WILL OF NANCY MAY - (1868) Jackson, Madison Co., Tenn. 
Will Book "A" Page 67

I, Nancy May, being now 77 years of age and feeling that I am rapidly 
declining have concluded to make this my Last Will and Testament. It is my 
wish, after my death that my land with all of my effects, be sold and 
divided among my six heirs as follows - to wit. That Mary Taylor, Nancy G. 
Bennett, the heirs of my sons Phillip and John May have an equal share in 
my property - also that Elizabeth Hutchison have an equal share, and then
to her children so as that it shall not be subject to the debts of W.C. 
Hutchison, her husband, in any respect whatever. It is my wish farther, 
that the heirs of my son William May have an equal Interest except C.E. 
May, who I wish not to be interested in my estate in the least. He being 
left out of my estate, will leave the last share one fifth less than the 
other shares - which one fifth is to be given to Elizabeth Hutchison and 
her children. Furthermore I wish that Benj. A. Hayes act as my Executor 
without security. February 14, 1867

Witnesses: John F. Hurt, Thos. B. Scinner?
Signed: Nancy (x - her mark) May
