In the Name of God Amen.

I John Doyl of the State of So Carolina and Darlington Distric5t being in a low
State of bodily health but in my perfect mind & memory do constitute and ordain
this my last will & testament as follows.  In the first place I command my Soul
to God who gave it in hope of a Joyful resurrection at the last Judgement
through the Redeemer.

And as to this worlds affairs I wish my Body to be decently interred after the
common custom; in the next place as to the property it has pleased God to bestow
on me I wish it disposed of as here after mentioned:  

In the first place I will & bequeath to my beloved wife Mary Doyl three head of
horses, one cow, an yeling, three head of sheep and all the money that is due
with all the household and kitchen furniture and plantation tools until hir
death and after hir death the property to be sold and the money that is due me
now I desire it to be laid out in land for my two youngest sons Elias & Enor
Doyl and the above property to be divided Equally between all of my children.

In the second place I will to my beloved sons Elias & Enor Doyl all the stock of
cattle and hogs formerly called theirs & is their heirs and as signs forever
this the 4th day of March 1817 John Doyl (his mark).

Sined in the presence of James Watson, Thomas Meltar, Shephard Ruffun.

Additional Comments:
This was transcribed from a typed transcription, date unknown.  There are
multiple misspellings and I do not know if these were included in the original
will or were made by the original transcriber.  

The spelling of "Doyl" has been recorded as Doyle, Dial, Dyall, and Dyal.  His
children spelled their name Dyall and subsequent generations dropped the second
"L" and used the spelling "Dyal".

I have always seen his youngest son's name spelled "Enoch" instead of "Enor". 
Again, I do not know if this was an error made by the original transcriber or if
his name is actually "Enor".
