Last Will and Testament of Samuel P. Lumpkin, Clarke
County, GA Court of Ordinary, Will Book D (1859-1885),
Pgs. 146-147


Georgia         } Clarke County   }  

In the name of God, Amen.  I Samuel P. Lumpkin of the
county and State aforesaid being of sound mind and
disposing memory do make, ordain, publish and declare
this to be my last will and testament in order of my
entering the service of my country and the uncertainty of
all earthly things.


Item 1st         I command my soul to that God who gave
it and my body to my friends and relations to be buried
in a decent manner.


Item 2nd         I wish all my just debts paid.


Item 3rd         I give and bequeath all my Estate real,
personal, or negroes (?) after the payment of my debts to
John Calvin Johnson as trustee for his wife Matilda H.
Johnson of the county and State aforesaid for the sole
and separate use and to be disposed of as she pleases for
she has been to me a mother for several years past both
in affection and in every kindness that I could ask or
she could anticipate and or cause.  I believe if I were
to die or be reduced to helpless suffering she of all
others would most deeply deplore my loss or be most
willing to relieve my necessities and should her said
husband John Calvin Johnson survive her then to him give
of thy trust for I believed that he will do with it what
is right.


Item 4th        I hereby nominate, constitute and appoint
my friend John Calvin Johnson Executor of this my last
will & testament.


In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal
this 1st day of March 1862.
