I, James Forsyth, of said State and County being of advanced age and knowing
that I must shortly depart this life, 
deem it right 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 all others
heretofore made by me. 

I desire and direct that my body be buried in a decent Christian-like manner,
 suitable to my circumstances and conditions in life. 

I desire and direct that all my just debts be paid without delay by my executors
herein after appointed as
 I am unwilling my creditors should be delayed in these rights. 

I give and bequeath to my beloved wife, Lydia with whom I have lived in the
strictest quietude,
 lots of land number Eleven Hundred Twenty Five, Eleven Hundred and Seventy
Nine, and Eleven
 Hundred and Eighty in the Eighteenth District of Paulding County containing
forty acres each, more or
 less, with all the rights, members and appurtenances to said lots of land in
any wise belonging free from all
 charge or limitation whatever to her own purpose, use, benefit and behalf
forever with full power to dispose
 of the same at any time previous to her death by will deed as she may think
proper.  I also give and bequeath
 to my beloved wife in the same unreserved manner, the farming utensils used on
and belonging to said
 plantation of every description whatever, and two mules and two wagons and four
cows and calves.   All my
 stock hogs, all my household and kitchen furniture...on said plantation all
without reserve or limitation.  The bequest 
made to my wife are in lieu of her whole Dower.

I give and bequeath to my beloved wife for and during her natural life only, my
Negro man,
 John, about forty years olde. 

I hereby constitute and appoint my beloved wife, Lydia, executrix and my son,
Elijah R. Forsyth,
 executor of this my last will and testament this the 5th Day of August 1852.  

Signed James Forsythe (his mark)

Signed, sealed, declared and published by James Forsyth as his last will and 
testament in the presence of said testator and in the presence of us...who
subscribe
 our names hereto at his special insistence and request, and of each other this
