Georgia, Emanuel County Personally came into the Honorable in the Inferior Court setting for Ordinary purposes Daniel Green and Samuel Green who being duly sworn on the Holy Evangalist deposeth and said that they saw Geneper Hall Sr. sign, seal, acknowledge, publish and declare the foregoing to be his last will and testament and that he, the said Geneper Hall Sr., did ordain and appoint John Love and Martha Hall, his wife, to be his true and lawful executor and executrix to his said last will and testament, and that the said deponents did assign the same as subscribing witnesses at the request of said deceased and also saw Rueben Martin assign the same as subscribing witness.

Samuel Green

Sworn to and subscribed in open court the 7th day of January 1828. Test: John Chason, Clk. C.O. } the Executor and Executrix duly sworn this day and date above specified } recorded 7th January 1829
*Notes:
(1) Geneper is the correct spelling, since in the original will, the same cursive letter used for Georgia is definitely the same used to spell Geneper.
(2) Martha Hall is his wife at the time of his death, Martha Thigpen Hall, daughter of Travis Thigpen and Hannah Hardy-Hall Thigpen
(3) There are seventeen individuals, other than wife Martha, given shares of the estate, i.e. John, Travis, Bowling, Cyrus, Daniel Green, Lyman, Edaline, Patrick, Robert, James, Nancy, Elizabeth, Geneper {Jr}, Thomas, Kindred, William Hall and Mary Darcey. Most, but not all, are referred to as son or daughter directly, but they share the estate as such. The first seven children are definitely Geneper and MarthaÂs. The 1820 and subsequent Emanuel County censuses supports this theory. The remaining children mentioned would have been from a previous marriage or marriages in Montgomery or Washington counties in Georgia or even in North or South Carolina.
(4) Co-executors are John Love and wife Martha Hall.
(5) Witnesses are Daniel Green, Samuel Green and Rueben Martin. The Green family could be in-laws since a son was named Daniel Green Hall
(6) There is support for the first wife of Geneper being a Braswell, since a family of this name lived close by with given names of Kindred, Robert, Nancy, Elizabeth and Thomas Braswell.
