Supreme Court of Virginia August 21, 1827 (Epes's Adm'r. v. Dudley)

Judge Care.

On the merits, there is no question about this case. The whole estate, both real and personal, being devised to the widow for life, and the crop being made on her land with her slaves, the year after the testator’s death, is, without doubt, of right hers, and may be properly recovered by her husband, as her administrator.
