WILL OF JULIUS CLARK
UPSON COUNTY, GA
DATED APRIL 19, 1838
RECORDED MAY 16, 1838



I give and bequeath to my friend, Simeon Rogers, in
trust for Milly Thompson, a motherless little girl
whom I have been sending to school the present year,
the sum of six hundred dollars which amount I
request my executors to pay over to said trustee as
early as practicable, the interest and annual income
of which amount I require to be applied to the
education, clothing and boarding of said child to be
expended by her said trustee before named, hereby
asking my friend, the said Simeon Rogers, to watch
over and protect the said child and see that said
income of said sum of money be properly applied to
the use aforesaid that she may become an ornament
and useful member of society, and hereby giving to
the said trustee full power and authority to appoint
a successor to himself as trustee in the event of it
being necessary by his death, removal or otherwise,
provided that John Thompson, the father of said
child be never permitted to be her trustee nor have
the use, control or management of said sum or any
portion thereof in any manner whatever and I hereby
give her said trustee full power and authority at
his discretion when the said Milly Thompson shall
have arrived at the age of twenty-one years or shall
marry or sooner if he shall think it proper to
invest the said sum of six hundred dollars in a
Negro girl or woman for the use and benefit of the
said Milly Thompson and at his discretion to settle
the same so that the principal cannot be spent and
that she may derive the full use and benefit from
the income thereof and in the event of the said
Milly Thompson dying without legal issue or without
marrying then the above amount bequeathed in trust
to her to go to my nephew, William Henry Clark, son
of my brother Henry Clark and his heirs forever.


I give and bequeath to my sister, Amelia Clark, now
living with my father in Brooklyn, Connecticut as a
token of my paternal regard and affection to her and
her heirs forever my gold (unreadable word) watch.


I give and bequeath to my brother Henry Clark of
Connecticut my man slave, William, a mechanic by
trade, and request his good treatment to him and it
is my request that my said brother, Henry, should
move to the south and in the event of my said
brother wishing to sell said slave I request that he
will permit him to select his own master and to sell
to a good and kind master, preferring however that
he would move south and would keep him himself
believing that it would be more congenial to his
health and that said boy would pay him a better
amount of interest than the same amount of capital
otherwise invested to have him and to his heirs and
assigns forever and as an inducement for my said
brother to move to the south and on condition that
he will do I give and bequeath to him for the space
of five years without interest the sum of two
thousand dollars and at the expiration of said five
years said sum of money to be equally divided
between my brothers and sisters (ten in number,
himself included) share and share alike to them and
their heirs and assigns forever, said sum of two
thousand dollars proposed to be loaned to my said
brother as capital for the purpose of enabling him
to carry on any business he may wish in the event of
his moving to the south as before requested and in
the event of his not moving to the south the said
sum of two thousand dollars to remain with my other
effects not herein before bequeathed to be disposed
of as hereinafter mentioned.


Having been long absent from my place of nativity
and so long absent from my relations I am unable to
discriminate as to their particular or individual
wants and necessities wishing as I do leave what of
the effects of this world I have in such a way as
would be of most service to my relations having
regard to their respective situations but in that
regard being ignorant I give and bequeath the
balance of my effects both real and personal not
herein before already bequeathed to my five brothers
and five sisters (Henry Clark, David Clark, George
Clark, Charles Clark, John Clark and to my five
sisters Amelia Clark, Artemetia, Wife of Jonathan
Kingsbury, Elizabeth, wife of Samuel Nourse,
Pauline, wife of D. T. Huntington, Emily, wife of
Elihu Gallup.


Note:  On January 11, 1840 Simeon Rogers received
from Henry Clark, executor of the will, $600 as
trustee for Milly Thompson.
