Will of Mrs. Candis WINSTON, deceased

I Candace WINSTON of the county of Weakley and state of Tennessee make and ordain this my last will and testament, hereby revoking all other wills by me heretofore made.  I will to R.E. JETER for the purpose of educating my three youngest children, to wit, David S. WINSTON, Elizabeth A. WINSTON and John WINSTON,  the sum of two hundred dollars each, and I direct that the said R.E. JETER shall apply same sums of money strictly to the education of said children, and the education and control of the children be placed under his control until said sums of money be exhausted.  My reason for making the above bequest is that my husband David WINSTON, late of Weakley County, Tennessee, deceased, loaned to me by will for life all of his estate, both personal and real estate, with terms that I should raise and educate his and my children, and whereas I have raised and educated our elder children, but have been unable to complete the education of our three youngest children, owing to their infancy, and anticipate that I should not live to educate them, do make the above bequest.  Secondly, I will that the remainder of my property be equally divided between all my children.  In testimony whereof, I hereunto set my hand and seal this July 15th 1856,
Test:
M. LYNN
