Will of John Kite Page 296 Hawkins County Will Book. Dated: October 2, 1850 and Proven: May Term , 1851.

The last will and Testament of John Kite, Senior, made in the year of our Lord One Thousand Eight Hundred and Fifty, on second day of October. In the name of God, Amen. I, John Kite, of Hawkins County, State of Tennessee being of sound mind and memory and wishing to dispose of such of my property as I will hereinafter mention in manner and form as follows, Viz:

First. My will and desire is that as soon after my decease as is practicable, I desire that all my just debts and funeral expenses be paid out of any money that may come into the hands of my Executor or Administrator from the sales of any of my perishable or personal property, or both as the case may be required.

Secondly. My will is that should there be any money remaining in the hands of my representative after defraying the above mentioned expenses, or any other expenses that may become necessary or right to be paid; the balance be equally divided between my lawful heirs Viz; with the exception of my son Martin Kite, and to him I will all my tract of land whereon I now live containing 150 acres, lying on Dodson's Creek in District #15, adjoining the lands of Henry Lauderback and others.

NB The reason that I have not given the names of all the persons that will heir a portion of my estate is because I do not know their names.

Now my will is that no one, or more of my lawful heirs attempt to break this my last will and testament.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and affixed my seal this day and date above written.

(Signed) John x Kite (seal) (his mark)

Attest: Wm. Smith and James P. Bradley
