In the name of God, Amen. I Thomas Marlow of the County of Iredell & State of 
North Carolina, being of sound mind and memory, Blessed be God.  Do this 22nd 
day of November in the year of our Lord One Thousand Eight Hundred & Four make 
and publish this my last Will and Testament in manner following.  That is to 
say:
First of all, I reccomend my soul to God who gave & my Body to its native 
dust, to be buried in a Christian like manner at the discretion of my 
Executors. And as to my worldly goods that it hath been please God to bless me 
with my will and desire is that they be disposed of as follows. 
I give and bequeath unto my beloved wife Sarah Marlow two milk cows, her 
choice of the stock, two work horses with the plantations tools, ten head of 
hogs, four head of sheep, also two feather beds & furniture and the one half 
of my cupboard & kitchen furniture. I also lend unto my said wife the use and 
profits of my dwelling house and plantation with the use of two negroes to 
wit: George and Mary, during her natural life & after her decease to be 
considered as part of my estate to be disposed of as hereafter directed.
Item: I give and bequeath unto Littleberry Bray the sum of five Shilling 
Sterling.
Item: I give unto the heirs of sd. Bray the sum of five Shillings. 
Item: The whole of my estate real and personal, that is not already 
bequeathed, my will & desire is that it be equallly divided between my 
children hereafter named. That is to say:
(The Children or Legal Representatives of Priscilla Edwards deceased, to be 
entitled to the same as she would were she yet alive) Patsy Pendry, Robert 
Marlow, Anna Wiles, Elijah Marlow, Thomas Marlow, and John Marlow.  And in 
order that each of the above named children may have an equal portion, I 
direct that those of them that I have put in possession of any property in my 
life time shall before they are entitled to their portion, give an account of 
such estate to my Executors hereafter named, that an equal division may be 
had, and should any upon exibiting such account (or it should otherwise be 
made appear that he or her has had more than their rateable part) then and in 
that case he or they to repay back such sums as may be found over their equal 
part. And in order for the better execution of this my last will and 
testament, I make and ordain my son Elijah Marlow & Thomas Wiles Executors of 
this my last will. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal the 
day and year above written.
