Will - of Fannie W. Tinsley, Rec. W. B. No. 18 P.267
Frances 'Fannie' William Gaines Tinsley.

 

Oct. 28, 1916

 

I, Fannie W. Tinsley, of Richmond, Virginia, do make this as, and for my last will and testament, hereby revoking all wills heretofore made by me.
Item 1.      I direct that all my just debts be paid.
Item 2.      I give my daughter Jennie G. Tinsley to have only during her life, or so long as she may remain unmarried, sixty shares of stock of the par value of $25 each of the Norfolk Railway and Light Company, and at the death of my daughter, or at her marriage, whichever may happen first, I direct that the said sixty shares of stock form a part of my residue of my estate and pass as there provided.
Item 3.      All the rest and residue of my property of every kind and character, I direct shall pass to and be divided, share and share alike, among my children, Jennie included, then living, and the issue of any that may be dead such issue to take the part the deceased parent would have taken if alive, in this class I provide to the effect that my grandson, Seaton Tinsley Preston, shall take the share his deceased mother, Hattie B. Preston, would take, if alive, but, I have advanced to Seaton Tinsley Preston the sum of Nine Hundred Dollars, and this sum so advanced to him shall be brought in hotchpot with my estate, and, if my estate in division shall not be sufficient to make the share of Seaton Preston as much as the amount advanced to him, he shall not be required to refund to my estate any part of the amount advanced to him. I have given to my daughter Jennie G. Tinsley in my life certain property, I expressly direct that no part of the property previously given to her by me shall be treated as an advancement to her; it is my will that it be hers absolutely and independently of her share and interest under this will, as fully as if the property so given her were a specified legacy to her under this will; in other words, she shall have the property previously given to her in addition to the share and property given her herein.
Item 4.      Names William T. Tinsley and Justin K. Anderson as Executors.
Will dated October 28th, 1916.

 

                              Signed Fannie W. Tinsley

Witnessed by B. P. Alsop
and Martha T. Alsop.

This will is of interest because some genealogy records show the date of Fannie's death as January 1891. This will is dated 1916 and her account of Civil War Experiences, Mrs. Seaton G. (Grantland) Tinsley, was dated 1912.
