Will of George Naught

In the name of God Amen
I, George Naught beingin a low state of health but in my perfect mind and
memory and knowing that it is ordained for all men to die, do make this my
last will and testament. 

In the first place I appoint and constitute Jesse Reno my lawful executor. 

Secondly, I desire that all my goods and chattles shall be sold and my just
debts paid out of the amount therof. 

Thirdly, I desire that the remainder of my estate after my debts are paid
shall be equally divided among my children. Namely, Mary McCarlis, William
Naught, Elizabeth McQuillin, George Naught, Isaac Naught, Sally Naught, Ruth
Naught, and Thomas Naught. 

Fourthly, I give and bequeath unto Mary and Thomas five shillings. 

Item, I further desire that a certain sorrel horse that I purchased of David
Thomas shall be sold if the said Thomas does not pay the required sum
mentioned in the bill of sale on the day specified in the bill of sale. 

Item, I further desire that Jesse Reno shall take all my property in
possession immediatelyafter my death and proceed to act as this my last will
directs.                        George Naught  ( seal )
