Page 329-HILLHOUSE, SARAH. Georgia, Wilkes Co. I Sarah Hillhouse of the county and state aforesaid being of sound mind and memory and desirous of securing the inheritance of my property in justice and equity, do make and ordain this my last will and testament as follows: As I have already given my son the greater part of my property, I presume he will not expect any addition at my death although my unabated maternal affection would induce me to do more, could it be done in justice to his sister. And having been repeatedly solicited by my son-in-law Felix Gilbert not to give his daughter Sarah Alexander any part of my estate because of the large property he should leave her. In justice therefore to my daughter Mary Shepherd and her family I feel it my duty to comply with his oft repeated request, I give and bequeath the whole of my property of every description personal and real for her own individual use and benefit and behoof. I do hereby give and fully grant unto her the right and privilege of selling, exchanging or any way altering the property real or personal that I may leave in whatever manner she may think best, the same to her children at her death. It is particularly my wish as my daughter has the management of the property coming to her children from their father's estate and also of my own that they should be perfectly satisfied with whatever may be done by her or by her consent in the management of their property in either estate, and as I have perfect confidence in the equitable manner in which she has already and will continue to manage their property and though it may not be in strict compliance with the letter of the law with a view therefore to prevent any difficulty between my daughter and her children or
139

between the children themselves it is particularly my wish and direction that in case any of her children, their heirs or representatives should ever demur to or contend for anything different than she may have done or directed to be done or may hereafter do in the management either of their fathers or my property, that one or those thus contend- ing shall be and are by my last will entirely excluded from all part, share or benefit of my property of every kind otherwise left them through their mother. I request my daughter Mary Shepherd to act as my executor of this my last will and testament in this most liberal intent and meaning, feeling the most unbounded confidence in her justice and maternal affection. In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal this first of February Eighteen hundred and thirty one. (Signed) Sarah Hillhouse.
