I Peter M. Reeves of the state of Virginia and County of Halifax being of 
sound mind & disposing memory though feeble in body do make this my last 
will and testament in manner & form following, Viz 1st  I wish all my just 
debts to be paid as soon after my death as practicable.

kitchen furniture, all of my plantation tools (?) all of my stock of every 
description, together with the entire crop which may be in hand at the time 
of my death and also the tract of land upon which I now live with the mill 
thereto attached, the said tract of land to extend to Thorntons line on the 
North and include the mill pond and on the East-side of the creek far enough 
to include all the bottom land down to its junction with the West branch of 
Runaway Creek in fee simple to have and enjoy as she may think proper and at 
her death to dispose of as she pleases.  But in case my wife above named 
should marry her second husband shall not have the right to dispose of any 
of the above named property – either real or personal but she may dispose of 
it as she may think proper among her own children
3d  I wish all the remainder of my land not mentioned above equally divided 
among all my children, that part in coming to my daughters to be theirs 
their lifetime, and at their death their childrens.  As witness my hand and 
seal this 4th day of March one thousand eight-hundred & seventy-six 1876.
