Will, GA, Hancock, Richard Hollomon 1798

In the name of God, Amen.

I, RICHARD HOLLOMON, of the state of Georgia and county of Hancock, planter,
being in a low state of health, and of perfect mind and memory, thanks be
given unto God. Calling unto mind the Mortality of my body, and knowing that
it is appointed for all men once to die, do make and ordain this my last will
and testament, that is to say;

Principally and first of all I give and do recommend my soul into the hands of
Almighty God that gave it, and my body I recommend to the earth to be buried
in decent Christian burial at the discretion of my children and friends,
nothing doubting, but at General Resurrection I shall receive the same again,
by the mighty power of God.

And, as touching such worldly estate wherewith it has pleased God to bless me
in this life, I give, dismiss and dispose of the same in the following manner
and form:

First I give and bequeath to SARAH CURTON, my beloved daughter, one dollar and
fifty cents.

Also I give to HARMON HOLLOMON, my beloved son, one dollar and fifty cents.

Also I give CHARITY RACHEL my beloved daughter, one dollar and fifty cents.

Also I give WILLIAM HOLLOMON, my beloved son, a tract of land on Little
Ogeechee, whereon I now live, containing one hundred acres, my well beloved
wife [ASPTIL] HARPY, to have possession on said land, during her widowhood and
then the said WILLIAM to have full possession of said land, also I give to my
beloved son WILLIAM HOLLOMON a certain black mare and colt to his own
possession.

Also I leave all the rest of my property to be divided equally between my
three daughters at the death of my beloved wife, HARPY.

Also I give to my well beloved daughters ELIZABETH HOLLOMON eight head of
black cattle.

And I do hereby utterly disallow, … and disanull all and every other former
testaments, wills, legacies and I do hereby acknowledge this to be my last
will and testament.

Ye hereunto I have set my and and seal this 23rd of July, 1798.
