I CAROLINE M. HOLLOWELL do make and declare this my last will and testament revoking & making void all other wills made by me at any previous time. First, I direct that my funeral expenses & all my legal debts be paid as soon after my death as possible and of such monies as I may be possessed of or that may come into the hands of my executors. Secondly, I request that my executor erect at the expense of my estate a handsome marble couch over the remains of my late husband Dr. JOHN HOLLOWELL & that his grave be enclosed with a neat substantial iron railing. Thirdly, I give and bequeath to my brother Dr. SAMUEL R. SKILLERN during his natural life and at his death to his children the following negroes, viz; Henry & Amanda, his wife, also Augustus & Amanda's youngest child. I also wish above mentioned negroes secured to Dr. SAMUEL SKILLERN & his heirs forever. Should Dr. S. R. SKILLERN die without heirs these negroes Henry, Amanda, her youngest child & Augustus are to revert to my surviving Brothers & Sisters. Fourthly, I give and bequeath to my beloved MARTHA B. SKILLERN all the remainder of my property real & personal & mixed. I have a few small momentoes which I have requested her to distribute among my friends. Should my brother CLAUD HOLLOWELL SKILLERN survive my mother Mrs. M. S. SKILLERN I wish her to secure the negro boy Andrew now about 14 years of age to said C. H. SKILLERN. I do hereby nominate my friend THOMAS MARTIN my Executor. In witness whereof I herewith affix my hand and seal this the 11th day of May 1857. CARRIE M. HOLLOWELL. Witness: Mrs. A. P. SKILLERN, JOHN C. HOLLOWAY. Since the foregoing will was written my brother Dr. SAMUEL R. SKILLERN having removed to a non slave holding state becomes unqualified to own slaves therefore I revoke the bequest (of negroes) made in his favor & hereby bequeath to my beloved mother Mrs. M. B. SKILLERN during her life all property which may remain to my estate after my just & legal debts shall have been paid including my funeral expenses & the marble monument & iron railing directed to be placed over my beloved husband Dr. JOHN T. HOLLOWELL & a sum of five hundred which I wish given and secured to my neice CARRIE H. WINSLOW in case she should survive me should JAS. A. P. SKILLERN continue kind & affectionate to my dear mother Mrs. M. B. SKILLERN I wish her to bequeath him Augustus whom he shall hold as a slave on the condition of his providing continuing a kind master to the said Augustus otherwise he forfeits this claim at the death of my mother which I pray a merciful Heaven will long avert the small amount of property inherited by her from me should be equally divided between my surviving brothers & sister. To this Codicil, I herewith affix my hand and seal this the eighth day of November A. D. 1860. CARRIE M. HOLLOWELL (AGLL Film # V202-22, Giles County, Tennessee Miscellaneous Wills 1830-1857, p. 44, probated 1860).
