Notes |
- Elizabeth's grandfather, Col. William Byars, added a codicil to his will the month after Elizabeth gave birth to her only child, William. In it he bequeathed Elizabeth a tract of land on Cedar Creek in Smyth County, Virginia.
John (Hall) and Elizabeth, and their son William made their home in Glade Spring Township with Elizabeth's parents, John and Jane (Ryburn) Byars.
They all resided in a large brick home known as Cave Springs which had been built for John and Jane Byars on the lands of Brook Hall Farm, the plantation belonging to John's father, Col. William Byars.
The 1870 census listed John Hall as the head of the household with real estate holdings of over $17,000. Although he may have owned real estate at this time, it is unlikely he should have been recorded as the head of the household since Elizabeth's father was still living.
By 1900, John was deceased, as were Elizabeth's parents. She was enumerated that year with her 38 year old son, William, who died a few months later. Several other relatives were also listed in the household, including Elizabeth's cousins, Vene Ryan and Bertha Carmack, and a nephew, Mack Byars.
The month before her death Elizabeth wrote a lengthy and very detailed will. She requested that a tombstone be placed at her grave like the one at the grave of her beloved husband. She also requested the same for her son William and her mother and left money to maintain the graves. Elizabeth left 300 acres of the "home place", including the residence [Cave Springs], to her cousin A.M. Byars. She instructed her other lands be sold and bequeathed cash gifts to many people, including "her cousins" Mrs. M.L. Ryan, Mrs. Bettie Susong, Byars Clark, Mary Jane Clark, A. Lavinia Hutton and Addie Hutton. Elizabeth also left cash or specific gifts to a wide variety of individuals and institutions. She particularily remembered Bertha Carmack and wrote, "she (Bertha) has been very kind to me in my sorrow and loneliness.
Three days after her death, Elizabeth's will was recorded in Washington County court. A.M. Byars and F.B. Hutton took the oath of executors and with the United States Fidelity Company as their security, posted bond in the amount of $10,000. Elizabeth's will had stipulated that they not be required to post bond in excess of that amount. [2]
