Shadrack's death preceded that of his father. https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QS7-99P6-9NV2?cat=406600 Scanned image of the original handwritten Will of 1777. His will is dated April 18, 1777 and was probated November 17 of that year, in Goochland County, Virginia:"To my son, Drury, one half of my estate, being part of the tract whereon I now live, to have full and lawful possession at the age of 20 years."He gave the other half of his land to his wife, "to hold during her natural life and after her death to my son Robert."He also gave all personal property, including "my interest in the mill" to his wife. He appointed his brothers, Drury and Gideon, executors of his will. He ordered his two sons, Drury and Robert, to pay to his daughters "125 [†]pounds, to be lawfully divided between them when of lawful age or married."His son Robert moved to Logan County, Kentucky. His widow, Mrs. Shadrack Mims (Elizabeth), executed a power of attorney authorizing Robert to demand of Henry G. Bibb, of Kentucky, "a negro girl named Eady to retain her for me and keep her as his own until I call for her."A year earlier Elizabeth had, "because of love and affection for my son Robert Mims," given him a slave named Lucinda and her children, named Eady [†], Elizabeth, and Fleming "with the increase of the females [†]." Robert of Kentucky was the grandfather of Zerelda Mims, who married Jesse James. Daughters of SHADRACK-4-a:In the Library of Congress may be found a volume with a very long sub-title: "The Douglas Register, by W. Mac. Jones, Being a Detailed Record of Births, Marriages and Deaths Together with other Interesting Notes,as kept by the Rev. William Douglas, from 1730 to 1797."From this book I obtained items of interest concerning the daughters of Shadrack-4-a: Page 15 151. Shadrack Mims and Elizabeth Woodson, a daughter Mary, born June 18, 1766, baptized July 20, 1766. 2. Shadrack Mims and Elizabeth Woodson, a daughter Betty, born April 3, 1769. 3.
