In the name of God, amen. I, Adam Jones, being weak
in body and blessed be the Lord, sound in mind and
memory, do make and ordain this my last will and testament,
in the manner and form following: That is to say, in
the first place I resign my body to the earth from which
it came and distribute my estate among my five children as
follows: Sallie, Frances, Patsy, Patience and son Daniel.
Amongst them is my will and desire to divide into different
shares and parts, which is all to be equal, share and share
alike, in all cases; in which my whole estate and effects
will have to be sold, and I therefore make and appoint and
ordain my worthy friend and son-in-laws, James Gibson and
James Ware, my lawful Executors, to transact the whole business
of my estate after my decease and decent burial, expenses
paid therefrom. In witness whereof, I have set my hand and
seal this 12th of August 1845.
Signed Adam Jones
