Will of John C. Barbee
PWCo Will Book Q, pt. 171-172
I John C. Barbee being of sound mind and memory but am aware of the uncertainty of life and certainty of death am desirous of arranging such worldly effect as God has blessed me with in the following order.
To Wit, I give and bequeath to my brothers Andrew D. Wroe and James M. Barbee and my sister Elizabeth W. Barbee and Mary C. Barbee my boy Henry and all my right, lotte [?] and interest in boy Marshall; but should any or either of said distributees die without a child, said property is to go to the survivors, but my Mother is to have the use and benefit of Henry during her natural life but in no wise or respect is the boy Henry to be under the control or management of my Father. My brothers are to have my wearing apparel, my nephew and Andrew C. Wroe is to have my watch, my mother and sisters Elizabeth W. Barbee and Mary C. Barbee is to have all my money after paying all necessary expenses. My sister Elizabeth W. Barbee is to have my trunk. I hereby constitute and appoint Andrew D.
