second day of June 1793, and my desire is that my son, Joseph Davis, 
and Joshua Loper should see that this my last will should be fulfilled.

was present and did see Mrs. Elizabeth Davis make her mark & acknowledge 
it to be her last will and Testament and at the same time, did see Mr.

that he himself did also sign his name as evidence and he verily believes 
that she was in her perfect senses at that time.
