Our transcription of William Grayson's will follows:

I William Grayson of the County of Albemarle and State of Virginia, being in good health and sound mind, being desirous to settle my worldly affairs before I go hence, do make this my last will and testament, revoking all other will or wills heretofore made.

My will is that after my death that all my just debts should be paid by my executor here in after named.

Item. I give and bequeath unto each of my son John Grayson’s children £5 apiece to be paid by my executor out of my estate. My reason for not naming my son John’s children in an equal division with the rest of my children is that I formerly paid money for my son that would fully make him equal with the rest of my children.

Item. I give and bequeath to my son Thomas Grayson’s children and his grandchildren an equal share of my estate with the rest of my children but the money to be continued in the hands of my executor or put to interest for them until they become of age or marry.

Item. My will is that all my estate of every description, both real and personal, be sold by my Executor and I invest in him full power to make titles to my land and the money to be equally divided between my children hereinafter named (except one chair, bed and furniture I give to my daughter Patsy Grayson) viz: Elizabeth Sutherland, Susannah Tomlin and the children and grandchildren of my son Thomas Grayson and my daughter, Patsy Grayson.

Lastly, I appoint my grandson, Joseph Sutherland, to be my Executor to this my last will and testament.

Witness whereunto I set my hand and seal this the 9th day of October 1828, and he signed and sealed William Grayson in the presence of John Field, Milton Wood, Charles A. Smith and George W. Kinsolving.2

Mother*Minnie Arminda Meads2 b. 29 Jan 1876, d. 14 Oct 1946
Birth*10 November 1911Bessie Mae Green was born on 10 November 1911 in Texas.1,3,4,5 
Research Notes*Bessie Mae Green and Bessie Mae Jordan were two separate people. Both were born in Texas within three years of each other, died three years apart, and several researchers have confused the two. Bessie Mae Green married Winters Hall Long about 1928; they remained in Texas and raised at least three children. Winters died in Texas in 1961, and his wife died in Texas in 1997.

The life of Bessie Mae Jordan, on the other hand, is not so straight forward. We believe she had nine husbands, and while we've identified two children, we suspect she may have had at least two more. We believe the surname of her first husband was LONG, which is how the confusion between these two Bessie Maes began, and we believe the surname of her last husband was COOPER. In between the first and last, the surnames of her husbands included, although may not have been limited to, FAHNHOLZ, whom she appears to have married twice, WILKINSON, GILSTRAP, PITTMAN, McCOY, HAMBY and FINNEY.6,2,7,1,8,9,10,11,12,13 
(Daughter) Census US 19208 January 1920Bessie Mae was enumerated on the 1920 census taken on 8 January 1920 in the household of her parents at 716 West 2nd Avenue, Corsicana, Navarro County, Texas. She was 8 years old and attending school.2 
Marriage*1928She married Winters H. Long, son of William Baty Long and Vera Lucille Wheeler, in 1928.1 
Census US 1930*9 April 1930Bessie Mae and Winters H. Long were enumerated on the 1930 census taken on 9 April 1930 at 1035 South 10th or 11th, Abilene, Taylor County, Texas. Winters was 21 years of age and worked as a hostler taking care of horses for the railroad's inn, and Bessie Mae was age 18. They had been ages 19 and 16, respectively, when they married, and rented their home for $18 a month. Their baby son, Henry A., was 9 months old. Strangely, the small family's enumeration record was split between two different pages, and were filmed two pages apart. Bessie Mae and baby Henry were recorded as the first entry (image# 23 of 47) of one page, and Winters was recorded two pages after his wife and son (image# 25 of 47) as the last entry of that page. Additionally, Winters's parents and siblings were enumerated as the first entry on the next page (image# 26 of 47.)4,5,14 
(Daughter-in-Law) Census US 194019 April 1940Bessie Mae was enumerated with her husband and two sons on the 1940 census taken on 19 April 1940 in the household of her husband's parents, Vera and W. Baty Long, at 1002 Elm Street, Abilene, Taylor County, Texas. Bessie Mae was 28 years of age and helped with the home housework. She had completed her education through the 2nd year of high school, had worked 22 weeks in 1939 for an income of $130. Her husband, Winters H., was 31 years of age and worked as a car foreman for a railroad company. He had completed his education through the 2nd year of high school, had worked 33 weeks in 1939 for an income of $980, and had been out of work for 39 weeks. The couple's two children, Henry A. and Jerry F., were ages 10 and 8 years, respectively, and were both attending school. Henry had completed the 4th grade of elementary school and Jerry had completed the 1st grade.7,15 
(Wife) Death26 December 1961Bessie became a widow when Winters H. Long died on 26 December 1961 at age 53.16,17 
Death*3 May 1997She was residing in Abilene when she died on 3 May 1997 in Taylor County, Texas, at age 851,6,18 
Burial* and was buried in the Garden of Peace section of Elmwood Memorial Park, Abilene, Taylor County, Texas.1

