1800-1825
Onslow County, North Carolina


In the name of God, Amen.
I, Isaac Charlescraft of the State of North Carolina and County of Onslow, 
being very sick and low in body but of perfect mind and memory, blessed be God 
for the same, and calling to mind the mortality of my body and knowing that it 
is once appointed for all men to die, do make, ordain and constitute this my 
last will and testament.  First, I give and recommend my soul into the hands 
of Almighty God and my body to the earth to be buried in a decent Christian 
manner not doubting but at the general resurrection I shall review the same 
again by the might power of God that gave it.  And as touching such worldly 
estate as it hath pleased God to bless me with in this life, I give , dismiss 
and dispose of the same in the following manner and form;
First:  I give to my son Daniel Charlescraft all that tract of land lying to 
the eastward of Alex Nowles patent line known by the name of French's place 
and the remainder of my land to be equally divided between my two smaller 
sons, Durant and Anthony, to be divided from the river to the head line of the 
patent and my upper plantation.  Reserving only my wife Sally Charlescraft 
life or widowhood in all my lands, all the rest of my property I leave to be 
equally divided between my wife and Fanny Huggins and all my children.  My 
wife's part to be to her during her widowhood, then to be equally divided 
between her own children; Daniel Charlescraft, Nancy Charlescraft, Naoma 
Charlescraft, Durant Charlescraft and Anthony Charlescraft.  I likewise 
nominate and appoint my son Daniel Charlescraft executor of this my last will 
and testament with William French and Edward Graham of Craven County executors 
in witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and affixed my seal this 16th 
day of March 1817.

					Isaac Charlescraft (seal)
