Will of Nancy Jarrell Reid

State of Georgia, Taliaferro County.
I, Nancy Reid, of said State and County, being of sound and disposing mind and 
memory, do make this my last will and testament.  

Item 1st: - I give, bequeath and devise to my grand-children, Ella Reid Hall, 
Nannie Leverett Hall, Sarah Lois Hall, and Thomas Stocks Hall, children of my 
daughter, Ann C. Hall, all my property, real, personal and mixed, of every 
description, of which I may die seized and possessed; or of which I may have 
the right of possession or ownership at the time of my death.  

Item 2nd: - I hereby constitute my said daughter Executrix of this my last will 
and testament; and also trustee for my said grand-children; with full power to 
manage and control for the benefit of said children all of the property 
hereinbefore bequeathed to them; with power to sell and reinvest the same for 
their benefit, either at public or private sale and without obtaining any order 
of Court for the purposes of such sale and reinvestment; and also with full 
power to use the proceeds of such property, both the income and corpus if 
necessary, for the support and maintenance and education of said children 
without obtaining any order of Court for such use of said corpus.  I further 
empower my said daughter as trustee aforesaid, to keep said property together 
and in  her control for the benefit of said children, if she deems proper, till 
the youngest one of said children arrives at the age of twenty one years; when 
said property or its proceeds shall be equally divided among my said grand-
children share and share alike, who shall have an absolute, fee simple estate 
therein.  

Item 3rd: - I hereby relieve my said daughter, Anna C. Hall, from making any 
returns as Executrix of this will and as Trustee for said children.  In the 
event I should survive my said daughter, then it is my desire that my son, 
Redden J. Reid, shall be Executor of this my will, and trustee for my said 
grand-children; with the same powers, privileges and duties as such Executor 
and trustee, as are hereinbefore empowered upon my said daughter.

Additional Comments:
(Note:  This will was written in 1881 at which time her daughter, Anna (Reid) 
Hall, was still living.  However, Nancy outlived her daughter by a good 20 
years.)  

Nancy Jarrell Reid was born March 1812, Greene Co., GA, died August 19, 1906, 
Taliaferro Co., GA and is buried at Crawfordville Baptist Cemetery.  She was 
daughter of Redden Jarrell and Martha Peek.  Nancy was married February 6, 
1828, Greene Co., GA, to William Reid.  The 1900 census shows that Nancy was
