bullet  Notes:

Edward witnessed a will on 9 October 1685 at Accomack Co, VA. It was on this date that Edward Revell, Charles Fleetwood & John Kellam witnessed the will of John Jenkins.

He made a will on 6 October 1686 at Accomack Co, VA. To Frances Custis, daughter of Henry Custis & Rachell, his wife, silver tankard stamped with H.Y. To daughter Rebeca Revell planta at Nickawamson containing 500 acres, pewter marked R.R. To son John Revell land at Pungoteague. Should Rebeca & John die without issue the land at Nickawamson to Elizabeth Custis, daughter of Henry Custis, & estate at Pungoteague to Frances Custis, daughter of Henry Custis. To Dorothy Washbourne. Wife to have her maintenance on the plantation at Pungoteague during her widowhood. Son John Ex'r. (wife Frances) Witt: John Washbourne, John Fenn, Daniel Ograhan, Jr. According to Whitelaw, Edward Revell (wife Frances) lived at tract A52B and in 1687 left his 500 acres to his daughter Rebecca, who married Robert Coleburn, but he did not live long. In 1699 Rebecca Coleburn, widow, discovered a surplus of 100 acres in her land, so she took out a patent for it as a narrow strip along the Jackson part. She gave the 100 acres to her daughter Rebecca, who married Edward Revell II. In 1728 they gave to William Coleburn and in 1752 he (wife Temperance) left to his son Spencer under certain conditions, otherwise it was to go to his son William. The records following are not clear, and it is believed that Spencer retained the land, but in 1778 he died intestate and no record was found of his wife or children. Then in 1788 a Revell Coleburn sold 100 acres which had been left to him by his father (no record found). The buyer was Zorobabel Kellam, whose daughter Sabra married Thomas Coleburn.
