Teste J. Brooke CC This transcription was made by Sandra K. Onbey on July 25, 1995. All punctuation and spelling were noted exactly as recorded in the original will book. The will was transcribed line by line leading to the irregularity of the above text. Note: at one point in the will the words and bequeath are repeated twice, this was as is was in the original also John Adams named his son Josias his name was Josiah which can be seen in the will of his mother Sarah Stacy Adams.
