Thomas Daniel (ca. 1769–1855), farmer, owned eighteen slaves and real estate valued at $24,000 in 1850 (Woods, Albemarle description begins Edgar Woods, Albemarle County in Virginia, 1901, repr. 1991 description ends , 404; DNA: RG 29, CS, Albemarle Co., 1850, 1850 slave schedules; Albemarle Co. Will Book, 24:32–4, 36, 172; Richmond Whig and Public Advertiser, 26 Oct. 1855).

William H. Garland left an estate with personal property valued at $995.98 in 1826 (Albemarle Co. Will Book, 8:276–7).

On 7 Mar. 1821 the Albemarle County Court confirmed and recorded an agreement between the president, directors, and company of the Richmond branch of the Second Bank of the United States, as plaintiffs, and Robert Carter Nicholas, Wilson Cary Nicholas (ca. 1796–1828), and Thomas Jefferson Randolph, in their capacity as administrators of the estate of Wilson Cary Nicholas, as defendants, according to which (one word editorially corrected and an unmatched closing parenthesis editorially omitted) “the Defendants acknowledgeth the Plaintiff action for forty thousand dollars the penalty in said bond mentioned But to be discha[r]ged by the payment of Twenty thousand dollars with Interest thereon from the fifteenth day of September 1819 till paid. Therefore with the assent of the Pltffs it is considered by the Court that the Plaintiffs recover against the Defendants the sum of forty thousand Dollars but to be discharged by the payment of twenty thousand dollars with Interest thereon from the 15th day of September 1819 till paid and their costs by them about their suit in this behalf expended to be Levied of the goods and chattles rights &c of the estate of Wilson C Nicholas deceased which are now in their hands or hereafter may come to them to be administered but with the distinct understanding and agreement that the Defendants are in no wise or degree to be liable by reason of the Confession beyond said assets that is that they are in no degree to be liable in their own individual character or out of their own estate” (MS in Albemarle Co. Order Book [1820–21], 412, in an unidentified hand; Tr in ViU: Randolph Family of Edgehill and Wilson Cary Nicholas Papers, in Ira Garrett’s hand, with the most significant variation from MS being acknowledgment that the estate was due “a credit of six hundred dollars being six months interest paid 20 Oct 1820”; enclosed in Garrett to Randolph, 10 Mar. 1838 [RC in ViU: Randolph Family of Edgehill and Wilson Cary Nicholas Papers]).

In his 25 Feb. 1820 will, Wilson Cary Nicholas, noting that his affairs were “much embarressed & my health precarious,” vested his entire estate in his administrators and authorized them “to sell the whole or any part of it upon such terms as they may think proper to bind the whole of it to the payment of my debts or to pledge the whole or any part of it for the loan of money to be applied to that purpose & to make any compromise or arrangement with my creditors they may think right.” He added “this special trust nevertheless that my wife & daughters shall have a frugal support until my affairs are adjusted when that is done I devise to my wife the use of my estate during her life with authority to her to divide it among our children by deed or will to take effect after her death in such proportions as she may think proper” (Tr in Albemarle Co. Will Book, 7:84).
