State of North Carolina, Onslow County, In the name of God, Amen

this my last will and testament.

during her natural life and after her decease, I give it to my two youngest 
sons, John Scott and Edward Scott, for the love and good will I have for them.
I leave John Scott my son a mare called Cate, one cow and calf and one feather 
bed and I leave to my son Edward Scott one horse by the name of Jack, one cow 
and calf and one feather bed.  To my son James Scott, I leave five dollars; 
unto my son William Scott, I leave five dollars; to my daughter Betsey 
Penawil, I leave one dollar; to my daughter Becky Scott, I leave ten dollars; 
and to my daughter Mandy Ellis, I leave ten dollars; to my daughter Marindy 
(Kellum?), I leave ten dollars; and to my daughter Elender Scott, I leave one 
cow and calf and feather bed.
I hereby appoint my son John Scott Executor to my last will and testament in
