In the name of God amen. I, John Dickey, of Iredell County and State of North

First, I give and bequeath unto my son, John Dickey, my own riding horse, 
saddle and bridle and silver watch and the remainder of my estate, real and 
personal, I hereby direct to be divided into three equal shares by my 
executor, one of which to go to my beloved wife, Elizabeth Dickey. One other 
to go to my Daughter, Peggy Dickey and the other to go to my son, John Dickey.
And I do constitute and appoint my trusty friends, Neal Bradley, Hugh Gray and 
John Huggins my sole executors of my last will and testament. And I also 
further ordain and appoint my friends, John and Robert Johnston (Robert 
Johnston is most likely the father-in-law of the orphans' half sister, 
Elizabeth (Dickey) Johnston), guardians of my two children, Peggy and John 
Dickey and their estates.
In testimony whereof I, the said John Dickey, have to this my last will and 
testament, set my hand and seal this ninth day of January, one thousand eight 
hundred and eight.
John Dickey
