In the Name of God, Amen.

I Michael Click of Hawkins County and State of Tennessee, being weak of body, but of perfect mind and memory, Thanks be given to God. & calling unto mind the mortality of my body and knowing that it is appointed unto all men once to die, do make and ordain this my last will and Testament:

That is to say, principally and first of all, I give and recommend my soul unto the hand of Almighty God that gave it and my body I recommend to the earth to be buried in decent Christian burial at the discretion of my Executors, nothing doubting but at the general resurrection I shall receive the same again by the mighty power of God, and as touching such worldly estate wherewith it has pleased God to bless me in this life, I give devise and dispose of in the following manner, and:

First. I give and bequeath to my three daughters, viz: Margaret, Elizabeth and Katharine all my cattle, sheep hogs, beds, clothing and all household furniture. Also, one bay mare known by the name of Cate, to be equally divided among them (My sons John, George, Michael and Matthias have all received their shares).

Also, I give to my son Jacob all my land including the plantation whereon I now live and two small tracts adjoining it, and one sorrel filly; also all my farming utensils out of which he will pay all my lawful debts and provide for and furnish his mother with everything necessary to her comfort and support during her live, leaving her to possess my new dwelling house, garden, &c.

Lastly. I constitute and ordain my wife Margaret Click, my son Jacob Click, and Jesse Huggard my sole Executors of this my last will and testament.

And I do hereby utterly disallow, revoke and disannul all and every other former testament or will obligation, &c by me in any way before named, willed or bequeathed, verifying and confirming this and no other to be my last will and testament.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal. This twenty eighth of July in the year of our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and fourteen.

Michael [X] Click (seal) (his mark)

Signed, sealed published, pronounced and declared by the said Michael Click as his last will and testament in the presence of us who in his presence and in the presence of each other have hereunto subscribed our names.
