In 1832 or 1833, orator Thomas William Micou stated that his aunt Stella Matthews died in 1832. Her will made a bequest to Wiliam F. Micou, but this was a mistake. Your orator was raised by her, having lost his mother at 6 or 7 months. [Essex County, Virginia, Box Chancery No. 46, item 46-G-24.]
On 4 May 1833, James R. Micou provided an affidavit in the case of Micou vs. Micou.

His mother died while he was an infant and he was raised by his aunt Stella Micou, with whom he was always a favorite. That William F. Micou died some years before the will of Stella Matthews was executed, that he was not relative whatsoever to Stella Matthews, and that so far as he knows, or believes, there was no such person in existence at the time the said will was written. [Essex County, Virginia, Box Chancery No. 46, item 46-G-13.]
