Law & legal affairs - Virginia - Shenandoah County
Photograph of a hand-written page from what appears to be a Shenandooah County Will book. The page includes partial entries for two separate wills. At the top, it appears the will of John Hammon came before the court on January 13, 1806. Two witnesses, Peter Tucinger [sic] and George Shaver, and the executor, Samuel Walton, were mentioned. Walton entered into "bond with Jacob Emshwiller [sic] and John Walton his securities in the penalty of three thousand dollars conditional as the law directs." The lower half of the page is the beginning of the last will and testament of Christian Crabil. He directs that his son, Abraham Crabil, receive "part of my tract of land" located on the Narrow Passage Creek. The land was originally granted to Christian by Lord Fairfax of the Northern Neck of Virginia on 20 September 1768. The rest of the paragraph details the boundaries of this land being bequeathed to his son.
