    • Will of Joel Meador, 1774 Amelia County, Virginia Will Book 2, Page 221 Probated May 1777

      In the name of God, Amen; I, Joel Meador of the County of Amelia in the Parish of Raleigh, being very weak and ancient, doth make this my last will and testament. First, I give my soul to Almight God who first gave it to me, and my body to be buried decently at the discretion of my executors, and my worldly estate which the Almighty bestowed on me I give and bequeath unto my beloved wife and her two sons, Archer Meador and Anderson Meador, if that my wife shall abide by this, my last will and testament. If she shall refuse to do so and object to same, the land I assigned to my wife and children, Archer and Anderson, bounded as follows: Beginning at Joshua Rucker's line at a beach and running up to the mouth of John Harris's spring branch, then up Henry Meador ('s) branch to a black gum and along said Henry's line to Jonah (Reynold's?) line along said line to a Spanish oak; then along a new line to a poplar, then along a dividing line I have already made to Joh Gill's line to a red oak; then along the said Gill's line to Samuel Cobb's line to Joshua Rucker's line, and along said line to the beginning. I give and bequeath unto the children I had by my first wife five shillings each. My will and desire is that my wife Agness shall enjoy the rest of my estate during her natural life or widowhood, and if that she shall marry, it is my will and desire that my said estate already lent to my beloved wife be equally divided amongst my wife and the four children I had by her, Archer, Anderson, Patty, and Nancy, and or my sons Archer and Anderson to have two years schooling each. I constitute and appoint my friend Francis Anderson and my son Joel Meador executors of this my last will and testament, revoking all former will by me already made. Witness my hand and seal this 23rd day of September, 1774. Published and declared before us: Joel Meador (SEAL) William Ford Thomas Ellis William Ford, Jr.
