LEWIS CANADY WILL

County of Onslow
Will Book 2

State of North Carolina}
Onslow County}
I, Lewis Canady, being some what infirm in body but in sound sense & mind & 
memory, calling to mind the mortality of my life, a body & knowing that it is 
appointed unto all men to die, I make & ordain this my last will & testament.
First, I give & recommend my soul to God who gave it & my body tot he earth 
from whence it came to be buried in a Christian manner at the termination of 
my life.  As touching my worldly estate wherewith it has pleased God to bless 
me, I dispose of it in the following manner, to wit:
First, I lone to my beloved wife Elizabeth Canady that part of my plantation 
lying to the north west of a crop fence, with a ditch along running to fence, 
with all the improvements thereunto, belonging together with my dwelling house 
& field around about it and all the improvements thereon with all the 
plantation tools and farming utensils during her natural live or widowhood.  
Also, I lone to my beloved wife Elizabeth Canady her choice of my working 
horses, also fore cows & caves, also two hed of beef cattle & two sows and 
pigs & my hogs enough to fatten for her years meat & as much of my crop as is 
sufficient for her years provision; also four uses & lambs & my stock of bees 
together with my household & kitchen furniture.  I now make a division line 
through my plantation between my sons and daughters, beginning at the mouth of 
a branch that makes down between my new ground & little island fields, thence 
running north twelve east to a little meadow, near my old coopers shop; then 
with a line of marked trees to the old pattent line, I give unto my sons Jesse 
Hill Canady & Uriah Bigs Goodman Green Canady all my lands ly8ing to the north 
west side sed line & if either of them dies without issue, the survivor is to 
inherit the whole.  And I give to my five daughters the balance of my land 
lying to the East of the aforementioned line & to my daughter Hop's children, 
on e hundred dollars to be left in the hands of my executors to be given to or 
bestowed on them as they think & the balance of my unmentioned property to be 
sold at my (vandue?) and after defraying my funeral expences and just debts, 
the balance to be divided equally amongst all y surviving children.
Moreover, I leave to my two youngest daughters to each of them a cow & calf, a 
feather bed & furniture a piece & to my grandson Lewis, one cow & calf also.  
I leave my sons Jesse H. Canady & Uriah (Bliss?) Canady my executors, this 
March the 13 day 1844.
