ELAM F. ANSLEY

In the name of God Amen I Elam F. Ansley of Said State
and County knowing the certainty of death and the
uncertainty of life deem it right and proper, both as
respects myself and my family that I should make a
disposition of the property with which a kind
Providence has blessed me.  I therefore make this my
last Will and Testament hereby revoking and Annulling
all others heretofore made by me.


Item First" I will and direct that all my just debts be
paid as soon as the circumstances will admit of its
being done.


Item Second" After my just debts are paid I will to my
wife Rachel Ansley and to my children now in life and
those that may be born to me, all the rest of my
property both real and personal and also all moneys
notes and accounts I may have on hand at my death, all
the above to be kept together during the natural life
or widowhood of my wife for the Joint use and benefit
of the whole in maintaining educating and supporting
them.  Provided however my wife should marry, then the
whole of my estate and effects above mentioned to be
Sold and the proceeds to be equally divided between her
and my children that may be living, share and share
alike equally, or at the death of my wife, the property
mentioned to be sold and the proceeds equally divided
between my children that may be then living, share and
share alike equally.  It is furthered my wish and
desire that my Mother still remain as one of the family
as heretofore, and be entitled to the same privileges
she had in the family ! during my life, or so long as
she may wish to remain in the family. Item Third"  I
constitute and appoint my beloved wife Rachael
Executrix, and my friend Nicholas C. Bacon Executor to
