Trying to Transcribe - Will of Solomon Bond of Iowa- Pt 1

Yesterday I completed the will of my 2nd great-grandfather, Solomon Bond, who died in Linn County Oregon. Today I am beginning the will of his grandfather, my 4th great-grandfather, Solomon Bond, who died in Mahaska County Iowa, probably in 1851.

I also want to declare my appreciation that my 2nd cousin, Robert Bond, alerted me to this will document which was located online. Again I repeat, if you see any errors, please contact me.
