I, James Madison do annex this Codicil to my last will — as
above & to be taken as part thereof. It is my will that the nine thousand
dollars to be paid by my wife and distributed among my nephews & Nieces,
may be paid into the Bank of Virginia, or into the Circuit Superior Court of
Chancery for Orange, within three years after my death.
I direct that the proceeds from the sale of my Grist Mill
& the land annexed sold at the death of my wife shall be paid to Ralph
Randolph Gurly, secretary of the American Colonization society and to
his executors & administrators, in trust and for the purposes of the said
society, whether the same be incorporated by law or not.
This Codicil is written wholly by and signed by my own hand
this nineteenth day of April 1835.
James Madison.
