SALLY HUMPHREY WILL
State of North Carolina
County of Onslow
Will Book 2


I, Sally Humphrey, 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, suitable to the wishes of my relations and friends, and pay all 
funeral expences, together with my just debts, howsoever and to whomsoever 
owing, out of the monies that may first come into his hands as a part or 
parcel of my estate.
ITEM I give and devise unto my beloved son John Humphrey all this tract of 
land whereon I now live to have and to hold to him and his heirs in fee simple 
forever, subject, however, to the performance and payment of forty dollars to 
my beloved son Lewis Humphrey as herein after directed.  I further give and 
bequeath unto my son John Humphrey, my old mare, and bed bedstead & furniture, 
one cow and earling and all of my household and kitchen furniture, except such 
as are herein after particularized and bequested to my other children, all of 
my farming utensils, all of my hogs and all of my corn and fodder, bacon and 
provisions of every description and three sheep.
ITEM I give and bequeath unto my beloved son Lewis Humphrey forty dollars in 
money, to be paid by my son John Humphrey as aforesaid out of the land given 
and devised to him.  I further give and bequeath unto my son Lewis, one filly, 
two sheep, one cow and earling, one large clothes chest, one bed, bedstead & 
furniture.
ITEM I give and bequeath unto my daughter, Sally Jarman, one big spinning 
wheel and one clock reel.
ITEM I give and bequeath unto my beloved son Seth Humphrey one cow and 
earling, one bed, bedstead & furniture.
ITEM and whereas my youngest son Lewis is a minor and not of the age of twenty 
one, therefore my will and desire is that my son Stephen Humphrey is hereby 
constituted and appointed his guardian to have and hold the custody and 
guardianship, both of his person and estate, untill he shall arrive at the age 
of twenty one years.  And lastly, I do hereby constitute and appoint my 
beloved son Stephen Humphrey, 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 & testaments by me heretofore made.
In witness whereof, I the said Sally Humphrey do hereunto set my hand and seal 
this 12th day of March AD 1844.
