	Will of Robert Marsh
	
	In the name of God, Amen. I, Robert Marsh of the County of Chatham & 
State of North Carolina, being in perfect mind and memory, thanks be given to 
God, calling to mind the mortality of my body & knowing that it is apointed 
for all men once to die, do make & ordain this my Last Will & Testament, viz.
	
	Principally & first of all, I give & recommend my soul into the hands 
of almighty God that gave it me & my body to the earth to be decently buried 
at the  discretion. Nothing doubting, but at the general resurrection, I shall 
recieve the same again by the mighty power of God, and as touching such 
worldly estate wherewith it hath pleased God to bless me with in this life. I 
give, demise & dispose of in the following manner & form.
	
	 First, I give & bequeath to my unmarried children the sum of twenty 
pounds each North Carolina currency to be paid at their marriage to be raised 
& levied out of my estate. Also, I give unto my son Charles Marsh the sum of 
five shillings sterling; and the balance of my estate to be equally divided 
betwixt the rest of my children: John, William, Robert, Joseph, Henry & 
Elexander my sons and Elizabeth Brantley, Barbara Griffith, Mary Hackney, 
Nancy Dilliard, Martha Lambert, Sarah Davis, Frances Taylor, Eliza Stuart, and 
Henrietta, my daughters.
	
	 And I do hereby constitute make and ordain William Marsh & Daniel 
Hackney the sole executors of this my Last Will & Testament, & I do hereby 
disanul, revoke & disallow all & every other former testament, wills, 
legacies, bequests & executors by me in any wise before named, willed & 
bequeathed, ratified & confirming this & no other to be my Last Will & 
Testament. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal this 
fourteenth day of March in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred & 
one
	Robert Marsh (Seal)
	
	Signed, sealed, published, pronounced & declared by the said Robert 
Marsh as his Last Will & Testament in the presence of us who in this presence 
& in the presence of each other have hereto subscribed our names.
