11. Bridgar HAYNIE I was born in Northumberland County, Virginia and he died on 2 Sep 1740 in St. Stephen's Parish, Northumberland County, Virginia. Bridgar was listed in his fathers will of 31 October 1724. It is believed that Bridgar married late and died young. His father left him: "land on the right hand of the road as you go down from the Courthouse, . . .". Because his brother, John Haynie, Jr., died without a will, Bridgar fell heir to a share of his father's estate in Essex County which he subsequently willed to his brother's son, William.
At the time Bridgar's will was written, he had four sons; Bridgar Haynie II, and three un-named minor sons; and he was concerned about the care of his minor sons should his wife die or remarry. The will also names a cousin, William Haynie (son of Bridgar's brother, John Haynie, Jr.), and two brothers: John and Maximillion.
Bridgar's will was recorded in Northumberland County, Virginia Records, page 101:

Haynie, Bridgar, of St. Stephens Parish
Will Written: 1 June 1739; Will Probated 18 October 1740.
Wife Mary Haynie: all my land on the southside of the road, and to dispose of as she thinks fit.
Son Bridgar Haynie: all my land on the northside of the road, the plantation where I now live.
Cousin William Haynie, administrator of John Haynie (dec'd): all my rights in a piece of land in Essex County on the southside of Rappahannock River.
If my son Bridgar or any of my sons should have no heirs at the time of their death, the land given my son Bridgar not being disposed of by him or any other of my sons, then I give the said land to the heir at law which descends either from my brother John or my brother Maximillion Haynie, which shall be called by the name of Bridgar Haynie.
Care of my three sons to Captain Daniel McCarty to see to their bringing up in case my wife should die or marry, and desire that Capt McCarty should sell the land given to my wife Mary Haynie and the land bequethed to my son Bridgar, in case he sees it will be for their benefit.
Friend Capt. Daniel McCarty, executor.
Estate not to be appraised.
