Will of J. C. Slocumb
Wayne County Wills - NC Archives
CR 103.801.15

I J. C. Slocumb of the State of North Carolina and County of Wayne do make 
and ordain this my last will and testament in manner and form as follows.

First. It is my will and desire that my executor herein after named shall pay 
all my just debts out of the first money that shall come into his hands.

Second. I give and bequeath to my beloved wife all the balance of my estate, 
real, personal and mixed, during her life time; and after her death to be 
equally divided between my four children Thomas, Willa, Charlie and Junans - 
the division not to be made under any circumstances until the youngest shall 
have attained to the age of twenty one years.

Having but little of this worlds goods to bequeath to my dear family, I leave 
to them, I trust, an untarnished character, which is a far better inheritance. 
And I do now most solemnly commit them into the hands of that God, whom I have 
endevored to serve. He has said "have thy fatherless children and I will 
preserve them alive, and let thy widows trust in me".

Lastly. I do hereby nominate and appoint my son Thomas W. Slocumb my executor 
to execute this my last will and testament.

Lord Jesus receive my spirit Amen.

This 15th day of April 1870
acknowledged in our presence                        J. C. Slocumb
and in presence of each other July 18 1876
