In the name of God, Amen:  I, Joseph Lilliebridge, in the County of Onslow, 
State of North Carolina, being sick & weak in body but of perfect mind and 
memory, do this 18th day of January in the year of (our) Lord one thousand 
eight hundred and two, publish this my last will and testament in manner and 
form following, that is to say, I commend my soul into the hand of Almighty 
God who gave it me, and my body to the earth in hopes of a joyful resurrection 
through the merits of my savior Jesus Christ, and as to that worldly estate 
wherewith it hath pleased God to bless me, I dispose thereof as follows, to

and legacies.

the money not to be paid him unless he arrives to the age of twenty one years 
but to remain under the direction of Sally Farr, wife of John Farr, and the 
money to be hired out upon interest, the interest to be collected yearly and 
added to the principal, but if the said Gardner Perry should die before he 
arrives to the age of twenty one years, then my will is that the said six 
hundred dollars with all accruing interest shall be equally divided among the 
children of my daughter, Sally Farr.
ITEM: I give and bequeath unto my daughter Sally Farr my two mahogany tables,

them, share & share alike to them & their heirs forever.
ITEM: All the rest and residue of my estate, both real and personal, within 
the state of North Carolina and not before given away or disposed of, I order

giving notes with good security before the property shall be altered, and out 
of the monies arising from such sales and the debts due me, both at home and

necessary funeral expenses etc., I direct my executrix to pay and reserve the

full age or marry.

the same to the children of my said daughter Sally Farr and my grandson 
Gardner Perry to be divided between them, share and share alike, their heirs 
and assigns, but should the said Gardner Perry die before he arrives to the
