ABSTRACT OF LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT
Compiler: David Earl Athey
County: Hampshire
State: Virginia
Will Book: Vol. 1 - 22
Page: 146
Court/Repository: Hampshire County Court House, Romney, WV
Executor: Henry Smith
Date signed: 20 February 1826
Date proved: 16 October 1826
Signature: Thomas Athey
Witnesses: William [his mark X] Tanney, Samuel Davis, Reuben Davis
Bequests, Devises, etc.: 1. Perishable estate should be sold to
satisfy debts and funeral expenses. 2. Any surplus should not be sold,
but remain in the hands of wife, Martha, for the support of minor
children, Samuel, Nancy, Martha, and Joseph until they reach the age of
twenty-one. 3. After the above stated children arrive at the age of
twenty-one, all land should be sold and the money arising from such sale
to be equally divided between all surviving children; Sarah, Elizabeth,
Walter, Thomas, Emma, Susan, Verlinda, Mary, Samuel, Nancy, Martha, and
Joseph.
Codicil: Wife, Martha, should she live and remain in widowhood till the
time shall come when the land is sold, should have an equal part of the
money arising from the sale, that is to say, a child’s part.
Note: I believe that Martha had a prior agreement with Reuben Davis, cousin
of Thomas Athey, because Martha sold her dower rights to Reuben on 15 March
1830, and there is a report on the dower rights of Martha recorded in Will
Book 9, p. 257 on 22 March 1830. Reuben Davis also bought Thomas' son Walter
Athey's land interests on 30 July 1830. In 1833, Henry Smith, the executor,
leased the lands to Reuben Davis. Joseph Davis was the highest bidder when
the lands were finally auctioned on 12 February, 1845. (I suppose when the
proceeds were divided, Martha received her 1/13th share in addition to her
dower rights which had already been paid.)
