Will of Stephen Marshall 23 Feb 1862 Harris County, GA

Stephen F. Marshall Will
Transcribed as it appears in Harris Co., GA, WB 2, page 112
Note - Stephen F. Marshall was apparently from Talbot Co., GA.  
His widow, Mary, married Thomas M. Pace of Harris Co., GA.  
I'm guessing that when Mary married Thomas Pace, she moved to Harris Co. 
and a copy of her previous husband's will was filed there.
