Last Will and Testament of Henry Bogart, deceased

In the name of God, Amen:

I, Henry Bogart of the County of Loudon, State of 
Tennessee being of sound  and  disposing mind, and 
memory, do make and publish this as my last will and 
testament, hereby revoking and making void all  wills 
by me at any time  heretofore made.

First, It is my will and desire that all my just 
debts and funeral expenses shall be paid as soon 
after my death as practicable, out of any money I may 
have at the time of my death or out of the first that 
may be received  by my executor.

Second, I will and desire to my beloved wife Lucinda 
Bogart, (should she survive me) for and during the 
term of her natural life one third of all the real 
estate I may own at the date of my death. The one 
third so devised to my wife shall be allotted to her 
so as to include my dwelling house, out buildings __ 
should she so desire.

Third,  I will, bequeath and devise to William W. 
Bogart, Henry M. Bogart, Nancy Webb, Elizabeth Fry, 
Mary Evaline Wilson, Margaret L. Eldridge, Lucinda 
Wilson, and the children of my deceased son Hiram 
Bogart, all of the rest and residue of the property I 
may own at the time of my death, of what kind or 
nature so ever real personal and mixed and choses in 
action. The property in this clause devised , is to 
be so divided, that each of my above named  children  
shall receive one eighth thereof and the children of 
my deceased son Hiram, jointly one eighth.

Fourth, Should my wife survive me and take under the 
second clause of this my will it is my wish and I do 
here so direct and devise that after her death the 
third of my real estate limited  to her for life, 
shall be divided among the devises named in the third 
clause, in the same proportions as the property 
therein  disposed of—that is, each of my said 
children shall receive one eighth and my said grand-
children, jointly, one eighth.

Fifth, Should either of my children above named die 
during my life time it is my will that the share of  
such one shall go to his or  her child or children; 
but if either should die without child or children 
living at his or her death, then the shares provided 
herein for the one who may so pre-decease me shall go 
to my other children and grand-children mentioned in 
the third clause and to be divided as therein 
indicated. As to my said grand-children I give to 
them as a class and  should either die* before the 
property herein given rests* the survivors are to 
take.

Sixth,  It is my wish and I here declare it to be my 
will that neither my daughter Jane Brazeale nor her 
husband Willis L. Brazeale shall have any part or 
parcel of the estate I may own at my death—they 
having already received more than either of my other 
children and certainly more than they deserve. 

Lastly,  I nominate and appoint Henry M. Bogart 
Executor of this my last will and testament.
The interlineation in the fifth clause was done 
before signing.
In witness whereon I do to this my last will set my 
hand and seal. This the 12th day of  September 1871.
