THE LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF CLAYBORN HINSON
Liberty County, Georgia
March 31, 1794

(From the original will and transcribed exactly as
written including the original spelling and
punctuation except in the instances where "f" is
used as "s".  Where there are questions about words
I have inserted question marks.  Items appearing in
brackets are my own comments.)

In the Name of God Amen.  I Clayborn Hinson of
