	Worsley, Reddin will & estate file.  	Worsley, Reddin will... 
Being of sound mind and memory do make this my last will in manner and 
form as follows.  1- I give and bequeath to my sister, Mary E. Worsley 
two hundred dollars.  2- I give and bequeath to my sister Eathaline 
Worsley Worsley two hundred dollars.  3- I give and bequeath to my 
(neace Lasos) Mc. D. Proctor two hundred dollars.  4- I leave the rest 
and residue of my estate as a standing amount to Martha A. Pope the 
anual interest to her use yearly and principle as a standing amount.  I 
request S.L. Spicer or Henry G. Worsley to carry out the above will; 
this 1st day of September 1884.  Signed Redding Worsley, wit. M.W. 
Proctor, W.E. Bradley. Will proved by the oath of S.L. Spicer who 
stated that he knew Reddin Worsley very well and lived within a quarter 
mile of him.  Redding had come to his (Spicer’s) house and ask him to 
write out his will, which he did.  Redding was in bad health and almost 
blind.  Sometimes he was so nervous and tremblous that he could not 
write.  Spicer had known Redding all of his life and he knew he was of 
good mind and memory when he wrote the will.  Affidavit signed 8 Feb 
1888, signed S.L. Spicer, wit. B.J. Keech, CFC.  Application for 
Letters of Administration were filled out by Carter Pope on 23 Jan 
1888, stating that he was the proper person to administer the estate.  
Worsley had an estate valued at about $850 and Martha A. Pope was his 
only surviving child and she had renounced her right of administration 
in favor of Carter Pope.  Signed Carter Pope.  NOTE: File did not state 
if Carter Pope was appointed as administrator or if the will was proved 
and one of the executors named was qualified.  NCA, Edgecombe Co. Wills
