Will of James William Carr Bush
State of North Carolina
Bladen County
In the fear of God Amen.  I William J. C. Bush of the state and county above 
being in feible body condition but of sane and reasoning mind knowing the 
uncertainty of life and the certainty of death do make and ordain this my last 
will and testament to wit:
1st  It is my will that my property remain undivided durring the life  of my 
wife and the life of my daughter Mary.  It is my will that my sons Neil G., 
Thomas S., and Oliver L., and Osborne cultivate the land and attend the mill 
and care for all the interests on the place as at present and that they give 
their mother for her use and my daughter's Mary one third of the product of 
all the land and mill.  That they strive to manage for their mother so that 
she may have plenty and want for nothing.  
2nd  If my daughter Mary shall survive her mother then it is my will that the 
one third which was alloted and given to her mother be given to her durring 
her life and that my sons continue to act for their faithful and affectionate 
sister as for their mother.
It is my will that after the death of my wife and daughter Mary all my 
property both personal and real estate shall be equally divided between my 
remaining children.
