In the name of God, amen: I, Mary Vaden, of the State of North Carolina, Wake 
county, being of sound and perfect mind and memory, Bless be God for the same! 
do, this 13th day of May, in the year of our Lord, 1862, make and publish 
this, my last will and testament, in manner following:

After paying all my just debts: First, I give and bequeath to my executor or 
executors hereafter mentioned, and their survivors, the following property, 
viz: All my lands now belonging to me - one tract adjoining Jesse Bunch and 
William Parrish, and one other tract adjoining Benjamin Marriott and others, 
containing two hundred acres, more or less, in trust for the use and better 
support of Willis Pace and his wife, Susan Pace, during their life, or the 
survivor of them during life. And at their death my will and desire is that 
all the above named land, (say two hundred acres,) be equally divided between 
Willis Pace's three sons, share and share alike - that is, I give and bequeath 
the said land to Sidney T. Pace, Presley P. Pace and Wesley W. Pace, to them 
and their heirs forever.

I give and bequeath to Mazra J. Pace, one feather bed, stead and furniture.

I give and bequeath to Ann E. Pace, one feather bed, stead and furniture.

I give and bequeath to Burline L. Pace, one feather bed, stead and furniture.

I give and bequeath to Sidney T. Pace, one feather bed, stead and furniture.

I give and bequeath one feather bed, stead and furniture, to W. W. Pace.

I give and bequeath to my executor or executors hereafter mentioned, and their 
survivors, in trust for the use and support of Willis Pace and his wife Susan 
Pace, during their natural lives, all my stock of horses, cattle and hogs, and 
all my household and kitchen furniture, and one gig and harness, one cart and 
wheels, one side and one man's saddle, and all my farming utensils; also all 
my money and notes, the interest of which, my will and desire is, may be 
applied to the support of the said Willis Pace and wife, Susan Pace, during 
their lives; and none of the above named money and property to be subject to 
the disposal or debts of the said Willis and Susan Pace. And at the death of 
the said Willis Pace and wife, Susan Pace, or the survivor of them, my will 
and desire is, that his six daughters, viz: Matha B. Bagwell, Phntha O. Bunch, 
Mary H. Pace, Mazra J. Pace, Anne E. Pace and Burline L. Pace, receive equal 
dividends, share and share alike, from my executor, all the money and notes 
then in hand, to them and their heirs forever.

Also at the same time, my will and desire is, that the above named daughters, 
with the said Willis Pace's three sons, Sidney T. Pace, Presley P. Pace and 
Wesley W. Pace, making nine of them, receive, share and share alike, equal 
from my executor, all my stock of horses, cattle and hogs, household and 
kitchen furniture, and all other perishable estate, not above given away, to 
them and their heirs forever.

I do hereby nominate and appoint my friends Joseph Fowler, Jr., and Daniel 
Scarborough, executors to this my last will and testament.

In witness whereof, &c
