BARKSDALE.
1789, July 21 - Will of Nathaniel Barksdale, Sr.
"My wife Mourning," to whom he left four negroes, &c. "To my son, William, five negroes; to son, Peter, four negroes (three now in his possession); to son, Nathaniel, two negroes (now in his possession); to son, Elisha, land and negroes; to daughter, Fanny, a negro and fifty pounds; to daughter, Betty, a negro and fifty pounds; to daughter, Sally, a negro and fifty pounds; to Sukey, my youngest daughter, two negroes and fifty pounds; to my son Peter's oldest son, Nathaniel, one negro." Will probated November 23, 1793.
The name "Mourning" has called forth much comment from various genealogists, and is supposed to have been given as the result of sorrow or calamity, but having seen it recorded in so many families in Virginia, and running through so many generations in families, besides having found it a family name in England and in Henrico county, Virginia, we are forced to conclude that it is in most cases a family name.
Robert Adams, of Goochland county, Va., who made his will in 1738, proven June 17, 1740, names his wife "Mourning," and the will of John Johnston, recorded in Amelia county March 23, 1772, makes his grandson, "Mourning" Johnston, one of his legatees.
Halifax county records a "Mourning" Watkins (the posthumous daughter of Micajah Watkins, Jr.), and there was a "Grief" and "Mourning" Randolph, sorrowful twins, for some descendants to wonder the why and wherefore of such woeful appellations to be borne through a lifetime.
May 5, 1823 - Will of Peter Barksdale.
"Wife, Nancy; son, Nathaniel; son, Armestead; my daughter, Susannah Sydnor; daughter, Polly w. Logan; daughter, Frances (deceased), wife of William M. Williams; my son, Elisha Barksdale; my daughter, Elizabeth Baker; my son, William Peter Barksdale. One-eighth part to each child.
(Signed) "Peter Barksdale."
Witnesses: Anthony Sydnor, William Logan, David Logan
