Additional Comments:
Will of Reden Williams of Duplin County, NC signed by him on 30 December 
1849.  The first paragraph has his name spelled "Redding" but he signed 
it "Reden" and all indications are that this is the correct spelling he used.
 
I made this transcription from a copy of the original (which was hand written) 
that I obtained from the Department of Cultural Resources, Archives and 
Records Section, Raleigh, NC 27699-4614.  Please note that I made the 
transcription with any errors as shown on the original (i.e. double periods at 
the end of many sentences).
