The Will of John Henderson

I, John Henderson, being of sound mind but weak in body, do make this my last 
will and testament, hereby revoking al other wills by me at any time before 
made.

1st. 	I direct my Executor hereafter named to pay all my just debts.

2nd.	The whole of my estate of every description, after the payment of my 
debts, I give and bequeath to my beloved wife, Margaret, for and during her 
natural life and at her death I give the same to my son Leland Henderson to 
hold to him and his heirs & assigns forever.

3rd. I nominate my son Leland Henderson executor to this my will and request 
that he shall not be required by the County Court upon his qualification, to 
give the security required of executors by the acts of the General Assembly.

In witness whereof, I hereto subscribe my name and seal this the 5th day of 
July, 1849.

Testator						John Henderson (Seal)

	H. J. Donoho
	C. N. Bailey / Barley


Additional Comments:
Leland Henderson died prior to his mother leaving a wife of 4 years but no 
children. His wife outlived him by 4 days. I assume because of the laws of the 
day, her father inherited the estate. Leland's siblings bought his interst in 
land and slaves. There are many documents relating to this estate, most of 
which I have copies.
