I, Emiline Rogers<\/span> of the County of Hawkins and State of Tennessee, do make and publish this my last Will and Testament hereby revoking and making void all former wills by me at any time made.<\/p>\n First. I direct that my body be decently interred at Robert Rogers<\/span>‘ in said county in a manner suitable to my condition in life and that my funeral expenses be paid as soon after my decease as possible out of any money that I may die possessed of or may first come into the hands of my Executor from any portion of my Estate, real or personal.<\/p>\n Secondly. I give and bequeath to my only son Anderson C. Rogers<\/span> the remainder of all my Estate real or personal consisting of notes and receipts and one rone mare, a quantity of sheep with household and kitchen furniture.<\/p>\n My wish and desire is that all my Estate shall be sold, every part thereof on a credit of twelve months, and the money loaned at interest and that my Executors renew the notes every twelve months for the benefit of my only son Anderson C. Rogers<\/span> who was born the 25th day of May, 1851.<\/p>\n Thirdly. It is my will and desire that my son Anderson C. Rogers<\/span> remain and live with my mother until he is 21 years old provided she lives until that time,<\/p>\n and if she should die before my son arrives at the age of 21, I want my son to live with Prurlee Pearson<\/span> provided he Prurlee<\/span> has a home and is settled,<\/p>\n and if he has not a home, I want my son to live with my sister Catherine Burton<\/span>, if she has a home.<\/p>\n If not with Matison Cope<\/span> and his wife Jane<\/span>.<\/p>\n Fourthly. It is my wish and desire for John H. Pearson<\/span> to be Guardian of my son until Prurlee Pearson<\/span> arrives at the age of 21 years, then my wish is that Prurlee Pearson<\/span> be appointed Guardian in place of John H. Pearson<\/span>.<\/p>\n Fifthly. It is my wish and desire in case my son Anderson C. Rogers<\/span> should die before he arrives at the age of 21 years, that my beloved mother Elizabeth Pearson<\/span>, if living, shall have my entire Estate,<\/p>\n and if she is not living, then to be equally divided between my brothers and sisters that may be living.<\/p>\n And, lastly, I appoint my friend John H. Pearson<\/span> my Executor of this my last Will and Testament.<\/p>\n In testimony whereof I, Emaline Rogers<\/span> have set my hand and seal This 8th day of November, 1856.<\/p>\n Emeline Rogers<\/p>\n Attest:<\/p>\n John Starnes This Hawkins County Will was transcribed by one of the following volunteers: Audrae Mathis; Gary Fletcher; Betty Mize; Diana Arney; Karen Negron, Kathey Welder.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Will Book ___, Page 428 Proven in Part Aug. & Sept, 1857 (Rec’d p. 67 and p. 81) I, Emiline Rogers of the County of Hawkins and State of Tennessee, do make and publish this my last Will and Testament …<\/span> Continue reading →<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[42],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1889","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-transcribed-wills"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tngenweb.org\/hawkins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1889","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tngenweb.org\/hawkins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tngenweb.org\/hawkins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tngenweb.org\/hawkins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tngenweb.org\/hawkins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1889"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/tngenweb.org\/hawkins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1889\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1890,"href":"https:\/\/tngenweb.org\/hawkins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1889\/revisions\/1890"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tngenweb.org\/hawkins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1889"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tngenweb.org\/hawkins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1889"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tngenweb.org\/hawkins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1889"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
