My cousin Pauline, who has so tirelessly worked on the family tree for years, keeps adding things onto the ancestry website that just bowl me over. This is the will of a great-great- (however many greats) grandfather who died in 1825.My guess is that he wasn't very proud of Phillip and Henry. I realize fifty cents was a lot more money back then, but still.
As always, click on the will to make it larger.
That's very interesting. I would love to ttrace our families back. Maybe one day I will...
ReplyDeletehee hee heeeee....50 cents. Those two boys musta done somethin' bad!
ReplyDeleteFifty cents sure wasn't much compared to 100 dollars was it. The will was very interesting to read. I wouldn't have thought they had a will of that sort back then, just a hand dritten one would have been my guess. Helen
ReplyDeleteVery interesting. Hope the cow was still alive and the bedding wasn't worn out.
