State of Georgia, Oglethorpe County: In the name of God Amen. I Reuben
Glaze of the County and State aforesaid being of sound and disposing mind
and memory yet far advanced in age and desirous that death should not remove
me without having________disposed of my property. To that the(?) portion
I would to my daughter Matilda Edmondson had it been her good fortune to

its management, may not fall into the hands of her husband Richard Edmondson,
do make and ordain this to be my last will and testament. For this purpose
mainly-Item 1st: Let all funeral and other expenses be first promptly paid
by my executors-Item 2nd: As it is my desire that my whole estate may be
divided into as many equal shares as I have children of their representatives
at the time of my death in order that each one of my said children or their
representatives may receive one and an equal share thereof my daughter
Matilda Edmondson's share to be received and managed as I shall herein
after direct. I next will and direct that to accomplish this object my
executors set up to publickly(sic) auction to the highest bidder the whole
of my property when each legatee can bid or not buy any part of the whole
of what may constitute his equal share or not as he may deem but for his
interest and that according to the aggregate amount of this sale and my
executors settle with my several children or their representatives so as
to give and to allow each one equal share thereof and the share which under
such
circumstances as I have intimated in the preamble of this my last will
I would have given to my son-in-law Richard Edmondson and which further
will and direct shall consist wholly of money either left by me on hand
at the time of my death or raised by me from the sale aforesaid., I hereby
give and bequeath to my son-in-law Elam Willbanks in trust and for and
upon the following conditions viz., should he at any time during the life
time of my said daughter Matilda Edmondson adjudge and deem her in distress
and professing need of the whole or any part of the interest
which he may annually realize from the loan of said share to the support
and comfort of herself and her children. It is my will and desire and I
hereby direct and request him to appropriate on such contingency such amount
of said interest as he may deem requisite to her necessities and I further
will and direct that should my said daughter Matilda Edmondson survive
her said husband that upon that the whole said share to be given over paid
to her to be by her enjoyed and disposed of at her pleasure, but should
her said husband survive her then upon the happening of her death I give
and bequeath the whole of said share in equal portions to the children
she may leave living. Item 3rd: Last, I constitute and appoint my son Joseph
C. Glaze and my son-in-law Elam Willbanks the
executors of this my last will and testament thereby revoking and annulling
