State of Georgia
City of Savannah
In the Name of God, Amen! I Michael Dillon of the City of Savannah, in the State of Georgia. Merchant being of sound and disposing mind and memory, but being in infirm health, do make and publish my last will and testament hereby revoking and making null and void all other wills by me heretofore made.
First, I direct that all my just debts be paid.
Secondly, I give to my nephew, Michael Dillon, son of my brother, John Dillon, deceased, the sum of five thousand dollars, if and when he at- tains to the age of twenty-one years. If my said nephew should die under that age, I will direct and order that the said sum of money shall fall in and be considered as part of the residue of my estate to be disposed of as in this my said will is directed. And whereas I have compromised my claim upon the chattel property of Michael Dillon of Templecarrig in the county of Wicklow in Ireland, in doing which I was actuated by the principles of humanity and justice, and did not intend to compromise any person but myself; but I desire to keep my children out of law suits and claims. And I therefore direct and (sentence has black line through it) to my said nephew upon the previous condition, that it is to be in full of any claim of any ????? or kind whatsoever, which he can or may have against me or my estate, either in reference to the said compromise, or in any other way whatsoever, I desire that he may have ample time to make his election, and again I declare that I have done nothing to injure his rights, if any he has in the said estate of the said Michael Dillon of Templecarrig, nor do I intend by this will to deprive him of the right to pursue any such claim, if any he have, but to prevent him from claiming any thing from my estate by reason of said compromise on my part.
Thirdly, I give and bequeath to Michael Riley, (who was bound to me by the Union Society) two hundred and fifty dollars, to be paid to him by my executors as soon as my be convenient to them after my death.
Fourthly, I give to the Catholic Asylum in the City of Savannah two hundred and fifty dollars; and I give and bequeath to the Savannah Poor House and Hospital; The Savannah Female Asylum of the City of Savannah, and The Savannah Widows Society for the relief of indigent widows and orphans, the sum of Fifty dollars to each and every of said three last mentioned Institutions.
Fifthly, I desire that Maria Quigley, the mother of my late ? partner Edward Quigley, shall have a home and support in my family as long as she lives. If she should at any time prefer to live separate from my family, I give and bequeath unto the said Maria Quigley, the sum of seventy five dollars per annum during her life-time for her support. This I give, as her son died without making a will, and thus she was left destitute.
Sixthly. I give and bequeath unto my acting and qualified executors in Georgia, the sum of five thousand dollars in trust. Nevertheless for the sole and separate use, benefit and behoof of my daughter Elizabeth the wife of John Sherlock, not subject to the debts, contracts, or engagements of her said husband, or of any future husband with whom she may intermarry. I direct and declare that this sum of five thousand dollars is in full of all interest which she can claim in my estate or under my said will in any way. I direct that this sum of five thousand dollars shall be put out at interest or invested so that it will bear interest by my said executors and the said interest so accruing shall be yearly or oftener paid to my said daughter Elizabeth, by my said executors, taking her separate receipt therefore I direct that if my said daughter Elizabeth shall have children or a child, that after the death of my said daughter, the said sum of money or the property in which it shall have been invested, shall be divided equally between the children of my said daughter Elizabeth, share and share alike if more than one, living at the time death of my said daughter, their heirs, executors, administrators and assigns forever: as tenants in common, but not as joint tenants. If my said daughter Elizabeth shall die without having a child or children or the lineal representatives of a child or children, living at the time of the death of said Elizabeth, I direct (an so bequeath) that the said sum of five thousand dollars, or the funds in which shall it shall have been invested, shall be divided amongst any remaining children, who may be then living, their heirs, executors, administrators or assigns forever, share and share alike as tenants in common.
Seventhly. I direct that all the foregoing legacies be raised and taken out of my ready money, and if necessary, out of the proceeds of the sales of my goods in store, horses, drays, Negroes, and other personal property that I may be possessed of or entitled to at the time of my death; the time and manner of which sales I leave to the discretion of my executors in Georgia, giving them full power in the premises.
Eighthly. I give and bequeath to Julia Brabazan, the wife of William Brabazan, of the county of Wicklow in Ireland, the sum of seventy-five pounds sterling, to be paid to the said Julia, for her sole and separate use, benefit and behoof by my executor in Ireland, not to be subject in any manner to the debts or control of her husband.
