Sumner County Court May Term May 2nd 1892.
A paper writing purporting to be the last Will and Testament of Lucinda Nuckolls deceased
was this day produced in open Court (and for probate)[seems that the clerk put the word "and" in
the wrong place] duly proven by the oaths of J. C. Gillespie and E. Harris the subscribing
witnesses thereto when the same was ordered recorded as said last Will and Testament of
Lucinda Nuckolls deceased.
A true copy.
Harris Brown Clerk
