Will Abstract

From Chalkley’s Augusta County Records:

• Page 84.--1st October, 1793. Thos. Poage's will, Jr.--To wife, Jean, 1/2 mill plantation on Falling Spring, which 1/2 was willed to testator by his father; to brother, John. Executors, Rev. John Campbell and brother, John Poage. Teste: Alex. Humphreys, Richard Trother (Strother?), Philip Sholl. Proved, January Court, 1794, by Stother and Sholl. Executors qualify; 3d October, 1793, John Poage, legatee above, relinquishes to widow Jean all claim under the will to any property which came to Thomas through the widow Jean, who was Jane Watkins.

• Page 152.--15th March, 1794. Thomas Poage, Jr.'s, estate appraised in Charlotte County by Richard Ganes, Jr., Wm. Penticost, Thos. Rice; 16th June, 1794, appraised in Rockbridge County by William Graham, William McKee, William Lyle. [Note: the "Jr." in Thomas Poage's listing does not necessarily mean that his father's name was also Thomas. In colonial times, the term "Jr.' was also used to differentiate between two persons with the same name of different ages, not necessarily to define a "father-son" relationship].
