Imprimis. I give and bequeath unto my Son, Thomas Owsley, one hundred and eight Acres of land where he now lives, to him and his heirs forever. Item. I give and bequeath to my Son, John Owsley, the remainder of the Tract, adjoining to my Son, Thomas, being one Hundred acres, to him and his Heirs forever, the land to be laid out across the Tract. Item. I give and bequeath the Land where I now live to be equally divided between my Son, William Owsley and my Son, Nudigate Owsley, to them and their Heirs forever. Lastly, I give and bequeath all the rest of my estate to be equally Divided between my heirs names, viz:- John, William, Nudigate, Sarah, Points, Ann, Elizabeth, Jane and Welding.
So trust in the mercy of God, through Jesus Christ, to receive my soul. I leave my body to be buried at the Discretion of my loving wife and my Brother Hugh West Whom I leave Executors of this my last Will and Testament.
In witness thereof, I hereunto set my hand and seal this 30th Day of March, 1751.

Test. John Graham, Clerk
From: Owsley Family Historical Society:
"On March 30, 1750, Thomas Owsley wrote his last will and testament. Unlike most of the wills written during this time, his was very brief. He died between March 30, 1750 (incorrectly transcribed as 1751 in Fairfax Co. Wills, A-1, Part 2, p. 468), the date of his will, and July 4, 1750, when his death was noted in relation to a lawsuit (Fairfax Co. Minutes, B, p. 102)."
If someone can provide the details of the lawsuit in which Thomas Owsley, II was mentioned, the exact details of his death date might be better understood.
