The State of Georgia, in the name of God, Amen.
   Elbert County.
   I, Isaac D. Vaughan of said County, being in sound disposing mind and 
memory and calling to mind the uncertainty of life, do make this my last Will 
and Testament, hereby revoking all other Wills by me heretofore made.
   1st.  I commend my soul to God who gave it, and my body to the earth to be 
buried in a Christian manner according to my circumstances in life.
   2nd.  I will and desire that my just debts be paid as hereinafter charged 
on my estate.
   3rd.  I give and bequest to my beloved wife, Harriet Vaughan, my house and 
lot in the town of Elberton where I now live together with all the rights 
appertaining here, my horse and buggy, silver watch, all the household and 
kitchen furniture she had when we were married or given to her by her father, 
the cow and calf on said lot which is hers.  And I also give my wife the tract 
of land and its appurtenances I bought of S. F. Bruce, lying in Corporate 
limits of Elberton containing forty-three and three-tenth acres joining lands 
of J. D. James and others; to her and her heirs forever.
   4th. I give and bequest to my two children, A. W. Vaughan and E. C. 
(Elizabeth Haynes), my home tract joining lands of A. Vaughan and Sanford S. 
Butler, all plantation tools, too chest and tools, cotton gin and all other 
things belonging to the said place, together with their heirs forever.  I give 
my daughter the chest known as her mother's. (Rachel C. David)
   5th.  Should either of my children die before the provision of this Will is 
carried out, then my will is that their children shall take the part of my 
estate their deceased parent would have taken.
   6th.  I Will and desire that all my notes, accounts, and debts due me, and 
money that I have on hand at my death be collected and used for the payments 
of my debts.  The balance, if any, be equally divided between my wife and my 
said two children share alike.  If the above notes, debts and money is not 
enough.
   I will and direct that one half of my home tract of land be served for a 
burial ground, that said ground be neatly paled in at the expense of the 
estate.  I appoint A. W. Vaughan, son; C. C. Haynes, son-in-law; and G. M. 
Campbell, executors.
          Witness my hand and seal this 26th day of December 1876. 
          Signed: Isaac D. Vaughan.  (his X mark)
          Witness; Robert Hester, J. F. G. Auld and W. D. Campbell
