In the name of God, Amen.
I, Daniel Newton of the County of Onslow and State of North Carolina, being of 
sound disposing mind and memory, do make and ordain this my last will and 
testament in the following manner and form.
My will is that all my just debts be paid & my Executor hereafter named.  Out 
of such sale of property as they may sell from my stock and plantation tools 
or lease property rent hereafter willed.  Should that not be enough to dispose 
of such as they may think best, doing equal justice to each heir agreeably to 
their legacy.
ITEM I give unto my beloved Peggy Newton negro man Cezar and woman Edy and her 
children and grand children, that I have (illegible) twenty three in number, 
free and clear from my heirs and such part my household furniture as she has 
heretofore desired and all of my kitchen furniture and a year's provision to 
be laid off by my Executor.  My riding chair & harness and mare called (Mug or 
Meg?), my sheep and four cows and calves, and one yoke of oxen, and cart and I 
lend her the use of the plantation whereon I formerly lived with sufficient of 
timber from the woodland for her use of the same and also lend her my negro 
man Saul during her life and shall dispose of him hereafter.
ITEM I give unto (Anna?) Thompson, wife of Charles Thompson, one cow and calf 
to her & her heirs & assigns.
ITEM I give unto Elizabeth Lipsey, wife of Reden Lipsey, one cow & calf to her 
heirs & assigns.
ITEM I give unto Mereim Mades (or Maides), wife of James Mades (or Maides) a 
negro woman by the name Jinny & man by the name of Mingo to her & her heirs & 
assigns.
ITEM I give to Elizabeth Reed a negro woman by the name of Vilet & her child 
Alfred and a boy the name of Adam to her & her heirs & assigns.
ITEM I give unto William Hancock a negro boy the name of Squire & girl Jude to 
him & his heirs & assigns.
ITEM I leave to be equally divided by my Executors my negro woman Hager & her 
two children, Sely & Austen to my two grand daughters Mereum Mades & Helen 
Hancock and to their own (illegible) use giving Hager choice, which she will 
prefer.  I give in the above names to them, their heirs and assigns forever 
the above mentioned slaves.
I leave to divide between my three grand sons, Isaac, Lemuel & Leonard Lipsey 
when Leonard arrives to age as the surviving (illegible) or their lawful heirs 
of their body, one of the two negro slaves by the names of Diner and Luke to 
them or their lawful heirs of their body in case of death to the surviving and 
with leave for my executors to make a division as the boys may come to age 
provided they will divide the two negroes the above theirs, owned of their 
father.  My intention is I wish each one where he comes to age to have the use 
of one slave.
(Also?) in like manner to the surviving sons of Thomas A. Bell, my negro man 
Hank and his mother Alice and girl called Edy to be equally divided between my 
three grandsons, William, Westly, and Christopher Bell, provided they live to 
come of age or leave lawful heirs of their body for the surviving one of them 
to have the whole and in like manner I give the surviving one of them the 
plantation lately purchased of Daniel M. Dulany ----- to ------ as --------in 
the --- is my possession to them or the surviving ones or the lawful heirs of 
their bodys in fee simple I leave to be divided equally by my executor between 
Elizabeth Reed, Lemuel Lipsey and Leonard Lipsey with this provision, 
(illegible) either of my grand sons die before they come to age, Isaac Lipsey 
my grandson and the surviving are to equally divide, and should both die 
without leaving lawful heirs of their body, for Isaac Lipsey to have both 
shares the balance of my lands lying on the waters of the Northeast, for them 
to take possession immediately of all the lands except the middle plantation 
loaned to my wife during her lifetime, the lands is out of the branch that 
divides what is called the Lipsey land and the ------ in the fork of the 
branch joining the lands bought of Dulany.  I don't wish the land divided 
during my wife's life.  I then want it equally divided in such a manner as for 
the heirs to have nothing to pay on, to split from the ---to the --- line.  I 
give the lands as dis--- above to them or the surviving ones forever.
ITEM I lend to Beniter Yates the lands whereon she now lives, during her 
natural life and at her death, I give them to her sons Daniel Yates, heir 
heirs and assigns forever, and also give to Beniter Yates what hogs is there 
of mine and two cows and calves to her and her heirs and assigns and lastly, I 
give my negro man Saul choice which of my six grandson allready named and such 
selection is hereto --- not to be made till they approach nearer to age and he 
selects.  I direct my Executors to execute to such grandson a bill of sale for 
him agreeable to this will.  Whatever property I may have not enumerated, I 
leave to be sold and when my debts is paid to distribute equally between my 
six grandsons and my five grand daughters already named.  I hereby appoint my 
trusty friends Daniel Ambrose, Jesse Ward, and Richard Roberts Executors to 
this my last will and testament hereby revoking all other by me at any time 
made.  It is my desire that one of my Executors hereunto be guardian for my 
two grandsons Lemuel and Leonard Lipsey as I am now guardian for both having 
the fullest confidence in you all, my former executor being about to leave the 
State, my appeal to you, I trust, is not in vain.
