| | Will of George Manyfee, dated 1 October 1840, proved 6 January 1841, Talbot County, Georgia. To wife Nancy Manyfee a negro man Dick, woman Jemima, boy Garrison, girl Giner, my sorrell Horn Hamilton or some other horse of like value, cows, calves, etc. and as much provisions as will be sufficient to maintain the family from the date of my death to the 25th December. At my wife’s death or marriage, the above to be divided among Martha Lawhorn, Richard Manyfee, and Willis P. Manyfee. To my son Willis P. Manyfee and my wife Nancy my lot of land where I now live, #249 in the 23rd District, originally Muscogee, now Talbot County. Also 10 acres to be taken from Lot #248 in said district commencing the south corner to include the spring now used by me. Also to my son Willis my blacksmith tools, cotton gin and running gear and thrashing machine. To my two sons Richard Manyfee and Willis P. Manyfee all the sums of money that may be due me what is left after my debts are paid. The rest of my property except negroes to be sold and the proceeds and negroes to be divided into shares or lots. One equal share to William Manyfee, Tatam Manyfee, Richard Manyfee, George Manyfee, and to Willis P. Manyfee and Richard Manyfee trustees in trust for the support of my daughter Martha A. Lawhorn one share during her natural life and at her death to be equally divided between her children as they come of age or marry. To Elizabeth Naper? or Paser? one half of one share. To my granddaughter Rebecca Ann Kirk half of one share. To my grandchild William Tatam son of Rebecca Tatam, deceased, half of one share, and to the heirs of my daughter Sarah Davis half of one share, making up the seven equal parts or lots of my estate. As I have given Martha Lawhorn and her heirs by a deed of trust two negroes Cilly and her child Wilson valued at $1150, I want that amount taken out of her share and divided among the other shares. I learn with mortification and regret that my son Tatam Manyfee claims to have demands against me for an account for property or money received by me from the estate of his grandfather Tatum deceased and that he threatens the collection of the sum from my estate after my death, and believing that I have fully settled and paid him and the heirs of said estate all demands, my executors should call upon him and the heirs of said deceased for a full discharge from them
