Will of William Mitchell of Mobile, Alabama 1820 Part II - Original

 ...Continuation from my previous post here.


   After finding the clerk’s handwritten transcription of William Mitchell’s Will on Ancestry, I did some extra digging and discovered the original Will—a rare find! This provided clearer details on names, certain words, and, most importantly, punctuation. My transcription in the previous post reflects this.
