I Sarah Altona Thompson of Marengo County hereby make and declare my last will 
and testament as follows to wit. I desire that my plantations shall be kept up 
and any hands worked thereon till debts are paid and my executor hereinafter 
named shall pay out of the proceeds therefrom the sum of 12 thousand dollars to 
the Alabama Annual Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church South. I then 
direct any property of every description to be divided into 5 equal shares and 
hereby give and bequeath to my sister Ann Brooks, to my brother James L 
Terrell, my sister Fannie Rembert and the children of Jack Thompson deceased, 
one of each said shares. And the other share I give and bequeath to my brother 
Foster Terrell and James Thompson of the county of Choctaw to be equally 
divided between them. I give to my sister Fannie my house and lot on which I am 
now living in Dayton for which she is to account in the division of any 
property as aforesaid at a fair evaluation provided she does not sell the house 
but resides therein. I desire any slaves to be divided in families so as to 
separate them as little as possible. I hereby appoint my brother James L 
Terrell executor of this my last will and testament. In witness whereof I ___ 
set my hand and seal this 6th day of July AD 1856.
Altona Thompson (Seal)
Witness, Joshua Heard, Frank Prince
