The following is transcribed from a copy of the will of Frederick Fulkerson,
Patrick Co, VA, Will Book 1, pp 11-12, written 2/22/1793 and proved 5/1795 &
6/1795:

Note 1:  Slaves by the names of Vilet and Tom are also mentioned in the will
of Augustine Thomas, husband of Deborah Fulkerson. 
Note 2:  The confusing line about body, mind, and memory was probably meant to 
read "being very sick and weak in health of body but of perfect mind and 
memory."
