Georgia Greene County. Know all men by these presents that I, James Foster, for and in consideration of the love and eternal affection which I have for my daughter, Julia D. Willy, as well as for the sum of five dollars, to me in hand paid do give, grant, and convey to Thomas F. Foster in trust for my said daughter, Julia D. Willy, and for the sole and separate use during her natural life, the following negroes to wit: Stephen, a man, Lizzy, a girl, Scithea, a woman and her three children by name, Charles, Richard, and Sidney and their increase, and at her death if she have any children or child living, I give the said negroes and their increase to such children or child, but if she should die without any child living at the time of her death, then I give the said negroes to be divided equally among my children then living, the children of any of my children which may die before the death of my said daughter, Julia D. Willy, to have the share to which its parent, if living would be entitled.
In testimony whereof I do hereto set my hand and seal this 1st day of July 1842.
