"And I do furthermore in and by this My last Will & testament Nominate and appoint My Son Isaiah and Lewis Jones to Execute this My Will.
"April 12th 1856 - (signed by Daniel Jones)"

"I Daniel Jones do hereby cancel and revoke so(?) much(?) of my Will dated the 12" as given to my Daughter Nancy Meek an equal portion of My estate and I desire and intend that she shall take and have no more of my estate than is specifically given to her in said Will of said date afs'd and in the property bequeathed & given to her by my last Will of which this Codicil is a part, I desire and hereby make this alteration to Wit" that My Negro Girl, Mary, given to said Nancy in said Will shall go back to or rather remain with and make and form a part of my estate which by the terms of this my last Will latered as above Named, will be divided equally between My Sons Isaiah and Lewis Jones and My Daughter Eliza Ann Green and that she shall take out of my estate three Hundred Dollars, the price named for Mary and in lieu of Mary, and that she shall take her no more out of my estate.
