Will of William Glenn, Sr.
Oglethorpe County, GA
31 Jan 1857

Georgia
Oglethorpe County

In the name of God, Amen,
That I, William Glenn Senior, being of advanced age and knowing that according to the 
laws of nature I must shortly depart this life, and now being in good health deem it right 
and just as respects myself and family that I make some disposition of the property that a 
kind Providence has blessed me with,

Item 1st  - I direct that after my death that my body be buried in a decent Christian like 
manner suited to my circumstances in life, and I trust my spirit will return to God who 
gave it, whose religion I have professed and I trust have enjoyed for the last Forty seven 
years, Nine months and Seven days.

Item 2nd – I direct that all my just debts be paid as I am unwilling that my creditors be 
delayed in their just rights, especially when there is no cause for delay.

Item 3rd – I give and bequeath to my daughter Elizabeth G. Howard (as I am living in the 
house with her) all my beds, bed clothes and furniture that I brought with me to her 
house.

Item 4th – I now direct that the residue of my estate, wherever and whatever may be 
found, be equally divided between my daughter Elizabeth G. Howard, my daughter 
Rebecca Glenn, William A. Howard, the only legal representative of my daughter Mary 
Howard, and the children of my son John A. Glenn, deceased, Viz:  James S. Glenn, 
Thos. Glenn, L. M. Glenn, John A. Glenn, R. M. Glenn, F. G. Glenn, Mary L. Glenn, S. 
M. Glenn, Robert A. Glenn and Ann E. Cottle, wife of W. S. Cottle.

Item 6th – I herein appoint Asa J. Howard my sole executor of this my last will and 
testament hereby revoking all other wills heretofore made by me.

In witness I have hereunto set my hand and seal this 31st day of Jan. 1857.

William Glenn
