I Lucinda Brown widow being of Sound Disposing mind and Memory do make and 
ordain this my last Will and Testament in manner and form following that is to 
say - after payment of my just debts and funeral expenses I desire & bequeath 
my whole estate to my son Thomas Augustus Brown and to my Executors herein 
after named for the sole & separate use of my daughter Mary Lucinda Brown in 
the following manner
I devise that a fair and just estimate be made of all that my said son and 
daughter may be worth at the time of my death and that my estate be so divided 
that when each ones share of my estate is added to what each of my Children 
may have at the time of my death the estate of each child may then be equal. 
The share which may fall to my son I leave to him in fee simple and the share 
of my daughter I leave to my Executors to by them settled for the sole & 
separate use of my Said daughter far from the control debts or encumbrances of 
any husband she may then or at any further time have and in trust for the use 
of such person or persons as my said daughter may by her last will and 
testament appoint.   
Lastly I constitute and appoint my said Son & son in law Henry Jones Executors 
of this my last will and testament hereby revoking all previous wills hereinto 
made by me - 
On reflection I have determined by my will to do something for my daughter 
Martha Ann Jones wife of Henry Jones in addition to what I have already done. 
I  therefore declare it to be my will notwithstanding what is above written 
that I give and bequeath to my said daughter Martha Ann Jones her choice of 
one of my Negroes any one I may have at the time of my death to have and to 
hold the same during her natural life of her the said Martha Ann Jones & at 
her death it is my will that such slave as she may select then return to my 
estate to be divided between my son Augustus and daughter Mary Lucinda Brown 
as is above and already set forth in regard to the rest of my estate.
Signed sealed published and declared for and as the will of Lucinda Brown 
being [ _ ] as attesting [ _ ] [ _ ] interlined [?] as to names of executors 
before execution in presence of each other witnesses [ 5 words unreadable] 
signed the same as witnesses this 9th March 1850
