From the compiled will records of Amherst County, VA by Rev. Bailey Davis:
WILL:
Book 10, page 348 which states his
will was written 22 June 1838 and probated on 17 May 1841. It states: "My
ux (wife), lands on south side of road to Lunchburg (sp) to Muster Spring;
daughter, Frances Palmore and heirs; sons, Elihu, Jesse (your ancestor?),
John Reuben and heirs; daughter Ann Beck and heirs; son, James and heirs,
daughter Lucy Terry and heirs; granddaughter Lucy Lain, grandchildren:
Richard and Mary Anderson, children of deceased daughter; daughter Susannah
Anderson, and heirs. Executor: Friend, Jesse Mundy from Book 10, Page 360
-- Inventory -- 550 acres at $6,265.50; order of May, 1841, Daniel Day,
Nichl, Guthrie, Thos. Hutcheson. Recorded June 21, 1841.
Book 11, Page 30 -- Administrator's Account --Jesse Munday - from November

C. Beck; to Ann Beck, and account of Ann Beck Smith; legacy to Jesse Beck.

Beck, Wm Beck who married Lucy Beck, legatee; Sam'l Anderson's heirs.
Recorded November 15, 1841, Book 11, Page 336 -- refunding bond, March 21
1843 -- Jesse Beck, Jr., Wm J. Beck; Elihu Beck; John C. Beck and Wm Beck
to Jessey Mundy, administrator for Jesse Beck, for Jesse Beck, Jr. who has
received legacy. Receipt below is hard to decipher for it appears to be
signed by Sue Beck, but will shows that only one by that name mentioned is
dead." (states further on that Reuben bought a slave on October 20,
1847--apparently utilizing some of his inheritance?)
SOME OF HIS SONS MOVED TO KENTUCKY/TENNESSEE BECAUSE OF FEDERAL LAND GRANTS GIVEN FOR JESSE'S SERVICE IN THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR. THE LAND CHANGED HANDS BETWEEN KY & TN..........PLUS COUNTY NAMES CHANGED SEVERAL TIMES.

BECK, JESSE.--Amherst, Aug. 21, 1832. Born in Albemarle, 1758. Prior to March, 1781, performed two terms of three months each in the Albemarle militia, guarding British prisoners. Was under Captain James Garland, who was killed by a sentinel at Albemarle Barracks. Was also under Capt. Hunton, or Capt. Montgomery. Col. Taylor, of Orange, was in charge. About March 1, 1781, under a draft of every fourteenth militiaman for 18 months, he became sergeant under Capt. Benjamin Harrison. The company made rendezvous in Hanover, where it was attached to the regiment under Col. Paddy and Maj. Finley. At Yorktown he saw the army of Cornwallis ground their arms. The regiment went into winter quarters at Old Cumberland C. H. In February, 1782, the corps was ordered into Southern Service and was in Georgia under Gen. Wayne, till November. Was discharged at Old Cumberland C. H., in December, 1782, after nearly 21 months' service instead of eighteen. Remembers that when drafted each man was paid a bounty of $4,000, which by reason of depreciation was of little value. While in Georgia the army under Wayne watched Savannah, where the British were waiting transports to carry them home. Wayne's headquarters and his own encampment were at Mulberry Grove, the property of a tory, which, after confiscation, was purchased by Gen. Wayne. [p.58]
