Charles Blackley's Last Will and Testament

I expect it to be a while before I am able to add new material to the Charles Blackley family story.  In the meantime, I'll post a few of my research findings that may be of interest.  Below is Charles' Last Will and Testament.  It was written 17 July 1816 in Knox county, Tennessee and was submitted to court for probate in October of that year.  This document provides the married names of Charles' daughters, including a daughter who had presumably preceded him in death (wife of Joseph Adamson).

The last Will and Testament of Charles Blackley dec'd was produced to Court for probate, whereupon James Covey & John McMillan, two of the subscribing witnesses thereto, made oath that they saw the said Chales Blackley deceased sign seal & heared him pronounce publish and declare the same to be his last Will and testament and that he was at the time of publishing the same of sound mind and memory to the best of their knowledge and belief and that they saw Jacob Adamson sign his name as a concurring witness to the same which Will is ordered to be recorded and is in these words, to wit, 

"I, Charles Blackley of the County of Knox & state of Tennessee, being weak and inform in body but of sound mind and memory do hereby make and declare this my last Will and Testament in the words following,  

(Viz) First, I give and bequeath to my beloved wife, Margaret Blackley, all my household furniture and the land I now live on during her natural life & at her Death the land to decend to my son, Joseph Blackley, containing one hundred and forty six acres. 
Second, I give to my son, James Blackley, one dollar. 
Third, I give to my son, Alexander Blackley, one dollar. 
Fourth, I give to my Daughter, Sarah Williams, one dollar. 
Fifth, I give to my son, Jesse Blackley, one dollar. 
Sixth, I give to my daughter, Agnes Dodd, one dollar. 
Seventh, I give to my daughter, Mary Routh, one dollar.

Ninth, I give to my son-in-law, Joseph Adamson, one dollar.

I further give and allow my son, Joseph Blackley all my stock of Beasts of every kind and farming tools & all dues owing by him, paying all my just debts of every description and furneral expenses & what ever other expenses may necessarily accrue on the execution of this my Will.
