Will of
America Moss; I have advanced to my son, W. T. Moss, in property and money, $200.00 and to my daughter, Mary M. Williams, $200.00 in property and money, which I charge to them. To my son, R. D. Moss, I desire all of my land in Green County lying north of Green River and embraced in a survey and platt of same made by W. L. Mudd, said tract containing 114 acres. I also give to my son, R. D. Moss, all money and personal property that I may have on hand at my death. The reason I have given more to my son, R. D. is because he has been so good and kind to me in my sore afflictions for the last 7 or 8 years and I know he has been to a great expense for me during these years of affliction.
