First, I desire all my just debts to be paid by the proceeds of he crop now on harvest the crop in cultivation and such part of my perishable estate, not hereafter specifically divided. I give and bequeath unto my beloved wife Frances the tract of land whereon I now live lying on Twitties Creek composed of the several parcels of land bought of May Thweatt and Mullins during her natural life only.

I do will and desire that my son Robert and my two daughters Sally and Peggy may lie with their mother as long as she may think proper and if at any time she shall desire that Robert shall so live separate and part from her. In that case I do direct that the above tract given to my wife for life may be divided by a line drawn from a ford on Twitties Creek near the big log so as to divide the Spring now used by my family and from thence to be continued so as to divide the said tract into two equal parts. Robert is then to take immediate possession of the northern moiety and my wife will retain in her possession the southern moiety only. With regard to the spring my meaning is that they shall equally enjoy the benefit and use of it however it may hereafter change its course of situation. After the death of my wife I give to my son Robert the whole of the tract of land first given to my wife for live to him and his heirs forever. And in case my two daughters Sally and Peggy outlive their mother and remain unmarried, it is my will and desire that they live with my son Robert and work their hands jointly with his.

I lend to my daughter Molly Shelton during the joint lives of herself and her husband one hundred acres of Land of the horse pen tract beginning on Brooke line and running parallel with MCargo’s line back to my line making the parcel of one hundred acres of equal worth. I also lend to my said daughter Shelton my slave Kate and a girl named Judy during the joint lives of herself and husband and after their deaths, I will and desire the said one hundred acres of land to be sold, and the money arriving therefrom together with the said two slaves Kate and Judy, and their increase to be equally divided among my said daughters children. It is my will and desire that the residue of my horse pen tract of land be equally divided between my three sons Jeremiah, Matthew, and Martin and their heirs having regard in the division to quality as well as quantity- and I will and desire the division to be made that the plantation in which Matthew lives may have a due proportion of adjoining land, and that the plantation on which Martin lives may have its due proportion of adjoining land, and that the residue of the tract may appertain and go with the mill and that in the division the value of the mill shall not be estimated. After this division is made it is my will that Matthew shall be entitled to that allotment on which he now lives, that Martin shall be entitled to that allotment on which he lives, and that Jeremiah shall be entitled to the residue with the mill to them and their heirs forever. I do lend to my daughter Collier during the joint lives of herself and husband a negro girl named Betsy, a negro girl named Polly and a negro girl named Mary and after their deaths to be equally divided among my said daughter’s children.

I will and direct that after the death of my wife, my negro woman Sarah be liberated from any service except what she may voluntarily render and I do hereby direct and request that she may live with either of my children she may choose hereby meaning and intending that she is not to go at large, but to remain with any child she may choose of her discretion. Also the residue of my property both real and personal I desire may be sold and my debts due to me to be collected and the monies applied to the discharges of my just debts, and if there with the crop on hand and crop growing shall not be sufficient to pay all my debts I do direct that the whole of my estate both real and personal may be kept together until by the crops the whole of my debts shall be fully discharged and should it be necessary to help my estate together I wish and direct during that time my wife and two single daughters may have a comfortable maintenance. It is my will and desire that wherever I have given female negros, the future increase from this date shall be considered as part of the gift and upon the same terms of the gift.
