RICHMOND, VA - WILLS AND ESTATES - George Quickly, 30 May 1807
                    --------------¤¤¤¤¤¤--------------

IN THE NAME OF GOD AMEN, I George Quickly of the City of Richmond, being of
sound mind and memory but of bodily infurmity and believing in the mortality
of man, yet while it pleases God, I retain my mental faculties, I make and
ordain this present writing my Last Will and Testament.

I desire that the whole of my personal estate, together with my vessel called
the Schooner Bee, her tackle and apparell, be sold by my Executors herein
after named for cash or on credit at their discretion, and out of the proceeds
of such sale, first my funeral charges be paid, then my just debts and
thereafter the residue, if any, be equally divided among Mary Quickly, my
companion in life (though not legally married) by whom I have a male child
Peter, and my said son Peter Quickly, to them and their heirs, and assigns
forever.

I will and bequeath unto my said son Peter Quickly, my lott, at or adjoining
Rochetts, on the road that leads from the house lately occupied by William
Bryan, now deceased, towards the main road croping Gillier Creek containing 25
feet part or said road and running back for quantity seventy five feet to him
and his heirs forever.

Yet my desire is that the said Mary shall, if she please, reside on the same
and possess the full privaledge thereof untill my son's arrival of lawfull
age. Should my son Peter die, without becoming of lawfull age, or without
lawfull heir of his body, my desire is that the several bequests to him herein
made, descend to my cousin George Poole and Richard Laurell, to them jointly,
their heirs and assigns forever.

I have dependancies, and a right to expect money from the estate of my former
master and deceased friend John Lyne.  My will and desire is that on its being
obtained, that it be equally devided between the said Mary, my recognized
partner in life and my said son Peter to them and their heirs forever.  A
conditioned clause in my said deceased master, and friend's Will grants to me
a life estate in the property and lott I now occupy, with the privaledge at
any future period thereafter to obtain a fee simple therein by the payment of
the original cost.  My desire then is that my Executors, if they can perfect
this end, and my advice to my son is to do the same if possible and I conjure
the Executors of my said deceased master to extend the priviledge to my son.

Lastly, I constitute and appoint my friend Richard Lorall and my cousin George
Poole of Norfolk, Executors of this my Last Will, hereby revoking any other
heretofore made and in imposing on them the trust with a firm belief that duty
will be faithfully discharged, I impose on them a much more sacred one, the
guardianship of my son Peter, now a minor, enjoining on them a strict
attention, to his morals and education, at least as far as my estate will
admit, to have him instructed, in reading, the english language, writing and
arithmatic and thereafter, to have him bound to some good discreet, and honest
mechanic, to learn the mysteries of such trade, as to their judgment may seem
best.  I recommend that my dear son a steady adherance to his studies,
obedience to his master when bound and economy in life avoiding all
intemperance, bad company or any other excep, with industry united to these
principals a better surety of respect and success cannot be presumed, the
attainment of all which may God grant.

IN WITNESS whereof I, the said George Quickly, have hereunto set my hand and
affixed my seal this thirtyeth day of May in the year one thousand eight
hundred and seven.

                                                    his
                                              George  X  Quickly (seal)
