     Judith's occupation: Homemaker.. Obituary in the LYNCHBURG VIRGINIAN 1840:

Another triumph of Divine Grace.

Departed this life, on the 25th day of February, 1840, MRS. JUDITH H. TABB, consort of VINCENT TABB, of this place, in 68th year of her age. MRS. TABB had been long the subject of affliction; nearly one half her life was spent in pain, but especially for the last three or four years she had been confined to her bed, unable to walk, or in any way to attend to the affairs of domestic life; yet she never murmured or complained in the least, that her lot was hard; on the contrary, she was always cheerful, always resigned, always happy. She possessed more than an ordinary share of intellect, and her mind was well stored with scripture; knowledge, and other writings on the subject of Trinity, hence she was always ready to bring out of the treasury which she had richly laid up in store, things new and old, she was always ready to comfort her very comforters. Her judgement was always clear upon moral and religious subjects, and her understanding was strong and vigorous to the last; her advice, which she was always ready to give to her young friends when they visited her, was safe; hence she was often consulted upon the subjects of experimental and practical godliness. She had been a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church for fifty years, and frequently expressed her fears that the Church in her latter days was departing rapidly from primitive purity and simplicity. She was a great admirer of the founders of Methodism. She loved the Church dearer than her life; and although she was unable to go to the Church to hear preaching, she would often enquire of her fiends about the state of the Church, and if she heard that God had graciously poured out His spirit, and was reviving his work, the tear of joy would start from her eyes as she lay on her bed, and she would rejoice greatly in spirit. She had for many years prayed for her husband, that God would convert his soul, although he was very kind to her, and had the utmost confidence in her religion and integrity, and when he was brought into straits, would ask her advice, which he always regarded as safe; yet he never professed religion until the latter part of her life. This was a source of great comfort and consolation to her, that God had answered her prayers at last, in the conversion of him whom she always regarded as one of the kindest and best of husbands. The reader can very easily guess how such an individual died. The night previous to the morning that she made her exit from this, to the heavenly world, after slumbering for some time, she waked and saw her husband sitting by her bed side, as he was in the habit of doing for several weeks or months through the winter, always keeping up a good fire, not knowing of what hour she would depart; she knowing that he was much broken down by fatigue, insisted upon his going to bed and taking some rest, to which he at last consented. After he laid down, she begun to talk of all her surviving relations, among the rest, she named their only living son, and recommended him in the care and the notice of the husband and the father. She then told him that he knew her views in regard to her burial, that she wished no parade; she wanted every thing done in the plainest manner possible, she wished no carriages, no ostentation, and that wherever these things might cost, she wished him to make the estimate, and give the amount to the Missionary cause; after making these arrangements, they both fell into a little slumber, the husband having her hand in his, when of a sudden he awoke, and finding her hand seemed to be cold and motionless, he got up and lighted a candle, just in time to see her raptured soul depart to the paradise of God. Thus lived and died MRS. TABB, one of the best of women. Truly hers was a sanctified affliction, and worked out for her a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory. The writer of this humble tribute to her memory, can say clearly, that there is nothing in this notice that is exaggerated, but that much more might be said, if he did not think that perhaps it is already too protracted for an obituary. Judith was born at Virginia circa 1772.1 She married Vincent Tabb at Powhatan County, Virginia, on 16 August 1798.2 She was listed as a resident in the census report at Rowan County, North Carolina, circa 1810. She was listed as a resident in the census report at Lynchburg, Campbell County, Virginia, circa 1820. Judith died on 25 February 1840 at Lynchburg, Campbell County, Virginia.1 She was buried after 25 February 1840 at Old City Cemetery, Lynchburg, Virginia.3

DEATH CERTIFICATE OF MAURICE LANGHORN TABB. JR CITY OF PORTSMOUTH, VA. Year 1859: April 29 1859 Portsmouth, Va. Cancer of Stomach age 63 Parents: MAURICE TABB and JUDY b. Powhatan Co Va. Farmer etc.

