Re-examined~ Witness says that both subscribing witnesses to the will signed it at the request of the Testator. The first signing of the will was on the day of the date thereof, he, the Testator, requested both subscribing witnesses to attend at the time of the last sign- -ing of the will, the Testator assigned as a reason for having his first signature scratched out, that he had just recovered from a spell of sickness when he wrote and his hand trembled so that his signature was scarcely legible, witness further says that Testator also said that his signature first written, was so bad that he was afraid it would have an effect upon the will, there were no alterations made in the will between the first and last signing thereof except scratching out and signing again, the will was in witness' possession between the first and last signing, the Testator was of sound mind and memory at the time he signed the last time, that Testator was under no restraint at the time of the last signing.

I did not know at the time I witnessed it that it was the will of the testator the testator did not say at that time that it was his will, but in a conversation afterwards with testator and Thomas Patten he learnt that it might probably be his will, after witness signed it, he testator was telling Thomas Patten that he had forgotten to put into it a certain amount of the first money, due from Wotring Title A name given to the resource Delaware County Ohio Will Records Vol. 2 1835-1850 (p. 245) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/92130aa8746f13d05dd4103b84b87b47.jpg 0358980aea1c1c1d4a34488e7e08f2d8 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Witness signed it but he knows not when Patten signed it did not see him sign it, witness cannot tell whether Patten's name was signed to said will, before testator got up and requested deponent to sign it, saw the testator get up go to the table and sign his name to said will was present at the second signing of the will. Testator gave as a reason for having his name scratched out and writing it a second time, that he had written it the first time so poor, that he as afraid it could not be read All the reason he assigned was he was afraid it could not be read, at that time he testator did not manifest any desire to alter the will. Thomas Patten and witness were both present at the time of the second signing of the will. Cross Examined~ At the time witness signed the paper as witness he saw Mr Patten sitting at the table writing, Patten got up and said to testator he was ready, testator then sat down and wrote his name to said paper, as soon as testator got up deponent wrote his deponent's name as witness. Patten's name was written as witness before deponent wrote his name as witness Deponent did not see Mr. Patten sit down to the table to write after testator got up. After testator signed the will the first time, he said he intended Eli to have something on the first money due from Wotring, witness cannot recollect the words exactly but he testator was so forgetful testator said it was strange that he was so forgetfull that he could not get that in. Testator also said "there is another thing I have forgotten. I have made no provision in the will what should be done with money going to heirs that will not for some time come of "age" all this happened immediately after signing the will the first time, testator expressed no other dissatis- -faction that witness heard at the second signing of the will, that testator asked witness to stay till his son John had gone for he was afraid he had written his name the first time so that it could not be read witness saw testator put his name to the will the second time Title A name given to the resource Delaware County Ohio Will Records Vol. 2 1835-1850 (p. 246) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/3f01f476fd60728129d617a7143235af.jpg 33b46ba8f743c1b28dc66c7703bbf369 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Re-examined~ At the time testator said he was so forgetful he did not ask Patten to make any alteration in the will, at the second signing of the will testator manifested an anxiety to have his name written so that it might be legible, but deponent saw nor heard nothing from testator manifesting an anxiety to have the will altered, at the second signing of the will, the mind of the testator was sufficiently sound "to take a bite out of any man in a trade" testator was under no restraint that witness knows of & further says not.

Mr Meredith dictated pretty much word for word the will as first written I then copied substantially the first paper and then added the clause disposing of the remainder of the property. After it was written out I read it to him and asked him if that was his will and testament he said it was and had been for years. He then set up in bed with the assistance of Mr Clark and signed the will and witness and Mr. Clark signed it as witnesses in the presence of the testator. Witness says the testator was of full age and considered at the time that he was of sound mind and capable of executing his will and that he did it freely and of his own accord. Cross examined by the Mr. Sweetser -- I had not seen Mr Meredith since his sickness until called on to write the will. I think I was in the house about three hours previous to writing the will and in Mr Merediths presence about an hour. The only suggestion made to Mr Meredith with regard to the will was the one made by Mr Clark I did not see him after drawing the will for about a week I then saw him two or three times previous to his death I there discovered that he was a little fleighty at times, at any time by calling his attention by asking him questions he would answer rationally Azor Saunders George Clark examined after being sworn.

