John P. CHAMBERS Last Will and Testament

In the name of God Amen
I John CHAMBERS of Robertson County State of Tennessee
Knowing it is allotted for all men to die and after that to Judgement I 
publish this my last Will and Testament. First as my loving wife has deceased 
and no one any right to inherit any of my worldly inheritance but my lawful 
Creditor and my lawful heirs therefore I wish my estate to be divided after 
the following manner:
1st/First I have gave to my daughter Fanny ADAMS seventy five dollars which 
has been paid to her.
2nd I have gave to my daughter Jane HENLEY one hundred and thirty three 
dollars.
3 I have gave to my son James H. CHAMBERS two hundred and nineteen dollars and 
ninety four cents.
4 I have gave my son Goolsberry CHAMBERS one hundred and ninety three dollars 
and sixty cents.
5 To my son Clement CHAMBERS eighty eight dollars.
6 To my daughter Elizabeth HENLEY eighty dollars.
7 To my son Hyram CHAMBERS I have gave one hundred and forty dollars and sixty 
four cents.
8 I have gave my daughter Mary JERNIGAN one hundred and thirty one dollars & 
sixty four cents. And I have further advanced by loaning money to Geo ADAMS 
the lawful interest the sum of one hundred and sixty one dollars & sixty seven 
cents which I add to the share of Fanny ADAMS which makes the sum of two 
hundred and thirty six dollars and sixty seven cents. Next and lastly I wish 
order my Executor to sell at public auction to sell all my real personal and 
perishable property on a twelve months credit or as my Executor may seem to 
them most advisable collect and distribute the same first pay all my just 
debts if any next pay to each of my heirs an equal share or moiety agreeable 
to what each one has had distributed and paid to them while living. Also give 
the share or moiety of my daughter Fanny ADAMS Deceased to her children 
severally as they become of age their proportional parts of five whole & share 
equally to be divided between them to be paid to them or their Guardians or 
Representatives agreeably to law. With the whole of the estate equally divided 
and paid to the rest of children before mentioned share and share. Next I 
appoint my son Clement CHAMBERS and Lemuel HENLEY my lawful Executors to 
execute this my last will and testament In testimony whereof I have hereunto 
set my hand and seal this 24 of March 1842.
