Written: November 7, 1851

This is the Testor Will of,
 William B. Morgan of Nash , son of, Hardy Morgan of Nash, son of James 
b:1707, and Elizabeth Morgan. of Edgecombe Co. NC. After studing Hardy's will 
and William B. Morgan's will and the will of  William J.B. Batchelor, sister 
Quilly nices to Quilla Lamon Bachlor she has  named her son Hardy Batchelor. 
Aquillia is the sister of Wm Morgan. 

 Also the name Alsford apears on Hardys will and William B. Morgan’s. The 
Batchelor's will's are posted on line at www.bjhughes.org/batcwill.html 
 
William B Morgan,
Nov. 7, 1851. "For the love and affection and good will which I have for Polly 
Earp.....who has lived in my service for seven or eight years... she has done 
a dutiful part of hireling and waited on my sister and my mother on the bed of 
affliction... I give and grant for good attendance my colt, ect., bed, and so 
long as she lives I want her to have twenty gallons of Brandy per year and a 
home her lifetime under good quility, not to make distruction nor havoc of the 
plantation"  Part of this will is illegiable, but it appears after the death 
of Polly Earp a nephew of William B. Morgan named William Alston (or Alford) 
is to have $125, and the heirs of Henry Morgan are to have $10 each and E H 
Morgan is to have a legacy - all this sale of the divisor. Ex: John B. Rice. 
Wit: William Earp, William D. Strickland.
 
(Evan H. mother is Jammia Strickland he has to be a g-son of Hardy’s)

(William B. states, Henry is his uncle in Rutha Rev War pension records 
regarding the bible records of John Sr., John Sr is not his father, as his 
William died 1798, Henry is his uncle that leaves Hardy as William B. father 
as named in Hardy’s will)!

 The records show that a suit was brought by John Morgan and Lamon Witley, 
objecting through their  attorney, William T. Dorch, to the probate the will 
of William B. Morgan. However, following proper investigation, ect., the will 
was admited to probate. No dat. John B. Rice refused to serve as executor and 
E. H. Morgan was named admisinstrator. (Henry is brother to William B. and 
Evan H Morgan is most likely a  g-son of Hardy or Henry)
