signed 10 May 1831 
found in Loudoun Co., VA Will 2A259 1831/1842 



********

In the name of God Amen, I Ignatius Elgin of Loudoun County being in perfect 
health and of sound disposing mind and memory do make this my last Will and 
Testament in manner and form following. Having sold my farm bought of Simon S. 
Binns to my nephew Robert Elgin who has paid me a part of the purchase money, 
and still owes a balance, and not intending to press him at all for any part of 
it but wishing to indulge and serve him, I do hereby declare it to be my will 
and desire that whatever he may owe for the purchase money for said farm at my 
death shall be his and he and his heirs etc. be released from the payment 
thereof. I do therefore hereby Will and bequeath unto him and his heirs forever 
whatever balance may be due for said farm at the time of my death, and as it 
regards the balance of my estate if I make no other disposition of it hereafter, 
it is to be disposed of as the law may direct, and if I should make any 
subsequent Will and do not specially alter the above bequest, the same is to 
remain unaltered and to be considered in fact my last will and Testament, in 
relation to that matter. 

In Testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and affixed my seal this 10th 
day of May, 1831.
