Will of Jarvis Dougherty
Made July 11, 1812; Proved March 7, 1814
Will Book H, pg 508
Shenandoah Co., Va

In the name of God Amen, I Gervis Dougherty of Shenandoah County and state 
of Virginia being well in body and of perfect mind and memory, blessed be to 
God for the same and calling to mind the mortality of this life, I recommend 
the same into the hands of God who gave it and my body I recommend to the 
earth to be buried in christian manner at the discretion of my Executors 
hereinafter named, and as touching such worldly goods which it hath pleased 
God to bless me with in this life, I give and dispose of in the following 
manner: viz

1st, It is my will and desire, that all my just debts and funeral charges be 
paid by my Executors and the moveable Estate that I shall die possessed of 
to be sold at public sale, and the money arising from such sale to be 
equally divided among my eight children hereinafter mentioned viz: Wm. 
Dougherty, Sarah Darkins, Phebe Postle, John Dougherty, Elijah Dougherty, 
Abraham Dougherty, Mary Dougherty and Elizabeth Anderson.

To them and their heirs forever, and as my son William Dougherty has not 
received anything of me as yet it is my will and desire that first of all he 
be made equal with his brothers and sisters as the receipts they have given 
will signify, how much each child has received, as it is my desire that all 
my said children share an equal part of my estate and after all my said 
children have been made equal, then it is my will and desire that what bonds 
and notes that remain, not discharged, be collected by my executors, and 
what money shall be in the hands of my executors, that the said balance of 
my estate, after all my eight aforementioned children shall be made equal 
equally divided among my eight children aforementioned, to them and their 
heirs forever.

And lastly, I constitute and appoint David Mintorf and Frederick Mintorf 
Executors of this my last will and testament, ratifying and confirming this 
to be my last will and testament.

In Witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal this 11th day of 
July in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and twelve.

Gervis X Dougherty
