Jeremiah Exum

( - Bef 28 Mar 1720)



Jeremiah Exum was in Isle of With, VA as early as 1686, when his signature was attached to the will of Michael Mackquinney as a witness, 15 Apr 1686. He was one of the Associate Judges of the Court of Isle of Wight. His wife, Ann, was mentioned in a deed to Thomas Cullen in such a way that there was likely a relationship to the Lawrence family and it's possible that his wife Ann was a daughter of John Lawrence. John Lawrence left a will dated 2 Jan 1696/7 in Nansemond Co but those wills have been destroyed.

Jeremiah & Ann are mentioned frequently in the Quaker records. Both left wills in Isle of Wight County; his recorded 28 Mar 1720, hers on 27 Mar 1727

The only son of Jeremiah and Ann was Richard, who died before his parents leaving a large estate in Virginia & North Carolina. His sisters inherited his estate, their husband signing in the final settlement.
