Will of Penelope Maner:
In the name of God Amen.  I, Penelope Maner of the County of Edgecombe,
and State of North Carolina, being of sound mind and memory, do this the
25th day of March 1854, make, publish and declare the following to be
and contain my last will and testament, viz,

First I give and bequeath to my son Thomas L. Maner the sum of one
hundred and ninety six dollar (196$) and lawful interest thereon from
this time, until the time of my death - which sum and the interest
thereon, I wish paid out of the first money, which shall come to the
hands of my Executors hereinafter named

Second I give and bequeath unto my son-in-law James Pitt the sum of one
hundred and sixty dollars ($160) to have interest from this time until
my death & to be paid at the same time as that bequeathed to my son
Thomas L.

I have been induced to make the above bequests to Thomas L Maner and
James Pitt in consequences of losses sustained by them as Creditors and
Trustees of my son Matthew J. Manor, who is now believed to be dead.  In
case he is living and returns home and pays the said Thomas L. Maner and
James Pitt the above sum either before any death or within two years
thereafter, then the above mentioned bequests are to be considered as
revoked by one-third I give and bequeath unto my daughter Charlotte Pitt
wife of James Pitt my negro woman [Yancy/Janey] and her increase forever
and to her Executors and administrators.

Fourth My will and desire is that the residue of my property be sold by
my Executors on a creditor of six months with interest from the day of
sale, and that the proceeds after paying my debts and the legacies
before mentioned, together with the expenses of settling my estate be
equally divided between my children Thomas L. Maner, Joseph [H] Maner,
John C. Maner, Charlotte Pitt wife of James Pitt and Matthew J. Maner,
if living, but in case he is dead then to be equally divided between the
four children first mentioned.

Fifth I hereby nominate, constitute and appoint my son & son-in-law,
the said Thomas L. Maner and James Pitt, Executors of this my last will
and testament.

It witness whereof, I have hereunto subscribed my name and affixed my
seal, the year, month and day first abovewritten.
