Will of Wiley Grimes


October 28, 1866

I, Wiley Grimes being aware of the uncertainty of life and the certainty of 
death and feeling it my duty to provide for my family after my death,  I being 
of sound mind and disposing memory do make this my last will and testament.

To my first wife’s children, J.A. Grimes, John C. Grimes, Edward C. Grimes and 
Elizabeth Grimes Ptomey, I have advanced the amount of fifteen hundred dollars 
of property to each at or about the time of their marriages. I further 
bequeath to J. A. Grimes, John C. Grimes and Elizabeth Ptomey the sum of five 
dollars each at my death.

To my beloved wife I give and bequeath the use of my entire property, 
personal, real and mixed to support and educate her children during her 
widowhood, to hold and control without giving bond to the court for the same

But should she remarry I wish the property after she takes her dower out to be 
equally divided between my six last children namely Wiley J. Grimes, Thomas J. 
Grimes, William H. Grimes, Mary F. Grimes, Stephen D. Grimes and Robert L. 
Grimes and if my wife should have any more children to me I wish these to 
share and share alike with my six last children. 
In witness I hereunto set my hand and seal this day and date first above named.


Attest – R. C. Davidson				Wiley Grimes 
E.D. Harris
