From Ramona Armstrong Duff:
Death: Will was dated 1794. Will was probated 24 Jul 1797 in Bedfored
Co., Virginia. In his will, he lists over 2,000 acres of land which he leaves
to his wife and sons. (As early as 1756, he granted this land on the south side
of Bedford County by the king. Parts of this land are still owned by Ayres
descendents). This land was in the vicinity of Rock Castle Creek between
Moneta and White House. He also had 2 negro slave boys. His land in Maryland
was left to his son James Ayers, Jr.
Other information: His name is found spelled both Ayers and Ayres. In
his will he mentions 10 daughters and 1 son by name and then states the other
sons have already received their shares. The order of births of these children
is not known.
In the land records of Bedford County, Virginia - Deed Book 7, pg 366:
This day came Katherin Nichols before us Justices of the Peace
for the County of Bedford in the State of Virginia and made oath on the Holy
Evangelist of the Almighty God, That she had known James Ayres of said county
of Bedford from his infancy and that he was born in the County of Prince George
in the state of Maryland and that he is the son and heir of James and Dinah
Ayres of the said Prince George County, Maryland. Sworn to court, 23 Aug 1784
