           In the name of God Amen.
I  RICHARD JONES of the County of Greene, and State of North
Carolina, being of sound and perfect mind and memory, (blessed
be God) do this the 18th day of March A.D. 1872 make & publish
this my last will and testament, in manner following, that is to say:
     First I give my soul to God who gave it, my body to be disposed 
of as my friends see fit.
  As for my worldly estate, I dispose of it as follows; first, I want
all my just debts paid.
I give and bequeath unto my beloved wife, MAHALDY JONES, and
my beloved daughter, SARAH JONES, all the tract of land I bought
of OWEN W. JONES, and JAMES F. JONES jointly, and if I have any
perishable property left after paying my debts, I leave that to my
beloved wife, MAHALDY JONES. I give and bequeath to my son-in-
law SILAS EDWARDS twenty seven and half acres of the land that
I bought from JOHN G. BRITT for and in consideration of the money
he has paid toward said land.
I give and bequeath to my beloved daughter ANN EDWARDS, all the
balance of the tract of land I bought of JOHN G. BRITT, that has not
been deeded away, and given away heretofore, and I also appoint
THOMAS MOORE Executor of this my last will & Testament.
