Will
of James G. Spann, Jr. (Eleanora's brother) This is a
very fascinating will--for many reasons. It confirms that
Eleanora is James' sister. Also, note the date he wrote
the will (only a few months before his death in battle during
the Civil War) and care he takes in making sure his slave
families are not separated due to the execution of his will.