Witness then asked Mr Watson to go and ask Saunders to come over and Saunders came over accordingly. Mr. Saunders and witness went into room together. Witness says that Saunders asked testator whether he had a form book as he Saunders was not much acquainted with the forms in such matters. The wife of Testator then searched for a book of forms belonging to testator but it could not be found when the testator said that he had prob= =ably lent it. Mr Saunders then proposed to go home and get one to which the testator objected saying that he wished the matter finished immediately. Materials were then furnished and Mr Suanders proceeded to write the will of testator agreeably to the dication of testator After making the bequest to his wife the testator remarked that he wished to give Solomon Five hundred dollars (The said Solomon Walker was a brother of Mrs. Meredith wife of testator and supposes that he lived with testator as one of the family) Mr Saunders then turned to witness and said I suppose he means Solomon Walker to which witness re= =plied I suppose so Testator then said that he wanted no more written and then said will was signed by said testator and the said witnesses. But previous to the signing said will some conversation took place concerning the form of the closing the will and Meredith wanted it written in the will that they were witnesses thereto. And after said will was executed the testator wanted the said witnesses to examine him (Testator) as to his capability of making a will. Saunders then asked testator whether that was his last will and testament to which testator replied that it was and that it had been for several years Witness then asked testator what he intended to do with the balance of his property as he had only willed Five hundred dollars of it away to which testator replied that he had forgotten all about it. Testator then said that he wanted the residue of his property to go to his brothers and sisters (he had no children of his own) and suggested that the bquest to his brothers and sisters might be interlined in the will and Mr Saunders attempted to do so but said he could not do it to make sense of it and said that would make a new one and went at it. Witness again says that the will was written at the dictation of the testator. Witness says that the said will was read to the testator by Mr Saunders previous to the signing. Upon hearing it read he remarked as above stated that it was his will and had been for years (The paper hereto attached and marked "A" is the paper or will spoken of as first written) Mr Saunders then proceeded to write the paper now produced and offered for probate as the will &c of said Meredith having the paper spoken of as having been interlined lying before him -- Mr Saunders proposed before writing the attestation above the names of the witnesses that they should insert a clause that they (the witnesses) believed the testator to be capable of making a will Witness objected to this saying that they could testify to the fact when called on in Court. Mr Saunders however wrote said attestation as it now is and having signed it himself witness signed it not willingly but because the testator he knew would become excited Title A name given to the resource Delaware County Ohio Will Records Vol. 3 1850-1859 (p. 60) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/8f2cffb5e168143e74c15e8657b16a7a.jpg 89588de815f54b18c22a63a5f894bf17 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Meredith was at the time of ma king said will between forty and fifty years of age.

"I do not think that he was. Question Repeated What were your rea= =sons for this supposition Ans.

I drew up two or three before the testator was satisfied-the last-the one now before the Court, he seemed to be satisfied with and signed it in my presence and in the presence of the other witnesses. Testator requested us to sign it as witnesses. Myself, Gilbert VanDorn and Robert Shannon-this request for us to sign was after I had asked the Testator if he wished us to sign as witnesses. Cross Examiner- witness came to this County three or four months ago-lived for the three months previous to testator's death within one fourth mile of a mile of his testator's res= =idence-had not much acquaintenance with testator until- his last sickness. Saw him about two days before he made his will-had considerable conversation with him. On Sunday evening the second time I saw him after his sickness, Testator said he wished me to do some writing for him. On Monday, the next day John M. Leak spoke to me about writing a will for his father John Leak. Witness was at the residence of Testa= =tor on Saturday evening about half an hour and on Sunday night suceeding about the same length of time, before he made his will. Question. "What remarks were made by tes= =tator when you was talking with him about making will and writing the will evidencing unsettled state of mind if any?" Answer-Testator said how stored are some eggs or a nest of eggs-or something of this kind, at which I was a good deal surprised. I got up from the table & turned round testator said never mind, go on. At another time, either on Saturday or Sunday evening previous, Testator said he wanted to go home, and would not let him go home. When John M. Leak called on witness to go and draw a will for his father, John M. said his father wished to entail his property. Witness told him it could not be done under our laws. Testator also told witness that he wished to entail his property- he told testator that it could not be done and read Statute to him. When witness told testator that it could not be done, testator seemed very much surprised. When witness read Statute to him on the subject, Testator re= =marked well that is very plain, and told witness to go on writing will. Testator gave instructions to witness as to drawing his will, and when witness had drawn the will as he thought pursuant to these instruction, testator was not satisfied and made changes, though no very material ones, until the witness had prepared the will the second or third time.

