		 Clerk of the Superior Court

In the name of God, Amen, I Winefred Jones of the State of North Carolina & 
County of Wake  Plantay (?) being poorly in body but of a sound and disposing 
memory & mind do make and ordain this last Will and Testament at the same time 
utterly revoking all others or former wills made by me declaring this to be my 
last Will and Testament in manner & form as follows: Viz:
First I give to Dellilah Laseter or the serving (sic) [surviving] heirs of her 
body fifty cents.
2nd  I give to Mary Utley (Daughter of Allen Utley) one brindled cow and calf 
in payment for waiting on me, while in low state of health.
Thirdly, I give and bequeath to the rest of my children or their heirs an 
equal Share of the remainder of my property after paying my Funeral expenses 
and all my just debts, that is to say I wish my property to be sold on a 
credit of twelve months, and the money arising from the sale thereof with what 
money I have coming to me, and what I have in hand at my decease to be equally 
divided between the rest of my children though some of them be dead, I wish 
their heirs to have what would be a living one's part.  I here  name my 
children's names the Dead as well as the Living, that is to say Abigail, 
Rebecca, Laban, Alvin, Josiah, Delpha, Bethany, Chrischany, Mary, Zilpha and 
Charity.   At the same time I do appoint William Betts, Augustin Turner and 
Augustin Jones executors to this my last [Will] and Testament.  In witness 
whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal this Sixth day of May in the year 
of our Lord  one Thousand eight hundred and forty.
