Oglethorpe County
Will Book D, Page 153

In the name of God, Amen.  I, Benjamin H. Edwards of the county and state aforesaid, do 
ordain and appoint this to be my last will & testament.  I desire that my estate, consisting 
of all the property of which I may die possessed, may be kept together for five years or 
until my younger children, Sarah M. Edwards and John Rufus Edwards, shall have 
received the rudiments of an education – and my family supported out of the same during 
that time, meaning thereby my wife and the two younger children above named.  And 
after that time, I wish my estate to be equally divided between the following persons, to 
wit:  William H. Edwards, Mary Harrison, Francis Bledsoe, now of Mississippi, Martha 
M. Borum, Jinett Harmon, Sarah M. Edwards, and John R. Edwards.  And my wife 
Permelia A. Edwards.

I appoint Robert Harrison my Executor and request that he take the management of my 
estate and carry out this my last will and testament.  In testimony whereof I have 
hereunto set my hand and affixed my seal.  

Benjamin H. (x) Edwards

Signed and acknowledged in presense of us,
