I Harry Piper of the Town of Alexandria in the Colony of Virginia, merchant being in good health and perfect memory (blessed be God) do this twenty first day of November one thousand seven hundred & seventy four, make and publish this my last will and testament in manner following (that is to say) Imprimis I give to my sister Elizabeth Sargent four hundred pounds sterling. In case of her decease before this will shall take effect, my desire is that that sum may be equally divided among her children. Item I give to my sister Jean Walker (the wife of William Walker) four hundred pounds sterling. In case of her decease before this will takes place, my desire is that that sum may be equally divided among her children.

As a small toke of my friendship for my relation John Dixon esq, I hope he will accept of my gold watch. My faithful servant Charles hath served me long & I hope from my treatment of him during the time of his servitude he has seldom reason to feel the pain of his being a slave, and advise fortune might go hard with him, therefore it is my will and desire if he is in my possession at the time of my death that he may then be set free. It is not convenient for me to comply with the laws of this Colony prescribed for setting of slaves free, yet I hope while he continues to behave well, if he chooses fit, he may still live in this Colony unmolested, but if there should be any danger of his being taken up & sold, it is I hope I shall have some friends left to interfere in his behalf. It is my desire if that should be the case that he may be sent to England or any other place he may choose where he can be free of the expense of his passage to be paid by my executors. My desire is that my wearing apparel may be equally divided between my brothers & sisters before mentioned. If I shall die at Mr. Ramsay’s in Alexandria, I desire that ten pounds may be given to the house servants to be divided by Mr. Ramsay. I give and bequeath unto my brother Anthony Piper all the residue or remainder of my estate both real and personal to him, his heirs, and assigus forever. And I acknowledged, constitute & ordain my brother Anthony Piper & request my good friend John Dixon Esq. will join him as Executor of this my will.
