URIAH CANADY WILL
State of North Carolina

Will Book 1

In the name of God, Amen.  I, Uriah Canady of the County of Onslow and State 
of North Carolina.  I, Uriah Canady sen., considering myself in right mind and 
having my perfect senses and memory, blessed be God for the same, I do make 
this my last will and testament on the thirteenth day of December in the year 
of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and thirty six.
1st I recommend my soul in the hands of Almighty God who gave it.  2nd that my 
request is that all my just debts be justly paid and all my funeral expences 
to be paid out of my estate.
3rd I give and bequeath unto my oldest son James Canady a certain piece of or 
parcel of land whereon he now lives included as follows: beginning at the 
mouth of a branch near the landing on (Beaqlens?) Creek, running up said 
branch to the back line, then with the back line to said (Beaglen's?) Creek or 
branch, thence down branch and creek to the first station.
4th I also give and bequeath unto my other two oldest sons, David Canady and 
Richard Canady a certain piece of land bounded as follows: beginning at the 
mouth of said Branch with my oldest son's beginning on Beaglens Creek, thence 
the various courses of said creek down to the mouth, thence up Fulwoods Creek 
to the old Bridge, thence strait out with a crop fence as it now stands to the 
first pair of bars, then from said bars a strait course to the outward corner 
of my garden from my house, thence from the corner of my garden (and?) direct  
to my back line, then with back line to this division line between James 
Canady and my other two oldest sons with the first named branch beginning at 
the landing
(NOTE: the following words were lined through: "unto my youngest son Elijah 
Canady")
to Beaglens Creek.
5th I also give and bequeath unto my youngest son Elijah Canady to hold with 
David & Richard Canady's line a piece of land beginning at the old bridge on 
Fulwoods Creek, then up said creek to the mouth of the first branch, thence up 
said branch to (Hannakes?) branch, thence up (Hannakes?) branch to the back 
line, thence bounded with the back line and last division line to the old 
bridge.
6th I also give and bequeath unto my son Zachariah Canady a certain piece of 
land lying and bounded as follows: lying out back of (Hannahes?) branch, 
beginning at the head of said branch running with my back line the various 
courses of said line round and down to the above named branches Elijah Canady 
line.
7th I also give and bequeath unto my loving wife (Ufamy?) Canady during her 
natural life all of my perishable property consisting of stock, household and 
kitchen furniture, farming utensils, her to hold during life or widowhood, 
then to be sold and equally divided between all of my daughters, viz.
Tabitha, Rebecca, Eliza Ann, Elizabeth, Rachel, Marenda.  I also give and 
bequeath to my daughter Rebecca Canady one cow & calf to be obtained this 
coming spring.
9th My will also is that my two sons, James and David Canady, pay unto my wife
