Will Book __, Page 8

In the Name of God, Amen.

I, Deborah Alexander of the County of Hawkins in the State of Tennessee, being weak of body but of sound mind and memory, do make and ordain this my last Will and Testament.

I recommend my soul to Almighty God, and as to my worldly estate, I make my youngest and beloved son Dicks Alexander my sole heir and bequeath unto him all that I possess, consisting principally of a Note of Hand on my son William Alexander for $1,248.77, on which several payments have been made, and all that my son Dicks has received on said note — which note is dated Seventh of June, 1808, and secured by a mortgage on real estate dated One July, 1808 by William Alexander.

Also, a Bond executed by Amos Farquhar and Jonathon Jessop of the Borough of York in the County of York, State of Pennsylvania, for $554.00, to secure the payment of $277.375, dated September 13, 1815.

Also, a Note or Bill single executed by Jonathon Jessop of York, Pennsylvania for the sum of Fifty Pounds and dated 13 June, 1809.

And lastly. I appoint my beloved son Dicks Alexander my sole Executor.

In testimony whereof I have hereto set my hand and seal this Twenty Third day of December, Year of our Lord, One Thousand Eight Hundred, Twenty Seven.

Deborah Alexander (seal)
