It should be noted this will was penned by William Nail. One reason the will was contested is due to the fact Mary, John Parham's wife and Elva, his daughter, died before him.

Morris, Simeon Selby, John D. Morris, James Ormes, Mary Ormes, Wiliam D. Brown. John Tollett,
Anderson M. Crofford, Cravens Sherrill, and T.G. Schoolfield. Their testimony is included in this
fifty page document. An inventory was also given in this document. It should be noted the area where the Parham family lived was Bledsoe County during 1850 but the area became Cumberland County when it was formed in 1856. |
