Thomas JOYNER (1818-1845), will dated 2 Mar 1845, recorded 17 Mar 1845 

In the name of God Amen I give and bequeath to my sister Mason Jane Joyner and 
to her heirs forever the tract of land and all thereto pertaining given me by 
my Grand Father William Wills dec.d " If she should die without a lawful heir I 
give the said tract of land to my brother Neverson Joyner and to his heirs 
forever.

It is my will and desire that my stock of hogs and crop of the present year 
should go to satisfy a debt which I owe to Mr. William M. Jones of Nansemond 
County Va. It is also my will and desire that this plantation should be rented 
out one year or more to satisfy all my other lawful debts " After all my just 
debts are paid it is my will and desire that this plantation should be rented 
out five years in succession in any way thought proper by my Executor for the 
benefit of my brother Neverson Joyners education " If he should die during these 
five years I give and bequeath the incomes of this plantation to my mother Jane 
Joyner if living if not I give and bequeath them to my niece Mary Jane Beale for 
the five years specified or the remaining part of them if Neverson should have 
drawn a portion.

After my just debts are paid I make this provision my mother Jane Joyner is to 
draw from the plantation two barrels of sound long corn every year as long as 
she lives. I give and bequeath all my other property to Neverson Joyner. 

I appoint my brother Elijah Joyner my Executor. I acknowledge this to be my last 
will and testament 

Given under my hand and seal this third day of February 1845.
