     Know all to whom it may concern that I, William G. Anderson, on the 27th 
day of September one thousand eight hundred and seventy three in the county of 
Jackson, state of Tennessee, being in my right mind do make and publish my 
last will and testament.  First I direct that my body be decently interred in 
a manner suitable to my condition in life as to my worldly estate as it hath 
pleased God to intrust me with, I dispose of as follows:
     First, I will and bequeath to my beloved wife, Sarah N. Anderson, all my 
land estate during her natural life.
     Second, my property to be sold to pay my debts except my colt, I will and 
bequeath to my grandson, William N. Anderson.
     Third, I will and bequeath to my wife, S.N. Anderson, so much of the 
money that my son, John S. Anderson, owes me for the land I sold him as she 
may need in her lifetime, and the rest to be divided equally among my 
children.  If my son, John S. Anderson, fails to pay for the land, it is to be 
sold at my beloved wife Sarah N. Anderson's death by my administrators.
     Fourth, I will and bequeath and appoint and make as my administrators and 
executors to attend to my affairs Allen Deatherage and N.K. Anderson, my son, 
and the above administrators to pay all my debts.  
     Fifth, I also will and bequeath that at my wife's death that my lands be 
sold to the highest bidder and the money equally divided amongst my beloved 
children or heirs and that my beloved son, Noah K. Anderson to take special 
care of my wife, his mother, her lifetime for which I, W.G. Anderson, his 
father, have compensated him and I will that my son N.K. Anderson does the 
best he can with my grandson, Horace W. Anderson, and try to get him to mind 
him and learn him to work and school him the best he can as before said at my 
wife's death and all my land and property to be sold and equally divided 
amongst my children except my son, L.S. Anderson and my daughter Mary E. 
Cooper, provided they pay for the land I sold them, the rest of the children 
to first get as much as I give them, and the land I sold them if they do not 
pay for the land as it falls back to the estate and sold by my administrators 
and the money divided equally amongst all the children and I will and bequeath 
that my administrators get an order or decree from the county court to sell my 
land and property after my wife's death and say there shall be do division in 
my land estate until the death of my beloved wife, Sarah N. Anderson.
     Signed , dated and published in the presence of us whom have subscribed
