Virginia being sick and weak in body but of sound mind and disposing memory (for
which I thank God) and calling to mind the uncertainty of human life and being
desirous to dispose of all such worldly estate as it has pleased God to bless me
with: I give and bequeath the same in manner following. That is to say:
First} I desire that all my just debts and Funeral expense shall be paid out of
my personal estate so soon after my decease as my executor hereinafter named can
sell and collect enough to pay such debts and funeral expenses.
Second} I give to my sister Catherine Hubble and her heirs for ever all my lands
lying and being in the County of Tazewell in the Poor Valley. I also give and
bequeath to her and her heirs all my personal property of every kind. Also my
Negro girl Anne and her child Manda she the child being free by the will of my
father at the age of twenty one and being the same slaves I purchased of her my
sister Catherine and her husband. I also give to my sister Catherine and her
heirs all the personal property bought from her and her husband.
Thirdly} All the rest of my estate if any both real and personal of what nature
or kind soever if it be not herein before disposed of I give to my sister
Catherine Hubble and her heirs forever. 
And Lastly I do hereby constitute and appoint my friend Harvey George my
executor of this my last will and testament hereby revoking all other or former
Wills or Testaments by me heretofore made. In witness whereof I have hereunto
set my hand and affixed my seal this 19th day of September 1852. Signed sealed
