Schedule "A" to Will

I will and desire to my said wife absolutely the furniture described in Schedule "A" which is hereto attached and made a part of this will. Most if not all of the property described in said schedule was purchased with her own money and justly and properly belongs to her, and it has always been my intention that she should have and keep and own the said articles named.

There have been some conveyances between me and my said wife, and these are not to be affected by this will, but it may be looked to in explanation. the end purpose being to do justice to her and to avoid any possible cause of litigation and I here beg of my wife, children and executor to use all means to avoid it.

I am the owner of the following described parcles[sic] of lands situated in said county and state to wit

Nineteen (19) acres on Sequatchie River known as the "Cow ford" tract.

Twenty Eight and one half (28 1/2) acres adjoining the lands of Mrs. Mary Coldwell and Col. Jaco Reece

Ninety four (94) acres more or less on the west side of the tract of land that formerly belonged to Mrs. C. C. Pinkney of Charleston, S.C. my wife owning the 94 acres on the East side of said land:

Nine (9) acres known as the spring lot lying on the south side of Jasper, west of the Rail Road and Town Creek and the spring branch running through it.

After the payment of my debts and the [?]special bequests heretofore made it is my will and I so devise that the lands last described as well as the remainder estate after my wifes death or the proceeds there of be divided equally among my children or their issue as follows to wit:
1st To my daughter Elizabeth Rawlings one 1 share.
2d To Mary Hoge my daughter one share.
3d To Thomas E. Alley and Marcellas M. Alley one share together, Each taking an equal part of the same.
4th To my son William A. Craighead one share.
5th To my daughter Adelia Redfield one share to be held by her and her children

In the event of the death of any of my children above named before my death the child or children will take the same as the parent would if living. Any personal property remaining after the payment of my debts and said special bequest will be divided in the same manner as the real estate or its proceeds.

All evidences of indebtedness which I may have at my death against my son Wm A. Craighead or son in law E. F. Redfield will be cancelled and held for nothing and the evidence thereof be delivered up to them if they so desire. the executor will take no account of the same as a part of my estate.

If during my life time I should acquire other lands either by exchange or purchase the same will fall to my Executor clothed with the same tract as above stated and to be divided in the same manner it being my intention to divide all of my estate and the same to pass to my Executor, except such as is herein devised to other parties.

I nominate and appoint W. Edgar Hoge my Executor of this my will and reposing confidence in his integrity and business capacity I expressly relieve him from giving bond with security and taking the oath directed by statutes. And believing it to be to the best interest of the legatees and divisors under my will that he have the full controll and management of the estate, I convey to him the legal title to the whole of the property owned by me at my death except such as is devised to him which shall hold and my wife with full authority to sell and make title to the same at all times exercising prudence and discretion in making sales for the best price attainable He may sell the personal property at public or private sale in the best manner possible always avoiding any unnecessary expense. he will be allowed a liberal compensation for his services.

My daughter Margaret M. died in Knox Co Tenn. without issue and is buried at a church called Lebanon in fork of French Broad and Holston Rivers. I desire that her grave be protected and cared for and if my Executor finds it necessary for this purpose he will use and apply a sufficient amount of the proceeds of my estate to enclose the grave and place a neat tombstone at it. Witness my hand this 8th day of April 1884

We the undersigned witness this will in the presence of and at the request of said T. G. Craighead the Testator in his presence and in the presence of each other this April 8th 1884
