Secondly I desire and direct that no part of my real or personal Estate that is now cultivated or being cultivated in rice shall be sold for the liquidation of my debts so long as the Executors can control the same. Thirdly It is my desire and positive command that no division of my Estate either real or personal shall be made until all my just and lawful debts are paid. Fourthly I desire that after all my debts are paid my Estate both real and personal shall be divided in accordance with the Laws and Statutes of the State of Georgia therefore made and provided. I do hereby make and ordain my son Daniel H.B. Troup and my neighbor James Hamilton Couper Esquire Executors of this my last Will and Testament. In witness whereof I James Troup the testator have to this my Will set my hand and seal this twentieth day of December in the year of our Lord Eighteen hundred and forty seven.
