Will Book 2
1824 - 1854
| Page
15 Being about to leave home on a trading expedition and knowing that at some time we all have to die, I have thought proper to make some arrangements preparatory to that event. Being somewhat involved I know that deprived of my exertions it would be possible for my wife to pay my debts out of my personal Estate. It is therefore by wish that my Executor should in case of my death sell at private sale or public as he may think most to the Interest of my family either my house and lott in New Albany or the land whereon I now live or both if necessary for the payment of my Debts but if by the collection of what is due me from my Brother Samuel and some small Debts with the lott above named and my crop and other things that can be spared from my family the Debts can be paid and save the land on which I live, it is my wish it should be done but still should the Father of my wife remove from where he now lives and my wife should wish to remove to the same part or should her Father think it best to sell the tract and purchase some other for her I wish him to do so, which land shall be property of her and my children in the same manner that the land I now own is. I also hereby empower my Executor to make any settlement with Thos. Smart who owns a part of the tract on which I live that he thinks advisable either personally or by arbitration. I think it unnecessary to be particular about my personal Estate having full confidence in my Executor that he will reserve said things as are necessary for the case and convenience of my family but a negro woman called Lydda given to my wife by her father, I never wish her to be disposed of on any pretext whatever. I commit the case of my infants to their dear Mother and grandfather not doubting their tendency. Lastly I do appoint my Father in law Mr. N. Richardson Executor of this my last will. In Testimony whereof I have hereto set my hand and seal this 15th day of July 1826. Charles Hall
