Facts and Events
Will of Jacob Schaub
- In the name of God, Amen. I, Jacob Schaub in Hampshire County and Colony of Virginia, am weak in body but sound in memory. I give my loving wife Barbara one mare branded with a 4/12 and a cow which she choseth and the grane that is in the stackyard, hemp, flax and wool and woolen yarn and a side-saddle and this shall be her own.
- Secondly I will to my wife all the money that is due to me and my black horse and all the beds and all the house and furniture and all the land except that which I give to my son Jacob. This I give her as long as she bears my name and if she bears my name no longer, than shall this all come to my heirs again except her third parts.
- Third. I give my son Jacob that piece of land which he now lives on and shall-be his own--beginning at a hickory...as the pon gows to a hickory saplin marked with three chops from thence to a black oak standing on the pon side. And all that is on the other side of the pon as far as my right goes. This I give to him and his heirs; this shall be his part of my estate and shall have no more to expect.
- The land which I have wild to my wife as long as she bears my name that shall come to my three sons, to wit, Rudulf and Martin and Abraham, to them and their heirs.... My children...the livestock shall be sold and equily divided among my children and my wife shall have her third part of it, Elizabeth and Clara and Barbara and Eve and Rudulf and Martin and Abraham and my son Jacob I do appoint to be my executor of my last will and testament.
- September 16th in the year of our Lord 1771.
- His (signed) Jacob "JS" Schaub (Seal)