"What evidences other than those already stated, have you of want of soundness of mind of testator?" Answer. "I know of none'. Question. Had you not some doubt, at the time the testator gave his instructions for a will, of his capacity to make one"? Answer. "I had not, if I had seen the will, without conversing with the man, I should have thought it will of a crazy man", because he made such an unnatural disposition of his property, but upon conversing with him he conversed as rationally as men generally do, Although I had very little acquain= =tance with him. I think testator's age was 75 when he died, he was feeble at the time of writing his will, when he spoke or did anything, he did it with energy and some effort. Question. "Did you not have some conversation with Mr. VanDorn on your way home from signing the will as witnesses, as to the sanity of the Testator"? Answer. "We did. We conversed all the way home, about one quarter of a mile, and after we had got home, perhaps for half an hour. We talked about the eggs. Testator had a high fever when I saw him. Reexamined.

I give and bequeath to my son James Tay- -lor Jr., his heirs and assigns forever, lot No. 114, in the original plan of the town of Newport, at the corner of York and Bellevue streets and also 4 feet unsold of lot 113. adjoining the lot sold to Richardson and to extend through to Madison street. I give and bequeath to my daughter Keturah Harris the house and lot of York streeet, lately purchased of H. H. Mayo, to have and to hold the same and to receive the rents and profits thereof during her natural life and the remainder in fee to her heirs forever. And I hereby also direct that my daughter Keturah Harris is not to account to my other heirs for the 125 feet of ground given Mayo, (in exchange for the said House) in the graveyard field.

Huff and his family into said tenants house and thereby to get exclusive possession of said Mansion House and the Lots of ground with the priviledges which by said Huff lease I have reserved for my exclusive use, and that in any fu- ture lease to be made by my Executors they do reserve the whole of said Mansion House and the exclusive use of all lotts of ground and Tenements thereon for the use of my said Widow in the same amnner that I have done in my contract with said Ins. C. Hurff and also any other priviledge which my Widow may think necessary to make her more comfortable but not so as materially to affect or impose the income or rent to be derived from said farm. My Will is that my Wife shall comply with my wishes and reside on said farm, that in addition to the bequests herein before made to her that she shall keep two Cows for her separate use (which Cows I do hereby bequeath to her to be chosen by her out of my share of the Stock) and that the Horse herein-before given her and the two Cows to be fed out of the proceeds of said farm and that the right to have the same complied with and fulfilled be reserved in any lease which my Executors may make.

And it is my Will that my Executors if they shall think it best for the Interest of my family may sell and dispose of all or any part of the standing Timber on either of my said farms, either in lots to suit purchasers or a large sale wishing them at the same time to consider what part of said timber it may be proper to reserve for the use of the fame so that the want of a proper supply may not impair its value at the future sale. In this direction I do not include the power to sell any of the Young timber on the North side of Peach Blossom farm from which in after years will be again fit to cut and the progress of which renders it has necessary to retain much of the wood on the other part of the Estate as that will be ready for use before the farm will require the use of much of that which has not yet been cut. And my Will is that my Executor may procure by purchase or otherways as much rails as may be necessary to keep up the fences during the time the farm may continue unsold.

Question by same - Do you know anything about your husband Francis Twiggs having made a will, if so, when and where, who was present, who were the witnesses to it, if any and who wrote it?

Esq Jacob Myers then signed it and then his brother John Myers signed it. no other person signed it in my presence. It was written by Jacob Myers. It was written there the same day in my presence.

