Will of James Mead In re In the name of God Amen.

My wife is to have the sole management of all without any controul over her whilst she remains unmarried but if she maries a second time then she looses all right and authority. Given under my hand this 18th day of December in the year of our Lord 1843. James his X mark Mead. Certified correct,

| Note: The wills in those will books are NOT actual wills. They are either hand-written copies or in later years typed copies of a, "last will and testament," written by the court clerk, after the death of the testator, when the executor presented them to the court for probate. The court clerk didn't list the signatures at the bottom, he (or she) just put them in the book in whatever order they were in, on the original document, no spacing most of the time, no punctuation. The originals were kept by the executor. We who have typed these wills, have made every effort to include all the errors that were on the microfilm, in order to avoid destroying the integrity of the originals, where ever they may be. |
