Abstracted Will of Col. Jonathan Tipton

1116 Jonathan Tipton made his will on 9-23-1843 and it was probated in the Dec. term of Court in 1858. The will is not prcisely worded and probably for that reason it was contested "(1) to my wife Margaret the estate and property she brought into the marriage. (The slaves) Burrell, Rose, Sophy and her (Sophy's) three children, Manervy, Sary, Simon and all the other property I got with her in marriage. Also one half the land I live on containing 600 acres, also the buildings, also the note on John Stephens for $193, the note on Robert Porter for $488, and the note on Ruth and Lillard for $385. Also farming equipment and a years provisions.

"The balance to my children: (2) Mary Ann Weir $600 (3) John B. $600 (4) Edmund W. $600 (5) Willie B. $600 (6) Lucretia Bradford $600 (7) Tryphenia Wear $700 (8) Sarah Wilkinson $200 (9) Lorenzo D. $100 (10) Pleasant M. $600 (11) Ellridge G. (no amt. named) (12) Jonathan C. $600 (13) Quincy A. $600 (14) Lavina and Calvin Hall $700."

William Haskell and John B. Tipton were named executors and the will witnessed by John McClain and John Rider.

On 1-28-1853 Jonathan Tipton added a codicil to his will in which he staed that although his grandson George B. Tipton was made equal by law with on of his own children he thought it proper to make him equal with his granchildren who were the children of John and Sarah Wilkinson. John Rider and John McClain also witnessed the codicil.
