Benjamin Lively [7]

  General Notes:

According to Livelys of America (NALF): Benjamin Lively resided on Buck Island Creek in Albemarle County, Virginia. From 1782 to 1794 he paid taxes on 312 acres and from 1795 to 1806 on 312 acres plus an additional 400 acres. The 312 acres presumably came partly from the estate of Mark Lively. The 400 acre tract was purchased from Zachary Taliaferro on 13 Feb 1794. It was adjacent to Mark Lively's line near the south side of Buck Island Creek and by Martin King's Road. Personal property taxes were paid by Benjamin from 1782 to 1806. Benjamin made his will giving his wife a life estate, after which sons Mark and Cannon would split the property.
