He married Mary ________. His children moved to Ohio and Illinois.

Will Book 5, page 175 of the Essex Co. Records, we find an account of the administration of the estate of William Halbert/Halbard. (both spellings appear in the document). Joel Halbert is the administrator. "If it does hereafter appear that any last will and testament was made by the said dec'd. the exect's therein named doe exhibit ye same unto ye said court making request to have it allowed and approved accordingly, i the said Joel, being thereunto required do render and deliver up his letters of administration, approbation of suits, and c. 19th Febr. 1733"

In the same book is found an itemization of the estate, furniture, cattle, etc. Since no will was found and no children were named in the administration papers of William Halbert's estate, our supposition is, that this William and Joel were brothers. William was a family name in Joel Halbert's family, as well as in the Halbert family. Joel had a son, William, who moved to SC after the Revolution. It seems probable, therefore, that the William whose estate had been administered by Joel Halbert was the father of the William Halbert whose will was proved in Essex Co., VA in 1761. In this will, the name was spelled Halbert, Halbart, and Halbard, as in the old papers of administration of 1713. To his son, James, he gives the plantation on which he lives; to his wife, Mary, all his personal estate until her death or marriage. After her decease, it is to be equally divided between his daughters, Hannah Newman, Frances, Patty, Ann, Elizabeth and his son, William Halbert.
