Dorothy Payne, Quakeress: A Side-Light Upon the Career of 'Dolly' Madison
Barnard, Ella K. (Ella Kent)
Madison, Dolley, 1768-1849
I give and devise all my estate, real and personal, to the Dear
Wife of my Bosom, and first and only Woman upon whom my all and
only affections were placed, Dolly Payne Todd, her heirs and
assigns forever, trusting that as she proved an amiable and
affectionate wife to her John she may prove an affectionate mother
to my little Payne, and the sweet Babe with which she is now
enceinte. My last prayer is may she educate him in the ways of
Honesty, tho' he may be obliged to beg his Bread, remembering that
will be better to him than a name and riches.--I appoint my dear
wife executrix of this my will.
