Individual Details

Earlier researchers had claimed that Magdalene's sister Maria was the wife of William Overall. The following proves that it was indeed Magdalene that was married to Overall and that Maria/Mary was married to Abraham Kellar.

Magdalene married William Overall, although some early genealogists have his name as "John" Overall. Their eldest son may have been the John Overall who remained in Shenandoah County and had a grant near Abraham Kellar Sr. John married Elizabeth Ann Waters, and a second wife.

The Hite-Fairfax lawsuit revealed that William Overall had received 150 acres out of a 500 tract sold to Paul Froman by Jost Hite, as had Abraham Kellar. A later survey and grant suggests that John Overall was the eventual recipient of the grant which proved to be 90 acres - perhaps William by then deceased.

From the Hite-Fairfax Papers (MSS 162, Filson Historical Society)
To the Honorable the Judges of the high Court of Chancery humbly complaining thereunto your honors your Orators John Netherton, Henry Netherton, John Overall and Abraham Kellar that they are possessed of a Tract of land lying on the South River in the county of Shanandoah containing 500 acres more or less that the same as now held by your Orators was Sold by Jose Hite to Paul Froman, that Paul Froman Sold 200 acres part thereof of Henry Speers who sold to Daniel Stover to whom Joist Hite gave a Bond for a title to the said 200 acres of land and that Daniel Stover Sold the same to your Orator Henry Netherton and John Netherton. That the said Paul Froman gave the remaining part of the said Tract of land to his two daughters Mary and Magdalen. That Mary intermarried with your Orator Abraham Kellar and that Magdalen intermarried William Overall who sold his part of the said Land to your Orator John Overall. That your Orators having this fair title to the premises well hoped that they might enjoy this land without molestation. But now so it is may it please your Honors that a Copy of the Decree obtained by the Hites and others Complainants against the representatives of the late Lord Fairfax defendants hath been served your Orators by which your Orators are Compelled to State their titles to the Honorable Court or Loose their Lands, all which actings and doing are contrary to Equity.