      WILL OF MAURICE LANGHORNE TABB Norfolk County, State of Va. 1 March 1859:

      In the name of God Amen, I M.L.TABB, Sr. of the County and State aforesaid, being of sound mind and memory and desiring to make a suitable disposition of my little earthly possessions which I am blest with the same, I make and constitute this my last Will and Testament revoking all others.

      First: I give my Soul to God who gave it to me and in whom I trust for salvation through the merrit of Jesus Christ my redeemer and I desire my body to be decently interred in a plain Black coffin (not covered and I particularly request that there may be no badges of mourning used at my funeral and that none of my relatives wear any black for me as I think it high time that such outward show should be abolished.

      Secondly: I give to my very dutiful and attentive daughter SERENA V. TABB, the lot with its improvements on which I now reside on Court Street in the City of Portsmouth with all the household and kitchen furniture and all on said lot pertaining to housekeeping except what I shall herein after dispose of. I also give SERENA negro girl LUCY with her increase from this date. I also give SERENA two thousand ($2000) dollars of the money to be paid me by MRS. MARY ANN PARKER and the arrears of interest that may accrue up to my death, and I further direct that she take possession of the lot and negro immediately at my death and that she draw the interest semi-annually until she can get in possession of the principal. I give to my little infant VINCENT TABB three thousand five hundred dollars from my estate and I request that my executor will sell all the negores which may come to me from the estate of my beloved wife REBECCA R. TABB and with the money that I may get from the negros sold by S.B. TATEM and any other means from said estate to pay the amount I owe the estate of JAMES TATUM decd. and a note held by S. B. TATEM and with the balance remaining if there should be so much make up the legacy of VINCENT to five thousand dollars or what ever the amount may be under that and if there should be a surplus left after reaching that amount $5000, I will herein after appropriate it, I also give VINCENT the bedstead bed and furniture I now occupy, with my trunk and double barrel gun when he is large enough to use it.

      Thirdly, I direct that my executor will place at interest for the benefit of daughter ELIZA J. CHOATE two thousand dollars to be under his supervision as Trustee for her, the interest of which she is to receive yearly during her natural life and after her death to be equally divided amongst her children. I also lend my daughter ELIZA negro woman HARRIET during her natural life and at her death give her to her children upon this express condition that if my daughter ELIZA should be left a widow, then and in that event I give the aforesaid legacies to her to dispose of as she may see best, and I direct that she have possession of HARRIET immediately after my death.

      Fourthly, I give to my sons AUGUSTUS and MAURICE fifteen hundred dollars each the interest of which to be paid to them until the time arrives for the collection of the principal.

      Fifthly, I direct that my exectr. sell negro boy ABRAM (but not away unless his conduct require it) and also the land near TAYLORS CAMP GROUND, and upon this he may give a credit if necessary, the interest to be paid semi-annually and with the money for wood cut by J. G. WILLIAMS, and the surplus if any of the negros sold from my wife's estate, that he will pay all just debts if any and all the expenses of settling the estate, and I wish him to place in the Portsmouth Savings Fund Society one hundred dollars not to be removed unless the bank closes its business, and then to be placed in another Savings Bank, the interest if which to be paid at the end of each year in the cashier to the sexton of PUTTOCK CEMETARY upon his satisfying him that my lot is is good order, and then if any surplus should remain, I request him to divide it equally between ELIZA, AUGUSTUS, MAURICE and I also request if it is not received in my life that the three hundred dollars for which negro girl SARAH was sold and received by MR. JAMES TATEM and not returned be equally divided tween ELIZA, SERENA, AUGUSTUS, and MAURICE as that property came by their MOTHER. I mean that the sale of ABRAM and land to go in the funds with wood cut by WILLIAMS and the other surplus, to be used for the purpose named in that connection.