And Julia Ann Granddaughter of testator was to have the landed property, and if her Mother died before one Julia Ann was to have the whole of the property that was left - No person else was to have any of his property, and there were no other bequests in the Will There was no Executor appointed in the will, not to my knowledge there was not. X Examined by C. Sweetser Esq - I have never claimed my dower in the land left by my hus- band, He, Coulter, pretended to set it off, but I never claimed it. I was not a witness in the will case of my daughter. I first told Mr Reid or Mr Fancher about this will about 8 or 9 months since - I had talked with Julia Ann about some time before - more than a year perhaps - I dont think I ever talked to any body else about this Will - my memory is good for an old lady,as good I think as for years past. My reason for not bringing forward the Will for Probate - was Coulter always said Fancher was so shiftless a scamp and that there was no need for having Administration - that I thought it was no use and so I did not bring it in. At the time the Will was made my husband owned 50 acres of land in Licking Co, O. which about 3 years after the will was made was sold to John Kane for $900, by my husband - he paid about half down and gave his notes for the balance - I never knew that my husband transferred these Notes to Coulter. My husband brought all his personal property with him to Delaware County - Saml Coulter bought the land in Delaware County, we gave him the money - about four hundred dollars my husband sent by him including the Horse - We moved up here about 3 months after the purchase here. After we came here my husband owned the land and claimed to runt the land here. My husbands personal property was not much changed from time of making his will till death. I know he never changed his will. He sometimes drank liquor and sometimes was a good sober man, when he made his will he was as sober as any man living. I never heard him say he made a will when he was drunk and destroyed it when he was sober - I never read the whole of that will. I have read the writing on the back of it - and some words on the inside - I do not swear that I read the will on the day it was made - I dont swear that I opened and looked at the will after my husband brought it back from Title A name given to the resource Delaware County Ohio Will Records Vol. 3 1850-1859 (p. 395) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/c99a41cb0d22080115c6b7d182dc9dc7.jpg b6087648bacfbd70cb916c11b76bea09 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

I was about the room attending to house affairs, I heard my husband tell Mr Myers, that I was to have all the property for my life and my daughter the loose prop- erty at my death etc - I do swear that I saw the two Myers sign said Will, and understood they signed as witnesses. At the time I missed the Will from among my papers about 18 months after husbands death, I missed on other paper except a Note of $55, against Samuel Coulter - Question by C. Sweetser Esq. Did you ever have any conversation with Walter Blansfield about this will matter? Answer I dont recollect that I ever have - I dont recollect of talking to him about the Will last fall and I never did tell him that I did not know anything about my husbands making a will - I never said so to any body, and I don't know that I said to Walter Blansfield that I had good witnesses. I am here to try and get my rights, and I dont want anything more. I want the property for my own use, and so that I can give to who I please. I have never signed it away to any body that I know of, and am certain I have not unless it is to Julia Ann Fancher - and there is an understanding between myself and her about it and this includes loose property as well as the land - all the farming untensils on the farm at the death of my husband I claim belonged to him. Coulter had the use of all the personal property and has kept it till this time. If my daughter had lived there would have been no diffi- culty about this will - but I dont like Coulters 2nd wife and in short I dont think its right that the bread of my children should be given to dogs, and after I have worked hard for it. One reason there was no complaint by me about the will when Fancher had a guardian appointed first was that Coulter was then always promising to do right. Mr Coulter and I have never had any difficults, he has wronged me by taking all my property and keeping it. There was 7 head of Cattle and 16 head of sheep, a mare that died about 3 years after and was sued by Coulter while it lived, left by my husband. The note of Coulter for $55, was given for a wagon, and it was never paid to my husband or given up by him for I saw it several times after my husbands death. I never had Elizabeth Pace look over these papers for me nor did I ever know of her looking over them. If she ever looked over my papers she did it on her own look, Elizabeth is a good girl. I never read writing very well, good plain writing I could read. I cant see to read writing now. I never had the notes of Cain in my hand, and dont know that Twiggs gave them to Coulter in his life time. I kept my husbands papers for him.

