Will of Thomas Dooley  - Dated  January 20, 1862
 
State Of Georgia      }
Habersham County }
 
In the name of God, Amen, I Thomas Dooley of said state
and county being of advanced age but of sound and
disposing mind and memory knowing that I must shortly
depart this life, deem it right and proper both as
respects my family and myself that I should make a
disposition of the property of which a kind providencer
has blessed me. I do therefore make this my last will
and testament, newly revoking and annuling all others
by me heretofore made:

First: I desire and direct that my body be buried in a
decent and Christian like manner suitable to my
circumstances and connexion in life, my soul I trust
shall return to God who gave it, and I hope for
salvation through the merits and attonements of the
blessed Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.

Secondly: I desire and trust that all my just debts be
paid without delay by my executors herein after named
and appointed.

Thirdly: I desire and direct that all my property shall
be equally divided between all my children to wit Nancy
L, Alley, Elizabeth A. Bryan, I give and bequeath to my
daughter, Mary E. Trotter, wife of William Trotter for
her sole and separate use for and during her natural
life, free exempt from the debts and liabilities of her
present or future husband.  At the death of my daughter
Mary E. Trotter, shall pass to and become the property
of the children and representatives of children of said
Mary E. Trotter forever, Linsey I. Dooley, Sarah A.
Seitz, Thomas J. Dooley, and James W. Dooley at my
death.
