Onslow County, North Carolina

In the name of God, Amen:  I, John Jarrott of the State of North Carolina & 
County of Onslow, being sick & weak of body but of sound mind and memory, 
thanks to God, & knowing that it is the common lot of all to die, do make and 
ordain this as my last will & testament with respect to such worldly goods as 
it hath pleased God to bless me & desire that it may be disposed of in manner 
following, (viz.):

My first desire is that my body be decently buried at the discretion of my 
executors to be hereafter named.
ITEM: I desire that all my just debts be faithfully paid.
ITEM: I give unto my sister Rhoda Gornto all my lands & the implements thereon 
during her life, and at her death to her heirs forever, also all my stock of 
hogs, horses & cattle, all my household furniture & plantation tools, also my 
canoe & stock of bees, & hand mill & horse cart, to her during her life and at 
her death, whatever shall be remaining to be equally divided among her heirs 
and to them forever.
ITEM: My desire (is) that all the residue of my property not before given, 
shall be sold at six month credit and whatever monies shall remain after my 
debts are paid, I give to my sister Rhoda Gornto forever.  And I do hereby 
constitute my good friends William French and John Gornto executors of this my 
last will and testament, utterly revoking & disannulling all others by me 
heretofore made, declaring this to be my last, in witness whereof I have 
hereunto set my name and affixed my seal this 24th day of April in the year of 
our Lord 1804.
