In the name of God, Amen. I, Samuel Beatty, of Armstrong County, Perry Township, and
State of Pennsylvania,  being in sound mind, memory and understanding, thanks be to
Almighty God for the same, being remindful of my mortality, do make and constitute
this, my will and testament.
First, and principally, I recommend my mortal soul to God, who gave it, in hopes of
a joyful resurrection, and my body to the earth  when it shall please God to
separate my soul and body, to be buried decently at the discretion of my
executors, and as to my worldly estate it has pleased God to bless me, I give and
dispose thereof as follows:
I nominate and appoint my friends, William Beatty and David Hertetson (??), both of
the State and County aforesaid to be the executors of this, my last will and testament.

It is further my will that my executors  shall lay off one hundred acres of land of
the east end of a tract of land lying on the Allegheny River that was wilt to me,
the testator, and William Beatty by John Beatty, Esq., deceased, which I bequeath
to Jane Campbell, Nancy Sheppard, Margarer Hall, John Guthrie Beatty, Elizabeth
Fowler, and John B. Guthrie, my sister Martha's son, to be divided equally amongst
them, by sale, or in the land as the above named heirs may think best, and I do
authorize my executors, if called to do so, to make a conveyance out of the
original deed.
And I also bequeath unto William Beatty the rest of my land which is twenty five
acres, more or less, together with all and singular, my personal.
I publish and declare this, and no other to be my last will and testament.  In
witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal this eighteenth day oof
February in the year of our: Lord, One Thousand Eight Hundred and Thirty Nine 
Signed and sealed in the presence of T.W. Sedwick and William Porter
