Georgia, Clarke County
I Susan B. Savage by the Grace of God, Amen.
I Susan B. Savage of Athens in the County and State aforesaid being sound in 
mind and body, and of dispensing memory do make and ordain this my last will 
and testament, hereby revoking all other wills heretofore made by me.

1st--I give to my son Robert A. Ware two Negro boys, one by the name of Dover
(?) and the other by the name of Joe, the two oldest sons of Mary Bugg.

2nd--I give to my son Nicholas Ware four hundred dollars in money.

3rd--I give to my daughter Susan M. Epps four hundred dollars in money.

4th--I give to my daughter Caroline Virginia Head, now a widow, and her 
daughter Susan E. Papy, formerly Susan E. Head, wife of Matthew Papy, for 
their sale and separate use during life and then to their children in fee, one 
undivided half and majority of all that City lot in the City of Atlanta in 
Fulton County in said State, known and distinguished in the plan of said City 
as the Northern half of lots Nos. two and three, with fourteen feet in width 
from the Southern half of said two lots, two ????? running the whole length of 
said lots from Prior Street to Loyd Street, added in Block twenty-four (24) 
and bounded on the West by Prior Street, on the South by the southern parts of 
said lots two & three, on the East by Loyd Street, and on the North by lots 
one and four of the same block twenty four (24) containing one acre more or 
less bought of Phinezy(?) and Clayton of Augusta whose bond(?) for title I now 
hold.  My will in this item being that the undivided half and majority that I 
give to my granddaughter, Susan E. Papy, shall be vested in her husband, 
Matthew Papy, as her trustee during her life, and then to her children, share 
and share alike, and in like manner the undivided half and majority, which I 
give to my daughter for life is to vest in her as long as she remains a widow 
and in the event of her marriage then in her husband as her trustee during 
life & then to her children, share and share alike.

5th--I give to my two daughters, Mary Ann L. Veitch and Carolina Virginia Head 
all the balance of my estate of every kind after the payment of my debts, 
including a debt of fifteen hundred dollars due to my daughter, Mary Ann L. 
Veitch.  My will is that Mary Ann L. Veitch shall have her half in absolute 
fee simple and that my daughter Caroline Virginia Head hold her half while she 
remains a widow, but should she marry, then her husband is to hold the same as 
her trustee for her sale and separate use during her natural life, & then to 
her children, share and share alike.

6th--I make no provision for my son Thomas C. Ware's daughter in consequence 
of the peculiar attitude of the child to my family which I need not now 
explain.

7th--I nominate and appoint my son, Robert A. Ware, executor of this my last 
will and testament without bond or security.

8th--I desire my executor to sell my house and lot in Athens, Clarke County, 
Georgia, if not sold before my death for the purpose of satisfying all my 
debts and money bequests.  And if the proceeds of the sale are not sufficient 
to cover these demands, it is my desire that my executor shall keep my Negroes 
hired out for one year to make up the deficiency.

In witness whereof I have hereunto lent my hand and seal this eleventh day of 
February, eighteen hundred and sixty two.
