- A Family Called Fort, by Homer T. Fort Jr., and Drucilla Stovall Jones, Midland Texas, 1970 is subtitled 'The Descendants of Elias Fort of Virginia' and provides much information about George's granddaughter Sarah SUGG Fort, wife of Elias Fort George SUGG 1665 Norfolk County, VI abt 1690 Norfolk County, VA to Sarah IVES, d/o Timothy IVES and Elizabeth HARLE. 1734 Norfolk County,VA put together by Scott Trimble, 14 March 1995 In the following transcript of George SUGG's will, the '/' shows that the letters following the slash were superscripted above the rest. For Example: Tho/s = Tho = Thomas The dates appear to be mixed up since the will was proved before it was wr itten. That is the way it appeared in the book and I have seen that error it other works. I have not seen a copy of the actual handwritten will so do not know whether or not someone just interpreted the numbers wrong. WILL: George SUGG's will appears in 'Norfolk County Wills 1710-1753', by Charles Fleming McINTOSH. The will is from Book 12, page 77. It was dated 2 Sep 1734 and proved 21 Feb 1734, 'by all the witnesses & Acquilla SUGGS one of the Ex/rs... othe r... refused... unto my Son Thomas Seventy Acres of Land be in more or less bounding as follows to Witt begining at a marked OakStanding by the Line that bounds the s/d Land...
