In the name of God Amen, I Thomas Hyman of the County of
Craven being of sound disposing mind and memory do make this
my last will and testament.

I give my dear wife Patsey, during her life, one third part
of all my lands including the building where we reside.  I
give my said wife the following negroes, viz. Hepney [could
be Stepney], Dinah, big Tom, Molly, Sam, Fielder, Cambridge,
Charity, Rachael, and blacksmith Godfrey to her and her
heirs forever.

I give to my son Samuel, all that part of my lands situated
in Craven County upon Hancocks Creek, which lies to the
Northward of Bounder neck gut and the South prong of said
gut, to him, his heirs, and assigns forever.

I give to my daughter Ann, all that part of my lands
situated in Craven County upon Hancocks Creek, which lies to
the Southward of Bounder neck gut, and Southward of the
South prong of said gut, to her, her heirs and assigns
forever.

I give to my sun Samuel the following negroes, Viz. Nelly,
Affrica, Bob, Ben, big Bill, Abraham, Lukey, little Bill,

and me, to my said son & his heirs, forever.

partnership of William Conway and me in the Blacksmith
business, excepting only my interest in the negroes
Willougby and Phobe, which I give to the said William
Conway.  The residue of my estate I give to be equally
divided among my wife and two children.

In case either of my children should die under the age of
twenty one years, and without issue living at their decease,
it is my will, and I do devise that the shares [?] of such
child in my estate under any clause of the will, go and vest
in the surviving child.  And in case both my children should
die under the age of twenty one years and without issue
living at the time of their decease, Then I give and devise
to Betsey Coart, daughter of my former wife, all the negroes
which I obtained by my marriage with her mother and the
residue of the negroes & personal property given to my
children & the profits arising form the same, which shall
not have been applied for and towards the maintenance and
education of my said children, I give upon the death of my
children, as aforesaid, to my wife, & her heirs forever.  My
lands, upon the death of my children as foresaid I give to
my nephew William Conway, to him & his heirs forever.  I
nominate and appoint my wife Patsey and William Conway,
Executors of this my last will and testament.  In Witness
whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal at Newbern the
25th day of April 1807.
