John Spicer Braddock wrote out his will on 29 Oct 1857 and had it witnessed by his sons Spicer C. Braddock and Alex. J. Braddock, and a third individual, Thos. J. DuBose. A copy of the will would be filed by Sarah in October of 1866 after the death of her husband in an attempt to probate the remaining property. She would use the will as part of her evidence in her Standing Interrogation of 1872 and hence this copy. The existing copy on file at the Nassau County Courthouse under their land records is similar, though they are not exact copies, the differences do not affect the bequeaths of the will, but instead reflect careless copying. It is likely the one on file in the land records is also a copy of the original. The original believed to be extant.

Considering increased postage and printing costs, the AIGS Board has made the decision to discontinue the automatic mailing of The Nassau County Genealogist issues remaining in members’ folders at year end. This will apply only to members who reside locally (Nassau County); mailing will continue for out-of-county and Organization memberships. We are requesting that local members pick up their quarterly publication copies from their folders at our monthly general meetings. If you are unable to attend the monthly evening meetings or there are other extenuating circumstances, and you are interested in having your copies, please contact the Membership Chair at membership@aigensoc.org to make alternative arrangements. One possibility is for us to leave your copies at the Fernandina Beach Library front desk to be picked up during regular library hours. We appreciate your understanding in this matter. We look forward to seeing our local members at an upcoming monthly meeting!...
