Know all men by these presents, that William TODD of the County of Weakley  and State of Tennessee, being weak in body strength, but sound and perfect in  mind and memory, doth make and publish my last will and testament, revoking  and making void others by me at any other time made in the name of God, and  it is my will and desire that my Executor hereafter named shall pay off all  of my lawful debts as soon as possible after my death out of any moneys that  may come to their hands. Secondly, it is my will that my beloved wife Eliza  TODD, shall have all my land and plantation, all of my slaves, to wit, Jorisy  Ann, a negro girl; Miriah, a girl; Morretter, a girl; Pricilla, a girl; and  Franky, a woman; all of my stock of horses, cattle, hogs and sheep, all of my  farming utensils, to have during her natural life.  Also my house and kitchen  furniture, and everything else that is in my plantation that she may want to  keep during her life, but it is my will and desire that my wife give off to  my son Samuel W. TODD, at any time after my death, property sufficient to  make him equal with what I have given off to my three children, that has  married off, and it is also my will that my son John C. TODD shall have a  horse, saddle and bridle, and property or money sufficient to make him equal  with my other children at any time when my wife does cause to give it over to  him or when he wants it.  I want my Executors hereafter mentioned, to take  all my notes and accounts and collect them, and put them in interest during my wife's lifetime.  It is my will that my Executors shall at any time let  her have what money she may want or stand in need of at all times, and it is my will and desire after my wife's death, that all my estate, both real or personal estate of every description, shall be equally divided among my five children, George S. TODD and my son-in-law Thomas J. LOVELACE and his wife Mary Ann; and my son William M. TODD; and my son Samuel TODD, and my son John C. TODD.  Now I do nominate and appoint my loving son-in-law Thomas J. LOVELACE, and my son William M. TODD, my Executors, to this my last will and testament, making all others null and void by me at any time made. 

In testimony whereunto set my hand and sealed, signed and acknowledged in our  presents this the twenty-second day of January one thousand eight hundred and  fifty-six.
