In the name of God, I, Hannah Adair being in a low & afflicted state & calling 
to mind the frailly and mortality of us may think proper do make & constitute 
the following my last will & testament-I do commend my soul & body into the 
merciful hands of that God from whom I received them, trusting in him to save 
through the merit of his son Jesus Christ. It is my desire that my heirs bury 
my body in a decent Christian manner, hoping & Believing God will raise it at 
the great resurrection day. It is my will after the following sums are paid to 
some of my grand children, to wit: to Patsey Gamble the sum of fifty dollars 
to be paid to her when she comes of age-to Jinny Beavers one cow & calf & to 
all the rest of my grand children whose parents are now dead the sum of one 
dollar. Then all the rest of my property consisting of negros, stock & 
household furniture to be sold & equally divided among my living children, 
viz: Elenor Rammage, James Adair, Hannah Meddors, Susannah Castles, Nancy 
Langstone-with all the money I may leave & debts due to me on note or other 
wise to be equally divided among the above mentioned children, with crop or 
any other, property belonging to me & I wish Susannah Castles part to be given 
to herself for the use of her children. It is not my will that William Castles 
should have any management of it, but that it should be the property of my 
daughter Susannah & her children after her and I do hereby constitute my son 
James Adair as my executor to put this my will into affect & I do hereby 
certify & declare this to be my last will & testament, given under my hand &

Jesus Christ one thousand eight hundred & twenty six & in the fiftieth year of 
the independence of the United States of America. Signed in the presence of
