Will Probate, GA, Hancock, Aaron McKenzie, 1796

In the name of God, Amen.

I, AARON MCKENZIE SENIOR, of the county of Hancock, state of Georgia, being very
sick and weak in body but of perfect mind and memory, thanks be given unto God
therefore. Calling into 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 recommend my
soul into the hands of almighty God that gave it, and my body I recommend to the
earth to be buried in a decent Christian burial at the discretion of my executors,
nothing doubting but at the 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 with in this life.

I give and demise and dispose of the same, in the following manner and form.

FIRST I give and bequeath to JEMIMAH MCKENZIE, my dearly beloved wife, all my
lands, horses, cattle, and hogs, together with all my household goods, kitchen
furniture, plantation tools, debts and movable effects, except one bed and
furniture of the second quality, and my writing desk which I give to me well
beloved son RANDOLPH MCKENZIE.

I also constitute, make and ordain my well beloved wife JEMIMAH sole executrix of
this, my last will and testament, all and singular, my lands, messuage and
tenements, by her freely to be possessed and enjoyed forever.

AND I do hereby utterly disallow, revoke and disannul all and every other former
testaments, will, legacies, requests and executors by me in any ways before named,
willed and bequeathed, ratifying and confirming this and no other to be my last
will and testament.

IN WITNESS whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal this 28th day of December
in the year of our Lord 1796 and in the twenty first year of American Independence.

AARON MCKENZIE {seal}
