Will of James League




Amelia County, Va. Will Book 8 page 120




 March  Court, 1813

     I James League, senior of the County of  Amelia being of sound mind 
and memory do make and ordain this to be my last will and testament.  It
is my will and desire that all my Estate both real and personal shall remain
in the possession of my wife Mary  Ann League during her life.  At the
decease of my said wife, my will is that the land on which I live shall 
descend to my son Joel League to him and his heirs forever.   All the 
residue of my estate I leave to be equally divided among my three 
following children, that is my son Joel League and my two daughters Lucy
and Rachel League except one feather bed and furniture which I bequeath
to my son Elisha League should said son Joel or either of my said daughters
die without heir before a division of my Estate is made, my will is that the 
property above willed to them be divided between the two survivors or that
it shall belong wholly to the survivor if but one of them shall then be 
living, the other two having died without heir.  My children hereafter named 
are to have no share in the distribution of my estate they having already 
received their full proportion that is Joshua Leauge, Joab League, Oney
Chapman, Drucilla Waddill and the children or heirs of Benjamin and 
George League, deceased.  I constitute and appoint my son, Joel 
League my Executor Intestimony where I have hereunto set my hand and 
affixed my seal this seventh day of March in the year of our Lord one 
thousand eight hundred and eight.

In presence of

James Lockett
John Lockett                                   James League  (seal)
Josiah Lockett                                         his mark
