed by Andrew Herriot and
Mary Herryot.
There is
a record that he contested the will of his father, Andrew, but on the 4th day
of April 1770 did agree to share the estatewith his four sisters. (The will
provided that it be shared equally).
April 4,
1770 Quit Claim Andrew Herriot of Woodbridge (Only son of Andrew Herriott of
Woodbridge deceased) to Thomas Berry and wife Jane, Reuben Fitz Randolph and
wife Mary, Thomas Carryl and wife Sarah, and Rachel Herriot. Whereas Andrew Herriot late of Woodbridge,
deceased, by will of July 26, 1734, devised the plantation on which he lived in
Woodbridge, to his children, to be equally divided, but no division has yet
been made, and it is suggested by Andrew's attorney, only son of said Andrew
Herriot, deceased, that will may not be valid in which ____ he as heir at law
to his father, would be entitled to all of latter's____ . Now to avoid any
disputes, and in (consideration) of L65 (65 pounds) paid by above 4 co-heirs.
Quit claim 4/5 of all of my father, i.e. 1/5 to each of the four so listed
above.
A
newspaper extract (The Pennsylvania Journal No. 1413 dated January 4, 1770)
indicates that an Andrew Herriot had "fallen on hard times," and was
in jail for his debts and was asking for his estate (probably referring to his
assets) to be distributed to his creditors so he could get out of jail. The
judge mentioned in the article is the same judge who presided over the property
sales.
In 1794,
estate of father Andrew Harriot
partitioned to Andrew Harriot (son), Jane (Harriot) Berry, Rachel
Harriot, Reuben Fitz Randolph, Mary (Harriot) Fitz Randolph, and Sarah
(Harriot) Carryl (Vol 1, Page 725).

Herriot to Thomas Carryl, July 21, 1771: To all persons to whom these presents

Notes

Sarah
Caryl was found buried in the Gilboa (Old Cemetery) with dates 1736-1820. She
was located in lot 303, immediately next to her sister, Rachel Harriot, lot
302. In addition, the following was learned: Lot 300 is Rachel H. Carryl Street
(apparently the daughter or granddaughter of Sarah) 1795-1887 and lot 301 is John Street, apparently
Rachel's husband, 1789-1854. For now, assuming Rachel H. Carryl is Sarah's
granddaughter, otherwise Sarah would have been 59 years old at her birth.
