I make
this my last will and Testament, In the first place my son Thomas Brawner
was my agent and received money for me and I lived in his house and performed
what work for the family that was in my power and he had the use of
some of my negroes and no settlement was made between us. I now direct
that the accounts be considered settled and I give him whatever balance shall
be coming to me as his full share of my
property.
In
the second place, I direct my Executor to sell my two black boys, Jim and
Allen and the money to be equally divided between my two sons Franklin and
Henry and that is to be their share of my
property.
In
the third place, I have given my son John Mitchell Brawner a bill of sale
for the negro boys Jim and Preston and have sold him the mother Hannah for
which I hold his note. I intend said two negro boys Jim and Preston
as his part of my estate and as I am living with him. After paying my debts
and funeral expenses out of the debt he owes me first applying what other
debts shall be due to me, I give him the balance of what he shall own
me.
In
the fourth place, I devise to Parmelia Brawner, wife of John Mitchell Brawner,
for her separate use, free from her husband and his debts, a negro girl called
Harriet about sixteen months old as an evidence of my gratitude for her kindness
and attention to me and she is also to have what little personal property
I know have, except the two quilts - one for Franklin and one for
Henry.
I
make my son John Mitchell Brawner my Executor and direct the little personal
effects left by me at my son Thomas shall not be claimed, but remain with
him. In witness whereof I have set my hand this 12th day of August
1848.
