LETITIA SHACKELFORD WILL
State of North Carolina
County of Onslow
Will Book 2

NOTE:  The name "Elisha Shackelford" is used in the body of this will, 
including the copied signature, indicating the testatrix to be "Elisha 
Shackelford".  However, in the order to record at the bottom of the will, the 
transcriber names "Letitia Shackleford" as being the testatrix.  I have 
transcribed this as the "LETITIA SHACKELFORD WILL" because of the references 
to "Elisha P. Marcey" in the body of the will, indicating "Elisha Shackelford" 
to be the daughter of testatrix.  Perhaps there is a researcher who can 
confirm the identity of the testatrix.  (bgc 11-02-2001)

In the name of God, amen.  I, Elisha Shackelford, being of sound and perfect 
mind and memory, do make and publish this my last will and testament, that is 
to say, I give and bequeath to my son James P. Shackelford my negro man Abram 
and a bed and furniture and for him, the said James, to pay to Elisha P. 
Marcey three hundred dollars.  Also I give and bequeath to my daughter Elisha 
P. Marcy my Negro man Bob, a bed and furniture.  Also I give and bequeath to 
Zadoc Marcey and children ten dollars.  Also I give and bequeath to the heirs 
of Moriah Pigot ten dollars, they having received equivalent heretofore.  Also 
I give and bequeath to Hannah S. Russell my negro woman Polly with all my 
stock, crop, household and kitchen furniture, with every thing else to me 
belonging for her, the said Hannah, to pay my just debts.
And I hereby make and ordain my friend David Ketchum Executor to this my last 
will and testament.  In witness thereto I have set my hand and seal.
