I Archibald Rollow of the town of Fredericksburg and state of Virginia,
being of sound mind, memory and understanding and concerning the
uncertainty of this mortal life, so make my last will and testament in
manner and form following.
	After it shall have pleased my creator to call me from this mortal
life it is my pleasure that my just debts be paid and then I give to my
beloved wife Nancy all my estate, both real and personal of every
description for use during her natural life during which time she is to
support in comfort as has been heretofore, my daughter Betsy as long as
she may live single, and after the death of my beloved wife Nancy I desire
of my estate and property as follows.
Item I give to my daughter Betsy one half of my house and lot where I now
reside and one half of my household and kitchen furniture, to her, and her
heirs forever, provided she should marry and have increase.  But should
she die without issue, then the property to which she would be entitled
under this will shall revert to my other children hereinafter named.
	Having given to my son William Rollow, a greater proportion of my
property and estate than I can give to each of my other children, I give
to my said son William the further sum of 1 dollar to him and his heirs
forever,
Item I give to Robert Sinnall who married my daughter Polly one dollar.
	Item give to my granddaughter Mary Cox, wife of William Cox fifty
dollars to her and heirs forever.
	All the rest and residue of my estate both real and personal of
every denomination whatever after the death of my wife Nancy, I give and
devise as follows: that is to say to be equally divided between the
following persons share and share alike to wit: To my son R.... and his
heirs forever- to my son Francis and his heirs forever- to my son Peter
and his heirs forever- to my daughter Jane Curtis widow of Jesse Curtis
and her heirs forever- to my daughter Betsy in addition to the property I
have already given her; and to my grandson John Rollow, son of my son
Archibald Rollow to each of them share ad share alike to them and to their
heirs forever.
	It is my will and desire that Peter Jett of Stafford County should
remain in quiet possession of my plantation whereon he now resides so long
as he may live by paying my heirs, executors and administrators annually
the sum of one dollar.  And lastly I do hereby appoint my beloved wife
Nancy executrix and my son Peter and my grandson John Rollo executors of
this my last will and testament, hereby revoking all former wills made by
me.  In witness whereof I have here unto set my hand and seal this twelfth
