  Joshua X Ginger
  NOTE:  James Hargraves said that he has a very good copy of the original
  will written on November 27, 1824. T he text is similar but not exactly
  the same. In this will, the name Grinder i s very clearly written and
  leaves no doubt as to the spelling. Joshua could n ot read or write, but
  his mark is interesting, it is a big "J". It would seem that the county
  clerk
  made a really unusual spelling mistake, transcribing Grinder as Ginger.
  It is obvious
  that the clerk copied from the original wil l and he got it about 95 %
  right.
