  Will	24 Sep 1819	Chester Dist., South Carolina   [3]
  	To daughter Elizabeth Jaggers (a slave Nancy); to son John Jaggers (money from Elizabeth); to son Thomas Garret Jaggers (money from Elizabeth); to her estate (credit from Elizabeth); to daughter Martha Jaggers (a slave); to son-in-law William Estes (money from Martha); to son Elisha Jaggers (a girl slave Amy); except Amy to remain with her mother, Nancy, for one year and provided for by Elizabeth; "beloved sons" Thomas Garret Jaggers and Elisha Jaggers executors; John P Roden, Mary Roden, and Nancy Sealy witnesses
  	This is easily the most ridiculous will we have ever encountered. Apart from the absurdity of willing people to one another, there is the aspect of attempting to force the living to make purchases at the behest of the dead, not to mention enshrining a welshing on debt. The punchline is that under the legal conditions of the time, Elizabeth did not own any of the people, who were already willed by her late husband. We believe that since her estate and her husband's are kept in the same packet that this will was contested and ultimately discarded.