      Lastly, I appoint my friend ARTHUR EMMERSON, ESQ, Executor to this my last will and Testament and I also appoint him guardian to my son VINCENT TABB and I hereby authorize him to use any means within the limits of his estate to give him a good education and desire him to remain under the supervision of his sister SERENA and that his guardian pay her annually forty dollars a year during that continuance and if my daughter SERENA should continue to keep house that she be allowed one hundred and sixty a year for his board, and to be paid for anything and all necessary expenses out of his estate and if anything should take place to prevent MR.EMMERERSON from qualifying on the estate or becoming guardian to VINCENT, I hereby authorize my daughter SERENA to select a suitable person for the vacancy or vacancies. As witness my hand and seal the day and year first written. M. L. TABB, SR.

      MR. EMMERSON; If I should draw HARRY that now MR. NASH hires, I think it will be best not to sell him as he hires $150 a year and value more than 7 or $800 but set his value VINCENT. M. L. TABB

      At the Court of Hustings for the City of Portsmouth held on the 9th day of May 1859. A writing purporting to be the last Will and Testament of MAURICE L. TABB decd. together with the codicils to said will were produced in Court by ARTHUR EMMERSON, the executor therein named and there being no subscribing witnesses to the said Will and Codicils STEPHEN B TATUM and HERMAN MATTHEWS were sworn and severally deposed that they are well acquainted with the Testators hand writing and vicely believe the said writings and the names thereto subscribed to each of them to be wholly written by the Testators own hand. Whereupon the said writings are ordered to be recorded as the true last Will and Testament of the said M.L. TABB decd. And on the motion of ARTHUR EMMERSON the executor therein named who made oath thereto and together with JOHN EMMERSON and HOLT WILSON his securities entered into and acknowledged a bond in the penally of twenty thousand dollars ($20,000) with condition according to law which bond is ordered to be recorded. Certificate is granted the said ARTHUR EMMERSON for obtaining probate of the said Will in due form.

      DEED BOOK 61, P. 285 10 Sept. 1836 PORTSMOUTH, VA.
Between M. L. TABB and REBECCA R. TABB his wife of the County of Norfolk---to MRS. FRANCES RUDDER --tract of land $175.00 No Witnesses.
NOTE; M.L. and REBECCA had to have married before 1836 when this was written. JPT

      NOTE: There are three unexplained graves on the cemetery lot of M. L. TABB i.e. FLETCHER, GEORGE E., DEMONIA. I have assigned FLETCHER and GEORGE E. to M.L. TABB and REBECCA, but this is just guessing. DEMONIA died on the same day as DR. THOMAS J. TABB. If this is correct they could have been victims of yellow fever epidemic or an accident. 1855 was the year when hundreds died in Portsmouth of yellow fever. We do not know who DEMONIA TABB was, but since W. L. TABB and LOVEY had another daughter on 1830 Census I have assigned DEMONIA to them. I hope further research will shed some light on these mysteries. It is confusing!

DEATH REGISTER OF PORTSMOUTH, VA.

      REBECCA TABB died 15 Oct 1853, near Portsmouth, at the age of 39 years, cause of death not given, daughter of JOSEPH and SARAH TATEM. Death reported by M. L. TABB, consort.

      CEMETERY LOT OF M. L. TABB Oak Grove Cemetery (old PUTTOCK CEMETERY). The grave next to M. L. TABB is concrete slab (as is M. L.TABB's) and listed on slab is memorial to both of M. L. TABB'S wives LOVEY and REBECCA and also to the last children each woman give birth to. They did not appear to die in childbirth. This is most unusual and was probably done after M. L.Tabb's death, but on his instructions. I sense a lot of tension concerning M. L.'s second marriage between his oldest sons and second wife. It looks like M. L. tried to placate these sons by giving them land after his second marriage. Anyway, it is hard to believe that four people are in the grave next to M. L. TABB, but the tombstone is a memorial to four: LOVEY her infant son J. ADOLPHUS; REBECCA and her infant son J. Wesley. Most unusual!

(The information above was provided by Jeanette Probst Tabb.) He married Lovy Tatum. Maurice was born at Powhatan County, Virginia, on 10 June 1796.2,3 Maurice applied for a marriage license to wed Lovy Tatum at Portsmouth, Norfolk County, Virginia, on 20 March 1817.4 He was listed as a resident in the census report at Portsmouth, Norfolk County, Virginia, circa 1820.
