                 WYRIOTT ORMOND'S WILL.

IN THE NAME OF GOD AMEN. I, Wyriott Ormond, of Beau-
fort County, in the province of No. Carolina, Gentleman, am 
in health of body and sound mind, therefore put my Last Will 
and testament in Writing as follows:

I Give and bequeath to my Loving Wife, Mrs. Elizabeth 
Penelope Ormond, Five hundred pounds, proclamation money; 
Six Negroes, including those two she had from her Father, 
that is to say: Stephen, Ben, Lankeshire, Sam, Linda, Mariah; 
My English Bey Mare, And Such of my furniture as She shall 
Choose, not exceeding one hundred pounds value, to be assessed 
by My Executors, or the Survivor of them. And my desire is 
that My Executors deliver my Said Wife, the above men-
tioned Legacies as soon as Convenient after my death, which 
said Several Legacies and every part thereof, I Give to my 
said Loving Wife, and to her heirs and Assigns for ever.

Item, I Give to My Loving Daughters Nancy Ormond, and 
Sarah Ormond, the (Remainder) Remainder of my estate 
both Real and personal (Wearing Cloathes excepted), to them 
the said Nancy and Sarah, their heirs and Assigns for ever to 
be Eqully Devided between them, when they or either of them 
shall arrive to the age of eighteen Years old, or day of either of 
their Marriage, the said Devision to be Made by my Execu-
tors and Executrix or the Survivors or them. Nevertheless, 
it is my Will and desire that my Exers. or the Survivor of 
them from time to time, and at any time before such Division 
to be made between my two daughters, Sell and dispose of 
any or part of the Estate by me Given to my two Daughters, 
either Real or personal, at publick or private Sale, as they shall 
think proper, for the Benefit of my Said Children. And the 
mony arising from Such Sale, to be put on Interest or purchase 
likely Young Negroes and hire them out, together with those 
Negroes which I have herein Left them. And further, I do 
Impower my Executors or the Survivor of them to transact, 
And Manage the Estate herein Given to my two Daughters, as
they shall think necessary for the Benifit of my said (Daugh-
ters) Daughters, without Respect or Controle of the Law.
My principle desire is that of the Education of my two 
Daughters, which I strongly Rely on the Care of my Execu-
tors and each of them, Begging in my Last Moments that they 
will Continue their Love and Friendship to those little Orphans; 
And I die Satisfyed, that this request will be put in Execu-
tion, and that no Expense be thaught too Great provided it 
doth not effect the principal of their Estates; I not only mean 
that part of their Education which Respects their Schooling, 
but Every Other that Can be had for their Advantage.
My Will is that if either of my Daughters die, before they 
arrive to the age of eighteen Years of day of Marriage, the 
Surviver shall have the Whole of the said Estate, to them 
Given. And if Both of them should die before they Arrive 
to the age of eighteen years or Day of either of their Marriage, 
then it shall go, and I Give the same to my Brother, Roger 
Ormond, and his heirs And assigns forever.

I Give and bequeath my Wearing Cloaths to my Executors, 
to witt: my Loving Brother, Mr. Roger Ormond, and my 
Worthy and Honest Friend, Mr. George Barrow; and My 
Daughters, Nancy Ormond (And) and Sarah Ormond, I also 
appoint Executrix of this my last Will and Testament.
Signed, Sealed, Published and Declared in the presence of 
the Witness thereunto Subscribed, March the Ninth, one 
thousand, Seven hundred and Seventy three.

                           WY. ORMOND, (Seal)

The above and within Testament of Wyriott Ormond, deceased, was 
proved Before me this first day of December, 1773, by the Oaths of Rich-
ard Caswell, Thomas Respess, and Thomas Rispess, Junr., who deposed 
that they are well acquainted with the Hand writing of the said Testator 
and that to the best of their Belief, the same is wholly of his own hand 
writing.

And Roger Ormond, one of the Executors by him thereby appointed, 
having qualified, by taking the Oaths agreeable to Law, It is ordered that 
Letters Testamentary issue thereon accordingly. 

                                 Jo. MARTIN.
