Will of Polly Drake
Recorded August 3, 1874

I, Polly Drake, of the County of Davidson and State of Tennessee, being in 
feeble health, but of sound, disposing mind and memory hereby make this my 
last will and testament. Viz
I give and bequeath to my daughter Harriet Ledbetter all by household and 
kitchen furniture of every description save one feather bed and furniture 
which I give to my granddaughter Mary Lizzie Walton. I also give to Harriet my 
new rockaway, and sorrel horse, Lad. My stock of hogs, I wish to be equally 
divided between my son Jno. and my daughter Harriet. I give to my 
granddaughter Mary Ella, one cow and to my daughter Harriet the other cow, 
calf and yearling. My mule I wish and will to be sold, and the purchase money 
to be equally divided among my three children Joh, Susannah and Harriet. The 
balance of the money that I may have after the payments of my debts, I will to 
be equally divided between my two daughters, Susannah and Harriet. My 
plantation utensils I wish to be equally divided between my son John and 
Harriet. To my son Benjamin, and granddaughter Frances, having as I conceive, 
received a larger share of my husbands estate than the other heirs, I have 
bequeathed nothing.

Witness my hand this 18th Sept, Anno Domino 1867.

Polly (her mark) Drake
