Onslow County, NC, Will Book A, page 83, 1765 - 1825,

In the name of God Amen, I CLARISSA MITCHELL, of the County of Onslow and 
State of North Carolina; being weak in body but of sound mind and memory do 
make and ordain this my last will and testement in the following manner to 
wit:

First: It is my will and desire that all my negroes and other property that is 
not hereafter given away be kept for my son NAT. LOOMIS MITCHELL until he 
arrives to the age of twenty one years together with all then the increase at 
which time I give the said property to him his heirs and assigns forever.

It is my will futher that my beloved husband DAVID MITCHELL if he wishes to 
keep the negroes if he should settle himself in the County for him to do so if 
he will raise and support the same and also the expense of raising and 
supporting my son the said NATHANIEL until he arrives to the age of twenty one 
years if he lives that long. It is my will and desire that my beloved husband 
DAVID MITCHELL should have one of the mares I bought of M. Lipsey a certain 
grey mare called Blaze.

Item: It is my will that my brother-in-law Nathaniel Loomis and my sister 
Alice Loomis raise my son NATHANIEL and see that he is educated in a manner 
suitable that he may be useful in life and that the expense be defrayed out of 
the property left him and if the said NATHANIEL L. MITCHELL should die and my 
beloved husband DAVID MITCHELL should die then for the property to go to my 
brothers and sisters and their representatives that is if they should die 
before the time the property should come into the hands of my son NATHANIEL L. 
MITCHELL.	

And I so hereby nominate and appoint my trusty friend Nathaniel Loomis and 
Lemuel Doty the Exrs. to this my last will and testement. In witness where of 
I have set my hand and seal this 26th day of November 1809.

Signed, Sealed and Delivered in Presence of us
