His name first appears in the will of his godfather, John Williams, dated 1 March 1689. James' father, Richard, and grand-uncle, Thomas Moore, with James Powell, were appointed as overseers of the will. John Williams, Jr. was appointed executor of his father's estate. He may have been the same John Williams who died in 1708. James Piland, his brother, George Piland, and Francis Lee were witnesses to his will, dated 15 March 1707/8 and recorded 1 May 1708. He was also, quite possibly, the same Williams who married James' aunt, Margaret (?) Moore. This relationship would account for Williams appointing James Sampson and George Piland as his overseers, as James Sampson would have been his wife's first cousin, while George Piland would have been his wife's nephew. John Williams names three of his children as legatees: son John, daughter Sarah, and eldest daughter, Alexandra, who may have been the namesake of James' paternal grandmother. The John Williams estate was appraised by James Piland, Peter Deberry, John Weston and Richard Lewis and recorded 9 February 1708/9. THE LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF JAMES PYLAND In the Name of God Amen I James Pyland of the Isle of Wight County in Warrick Squeak parish being sick and weak of Body but of a sound & perfect mind and memory praise be therefore given to Almighty God do make this my present last will and Testament in manner & form following that is to say At a court held for Isle of Wight county the 22nd day of April 1728 The last will & testament of James Pyland deced was presented in Court by Elizabeth Pyland Executrix herein names who made oath thereto and being proved by the oaths of the witnesses thereto is admitted to record. Elizabeth Pyland presented an appraisal of the estate, also dated 22 April 1728, but it was not recorded until 28 April 1740. Peter Deberry, the co-appraiser of the Williams estate, was appointed executor in the will of his relative, the widow Jane Smith, on 5 November 1710. James Piland and Elizabeth Wood were named as witnesses. James Piland, with Nicholas Thomson and Elener Thomson, witnessed the will of Richard Glover of Surry County on 16 July 1715. Elizabeth Wood's husband, Thomas Wood, of the Upper Parish of Isle of Wight, wrote his will on 25 November 1715, with James Piland, Catherine Piland and Mary Bennett as witnesses. He gave bequests to his son, George Wood, and a grandson (whose name is undeciperable). He appoints wife, Elizabeth, as executor. Elizabeth, probably his second wife, died childless, surviving her husband by five years. Without defining their relationship, Elizabeth Wood named James Piland as sole heir in her will. James' second cousin, James Wilson, witnessed the document. On 28 April 1720, James Piland, Benjamin Hodges, and Roger Ingram witnessed the will of Robert Lanquishear of Upper Parish. William Amos, of the Lower Parish, wrote his will on 10 May 1720. His heirs were "my friend Elizabeth Whitaker, the daughter of Elizabeth Whitaker of Denby, Warwick County ...friend, Col. John Allen...friend James Pyland, all my books on Physicks, Surgery and all my instruments." Elizabeth Whitaker was appointed executrix. Witnesses to the will were William Drew, Mathew Jones, and Lawrence Baker. Amos' will was recorded 6 June 1721. (The elder Elizabeth Whitaker has been identified by Whitaker genealogists as the former Elizabeth Pyland.) James Pyland, James Wilson and George Riddick appraised the estate of Robert Kea, which was recorded 23 April 1722. Benjamin Hodges' name appears again with James Piland, and James Wilson, when the three were ordered to appraise the estate of William English, on 14 February 1723/4. James Pyland, Arthur Wills, and James Wilson appraised the estate of John Brantley on 26 April 1725. James Pyland and Elizabeth Sparkman were witnesses to the will of Thomas Fiveash, dated 4 January 1725/6. Stephen Kea's estate was appraised by James Pyland, John Brantley, and Peter Fiveash. The appraisal was recorded 26 June 1727. On 19 April 1727 James Pyland and John Welch witnessed the will of Henry Kea. A few days later, on 28 April, James Pyland and James Wilson were appointed executors of the will of Hester Brantley, who was their second cousin once removed. On 25 March 1728, James Pyland, James Wilson, and Thomas Moreland appraised the estate of Henry Kea. James Piland, Peter Fiveash, and John Bunkley appraised the estate of George Riddick. The appraisal was recorded 23 Dec 1728, following James' death. |
