Robert Palmatary Book: John Palmatary, son of Robert Palmatary, was born, raised, lived and died on his father's land, part of the original "Robert's Chance," in Duck Creek HD Kent Co DE. His father had left the 125 acre tract to John and his two brothers, with the stipulations they could not sell it except to each other. John's brothers each sold their shares to John who was living on and farming the land.
John died without a will, leaving five minor sons. His brother in law James Severson was named guardian to sons Robert James William and Allen, and John Davis was appointed guardian of son John. Margaret the widow was evidently John's second wife and not the mother of the five boys. This was deduced by the fact that John's inventory included "his deceased wife's apparrel."
John's inventory totaled over two hundred thirty pounds sterling. He was a prosperous farmer. His widow Margaret and his brother in law James Severson were named administrators of his estate. Margaret married John Harwood by 1774 and became stepmother to his four children. John Harwood died April 29 1790 and a year later, Margaret married her neighbor John Truax. They had no children. When Margaret died in 1813 her heirs were stepson Thomas Harwood, stepdaughter Elizabeth Harwood O'Nail, grandson Robert Palmatary and widower John Truax.
When John Palmatary died, widow Margaret got one-third of his land, and the remainder was divided into six parts. Oldest son John got two -sixths and the others got one sixth. Sons John and James sold their shares to John Harwood. Son Allen sold his share to Benjamin Vanwinkle. Son William sold his to John Truax. Only son Robert held on to his share of the land.
William Palmatary except for the appointment of his guardian and the division of his father's land not record of him has been found.
