Will of Isham Reavis August 16, 1824 as written

This indenture made August the sixteenth and in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and twenty four, Isham Reavis. Calling to mind the mortality of man so I make this my last will and testament and do renounce all other wills.

And first recommended my soul unto the hand of Almighty God, who gave it to me, to be decently buried at the descression of my children. And what worldly goods it hath pleased God to give me, I wish to dispose of in the following manner.

My just debts and and all my funeral expenses paid and then I lend to my beloved wife all those things I had with her, if to be found, also one bed, furniture, one horse, one cow and calf, one sow and pigs, one axe, one hoe, and all the rest of my children, girls and boys to be made near equal as near as possible.

Edward Reavis &500.00.

Charles Reavis is not my son, he has one horse I gave him and now I give him one cow and calf and no more,

William Reavis I hire to his brother for Edward two years, for somewhere about 9.00

Solomon Reavis 0.00

Rebeckah Potter, my daughter .00

Martha Strickling .00

My will is that William Reavis, Solomon Reavis and two girls have as much as the first four boys, viz and then equally divided among the rest boys and girls, Charles Reavis, is not my son.

I constitute and appoint Solomon Reavis as my sole Executor.

Free Ginger and Patient.

Isham Reavis
