    Name: William Spiller
    Gender: Male
    Military Place: Virginia
    State or Army Served: Virginia
    Regiment: Regiment of Artillery under the command of Col. Thomas Marshall
    Rank: Capt
    Date of Commission, 12 Apr 1780
    -------------------

    He served as a Captain of a Virginia State Regiment in the Revolution from 1778 to 1781. In 1780, his commanding officer, Colonel George Muter, sent Thomas Jefferson a letter saying, "Capt: Spiller was despatched to save the arms in Isle of Wyght and Southampton." The following January, Spiller was sent to Petersburg, Virginia for the purpose of "removing the arms and Stores at Petersburg, the powder at the Powder Mills and at Manchester." A Colonel Carrington complained about the manner in which William Spiller handled that assignment, prompting Capt. Spiller to write a letter, dated January 18, 1781, to Col. Muter, resigning that post. A portion of this letter follows:

    "I set out from this place about 12 o-clock or after, my orders was to proceed to Chesterfield Court house, to call on Col: Davies for his assistance, and from thence to Petersburg, it was after dark before I arrived at Petersberg. I went immediately to the Quarter Masters? office (he having previous notice from Col Muter to prepare waggons for the removal of the Stores) and enquired for him, was told by his assistant that he was gorn (sic) home. I then enquired if he had left no orders to prepare waggons for removing of the Stores, the man informed he had ordered him to impress all the waggons that he could find, he had accordingly (as he said) imprest several, but having no guard, they had gorn off. That he had sent several men different ways to stop the sd waggons. I desired him to send for Mr Elliott, the Q. Master at that station, informing him that I was waiting for waggons to remove the Stores, he immediately sent off a Servant to Mr Elliott. I then told him I should go to a tavern near, & desired him to send for me when the Q. Master or the waggons come to the office. Having rode a horse that nearly gave out before I got to Petersburg I was greatly fatigu?d. When I got to the above mentioned tavern I went to a bed and lay down, and fell asleep and probably slept two or three hours, when I awoke I went to the office. Col: Carrington was there, and had sent off several waggons loaded with stores. I met the sd waggons as I went to the office. Col. Carrington told me he should inform against me. I told him he was very welcome to do so. He then gave me orders that he had received from you, to proceed to the Countys of Isle White (sic) & South Hamton: which I did & rode the whole night. Thus Sir, you have all the circumstances relative to that business that I can remember. The informer (which I suppose to be Col. Carrington) is much mistaken about the time of my geting to Petersburg. I was there before him.?
    ?The post I now hold as Commissary of Military Stores seems to have many directors, more than one man can possibly please. I therefore from this moment resign the said post.?
    ? I am with much Esteem Sir,
    Your most Ob? & very humble servant."

    William?s resignation as Commissary of Military Stores was accepted by Thomas Jefferson on the 20th of January. He did not, however, leave the service of his country until 1781.
    ------------------

    He was listed on the land tax records in 1782 in King William County with 265 acres. Additionally, he paid tax on nine slaves and one poll tax.

    William signed a petition, dated 6 June 1783, from the citizens of Hanover Co. to deny citizenship to Tories, or those who had supported the British Crown.

    By 1787, William?s property in King William had increased to 473 acres. He paid a tithe on just himself, so we know that he had no children over the age of sixteen. He had fifteen slaves, eight horses, and twenty-two cattle.

    In 1790, William Spiller petitioned the House of Delegates "setting forth, that he was a commissary of stores during the late war, and hath received for his services a general warrant on the treasury not payable out of any particular fund; and praying that provision may be made for the payment thereof." The Delegates decided that was a reasonable petition and said his warrant should be paid out of the aggregate fund.

    Hening?s The Statutes at Large contains a reference to William Spiller involving a deceased free negro man named Preamble who had been a resident of King William County. Preamble left the management of his estate to William Spiller, asking him to purchase and emancipate Abraham, a slave belonging to Benjamin Temple. Abraham was Preamble?s son. Spiller had purchased Abraham and then had to petition the Assemble to pass a law authorising his emancipation. The law stated, ?That the said negro man slave Abraham, shall be free in as full and ample a manner, as if he had been born free.?

