I Benjamin J. Tipton in the County of Sevier and State of Tennessee, being of sound mind and memory, do hereby make and publish this my last will and testament, in manner and form following, that is to say;
First: after all my lawful debts and funeral expenses are paid and discharged, the residue of my Estate real and personal I give and bequeath and dispose of as follows (to wit) To my beloved wife Nancy I give as follows, the use of one hundred and sixty acre tract of land with its appertainances on which I now reside. Also one tract called the forty acre tract, bonded by the lands of J.M. Sharp, James Chandler & others, during her natural life. I also give my wife Nancy all my household and kitchen furniture, all of said household & kitchen furniture she may use and dispose of as she may wish or desire, also of the stock on hands I give her the choice horse beast, choice cow, farm, also all the monies on hands after my debts & funeral expenses are paid, also all the grain, fodder, & bacon on hands.I direct that my son Caswell C. Tipton shall have to his use the 160 acre tract above named after the decease of my wife on the following conditions (to wit)- I direct that he pay rents during my wife's life time, Say one third of the crops & that he be paid out of the rents for all necessary repair and improvements that he may make and do. The piece of land he is now clearing is & will be his without rents, & also that said Caswell C. Tipton pay my Executors hereafter named the sum of four hundred dollars-, 100 to be paid each year until the 400 dollars be paid.
I direct that after the other business of my Estate is settled and after the death of my wife, that the 40 acre tract of land above named be sold to one of my heirs that will pay the most money for it. My son-in-law Boyd Johnson will have three years of lease, and during my wife's life time on what he had cleared on said 40 acre tract. I further direct that my daughter Victoria Johnson be allowed a horse valued at $150 dollars (here the decimal point is between the 1.5 but I take it to mean $150 none the less), that she now is the proper owner of said horse.
I direct further that of the monies that come into the hands of my Executors that there be paid to my daughter Lucinda Cusick two hundred dollars, to my daughter Elizabeth Cusick one hundred dollars, to my daughter Victoria Johnson two hundred dollars, each of the three above named be paid out of the monies that may come to the hands of my Executors.
I further direct that the sum of two hundred dollars be held by my Executors as a trust fund for my daughter Victoria Johnson to be paid to her with interest as they in their judgement shall think most of her and her husband's benefit.
I direct that my Executors pay out of my monies remaining in their hands, after paying the amounts named above, to my son Thomas D. Tipton the sum of two hundred dollars.
If monies still remain after the above amounts are paid, that they be equally divided between all my heirs. The reason why I have not directed that my daughters Mary Pickens, & Margaret Thompson have special amounts in this my last will, is that they have received what will be their part of my Estate, except what I have willed and bequeathed the proceeds of said sale to be applied as above directed.And lastly, I do hereby constitute and appoint Andrew Cusick & E.S. Thomas Executors of this my last will and testament, hereby revoking all former wills or testaments by me made.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand & seal this 13th day of March in the year one thousand eight hundred and seventy one.
Benjamin J. Tipton (Seal)