Ninthly. I give and bequeath unto the children of the said Julia Braba-zan, the sum of two hundred and fifty pounds sterling, to be invested in some safe and profitable manner by my executor in Ireland until the youngest of said children shall arrive at the age of twenty-one years, but the interest accruing thereon or therefrom, shall be paid to the said Julia yearly, for the use of her said children, if any of the said children shall die before attaining the age of twenty-one years and without leaving lineal descendants living, at the time of his or her death, then his or share share shall be divided amongst the survivors, their heirs, executors, administrators and assigns.
Tenthly. I give and bequeath unto my cousin, Edward Dunn of Rathcom County Dublin, fifty pounds sterling to him, his heirs, executors, administrators and assigns forever.
Eleventhly. I direct that the above legacies to Julia Brabazon, her children and Edward Dunn be paid by my executor in Ireland out of the ready of my estate in Ireland, if the same shall continue, unsold-otherwise out of my general estate-in either case to be paid as soon as convenient by my executors.
Twelfthly. I will and direct that so long as my wife continues unmarried that my present household shall be kept up, and that my wife and children composing such household, shall be supported and maintained and clothed out of the rents of my houses and lands, the hire of negroes, the profits of business-the dividends of stock and the interest of monies owed to me or that may be loaned out by my executor. I direct and order that out of my estate or the profits thereof all my children shall receive a good education such as Mary Ann is now receiving. I direct and recommend that my dray and other business be continued for the benefit of my estate, subject however to the control or discontinuance of same by order of my executors. So long as the present household arrangements continue, I direct that my property be not divided, as is specified in the thirteenth clause of this will, unless my executors should consider it advisable, under any special circumstances that may occur.
Thirteenthly. I give, devise and bequeath all the rest and residue of my property, left (not specifically bequeathed) of every kind and sort whatsoever personal, or mixed, or wherever situate, and all stocks, due bills, open accounts and choses in action, to which I may have any claim or interest to my wife Margaret, and to my daughter Mary Ann, my son George Washington, daughter Alecia, my son Michael Patrick, my daughter Margaret, my daughter Agnes, and any children that I may hereafter have, share and share alike except as is hereinafter provided. The portion or share allotted to my wife, I give devise and bequeath to George B. Cumming, and Robert M. Charlton, and the survivor of them, and the heirs, executors and administrators of such survivors in trust. Nevertheless that they will pay over to my said wife Margaret, during her natural life, the rents and profits thereof, for her sole and separate use and not to be in any manner subject to the debts or control of any failure ? husband with whom she may intermarry, and from and after the death of my said wife, then I give devise and bequeath the share allotted to her under this my will to all her children by me begotten or to be begotten share and share alike, their heirs, executors, administrators and assigns forever, but if any of her said children shall depart this life under the age of twenty-one years and without lawful issue living at the time of his or her death then I give devise and bequeath the share of the child so dying, to be equally divided amongst my remaining children by my said wife Margaret or their lineal representatives living at the time of the death of my said wife, their heirs, executors, administrators and assigns forever, but my said wife shall have the remaining nevertheless, to give and devise by an instrument in the nature of last will and testament to be signed in the presence of two or more witnesses, one thousand dollars and out of the share so allotted to her, to any person or persons, and in fee simple or otherwise, and I do hereby declare and direct that the above device to my said wife shall be in lieu of any right of dower thirds or child share or legal claim whatsoever, which she can or may have as my widow; in any part or portion of my estate or property real, personal or misced, here or elsewhere situate or beinges, and I further direct that my said wife shall make a formal and written renunciation of any dower or claim whatsoever, to any part or portion of my property except what she may derive under this will, before she shall be permitted to claim any interest or benefit under this my will: and as for the shares of portion of my estate so to be allotted to my said children by my said wife, Margaret, I give, devise and bequeath, the same to my said children begotten or to be begotten on my said wife Margaret share and share alike (except as hereafter mentioned in reference to Mary Ann and Alicia) to each respectively, his or her heirs, executors, administrators and assigns forever, but if any of my said children by my said wife Margaret shall depart this life under the age of twenty-one years, and without lawful issue living at the time of his or her death, then I give, devise and bequeath the share of said children so dying to be equally divided amongst my remaining children by my said wife Margaret or their lineal representatives living at the time of the death of my said wife, their heirs, executors, administrators and assigns forever.
