In fact, I have seen that very situation indicated by a will in my own family's history. However, that will also included the reason for the seemingly small legacy, by spelling out the gift of a large parcel of land that particular son had already received. Sometimes, the reason for such seeming slights will be spelled out, right in the document.<br /><br />However, there is another reason why I am careful to sniff out any possibility of family disagreements, and I did spot one possible friction point, which I will examine in a post next week.Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-41036347714981252562021-05-11T14:29:11.163-07:002021-05-11T14:29:11.163-07:00Just a suggestion re Wills. eg will of William Ija...Just a suggestion re Wills. eg will of William Ijams of Fairfield County, Ohio, which he signed on December 27, 1815.
