Georgia, Brooks Co.
In the name of God--Amen.
I Moses Dukes of said State and County being of advanced age but of sound and 
disposing mind and memory; knowing that I must shortly depart this life, deem it 
right and proper both as respects my family and myself that I should make a 
disposition of the property with which a kind Providence has blessed me.  I do 
therefore make this my last Will and Testament hereby revoking and annulling all 
others by me heeretofore made.  First, I desire and direct that my body be 
burried (sic) in a decent and Christian-like manner suitable to my circumstances 
and condition in life.  My Soul, I trust shall return to rest with God who gave 
it as I hope for salvation through the merits and atonement of the blessed Lord 
and Savior Jesus Christ.  Secondly, I desire and direct that all my just debts 
be paid without delay by my Executrix herein after named and appointed.  
Thirdly, I give and bequeath to my beloved wife, Sarah Jane Dukes for and during 
her widowhood all the property I own and passed of consisting of lands and 
tenement, horses, mules, cows, hogs, household and kitching (sic) furniture, 
plantation tools, wagons, carts, buggies, carriages, all notes, and accounts, 
cash, and everything whatever.  Fourthly, I hereby constitute and appoint my 
beloved wife, Sarah Jane Dukes Executrix of this my last Will and Testament.  
This January 31st  1894.
