WILLIAM JONES Will



I, WILLIAM JONES of Blount County, Tenn, being of sound mind and disposing 

memory, do make, publish and declare this to be my last will and testament, 

hereby revoking and making void any former will by me at any time made.



First: I give and devise to my beloved wife, RUTH JONES all my real estate, 

situated in the 5th Civil District of Blount County, Tennessee, for and during 

her natural life, and her death said land is disposed of and devised as 

follows:



1. I devise to my grandchildren, SHIRLY JONES and ORPHA [?] JONES, children of 

my son S.H. JONES, fifty acres, more or less, beginning in the corner of 

IGNATIUS JONES, near the top of the ridge and running thence a straight line 

by a big chestnut on the top of the ridge to the Friendsville road, thence 

with the Friendsville road to the Clover Hill road, thence with the lines of 

M.A. LANE, J.C. EDMONDSON and IGNATIUS JONES to the beginning.



2. I devise to my grandchildren, FREDERIC JONES, ODAVA [?] JONES, and JOSEPH 

C. JONES, children of my son W.L. JONES, thirty five acres, more or less, 

beginning in a corner, near a big chestnut below the _____ and near where W.D. 

PEIRCE now lives and running a straight line in a southern direction through 

the pond and with the Friendsville road to M.A. LANES corner near the forks of 

the Big Springs and Friendsville road, thence unto M.A. LANE and JAMES PHELPS 

to corner on the ridge near PHELPS house, thence a direct line to S.J. LANES, 

thence unto said lane and SARAH A. MOORE to the beginning. But it is provided 

that in case all of said children should die without leaving issue, then their 

share shall go to my lawful heirs.



3. The remainder of all my real estate I devise to my son IGNATIUS JONES on 

his paying to my son E.G. JONES two hundred dollars to be due in on year after 

my death. It is also provided that in case of my death and the death of my 

wife, occurring before the year 1903, then my son IGNATIUS JONES shall have 

the possession of all my lands, with all the servts and profit until the the 

said year, 1903, and at which time should myself and my wife not be living, 

the devises of said land shall be entitled to the possession of the parts 

herein divided to others.



Second. I give and bequeath to my daughter, MARTHESA PERVICE, one bureau, now 

on hand at my house. This with what I have already given her makes her part of 

my estate.



Third. I direct that my Executor dispose of all my personal estate in such way 

and in such manner as he may think best, he paying all my debts and funeral 

expenses. 



Fourth. I nominate and appoint my son, IGNATIUS JONES, Executor of this my 

last will and testament.



In witness whereof I have hereunto subscribed my name in the presence of the 

subscribing witnesses, this November 29, 1895.



WILLIAM JONES
