Will of Jesse W. Jones Decd.

In the name of God Amen.  I Jesse W. Jones of Charlottesville Va, being of 
sound mind and body, do make this to be my last will and testament, as follows 
(that is to say) I desire that my body be buried at the direction of my present 
Wife and I desire that all my just debts be paid out of my personal estate and 
debts due to me, so soon after my decease as may be convenient.  First I give 
and bequeath unto my dear wife Mary Frances, in testimony of my sincere __?__ 
and affection for her, all the property of every description such as negroes etc 
which she has or may receive from her father�s estate and in my possession at 
the time of my decease.  She shall have a full and perfect right to all such 
property.  I also give and bequeath to her the house and lot in Charlottesville 
which we occupy, during her natural life and at her decease to be sold and 
divided amongst my children as herein after specified.

As I have information to induce me to believe that my daughter Maria (who 
intermarried with J. W. Payne) will be much more liberally provided for by 
her Grandmother than the other children, I give and bequeath to her the sum 
of one hundred dollars only.  I give and bequeath to my daughter Mary (who 
intermarried with J. N. Perkins) the sum of one thousand dollars, and to be 
equal with the other three children herein after named in the residue of my 
estate.  I desire that the portion to which my other children, to wit, Jesse, 
Annie and Emma, may be entitled to shall be placed in the hands of my dear wife 
and for her to have the care of them and their funds and of their tuition and to 
act as guardian for them without being required to give any security for any money 
that may come into her hands for them.  And I do hereby nominate and appoint 
John N. Perkins to be executor of this my last will and testament and desire 
that he may be allow to qualify and act as such without giving security.

I do hereby revoke and make void all former and other will or wills by me at 
any time or times heretofore made and do hereby declare these presents to be 
and contain my last will and testament.  In witness whereof I have set my hand 
and seal this 14th day of May 1862.

Jesse W. Jones

I do not charge any of my children with anything I may have given them before 
my death.  The $1000 for my daughter Mary is to be paid to her and then she 
is to have equal of the balance.  May 14th 1862  J. W. Jones
