WILL OF DAVID PEELLE
Be it remembered that I David Peelle of Wayne County and State of North 
Carolina being weak in body but of sound mind and disposing memory do think 
fit to settle my affairs in this life and make my will in manner and forme 
following:
That is to say, first my will is that all my just debts and expenses be paid 
out of my estate then I lend unto my beloved wife Pressila the use of my 
plantation houses and lands wherein I now dwell during her natural life or 
until my son James shall want to settle himself and in that case he shall 
have the liberty to settle on the lower part, to wit; that part below the 
branch that is now in the field and bounded by P. Branch to the head thereof 
and to nearby the same cours to Willis Peelle line; I also give unto my 
wife, after my just debts and expences , interest and my legacies 
hereinafter mentioned (illegible)of my whole personal estate of all kinds 
whatsoever unto her and her heirs forever.
Secondly, I give unto my son James Peelle upon his performing the gifts 
mentioned in the fourth and fifth paragraphs of this my will the houses, 
lands and plantation wherein I now dwell after my wife’s decease and 
agreeable to the first paragraph of this my will to him and his heirs and 
assigns forever. I give fifty dollars in money to be paid out of my estate 
to him and his heirs forever.
Thirdly, I give unto my daughter Polley Peelle fifty dollars in money to be 
paid out of my estate to her and her heirs and assigns forever.
Fourthly, my will also is that (as I confer the lands left my son James 
Peelle is too great a proportion out of my estate therefore) he shall pay 
his sister Polly, one hundred dollars when she arrives at lawfull age to 
receive it.
Fifthly, whereas I have some apprehention that my wife is with child, if so 
and it shall be raised up to maturity, my will also is that my son, James 
Peelle, shall pay to that P. Child the sum of two hundred dollars when it 
comes of lawfull age to receive it; and if it shall be a male child, my will 
also is that he shall be bound as an apprentice at a suitable age to som 
profitable trade and my will also is that if my son James Peelle shall 
refuse or neglect to pay these moneys to his sister Polley and to this newly 
conceived child as above listed, if there shall be such an one at their 
coming of age that then in that case the said land (illegible)this 
restriction only shall be sold for the moneys mentioned in the fourth and 
fifth paragraphs of this my will shall be payed to these children therein 
mentioned and the remainder clereing of the expences shall be his own.
Now to this my will I do nominate and appoint my wife and my trusty friend 
William Outland my whole and sole executrix and executor and hereby 
annulling and making void all wills heretofore made before but ratifying and 
confirming this will no other to be my last Will and Testament.  In witness 
whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and fixed my seal this twenty first day 
of eighth month, one thousand eight hundred.
Signed, Sealed and propounded in				David Peelle
