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

In the name of God, Amen:  I, Dexter Farnell, of Onslow County in the State of 
North Carolina, the fifteenth day of February, in the year of our Lord one 
thousand eight hundred and twenty two, being weak in body but of perfect mind 
and memory, thanks be to God for the same and considering the uncertainty of 
this life, do make and publish this my last will and testament in manner and 
form following, that is to say, first I will that all of my just debts and 
funeral charges be paid and discharged.  Secondly, I give and bequeath to my 
brother John E. Farnell my land, both by lot and deed, when he arrives to the 
age of twenty-one years, to him and his heirs and assigns forever.  But until 
then, I give the use of my lands to my two brothers Isaac and Micajah.  
Thirdly, I wish all my other property to be sold and equally divided amongst 
my mother, Esther Marshall, and Hepsey Farnell when convenient with my 
executors after settling my affairs.  I do nominate and appoint my brother I. 
G. Farnell my whole and sole executor of this my last will and testament in 
witness whereof I hereunto set my hand and affix my seal the day and year 
above written.

					Dexter (his X mark) Farnell
