HOUSTON WILLIAMS WILL
State of North Carolina
County of Onslow
Will Book 1

(Note:  I can not be certain that the maker of this will was named "Houston".  
Each use of his first name is abbreviated and unclear.  The county clerk who 
originally transcribed this will may have chosen to abbreviate the name or the 
transcription may be just as the testator signed his name.  In the case of the 
subscribing witness, H--- G. Williams, again the name is abbreviated but it 
does not appear the letters following the letter H are the same as the letters 
following the letter H in the testator's name.  I chose to use the name 
"Houston" in the event the father was "Senior", but I must warn that the name 
could be "Hosea" or any other guess.  Hopefully, someone will be familiar with 
this will and can provide the true names.)
