Transcription of Thomas King Sr. Will--Orange Co., NC

State Of North Carolina

Orange County

I Thomas King, being far advanced in years, but of responsible mind to 
make this my last will revoking all others heretofore made by me. It is 
my desire that all my just debts be paid and that only a sufficiency of 
my property be sold to pay them.

Secondly, I give to my dearly beloved wife, Elizabeth King, tract or 
tracts of land whereon I live--supposed to contain one hundred and fifty 
acres and one half adjoining the lands of James Walker and others.

Also my stock of every description also every species of property I may 
leave at my death of any kind of description and any debts that may be 
due me the above property I leave to her during her natural life.

Thirdly I give to my son, Thomas King, my youngest son, the land above 
mentioned after the death of my wife--to him and heirs forever.

I give to my daughters, Dicey King and Martha Ann King all the property 
my wife may have at her death to be equally divided between them or 
their heirs forever. 

I nominate and appoint my friend, James Leathers, Executor and my wife, 
Elizabeth King, Executrix to this my last will and testament. Signed 
this 18th day of January 1832
