Will, TN, Montgomery, Hardy Bryan 1824 1824

State of Tennessee
Montgomery County

Whereas HARDY BRYAN on the second day of November instant 1824 did in our hearing,
we being each one of us personally present, make his verbal or nuncupative will
after the following manner, viz:

He said HARDY BRYAN willed and desired his wife MARTHA BRYAN and his son LOVETT B.
BRYAN to act as his executor and to sell so much of his estate on a credit of 12
months as would pay off his debts.

And the balance of his estate, he will, should be kept together in our common
dividend for the support of themselves and for the support and educating of his
children until they arrived at the age of 21 years, then and at that time each
child should draw for him or herself the same proportion of his property as he said
HARDY BRYAN had heretofore [been] given or let his son NORFLEET BRYAN already have
which was as follows viz:

       One good horse, saddle and bridle; one good feather bed and furniture;
       one cow and calf; one sow and pigs; two ewe sheep; one weeding hoe and
       narrow ax; one bar share [plow] and one pair iron traces.

And whenever his little son ALLEN JOSEPH WRIGHT BRYAN arrives at the age of 21
years when and at that time his tract of land he now lives on is to be sold to the
highest bidder on a credit of 12 months in order to make an equal division amongst
the said wife and children, but if she, the said wife, MARTHA BRYAN, should die
before his little son ALLEN J. W. BRYAN becomes 21 years of age, then and in that
case his land (he now lives on) together with all the other property, sold together
as a dividend, is to be sold to the highest bidder on a credit of 12 months in
order to be divided equally among the rest of his children now already provided
for, after the manner of said son NORFLEET BRYAN has heretofore received his
portion of said HARDY BRYAN's property.

And after all the legatees have drawn their proportion in manner, as given said son
NORFLEET BRYAN, then the balance of said HARDY BRYAN's property, if any, that
balance is to be equally divided amongst all his legatees.

In Witness whereof we each of us subscribe, or cause our names to be subscribed, to
this as witnesses in the presence of each other this 9th day of November in the
year a. D. 1824.
