Will of James Lowery

State of Georgia
Pike County

In the name of God Amen this twenty sixth day of September in the year of our 
Lord eighteen hundred and thirty two. I James Lowery of the county & State 
aforesaid being infirm in body, but of sound mind & memory do make & ordain 
this my last will & testament in manner following (viz) Item 1st after paying 
all my just debts I wish the whole of my estate both real & personal & 
everything that I am or may be possessed of, sold at such a time& on such a 
credit as may be best for the interest of my representatives ( which is to be 
left entirely with my hereinafter named executor) and the amount to be equally 
divided among the following Legates to wit, when they shall arrive to the age 
of twenty one or so soon thereafter, as he the said executor can realize the 
amount of said sale, to wit, my wife Frances Lowery; my son in law William 
Deason; my son Asa Lowery, my son David Lowery, my daughter Frances Lowery & 
my daughter Peggy Lowery

Item 2nd I hereby exposing[?] especial trust and confidence in my friend John 
Farley[?] of the county & State aforesaid do appoint him the said John Farley 
my executor of this my last will and testament, and at the same time I do 
hereby ordain & appoint the said John Farley Testamental Guardian, both of the 
estates as well as of the persons of my son Aza Lowery, my son Lewis Lowery & 
my daughter Peggy Lowery till they arrive at the age of twenty one years.

Item 3rd Having during my lifetime given unto my Son in Law William Deason 
property to the amount of forty eight dollars, my will & desire is that that 
amount be deducted from his distributive share & equally divided among the 
rest of the legates & himself so as to make each ones part either as received 
or to be received equal

Item 4th As it may happen, that my Executor John Farley may from wanting to 
remove, wish to be discharged from his executor & Guardianship herein given, I 
do hereby give to him by & with the consent of my son Asa Lowery, my son Lewis 
Lowery & my daughter Peggy Lowery or such of them as may be under him as 
Guardian at that time, to appoint a Guardian for them & their effects who 
shall be executor of this my last will and testament in his [----] & stead, 
which appointment I hereby ratify & allow, as fully & effectually as if 
directly made by me. In witness whereof I the said James Lowery have hereunto 
set my hand & seal this day & date first above written.
Signed sealed & acknowledged