Census US 1860*2 July 1860Eliza A. and John A. Davis were enumerated on the 1860 census taken on 2 July 1860 near the Sand Run Post Office, Webster County, Virginia. John was 22 years of age and worked as a farmer. His place of birth was recorded as Jackson County, Virginia. Eliza was also recorded as 22 years of age, was a farmer's wife, and her place of birth was recorded as Nicholas County, Virginia. Their young daughter, Sarah E., was 2 years old and had been born in Upshur County.7 
Civil War (U.S.)*13 June 1861Her husband, John, enlisted on 13 June 1861 at Conrads, West Virginia, as a Private in Company B of the 9th Battalion Virginia Infantry, with William H. Mollohan as Captain. In 1862, his Company B became the 2nd Company G of the 25th Virginia Infantry, with many men from Braxton County and Webster County, West Virginia.

John was wounded in his right eye at the Battle of Gettysburg on 3 July 1863. He was captured and hospitalized on 27 July 1863 at the Camp Letterman General Hospital at Gettysburg. As a wounded prisoner of the Union and soldier of the Confederacy, he was moved from hospital to hospital several times. On 11 September 1863, he was hospitalized at the West's Buildings in Baltimore, Maryland, which operated as a Confederate prisoner hospital from July 1863 to February 1864; on 27 September 1863, he was exchanged at City Point, Virginia, and hospitalized on 28 September 1863 at Chimborazo Hospital, the largest military hospital in the Confederacy during the Civil War; on 7 October 1863, he was furloughed for 50 days to Lynchburg, Virginia and hospitalized in one of the city's many Lynchburg Confederate hospitals.8,9 
(Wife) Death6 November 1863Eliza became a widow with two young daughters when John A. Davis died of disease, likely from complications arising from his wound and imprisonment, on 6 November 1863 at about age 25.8,10 
Census US 1870*8 July 1870Eliza A. Davis was enumerated as the head of her household on the 1870 census taken on 8 July 1870 near the Braxton Court House Post Office, Franklin, Braxton County, West Virginia. She was a widow, 26 years of age, and keeping house. Four children were enumerated with her in 1870. Sarah and Mary Davis were ages 12 and 10 years, respectively, and Franklin and Alice, who were also recorded with the Davis surname, were 4 years and 1 year, respectively. In the next household above Eliza's, on the same census page, her widowed mother, Elizabeth (Cutlip) Green, was enumerated with Eliza's sister, Jemima Green.11,12 
(Sister) Death20 May 1875Her sister, Jemima Green, was brutally attacked and murdered on 20 May 1875 near Sutton, Braxton County, West Virginia, at about age 21.13 
(Sister) MurderThe savage murder of her sister produced, according to the newspapers, "a great deal of excitement." For at least four years after her murder, news articles covering her brutal killing, and the resulting multiple arrests and trials of the accused, were published in West Virginia newspapers. Some of the individuals mentioned in the news articles, as events developed, included Isaac Lewis Perkins, Samuel Ellis Perkins, David Wine, Elijah Perkins, Mariah Jane (Chapman) Hines, Isaac W. Hines, Sarah Jane Mollohan, Elizabeth (Rogers) Mollohan, William B. Young and Sarah Jane (Wine) Wine Williams. We've transcribed several of the news articles and placed them here with Jemima.14

She was 40 years of age, keeping house, and was recorded as single, although she was also a widow. Five children were enumerated with her in 1880. Mary Davis, a daughter with her deceased husband, John A. Davis, was recorded with the surname Green, which was her mother's maiden name. Mary was 20 years old. Eliza's other four children, all of whom were born several years after her husband's death, were also recorded with the surname Green. Alice and William were ages 11 and 8 years, respectively; Alex, who was recorded as "Ellick", was 2 years old, and baby Thomas was 8 months old. Eliza's eldest son, Lewis Franklin Green, may have been the young farm worker enumerated as Green Davis, in the household of John J. and Catherine Ellison in Monroe County, West Virginia.15
