               MOSES JOHN DeROSSETT'S WILL.

IN THE NAME OF GOD AMEN. I, Moses—John DeRosset, 
of Wilmington, in the province of North Carolina, practioner 
in physic and Surgery, being of sound and disposing mind and 
memory, do make this my last will and testament, in manner 
and form following, that is to say:

First of all, I order that my executors hereinafter named do
pay all my just debts and funeral expences; Also I give, be- 
queath and devise all my estate, both real and personal, of 
what kind or quality soever, to my beloved wife, Mary, and 
to my daughter, Magdalene-Mary & my son, Armand - John,
their heirs and assignes forever, to be equally divided among, 
them, share and share alike; and I do make my said wife exec- 
utrix, and my brother, Lewis—Henry DeRosset, and my friends, 
John DuBois, James Moore and Marmaduke Jones, esquires, 
executors of this my last Will and testament, hereby revok- 
ing all wills by me heretofore made.

And I do also nominate and appoint my said executors to 
be guardians of my said son and daughter until they shall ar- 
rive at the age of twenty one years of age respectively. And 
in case both my children should die before they shall arrive at
age, or the day of Marriage, then it is my will that my whole 
estate should belong to my said wife, to hold to her heirs and 
assigns forever.

In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand & seal & 
published this as my last will and testament, the thirtieth 
day of November, in the year of our Lord, one thousand, 
seven hundred and sixty seven.
