In the name of God, Amen. The 25th day of February one thousand
eight
hundred and five, Robert Ferguson of North Carolina in the county of
Lincoln,
being increased in years and feeble in body yet of perfect mind
and memory for
which I thank God, calling to mind the mortality of my body
that I must shortly
put off the mortality, yet in hope of a glorious
resurection, do make and ordain
this my last Will and Testament first
recommending my soul to God and my body
to the earth to be buried in a
Christian manner at the discretion of my executors.
And as touching such
worldly estate wherewith it hath pleased God to bless me
in this life, I
give, divise, depose of in the following manner and terms:
I
give and bequeath to my beloved wife, Isabel, the plantation I now live
on or
the plantation I may live on last next to my deceased together with
my stock,
plantation tools, and house-hold furniture during her natural
life and after
her decease to decens to her youngest son Moses Barr.
I also give and bequeath
to Margaret Barr fifty dollars.
I also give and bequeath to Robert Pursley, son
of my daughter, Jane,
fifty dollars.
I also give and bequeath to my son, Elias,
fifty dollars.
This $150. to be raised out of my personal property.
I give
and bequeath to my five sons, James, Moses, John, Robert and
Alexander all my
lands in the Tennessee State to be equally divided among
them.
And I do hereby
nominate and appoint my son Alexander and my friend David
Dickey executors of
this my last Will and Testament ratifying and confirming
the same.
Signed,
sealed, published and pronounced and deposed by the said Robert
Ferguson as his
last Will and Testament in the presence of us.
