PRIDY MEEKS RICHARD X ATTERBERRY
ROBERT W. DORSEY MARK

At a County Court began and held for Hardin County at the Courthouse in Elizabeth Town on Monday the 13th day of July 1813 The within instrument of writing purpointing to be the last will and testament of Richard Atterbury deceased was produced in court and proven by the Oaths of Priday Meeks and laid over for further proof and afterward at a County Court began and held on the ninth day of August 1813 the within was fully proven by the Oath of Robert W.Dorsey to be the last will and testament of said Atterbury and ordered to be recorded. Attest Ben Helm

"Hardin County Court Order Book 1812-1819" Book C

Monday, May 10, 1813 - page 78
Ordered that a summons issue directed to Grayson County against Thomas Atturbury and a summons to this County against Rezin Blissit, Benjamin Meeks, and William Watkins commanding them to appear here on the first of nex July term to show cause if any they can why the administration of the estate of Richard Atturbury should be taken from them.
Monday, July 12, 1813 - page 86
The last will and testament of Richard Atterbury was proven by the Oath of Pirdy Meeks and laid over for further proof and that a summons be issued for Robt. Dorsey, John Wright to prove said will.
Monday, August 9, 1813 - page 94
The last will and testament of Richard Atturbury deceased was fully proven by the Oath of Robt. W. Dorsey a subscribing witness there to and sworn to by Charles Atturbury and Richard Atturbury the Executors named in the said will who took it upon themselves the Execution thereof whereupon they entered proof and acknowledged their bond with Reason Blissitt their securities in the penalty of six hundred dollars conditioned as the law directs they having taken the Oath required by law....Fees paid $1.50

Richard and Rebecca are said to have had 14 children, only part of them have been proven.
The 1790 Census shows 3 sons under 16 years and 3 daughters born before 1790. I cannot account for the daughters except that through association Anna Blissett, wife of Reason Blissett, seems to fit in with this family. The following facts seem to indicate that she was probably the daughter of Richard and Rebecca:
The Atterberrys and the Blissetts went from Chester CO. SC to Hardin CO. KY to Wayne CO. Illinois together..It is hard to believe that someplace along the way that the families did not intermarry somewhere.
Reason Blissett was mentioned in the administration of Richard Atterberry's will and was security on the executors bond. This suggests that he was probably Richard's son-in-law.
When Reason died in 1819, Wayne CO. IL and left Anna Blissett stranded in the wilderness with small children why didn't she return to KY with George J. Blissett, Reason's brother? Families usually stuck together, especially a widow with small children. If the Blissetts were her in-laws, she would have wanted to stay with her own family, the Atterberrys.

Reason Blissett was one of those summoned 10 May 1813 to appear to show cause why the administration of Richar Atterbury's estate should not be taken from them.
Richard's estate was proven in court on 12 July 1813

Reason Blissett was security on the executor's bond...This suggests that he was pobably Richard's son-in-law.

The name Reason is used in the Atterbury family.

Children of RICHARD ATTERBERRY and REBECCA BENNETT are:

CHARLES³ ATTERBERRY, d. Unknown; m. SALLY COLLARD, March 05, 1822, White CO. IL; d. Unknown.

Notes for CHARLES ATTERBERRY:
Charles is not a proven son of Richard and Rebecca.
Richard seems to be the only Atteberry that could have been his father. I have no proof at this time.

Charles and Sally were married by David Sharp, MG

There is a Charles H. Attebury buried in the Carmi Garden of Memories, 4 miles west of Carmi, IL. (Possibly this Charles?)

23.	iii.	THOMAS H. "JOCKEY TOM" ATTERBERRY, b. August 04, 1783, SC; d. August 14, 1855, Macon CO. IL.
	iv.	REBECCA ATTERBERRY, b. Abt. 1785; d. Unknown; m. BENJAMIN MEEKS, February 03, 1806; d. Unknown.

Notes for REBECCA ATTERBERRY:
Rebecca is listed as a daughter of Richard Atterberry in the Atterberry book, but her marriage record dated 3 Feb 1806 to Benjamin Meeks shows her as Miss Rebecca Meeks. She may have married an Atterberry. The proof for her is very light, but will include her as a child of Richard until further research proves one way or the other.
