Will Book 1

In the name of God, Amen.  I, Zachariah Littleton Sr., of Onslow County and 
State of North Carolina being in a low lingering state of health, but of a 
sound mind and disposing memory, do make and ordain this my last will and 
testament in manner and form following that is to say…
I wish my body buried in a decent Christian like manner at the discretion of 
my executor hereafter named, and secondly I want all of my just debts paid.
ITEM I wish my wife Elsy to have the use and benefit of all my lands cleared 
and uncleared during her natural life for her use and the advancement of my 
two youngest children, John & (Guy or George ?), but if my wife should marry 
again, then I wish her to have only one third part of the cleared land during 
her life.
ITEM I wish at the death of my wife or at her marriage for my lands to be 
equally divided amongst all my children which I have had by both of my wives.
ITEM I wish all my perishable estate to be sold by my executor and the 
proceeds thereof to be applied to the payment of my debts, and the balance of 
any be equally divided amongst my three young children, Redding, John & 
Guy(?).  Then I nominate, constitute and appoint David W. Sanders my whole and 
sole executor to this my last will and testament revoking all other wills by 
me made and acknowledging this to be my last will witness whereof I have 
hereunto set my hand and seal the 12th day of May AD 1831.
