Georgia
Greene County              It is my will and desire that my Estate
real & personal shall be disposed of as follows --
                              First, my will is that my wife shall
hold the plantation & ferry whereon I reside during her life, & that my 
unmarried children shall live with her and that they shall be Educated out of 
the proceeds of what I am able to leave according to their means.  My wife 
shall have the control of them until they marry or become of age.
Second -- Each of my children is to have an equal share of my property 
including what each has received, those who are married to receive at the end 
of this year their share which shall be valued to them by my friends Samuel 
Skidmore, Daniel Perdue & William C. Dawson or any two of them with my 
Executors, and as each child arrives at age or marries, the Inferior Court if 
my then foregoing friends can not conveniently do it shall appoint three fit 
persons to value of him or her the shares of my Estate going to them under this 
my will; my wife always to be considered as having a child's part of my 
personal property, and she is to have the use and possession of the stock 
household & kitchen furniture, in fact, everything appertaining to the farm is 
to remain with her for her use and the youngest or unmarried children, if she 
marries the property is still to remain with her, but my Executors are to take 
care there should be no destruction of the property by imprudence of her or any 
one else; after my death an appraisement shall take place according to the Law 
and the inventory recorded --
I give to my son, Osbon S. Furlow one hundred & forty acres of the Clough land 
adjoining Colbs tract, including House & Spring -- he is to take it at 
valuation, as a part of his share of my Estate, all the rest of my lands save 
the lands lying in Greene I desire shall be sold on such terms and at such 
times as my Executors shall think prudent -- If my wife shall be able after 
supporting and educating all the children & herself to save any money from the 
crops & ferry my desire is that she shall convert it into property or loan it 
for her use & the use of the children that are under age at the time & who has 
not received his or her share -- all the property to remain with my wife except 
as before stated -- my executors shall still give attention & aid to my wife & 
shall be consulted in the employment of overseers if any shall be wanting.
I hereby nominate & appoint Osbon S. Furlow & James T. Furlow my executors to 
carry this will into effect according to its spirit and true meaning.  I desire 
them so to do.
                          In testimony whereof I have here unto set
my hand & seal this 21st day of July -- 1832 --
Signed sealed & fully                           his
executed in our presence                  David  X  Furlow
being too weak to write his name                mark
it was wrote at his request
