Will of Hiram Jones

I, Hiram Jones, of the county and State aforesaid, being of sound mind 
and memory, do make this my last will and testament.  First, I give my 
soul to God who gave it, and my body to its mother dust, being decently 
buried.

SECONDLY.  I want my beloved wife, Sara Jones, and the heirs of her body to
have my whole estate, both real and personal, during her lifetime or
widowhood, after the payment of my just debts.

THIRD, If she intermarries, I want the whole of my estate to go to her
children.

FOURTH.  I want the property to be in her care to work for her support and
maintenance of child.

FIFTH.  I want my brother, Gabriel Jones, to assist my wife, Sarah, in 
taking my will to court and have it recorded and make settlements with 
them that hold debts against me out of my estate.

In witness whereof I have set my hand and seal this 11th day of 
September 1844

					Signed Hiram Jones
