Le May Heir in Virginia Receives Fortunes From France
Mrs. James P. Hackett, widow of a Richmond patrolman, is poised to inherit an estate valued between 200000 and 300000 dollars. The disputed fortune in Southern France traces to Samuel Le May, grandfather of Mrs. Hackett, who fought a three generation vendetta in French courts. The original 200000 dollar stake grew in value during litigation, with Hackett and other heirs bearing legal costs. Mrs. Hackett, formerly Tuey Hoskins of Richmond, is a descendant of Samuel Le May, a Revolutionary War soldier who joined Lafayette, reached Yorktown, and later settled in Virginia before his death ended the court battle.