I think the old man had his crops separate - they appeared on good terms up to the old mans death = Previous to the old mans buying here, when he was up looking for land he told me he wanted to sell in Licking and locate in Delaware County so as to be neared to Coulter and Parthenia. He afterwards told me he did not expect to better his condition, but he thought it would suit them (Coulter and his wife) better at his death. I have talked with Mrs Twiggs abut the property and Coulter will, but not about the Twigg will - A year or two after Coulter married his present wife, she said it was all right as to Coulter but she could not get along with his wife - She said as to the personal property that Sam (Coulter) may have used even of it in payment of debts, but complained some about it, about the land she said she did not want her dower right set off as she could not manage it and she thought Sam would do right with her. After some conversation with her about her dower right, I said I thought it would be prudence in her not to assign it away to anybody and she said she never would. She talked of both personal property and her dower interest in the land. I have at all time since her husbands death been as I supposed upon confidential terms with the old lady. I have never heard from her a claim that her husband made a will or died leaving a will. I have heard her say in speaking of Mrs Coulters will, say she supposed Rerthenia's will would hold the property.

John Perfect being duly sworn in open court, this 19th day of June A.D. 1866, deposes and says that he was present at the execution of the last will and testament of Arzal Pierce of Berkshire Township hereto annexed, that said testator, upon our being called into the room where he was, at his own residence in Berkshire Township, and to us, (this deponent and his father Thomas Perfect, the two witnesses to the said will) that the paper hereto annexed as such, was his will, do not recollect whether I saw him sign it or not, or whether he said he had signed it, do not recollect, but he said it was his will; and either he or some one asked us to sign it as witnesses; do not recollect who it was. We then and there in his presence signed the same as witnesses; he saw us do it. I suppose it to be at his request. We signed it as witnesses in his presence and in the presence of each other. The said testator was then about seventy years of age, had been unwell for many years, but was then as usual about his room. He has been for many years troubled with tape-worm; do not know whether he was then in sound mind, capable of making a will or not; do not believe he was as capable of making a will as he was five or ten years previous to that time. He was very much reduced in flesh, the poorest man I ever saw. He had been in the habit of taking opium to relieve him of the pains of the tape worm. When under that effects he was quite talkative; he has good memory in telling stories. On the day of executing the will, was not talkative. Cannot say how good his mind and memory was on that day. It was as usual. He usually attended to his own business, bought and sold property.

On cross examination say that I do not consider him then capable of making a will. Do not know of his attending to his business at that time. Did not do much or any work at that time; but cannot say but that he did as much as men usually do at his age. For some time before that I observed that he was getting worse and more feeble. It is my opinion now that he was not capable of making a will for a year or two before that. For a year or two he did not do so much work as he did before. Do not believe he did a quarter as much. He did not at that time do much business. Would myself do business with him without hesitation, if I had any to do with him. I think I might cheat him, and think I had had several opportunities to cheat him, but would not. And further say not. (signed) John Perfect. Also at the same time and place came Thomas Perfect the other witness to said will, and being duly sworn upon his oath say that he was present at the execution of said will; do not recollect whether I saw him sign the will or not; but he said that it was his will; either he or some one asked me to witness it; cannot recollect who it was or what was said; we witnessed it in his presence and in the presence of each other. I sat down at the table and the testator was in the room while we were witnessing it. He was then about seventy four years of age. Could not say but that in mind and memory he was capable of making his will. And further say not. (signed) Thomas Perfect. At the time and place came John Roberts, who being duly sworn deposed and says that some time in September last I was sent for by Ann Pierce a daughter or step dau= =ghter of Arzal Pierce to go to his house to draw his will. Accordingly went. Found him out of his house at work. He came in, and I proceeded to write his will as he directed. No one present in his west room of his house. The witnesses were sent for, who came into the room before I had entirely finished the will. Pierce, the testator, then sat down at the tablet and signed and the two witnesses stood behind him and saw him sign it. I then asked him if he acknowledged it as his last will and testament; he said he did, and then the said witnesses then signed signed it as witnesses in his presence.

Swick, the subscribing witnesses to the Codicil of said Will, who being duly sworn, testified to the due execution and attestation of said Will and Codicil. Which testimony was reduced to writing, by them respectively subscribed, and filed with said Will, whereupon the Court finds that the afore- said instrument of writing is the last Will and Testa- ment and Codicil to the same, of said Catharine Richey, deceased. That the same was duly executed and attested; and that the said Testatrix, at the time of making, signing and sealing said Will, was of full age, of sound mind and memory and not under any re- straint. It is therefore by the Court ordered, that the said Will be admitted to probate, and that the same, together with the testimony of the witnesses above named, as well as the proceedings had thereon, be entered of record in this Court.
