This is a transcription I did of this document which is in the files at the Jennings County Public Library - not from the books at the courthouse but the actual will. A number of old court files were given to the Library years ago because they were damaged by a leaking water pipe. Over the years they are being cleaned and copied (we still have the originals in our Archives. I was working from a new copy of the original. They are hard to read and I do the best I can but do not change spelling - I use this particular will as a teaching aid when giving classes on doing Family History at the Library because it illustrates how name spelling can be different in one set of documents. Pagett is spelled at least three different ways. It is also a will and a codicil and has the proof of will with it. So using all these you can see that he signed the last version of his will on October 23, 1862 and it was Proven on October 30 of 1862 - since the will is proven in court after the Testator's death it means he died between those dates. Lots to learn in one set of documents. Sheila Kell, Local History & Genealogy Librarian, Jennings County Public Library.
