Will Book __, Page 257<\/p>\n
In the Name of God, Amen.<\/p>\n
I Benjamin Hutchisson <\/b>of the County of Hawkins, State of Tennessee, being of sound mind and disposing memory, but somewhat feeble in body, do make and publish this my last Will and Testament.<\/p>\n
First. It is my wish and desire that the expenses attending my death and burial shall be paid out of any money or property that I may have at the time of my death, as soon after my death as practicable.<\/p>\n
Second. It is my wish and desire that my son Rudolph<\/b> shall have a young bay horse that he now uses called Rover, together with all the money that he has in his hands of mine — the money for which he sold my property.<\/p>\n
Third. It is my will and desire that my grand daughter Margaret<\/b>, daughter of Rudolph<\/b>, shall be furnished by my daughter Rebecca<\/b> with a good bed, bedstead and furniture when she arrives at the age of eighteen.<\/p>\n
Fourthly. It is my wish and desire that my daughter Rebecca <\/b>shall have all my land consisting of 150 acres, together with all my personal property, books, papers, &c, but in case Rebecca<\/b> should die before my grand daughter Margaret<\/b> arrives at the age of eighteen, Wm. Hutchisson<\/b> and Henry Watterson<\/b> should dispose of my property as they may see proper, and furnish to Margaret <\/b>the property to wit: the bed and furniture.<\/p>\n
Fifth. It is my wish and desire that William Hutchisson<\/b> shall be my Executor without security.<\/p>\n
In testimony whereof I hereunto set my hand and seal This 13th day of October, one thousand, eight hundred and forty nine,<\/p>\n
Benjn Hutchisson<\/b><\/p>\n
in presence of:<\/p>\n
H. Watterson
\nThomas T. Barrett<\/b><\/p>\n
