Will of NATHAN HANDCOCK

	In the name of God amen.  I, Nathan Handcock of Orange County and 
State of North Carolina, being very weak in body, but in my senses and common 
mind do make, constitute, and ordain this my last will and testament.  In 
witness whereof I commit my soul into the hands of my creator and my body to 
be buried at the discretion of my friends and executors.

	And as for my worldly goods, I give and bequeath them as follows:

	1st.  My negro boy, Bill, my horse, saddle & bridle, I leave to be 
equally divided amongst my brothers, Robert Handcock and Roger Handcock and my 
sister Polly Handcock, after paying all my just debts and giving one hundred 
dollars to my sister Polly's little daughter, Heneritta.

2. My bodily clothing, I leave to be equally divided between my two brothers 
before named.

3th.  I also make, constitute, and ordain Mr. James Thimbrough, executor to 
this my last will and testament, in witness where of, I set my hand and seal 
this eleventh day of April, in the year of our Lord, one thousand, eight 
hundred and sixteen.

Signed, sealed, and delivered 
In the presence of Thomas Cottrell &
Jeu (?) E. Arnold

Signed Nathan Handcock
