Will of Robt R. Minter

State of Alabama, 

      Dallas County.  I, R. R. Minter considering the uncertainty of this 
life, and being of sound mind and memory, make and publish this my last will 
and testament. -

I desire that all my real and personal property be sold except my negroes and 
stock in the Alabama and Tennefsee River Rail Roads.  My negroes, stock in the 
Alabama and Tennefsee river rail some money arising from said sale, and all 
money due or may become due my estate, will constitute my estate, which after 
the payment of all my lawful debts.  I will and bequeath as follows:  To my 
granddaughter, M.E. Thomas, I will and bequeath four fifths of one fifth to be 
free from the marital rights of her husband & should she marry; should she die 
leaving no child or children of her body nor decendants of child or children, 
then the property herein bequeathed her shall revert and become the property 
of my daughters M.P. Alexander, J. R. Bohannon and S.M. Drudell. -  

To A. Cambell my granddaughter I will and bequeath four fifths of one fifth to 
be free from the marital rights of her husband; should she die leaving no 
child or children of her body nor decendants of child or children; then the 
property herein bequeathed her shall revert to and become the property of my 
daughters, M.P. Alexander, J. R. Bohannon, and S.M. Drudell. -

All the rest and residue of my estate I will and bequeath to my daughters M. 
P. Alexander, I. R. Bohannon and S. M. Drudell, to be free from the marital 
rights of their husbands. -

I desire that my executors shall invest the money of each legacy in giving 
negroes and give to each legatee instead of money thinking they will be less 
likely to spend an estate of that kind. -
My reason for not bequeathing my granddaughter S.A. Alexander some thing is 
that I gave during my life all she ought to have.  

I hereby appoint my Grandson R. M. Alexander sole executor of this my last 
will and testament.  

	April 5, 1861.
