". . . my first wife Lucy (and who was the mother of all my children) and myself were married on the 13th day of September 1821. This wife Lucy died on the 13th day of April 1862 leaving the following children surviving her, all of whom were at the time more than 21 years of age (except Edward T.) viz Emily E.; Samuel C.; Nancy M.; Louisa Jane; Mary Susan & Edward T., and all of whom were married except Edward T. Since the death of their Mother Lucy, the following have died viz Mary Susan, wife of R.E. Butridge leaving five children two of whom have since died in their minority leaving three living. Edward T. who died whilst still a minor and at the age of 19 years. Before my wife Lucy died I had given to my daughter, Emily E. two hundred and fifteen acres of land about nine head of cattle and some other household furniture (and a Negro girl and a Negro boy after the death of my wife). To Samuel C. I gave 338 acres, two Negro boys, and some household and kitchen furniture. To Mary Susan I gave a Negro girl and household and kitchen furniture but no land. To Nancy M. I gave a Negro girl (and Negro boy after the death of my wife) 305 1/2 acres of land, and some household furniture. To Louisa Jane I gave 126 1/2 acres of land, a Negro girl and a Negro boy (this last boy given since the death of my wife, was also the boy given Nancy M.) and some household furniture & c. All this property except four Negro boys advanced to my children as stated, prior to the death of their Mother.

At the time of the death of my wife Lucy in 1862, we owned in Common as Community property, a tract of land where we resided in Grayson County supposed to contain 1731 acres, less 985 acres which I had before that time Deeded to my children . . . leaving according to the surveys made at the time of my wife’s death 726 acres (It seems by surveys since made however that there was only about 500) . . . I also owned as Community property at the death of my wife about 20 Negroes all of whom were shortly afterwards freed by operation of law. About twelve head of horses. About 10 head of cattle, 250 head of sheep, Farming Utensils, Household furniture and a part of a lot in Sherman which was sold and the net proceeds divided, one half to myself & balance to my children equally. Also 30 acres in Collin County disposed of in the same manner."
