Barnett Moore's Estate, Fredericksburg. £29.3.3, Fredericksburg Store. This must be intended
for Bernard Moore who died in King William County some time before the war, universally considered insolvent. He was executor for the estate of Col. John Spotswood who died near fredericksburg and it is probable that while he was there transacting the business of the estate
this debt was contracted. He left some valuable lands but these were entailed on his eldest issue male and, of course, at his death they ceased to be part of his estate. Every slave and every other species of personal property of which he died possessed was sold before the war for the purpose of pay ing his debts and his widow would have been left entirely destitute had not her sons-in-law Charles Carter, Esq., of Shirley, and Col. John Walker of Albemarle (who are very rich) purchased
a considerable quantity of the estate and given it to her.
Mrs. Mary Lewis of Albemarle County is sister to Col. John Walker.
