Will of George Newton, deceased

In the name of God, Amen. I, George Newton of the county of Orange, being very sick
and weak in body, but of sensible mind and memory, thanks be given unto God, calling 
to mind the mortality of my body, do make and ordain this my last will and testament. 
And first of all, I give and recommend my soul into the hands of God that gave it, and 
my body I recommend to the earth to be buried in a decent Christian burial, at the 
discretion of my Executors, and as touching such worldly estate wherewith it hath pleased 
God to bless me in this life, I give, devise and dispose of the same in the following 
manner and form. First, I give and bequeath to Mary, my dearly beloved wife, during her 
widowhood, all my estate, real and personal, and all the right priviledge of in and to 
the same, provided and it is my will that she cause my two youngest children Sarah and 
John, and my daughter Lette's child Elizabeth, to be schooled as far as she may think 
necessary, and that my children under age and my wife Mary, have their support from the 
produce of my lands and moveable property. And it is my will that after my wife's decease, 
all my land and the remainder of moveable property, be sold and the moneys arising from 
such sale to be equally divided between all my children and grandchild Elizabeth, 
viz, Lette Newton, William Newton, James Newton, Henry Newton, Isaac Newton, George
Newton, Robert Newton, Sarah Newton, John Newton, Elizabeth Newton, daughter of
Lette, and I make and ordain them, my wife Mary, and my two sons Henry Newton and George
Newton, sole Executors of this my last will and testament. And I do hereby disannull all 
and every former will and testament, executors by me in any wise heretofore named, willed 
and bequeathed, ratifying and confirming this and no other to be my last will and testament. 
In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and seal this nineteenth day of February 
in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and one.
Test:
James Latta, Jr.
Henry Newton
                              George Newton

Will was proven in open court at the May term of 1801, and ordered to be recorded.

                              J. Taylor, Clerk


Additional Comments:
At the time this will was written, Orange county, NC was very large. It has since
divided into five counties and George Newton's land lay somewhere in what is now Person, 
Caswell or Granville Counties.
