(Son-in-Law) Will15 June 1912Philip's father-in-law, James H. Spence, prepared his will on 15 June 1912 in Warrensburg, Johnson County, Missouri. He stated he was of sound mind and memory and directed that after his decease his estate shall be disposed of as follows:

He first directed that the expenses of his funeral and last sickness and all just debts shall be paid as soon as practicable.

Second, he gave and bequeathed to his beloved wife Martha J. Spence to be hers absolutely, all of his clothing, household goods, furniture, domestic tools and utensils and $500. He did not devise to her any real estate because, in lieu thereof, he had already caused his homestead, to wit Lots One and Two of J. H. Spence's Addition to the said city of Warrensburg, to be conveyed to her absolutely.

Third, he gave and devised to his beloved daughter, and only surviving child, Catherine Braden, wife of Philip Braden, of Nameoki, Madison County, Illinois, absolutely in fee simple, and as her sole and separate estate, the following real estate situate in said Johnson County, state of Missouri, to wit the north one-third of lots forty-seven (47) and forty-eight (48) in Benjamin W. Grover's Depot Addition to the said city of Warrensburg.

Fourth, he stated his only other child was his beloved son, John W. Spence, deceased, and that he had assisted him financially to procure the farm he owned and upon which he resided at the time of his death. Therefore, his will gave and devised nothing to his son's children or lineal descendants, stating his son left surviving him twelve children, and some of them have perhaps double Christian names, but in mentioning them here from memory only, he would use but one Christian name for each. Namely, John, William, Edgar, Gentry, James, Roxanna, Katie, Jewell, and Robert Spence and Laura Shadwick, Irene Shadwick and Lucy Perry (or Peary) (or Parry).

Fifth, if after all the provisions of the foregoing sections numbered One, Two and Three are carried into effect there should yet remain some of his estate, he gave and devised the same, whether real or personal, to his said daughter Catherine Braden.

Sixth, in order that the cash may be derived to carry out the provisions of said sections numbered First and Second, to defray the necessary expenses of administration, he authorized and empowered his executor (or administrator with this will annexed) to sell and convey any of his real estate, except that herein devised, at the best price he can obtain, and without first requiring any order of Court or appraisement.

Seventh, he nominated and appointed William Shockey to be the sole executor of his will.

James signed his will with his mark in the presence of witnesses, D.W. Clark and Philip S. Day.7

(Wife) Brick WallHarry Crawford of Braxton County, West Virginia, definitely qualifies as a serious Brick Wall. We have found only one record with his name on it, and we can't be sure it's even accurate. Sadly, here's all we know about him:

On the 1953 death certificate of Evalena Crawford, whose mother was Ida Roberta (Ashby) Crawford, Evalena's father's name was reported as Harry Crawford. The informant on the death certificate was Evalena's husband, Roy C. Stoner. He reported Evalena's mother's maiden name as Ida Roberta Crawford, which was both her stepfather's surname as well as her husband Harry's. Ida Roberta's maiden name was actually Ashby, the surname of her biological father, who was her mother's first husband. If Harry was the father of Evalena Crawford, who was born on 1 December 1896, he was likely also the father of Mary Jane Crawford, who was born on 4 March 1894 and was also the daughter of Ida Roberta (Ashby) Crawford. We have not been able to determine Harry's parents, or which of the Crawford families of West Virginia he belonged to.

While our Crawford research in this project has focused primarily on the extended family of John Crawford and Susan (Woods) Crawford of Virginia, and then later of Braxton County, West Virginia, there were several additional Crawford families in the area during the same time period. It seems logical to us that some of those other families may be connected, although we have not yet been successful, after several attempts, to prove that theory. Most of our "failures" are not included in this project because we have been able to satisfy ourselves that Harry was not among them. So, after many hours, over several weeks, of researching Crawfords in Virginia and West Virginia, our search for Harry has come to a disappointing end. Who was he?... We absolutely hate to give up, so we'll share an idea that will continue to haunt us until we learn the truth...

What if John Henry Crawford was Harry?... John Henry Crawford was the only son of Charles Crawford and Frances (Donaldson) Crawford of Braxton County. He was a nephew of William Crawford, the second husband of Mary Jane (Wine) Ashby Crawford, who was the mother of Ida Roberta (Ashby) Crawford. Adding to our tangled web of extended family, Ida Roberta's older sister, Margaret Alice (Ashby) Crawford, married Jordan J. Crawford, who was a brother of William Crawford and another uncle of John Henry Crawford.

Our conjecture, at first, appears not to work because John Henry married Amanda C. Bragg in April 1889 and they were enumerated together, with John's mother, Frances (Donaldson) Crawford, shortly before John's death in 1900. However, during the ten year period between 1889 and 1900, we have found no records for either John Henry or Amanda and much could have happened during those ten years. We learned from the 1900 census, for example, that during their marriage, Amanda had no children. What if she and John separated, and/or divorced, in the early years of their marriage? What if John Henry had a second short marriage with Ida Roberta which produced two daughters, Mary Jane and Evalena in 1894 and 1896? What if John, whose middle name was Henry, was called Harry? On the 1900 census, Ida Roberta was enumerated with her daughters in the household of a relative and recorded as divorced, and John Henry was enumerated with Amanda and his mother and recorded as married. John died one week after the 1900 census was taken, and Amanda married her second husband less than four months after John's death. As we see it, it is possible that John Henry Crawford could be our Brick Wall Harry Crawford. What do you think?... And if not John Henry... Who?..

If anyone reading this has information about Harry Crawford or John Henry Crawford, please contact us. We will greatly appreciate your help.2,3

To his eldest son Richard Bell he bequeathed the customs of the town of Redhills in County Cavan and also the lands of Altreagh, County Cavan which leases he held by three lives renewable forever, made by the said Francis White. And also to Richard he gave his lands of Shane in County Monaghan. To his wife Mary he gave one of his best horses, the furniture of her room and other furniture she may wish. That part of the lands of Gortaquill, County Cavan purchased by him from John Buntell, gentleman, he bequeathed to his second son George Bell.

To his natural and illegitimate son John Bell, he bequeathed £40 to be paid him by his, the testator's son George. He bequeathed £5 to the poor of the parish of Anna, also to be paid by his son George.

Should his son Richard die unmarried and without issue, the lands of Killynure, the customs of Redhills aforesaid and also the lands of Altreagh shall revert to his son George, and if George dies unmarried and without issue, the said lands of Gortaquill, Carrigan, Clonumphry, "Sallcony", Killybandrick and Finternagh to his son Richard.