    In 1797 William owned fourteen slaves himself. Perhaps, like Thomas Jefferson, he was as conflicted about the issue of slavery; knowing it to be wrong and yet not knowing how to survive without it.

    April 22. Judge Nicholas delivered the Opinion of the Court.

    In March, 1797, William Spiller, a citizen of Virginia made his will whereby he devised to each of his four then children, a tract of land, by name; gives to his wife, in the event of her marrying again, a tract of three hundred acres in Kentucky, some furniture, and one fifth part of his stock; and lends her, during life, certain slaves; but in case she did not marry, it was his desire that his estate should be kept together, for the support of her and all his children, until they successively attained twenty one years, or married, "when I wish all my slaves (except the one given to my daughter Mary) may be equally divided among them and my wife, allotting her an equal proportion with each of them." And so on, as they successively attained twenty one, or married; "and the part allotted my wife is to be equally divided, at her death, among all my children. All my property not specifically devised, as also what I have lent to my wife, I design, may be equally divided among all my children, at her death."

    "In 1799, George A. Spiller, a son of the testator, was born, and in 1800, the testator died. Among the tracts so devised, was one in Kentucky, to B. C. Spiller, who having sold and conveyed to sundry persons, this suit in chancery was brought, by George A. Spiller, against them, asserting claim to a portion thereof, as a pretermitted child of the testator . . ." The upshot of this case was that George was indeed entitled to his share in his father?s estate and one-fifth of what his brother B. C. Spiller had inherited and sold.

    Virginia Soldiers of 1776 which reads: "4 Apl. 1831. The heirs all?d Land Bounty for 1 years service in addition to what had been heretofore allowed, for William Spiller?s service as a Captain in the Virginia State Line. John Floyd, King William County, 22 Nov 1833 certified that William H., Collins C. and George H. Spiller are the only surviving and legal heirs of William Spiller, deceased."

    COURT RECORDS

    In January of 1774 Benjamin C. Spiller, Reuben Wright, Reuben Turner, and William Aylett took out a bond payable to Robert M'Kendlish. In 1793 a lawsuit that was brought against Spiller, Reuben Wright, and Reuben Turner in 1793 in the District Court of King and Queen County by Archibald M?Call to whom the said bond had been endorsed. ?The writ was executed by the Sheriff of King William County, on Turner only, and Spiller and Wright were returned "no inhabitants" and William Aylett was deceased. This suit ended with only Reuben Turner brought to court but is mentioned here because the January 1774 date is the earliest mention found for Benjamin C. Spiller of King William County, Virginia.

    In March, 1797, William Spiller, a citizen of Virginia made his will whereby he devised to each of his four then children, a tract of land, by name; gives to his wife, in the event of her marrying again, a tract of three hundred acres in Kentucky, some furniture, and one fifth part of his stock; and lends her, during life, certain slaves; but in case she did not marry, it was his desire that his estate should be kept together, for the support of her and all his children, until they successively attained twenty one years, or married, "when I wish all my slaves (except the one given to my daughter Mary) may be equally divided among them and my wife, allotting her an equal proportion with each of them." And so on, as they successively attained twenty one, or married; "and the part allotted my wife is to be equally divided, at her death, among all my children. All my property not specifically devised, as also what I have lent to my wife, I design, may be equally divided among all my children, at her death."

    "In 1799, George A. Spiller, a son of the testator, was born, and in 1800, the testator died. Among the tracts so devised, was one in Kentucky, to B. C. Spiller, who having sold and conveyed to sundry persons, this suit in chancery was brought, by George A. Spiller, against them, asserting claim to a portion thereof, as a pretermitted child of the testator . . ." The upshot of this case was that George was indeed entitled to his share in his father?s estate and one-fifth of what his brother B. C. Spiller had inherited and sold.
