1812 Apr 3 – 1814:  Capt. William Chisolm correspondence accepting appointment as Captain of Infantry and waiting for orders in Elbert County, Georgia.  Letters Received By The Office Of The Adjutant General, 1805-1821

On July 22, 1812 William Chisolm advises that he has previously served as Colonel of the 28th Regiment First Brigade Fourth Division of Georgia Militia since Feb 20, 1808.

1814 March 2 – William Chisolm advises he needs to take time for personal business – it appears his father-in-law Richard Easter writes his will in March 1814 – so likely this had to do with his father-in-law’s estate and preparing for his death. Richard Easter must have been ill at this time.

1814 March 23 – Will of Richard Easter, dated 23 March 1814 – probated 4 July 1814. Elbert County, Georgia
Legatees:
… wife Mary Easter, a horse and chair, a home such as she desired.
… son John C Easter, a slave Abram; and he is to be sole executor.
… I give to the heirs that are or may be born of my daughter Elizabeth L Chisholm, to her and her heirs that are or may be, slaves Mary & Zadoc, bed and furniture, etc, already delivered to them.
… son Richard J Easter, a slave Simeon, bed and furniture.
… son William F Easter, a slave, Henry, bed and furniture.
… my will that my negroe woman Sally be emancipated on the 15 day of October next provied that such emancipation shall not affect my claim to her offspring previous to that date.
… I give to my granddaughter Maryann E Easter the child that has been or may be born of the above mentioned negroe woman Sally between the 21 of this Inst and the 15th of October next.
… If is my will that all real or personal estate to me belonging not herein before disposed of be sold and the money arising from the sale thereof with all monies that may be collected from bonds notes or accounts due me be applied to the payment of my just debts and the carrying into effect my first bequest in this my last will and testament.
… whereas the above distribution of my estate does not make the shares of my sons Richard J Easter and William F Easter equal to the shares of my son John C Easter and the heirs of my daughter Elizabeth L Chisolm, it is therefore my will that at the decease of my wife Mary Easter that so much of the property herein before willed to her for her natural life, as will make the shares of the said Richard J Easter and William F Easter equal to the shares of John C Easter and the heirs of Elizabeth L Chisolm be delivered to them.
… and the balance of said property with its increase to be equally divided between John C Easter the heirs of Elizabeth L Chisolm, Richard J Easter, and William F Easter.
… Lastly, I hereby appoint John C Easter sole executor of this my last will and Testament …
Signed: R Easter

1815 – Captain William Chisolm’s correspondence during War of 1812 in Letters Received By The Office Of The Adjutant General, 1805-1821. The first letter asks for 20 days furlough to take care of personal business. The second letter advises he needs several months to take care of his personal business.  Again, this appears like it is likely related to taking care of Richard Easter’s estate who has died – Richard Easter is his wife’s father.
