Will of
Wesley Moore
State of South Carolina,
Spartanburg District.

The last will and Testament of Wesley Moore,

1.  I give and bequeath unto my sons Elihu and Mansel Moore the 2 horses which
they claim and which they now have in possession, to them their heirs and assigns.

2.  As soon after the present crop on my plantation is gathered as may be
convenient, it is my will that all my property both real and personal, be sold
by my Executors (except one half of the present crop which belongs to my two
sons Mansel & Elihu) on a credit of Twelve months, with interest from the day of
sale, and all my just debts paid out of the proceeds, and the balance equally
divided between my wife Vianna Moore, and my children, Mansel Moore Elihu Moore,
Louisa Moore, Mary Moore, Sarah Moore, & susan Moore, and if my wife, Vianna
Moore, whom I believe to be pregnant, should bring forth a living child, and it
should live to be five years old, I wish it to have an equal share of my estate,
with my wife and the other children, and if any of my children who are under
age, should die before they are twenty one years old, or before they marry, it
is my will that their share of the estate return back and be equally divided
between the surviving legatees, nothing in this item to be considered so as to
prevent any one of the legatees or their heirs from receiving their full share
of my estate if they should marry and then die before they are twenty one years
old, & when any of them arrive at that age their share to be theirs alsolutely
to dispose of as they please whether married or single.

ever they think proper and give one fourth of the proceeds to my son Mansel
Moore, which fourth belongs to him, and with the balance of the money pay a debt
I owe in Columbia and the balance to John S. Rogers on a debt of $33.88 ½ which
I owe him with interest from from the time I recd the mony.

4.  I hereby ordain and appoint & constitute my friends, John H. Walker and John
S. Rogers, as Executors of this my last will and Testament, who I also appoint
as guardians of my minor children, Stacy, Sarah, and Susan and the one that may
be born and become an heir hereafter, untill they become twenty one years ole,
