In the name of God, Amen.  I, John Fisher, being weak of body but of perfect 
sound mind and memory, thanks be to God for the same, calling to mind the 
mortality of body and knowing it is appointed for all men once to die, I make 
and ordain this my last will and testament in manner and form as following.

and land and stock of every kind and household furniture during her widowhood

she should have the use of one third of my land during her life and a child's 
part of my moveable property forever.
ITEM:  I leave all of my land and plantation whereon I now live to be divided 
by a branch making out of the lowest near end to ford, from thence to the head 
of said branch, thence a straight course to a prong of the big branch, from 
thence to the various courses of said branch to the head, and from thence to 
the back line to be divided between my son William Fisher and Jos. Fisher, to 
them and their heirs forever.  And William is to have upper part of said land.
ITEM:  I leave that I bought of Daniel Loyd be sold.
And, I do hereby appoint, constitute and ordain William Norman and my wife 
Sary Fisher my executors to this my last will and testament, revoking all
