I Sarah Walters of the County of Fairfax & State of Virginia, sensible that it is appointed unto all men once to die, and believing it to be the duty of all persons to make by will some just and equitable distribution of that worldly estate, which God in his kind providence has bestowed upon them, I desire in his holy fear to do this by the following instrument, and after humbly commending myself, soul and body, to the infinite and boundless mercy of God, through the merits of a glorious Redeemer the Lord Jesus Christ, I would say – First It is my will and desire, and I hereby direct and authorize my executors hereinafter named, to sell at public auction on such terms as they may see proper, all my real and personal estate of which I may die seized, and make all legal and necessary conveyances touting the same, viz: that tract of land lying and being in the aforesaid County of Fairfax State of Virigina left to me by my father William Adams as will more fully appear by reference to his will on record at Fairfax Courthouse, the same being fifty seven acres, more or less, as also my house and lot in the town of Alexandria D.C. lying on the Southside of Duke between Royal and Fairfax Streets and now occupied by Benjamin Lambert, all my household and kitchen furniture (except my best feather bed, bolster, and two pillows herein after to be referred to) together with all my stock of cattle, horses, sheep, hogs with all my farming implements of every description. Secondly Out of the net proceeds of sales I give and bequeath to my faithful friend Nancy Magruder the sum of one hundred dollars as full compensation for her services rendered me. Thirdly I give and bequeath to my niece Sarah A. Jacobs my best feather bed, bolster, and two pillows, as excepted above. Fourthly It is my express will that whatever right, title, interest or claim I have or may hereafter have by any construction of my father William Adam’s will whatever to three colored persons namely Mary Jane, Livina, and Lewis, children of Mary formerly the property of my fathers, which Mary with a colored boy named John fell to my late husband William Waters by lot in the division of my father’s slaves, and which said Mary was permitted to go free, that right, title, interests or claims shall cease at my death and they be free to all intents and purposes the same as if I executed a deed of emancipation, it never being my intention that the said Mary Jane, Livinia, and Lewis should be in bondage to any person.
