Will Book B. p. 165
Last Will and Testament of Absalom Jordan

Georgia
Bibb County	In the name of God Amen.
I, Absalom Jordan of said State and County being advanced
in age and knowing that I must shortly depart from this
world deem it right and proper both as respects myself
and family that I should make a disposition of the
property with which a kind providence has blessed me, I
therefore make this my last Will and Testament hereby
revoking and annulling all others heretofore made by me.

Item 1st.  I desire that all my just debts be paid
without by my Executors hereinafter named as I am
unwilling my hereditors should be delayed of their rights
especially as there is no necessity for delay.

Item 2nd.  I give and devise to my beloved Wife Julia
Jordan with whom I have lived in the quiet and strict
love for forty eight years all that I am possessed of
both real and personal with the exception of one Negro
man named Luck.  She is to enjoy it till her death at
which time I want all of my property to be equally
divided between my children.

Item 3rd.  My Negro man Luck I want him to work for
himself under a Guardianship of my sons Wiley and James
Jordan after the death of myself.

Item 4th.  I constitute and appoint my beloved sons James
and Wiley Jordan Executors to this my last Will and
Testament this July 24th 1859.
