     I Spencer Watts being weak of body but sound of mind do make this
     my last will and testament.
     
     To my brother Ewel Watts five dollars, and unto my sister Susannah
     Marknin (?) five dollars. To my sister Mary George five dollars. 
     
     To my niece Elan Haly Haise the daughter of my sister Katherine 
     Haise the sum of one hundred dollars.
     
     To my brother Samuel Watts, fifty dollars and my clothing. To my
     sister Winnefret Watts, fifteen hundred dollars, which sum I wish
     my brother William Watts to keep in his hands for her support 
     until she may marry. Should she marry I wish my brother William 
     Watts to lay out the said fifteen hundred dollars to the best 
     advantage in negroes and such other property as he may think best. 
     But I will that brother William still hold the right of property 
     for the support of her. And the airs of her body. Which airs I 
     will to have the property at her death. 
  
     And unto my brother William Watts I give the remainder of my 
     property, which consists of two tracts of land.  One in Polk 
     County known as No 27 and the other in Early County known as No 
     two hundred 26 Georgia. And all the money left after he pays to 
     the above named legatees.
     
     I appoint my brother William Watts my executor.
