Will of Thomas THOMPSON & Mildred Bell (CAVE) THOMPSON, 1871 |
Transcribed by Diana Gale Matthiesen from a photocopy of the original will on file at the Santa Clara County Recorder's Office in San Jose, CA. The will was one long paragraph; for improved readability, I have broken it into several smaller paragraphs. |
