Record of Wills, Book A
1800-1825
Onslow County, North Carolina

In the name of God, Amen.  I, Frances Eslick of the State of North Carolina 
and the County of Onslow, being sick and weak in body but of sound and perfect 
memory, do make this my last will and testament in manner and form following.  
That is to say, first I commit my soul to the Almighty God that gave it and my 
body to the earth from whence it was taken, to be buried in such decent manner 
as my executors hereafter named shall think proper and as taking such worldly 
estate as the Lord has lent me, my will and meaning is the same that is to 
say, I frustrate and make void all wills by me formerly made and make and 
appoint this my last will and testament in manner and form following, viz:

Item:  I give and bequeath unto my loving wife Sophia my whole land and 
tenants house and household furniture and all plantation utensils, team and 
stock of all kinds, the whole to be at her disposal during her natural life or 
widowhood, then to be equally divided among all my children, beginning with my 
son Samuel, all that is then living & I appoint Jonathan Ketchum and Isaac 
Landen Esq., executors to this my last will and testament, in witness 
whereunto I have set my hand and seal this 11th of January in the year of our 
Lord 1814.

					Frances (his X mark) Eslick (seal)

Signed and sealed in presence of Test:
Richard L. Hatsell
Samuel Eslick

Onslow County:  In court July term 1816.  This will of Frances Eslick was 
proved in open court by the oath of Richard L. Hatsell.
