John LONG, Sr.* 5 May 1790. Weak in body. My son-in-law EBENEZER S(PRU)ILL & my granddaughter HANNAH SPRUILL keep what I have already given them & have 1 shilling apiece. My son-in-law ANTHONY ALEXANDER & the heris of my dec'd daughter KEZIAH keep what I have already given & have 1 shilling apiece. My daughters PRISCILLA WATERS & DORCAS SIMONS keep what I have already given them & have 1 shilling apiece. To my son JOHN LONG all my property. ------ Executors: My son JOHN LONG & my friend ISAAC LONG (signed) JOHN LONG Wit: James Long, Edward Phelps. Probated Jul Term 1790 before Mackey, CC. ------------- Note: * The usage of "Senior" is this era does not necessarily denote a father / son relationship, but only that the person in question was the eldest of those in the family or town with that particular name. In fact, this "John Long, Sr." is really, by modern usage, "John Long, Jr." as his father was also John Long. (probably -- a younger John Long is an heir mentioned in the will of John Long, carpenter, dec'd 1757, but the relationship is not mentioned in this will.)
