SR causes a problem for some researchers but others explain that, perhaps, as
he was much older than the other children of FREDERICK FOY, SR who are
mentioned in the will, he had already received his inheritance from his father.

It is also pointed out that in 1804 FREDERICK FOY, JR received a great deal
of property from his uncle, AMOS SIMMONS. AMOS was the brother of
FREDERICK FOY, JR’s mother whose maiden name was SIMMONS. It is
thought that FREDERICK FOY, SR may have felt that the SIMMONS
inheritance received by FREDERICK FOY, JR was ample for all of
FREDERICK JR’s needs.

In his will dated November 25, 1804 AMOS SIMMONS gave to FREDERICK
FOY, JR and to EDWARD MUMFORD all his land in Craven County.
SIMMONs specified in his will that if by some chance EDWARD MUMFORD
died without leaving any lawful issue his part of the land was to go to
FREDERICK FOY, JR. [Note the frequent use of the term “lawful issue” in wills

of that day.]

There are several records of FREDERICK FOY, JR buying and selling land in
Craven County.

On October 20, 1806 he bought a “plantation of land on the North side of the
Neuse River” from JAMES McKINLEY

On April 24, 1809 he sold for one hundred thirty pounds some fifty two and one
half acres of the land he had received from AMOS SIMMONS to a JOSEPH
HATCH of Jones County.

Two years later , June 11, 1811, he purchased from EDWARD MUMFORD for
$1,000.00 some of the land EDWARD had received from AMOS SIMMONS,
said land being located on the North side of the Trent River.

On January 18, 1814 FREDERICK FOY, JR sold 800 acres of land on the North
side of the Trent River to JACOB DUDLEY, of Jones County, for $4,000.00.

On August 9, 1814 JAMES and ELIZABETH HARGET transfered all their
interest in the FREDERICK HARGET estate to FREDERICK FOY, JR.
