VIRGINIA ELIZABETH COMBS BRADSHAW WILL - 1909 - Prince William Co., VA

VIRGINIA ELIZABETH COMBS BRADSHAW died on Oct. 21, 1909.  This
transcription is from my copy of her will which is on file in w.b.
X-pg.32 in Prince William County, Manassas, Va.
 
     By the help of our Heavenly Father I will try to make this my last
will and testament; being of sound mind; so to dear husband T.S. BRADSHAW, I
will and bequeath all my earthly possessions, the farm called Sunnyside,
also the house in Brentsville.  
     I request my husband will provide for our only son at his (T.S.B.)
death and my sons child PHILIP or children, also my son W.W. HORE, having
a home with them, and all to continue at this home in love and peace,
should my dear husband have opportunity to sell; he will provide for my son,
and will fix matters so my son and his child or children be provided for at
his death.  The little things about the house Maggie wishes she shall have;
my watch and chain I leave to her also, my small mantle clock; my dresses I
wish her and Ada to take what they wish, dispose of the rest as they
please, candlesticks-I did purchase with money from my mothers estate, I
leave them to both- I do not wish MILLY WOOLFORD forgotten.  I wish her
to have my plush or seal skin coat, and some of my clothes.  Do not fail to
keep your promise to provide for our boy. PHILIPs little cow Daisy he is
to have.  God bless each one- written this day August 23rd 1909, the breast
pin with KENRICKs picture in it is his.
