In the name of God Amen, I Daniel King of the county of Prince William and state
of Virginia being sick and weak of body but of sound and disposing mind and
memory do make and ordain this as and for my last will and testament in  manner
and form following ~ viz ~ I give and bequeath to my wife Sally King for and
during her natural life or widowhood all my estate both real and personal with
power if she thinks proper on consultation with and advice of my executors
hereafter names to sell all or any part of my land, stock or household furniture
for the purpose of adding more effectually to hers and my childrens comfort and
situation in life, after the death of my wife I desire that all my personal
property then remaining except negroes be sold and the money arising from such
sale to be equally divided among my children then living or their heirs in the
manner hereafter named, and my negroes be annually hired out and the money
arising from such hire annually distributed by my Excors. among my children, It
is my earnest with that the negroes be treated with humanity, and have the
liberty (as far as it may be deemed proper & prudent by my Executors) of
choosing their masters, or to whom they will be hired; I have heretofore given
to some of my children namely Jane Davis, to the amount of about twenty pounds,
to Daniel King about ten pounds, to Craven King about twelve pounds to Absolem
King about seven pounds, for all of which seems I leave accounts against them
with an intention that the several amounts shall be deducted from their
respective portions of my estate and place all my children on an equal footing,
I have a military claim for lands in the western country which I desire my
executors may use all diligence in obtaining and which if obtained I give devise
and bequeath to my three sons Daniel, Craven & Absolem. It is my wish and desire
that if any my children die leaving a child or children that the money and
property such child should be entitled to from my estate shall remain in the
hands of my Executors for the benefit of such child or children and paid them
respectively as they attain the age of twenty one years or marry, without my
executors being responsible for the Interest thereon- I desire that my debts be
as speedily paid out of the debts due me and the growing crop as possible and if
these should prove insufficient that my Exectuors well such of my personal
property as in their opinoins can best be spared for that purpose, Lastly, I
nominate and appoint my wife Sally Executrise and my sons Daniel and Craven
Executors of this my last will and testament. In Witness whereof I have hereunto
set my hand and seal this 20th day of February, one thousand eight hundred and
fourteen				signed: Daniel King
