In the Name of God Amen  I William Scott of Richland County do make and appoint

lawful debts are paid I do give unto my beloved wife one third part of my 
estate real and personal during her life and after death to be equally divided 
amongst all of our children and all the remainder of my estate I wish it to be 
equally divided amongst all my children and as I have already give the 
Riverswamp tract of land unto my sons William Scott and Samuel Scott to be 
equally divided between them and all my Pinewoods land on the Northeast side 
of Tom’s Creek I have already given to Samuel Scott and I do wish all those 
lands to be appraised by proper persons and to be counted in as part of their 
portions and all the Negroes that any of my children has already received of 
my estate I wish them to be appraised and to be counted as part of their 
portion -- and as I have paid to Elizabeth Dinkins at divers times the sum of 
five hundred dollars I wish that to be counted as part of her portion -- 
and all Negroes that any of my children do now hold that was my property or do
hereafter receive of my estate I do wish them to be entailed to them and their 
lawful heirs -- and as for my executors I do appoint my sons William Scott and 
Samuel Scott to be executors of this my last will and testament as witness my 
hand and seal this twentieth day of April in the year of our Lord one thousand
