William Dick ~ 1810

In the name of God, amen. I, William Dick, of the state and county aforesaid, 
being of sound mind and memory, but weak in body and calling to mind that it 
is appointed for all men once to die, do this day make, pronounce, and declare 
this my last will and testament in manner and form following... 

In the first place, I give my soul to God, who gave it, and my body to the 
ground to be buried in a decent manner by my ancestors, and as to my worldly 
goods, I dispose of them in the following manner. 

First, my funeral expenses and debts are to be paid. 

Secondly, I leave all my moveable effects such as household and kitchen 
furniture, and all my livestock, to my beloved wife Rebecca during her life 
and also the use of the plantation wheron the widows Hutchinson and Gibson 
live. 

Thirdly, I give, devise, and bequest unto William Dick, my grandson and son of 
James Dick, all that plantation or parcel of land bounded by Hance McCanz 
[McLaine] on the north, by the court house lands on the west, by the 
plantation whereon I live on the south, and containing two hundred and forty 
acres, except three lots that have been conveyed away and including the house 
where Obediah Dick kept store, and running agreeably to the Ongonue [?] deed. 

Fourthly, I give my son Samuel Dick five hundred dollars, the amount of a note 
I have on my son Obediah Dick, or in case of his death, to his child or 
children if he has any, but if he should be dead and not having left a child 
or children lawfully begotten, then the said five hundred dollars to be 
equally divided between my sons James, Thomas, and Obediah. 

Fifthly, I give, bequest and devise unto my son Thomas Dick the plantation 
wheron I live containing about three hundred acres bounded on the north by the 
land I have last devised to my grandson William Dick, westwardly by Smith 
Moore Sands and eastwardly by land whereon the widow Gibson now lives and 
including my horse barn, orchard and old frame house. 

Sixthly, after the death of my beloved wife Rebecca, I will that my 
plantations, first mentioned, whereon the widows Hutchinson and Gibson now 
live, be sold and the money arising thus from to be equally divided between my 
three sons James, Thomas and Obediah. 

Seventhly, I will that after my wife's death, the personal estate that may be 
left, be sold and one hundred dollars of this money I give to Polly Dick, 
daughter of my son John Dick, and the residue be equally divided between my 
three last named sons, James, Thomas, and Obediah. 

And lastly, I do hereby appoint my two sons James Dick and Thomas Dick 
Executors of this my last will and testament hereby dissolving, abrogating, 
and annulling and revoking all former wills and writings testamentary made or 
executed by me. 

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal this 22nd day of 
January, 1810 - - - One Thousand Eight Hundred and Ten - - -
