REBECCA HARRELL WILL
State of North Carolina
County of Onslow
Will Book 2


I, Rebecca Harrell, of the County of Onslow and State of North Carolina, being 
of sound mind and memory, but considering the uncertainty of my earthly 
existence, do make and declare this my last will and testament in manner and 
form following, that is to say;
First that my executor (hereinafter named) shall provide for my body a decent 
burial and pay all funeral expenses together with my just debts, howsoever and 
to whomsoever owing out of the moneys that may first come into his hands as a 
part or parcel of my estate.
ITEM my will and desire is that my estate both real and personal be sold, and 
the debts owing to me collected, and that the whole be kept or retained in 
trust, and at interest, by my executor and be disposed of by him in the 
following manner, to wit:
ITEM In the first place, pay annually to my beloved daughter Catharine A. Foy, 
wife of James H. Foy, the interest obtained on said moneys or capital in case 
the said Catharine calls or demands the same.
ITEM It is my will and desire, in case my said daughter Catharine should be in 
destitute or needy circumstances (she being the sole judge in matter) during 
her coventure with the said James H. Foy, then and in that case, my executor 
shall pay to her, such part of the capital or principal money as she the said 
Catharine may from time to time call for or demand.
ITEM it is my will and desire in case my said daughter Catharine should be 
left a widow, that the whole amount of the principal and interest then 
remaining in the hands of my executor shall be paid to the said Catharine, 
should she require, wish or demand it to be done.  But should my said daughter 
Catharine die during the life of her husband, the said James H. Foy, then and 
in that case it is my will and desire that my executor retain in his hands the 
unexpended balance of my estate, untill my grand daughter Susan Foy arrives to 
the age of twenty one years, when one moiety shall be paid to her, and the 
other moiety shall be retained untill Laura Foy arrives to the age of twenty 
one years, when said moiety shall be paid to her.  But should the said Susan 
or Laura, both or either of them, die before they arrive to the age of twenty 
one years, then the moiety intended for the one so demised, or all as the case 
may be, shall be paid to the surviving issue or issues of the said Catharine, 
on their arrival to the age of twenty one years, share and share alike.  But 
in case the said Catharine should leave not surviving issue, then it shall be 
paid to Nancy C. Duffy, if she be alive; if not, to Emma and Elizabeth, 
daughters of the said Nancy C. Duffy, to be equally divided between them, if 
they be alive or all to the surviving one of either be dead and if both be 
dead, all to the surviving issue or issues of the said Nancy, share and share 
alike to them and each and every of them absolutely forever.
And lastly, I do hereby constitute and appoint my friend, Bryan S. Koonce, my 
lawful executor to all intents and purposes, to execute this my last will and 
testament, according to the true intent and meaning of the same, and every 
part and clause thereof, hereby revoking and declaring utterly void all other 
wills and testaments by me heretofore made.
In witness whereof, I the said Rebecca Harrell do hereunto set my hand and 
seal this fourteenth day of March AD 1851.
