Selected Payments for Jemima Wansley

The annual returns as recorded in the bound volumes of Elbert County, Georgia typically are a summary of credits and debits for the estate during the previous year. The packets of probate records include receipts for individual accounts providing information about occupations and businesses, not always evident from the annual returns. Frequently the charges were written on scraps of paper as were the receipts acknowledged by the executor. Several accounts concern Jemima Wansley’s last illness including Dr. J. H. M. Barrett who attended her, Francis D. Hinton for “waiting on Jemima Wanslow from sometime in October to the twenty first of December 1858 $2500“ and her daughter Elizabeth A. Patterson for “waiting on Jemima Wansley Nine Months while sick $40.00.” Ezekial Bailey charged the estate for “Making one fine coffin 18.00” for Jemima Means Wansley. The heirs of the estate also signed for their distributive share. The records for Thomas Wansley, Sr. and Jemima include about 180 pages of documents. The following represents a limited sampling of the extensive information available in the probate packets. These estate records are available through FamilySearch.org.
