    " In the name of God, Amen, I, Adam Sherrill of the County of Rowan
and the province of North Carolina being in perfect health and memory,
praised be God, do make this my last will and testament as followth:  I,
give and bequest unto my son Adam, one Negro fellow, called and known by
the name of 'Vail' to him and his heirs forever after my decease.
    " I give and bequeath unto my son Quillar one Negro after my decease
if either one, besides Vail, and in case I should have no others after
my decease I give my son Quillar thirty pounds in lieu therefore to be
raised out of my estate after my decease to him and his heirs.
