I thought that was an interesting will too.
This article talked about not leaving "his grand-children" anything. But I can
find no marriage for him nor is he shown as married in any of the census records.
I found another article - much smaller - but it says he didn't leave anything to his
brother's and sisters grandchildren.
Would guess that is what the first article should have said.
Also... he seemed to leave everything to this Dr. Stevenson and his wife. Census records
show that he lived with Dr. Stevenson and his family in 1850, 1860, 1870, and 1880. Looks
like he was a major part of their family for many years.
Take care - Emma
