     In the Name of God, Amen, I, Bendict Hammock, of Jones County in the State of Georgia, being in health of body and sound mind, memory and understanding, but deprived of two of the greatest blessings that man can possibly enjoy from my birth; that is, of hearing and speaking, but through the same goodness of Providence can understand perfectly by signs how to trade and transact my business and which signs I am perfectly satisfied that the witnesses of this, my last Will, understand, and know how to converse with me as they have been in the habit of doing frequently.
     Do make this my last Will and Testament in manner and form follwing: I give and bequeath unto my beloved wife, Sally Hammock, all my money, securities for money, goods, chattels, estates, and effects, lands and negroes, and also of what nature or kind soever that I am possessed of, at my demise after my just debts are paid (she having behaved herself as a faithful, industrious, and good wife since our marriage) to have and to hold; the same unto my said wife, her executors, administrators, and assigns forever---to dispose of then as she may think proper, and I do nominate and appoint my said wife my sole Executrix of this, my last Will and Testament, hereby revoking and making void all former Wills made by me. And having been informed that Wills are frequently attempted to be disputed and made null and void, I do request that no such thing may be attempted with this, as I have had time to deliberate before I signed and sealed this, my Last Will and Testament,
     In witness whereof, I, the said Benedict Hammock, have hereunto set my hand and seal this 22nd day of April, 1825.
