Will of William Pumphrey In re WILLIAM J. PUMPHREY. DECEASED. The last will and testament of William J. Pumphrey, considering the uncertainty of this mortal life, and being of sound mind and memory, do make and publish this my last will and testament, in manner and form following, that is to say, I give and bequeath unto my wife Jane F. Pumphrey my House & land and furniture therein or whatever I may die possessed of to my wife Jane F. Pumphrey, whom I hereby appoint sole executrix of this my last will and testament hereby revoking all former wills by me made and we at his request sign our names hereto as attesting witnesses. The above instrument or sheet was at the date thereof declared by him to be his last will and testament. CORRECT. (Listed in the Margin next to this will the following)

| Note: The wills in those will books are NOT actual wills. They are hand-written 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. |
