============ Henry Rector's Will =======

Family mentioned in Henry Rector's Will which was proven in Fauquier County, Virginia on June 24, 1799: Wife, Son Elijah, and daughter Caty.

Daughter Agnes and sons John, Jacob, and Spencer had already died. He left the 100 acres that his son Spencer lived on to Spencer's children: Edward, John, Henry, Mary Ann, and Pency.

In the name of god, I Henry Rector of the county of Fauquier and State of Virginia being sick in body but of perfect mind and memory make this my last will and testament. My temporal estate I bequeath and dispose of in the following manner:

Imprimis: I give und bequeath unto my beloved wife all that I now possess. My land being one hundred and fifty acres more or less, my horses and cattle, stocks of every kind that I have, all the household furniture and plantation utensils to be her own and at her disposial during life and at her decease to be divided in the following manner:

To my son Elijah I give and bequeath the sum of thirty-five pounds Virginia money, the second choice of feather beds with the furniture belonging thereto, amans Saddle, and the next colt the mare has after the one she is now in foal with, he paying the season for the horses, some plantation utensils such as plows, hoes, axes, wedges, handsaw, and drawing knife, and the saddle he now has. Should he die before his mother this bequest shall be null and void.

To my daughter Caty, I give the sum of twelve pounds, the first choice of feather beds with the furniture belonging thereto, the colt that the mare is now in foot with, a womans saddle, and the loom with the gear belonging thereto. Should she die before her mother, this bequest shall be null and void except for the bed which shall be her daughter Polleys.

These articles mentioned above, in case the said Elijah and Caty do survive their mothers death, shall be theirs free and clear of all incumbrances and shall not exclude them from any equal parts of whatever property shall then remain.

Until which time all my property that I now have shall be my wife's and not subject to a division of any kind. At her death, all that may then remain of the above legacies shall be sold to the highest bidder and an equal division made between all my children then living.

Respecting the hundred acres of land that my son Spencer lived on, in consequence of a promise made to him, I leave it to his children, Edward, John, Henry, Mary, and Pencey to be equally divided between them, on condition that they pay my children one thousand weight crop tobacco which was planted by their father to pay for some land which he bought at fourteen shillings four hundred with interest from eleven years back. And in case they refuse to do so, they forfeit all claim to the land, which shall then be sold with the rest of my property.

I hereby revoke all former bequests and legacies made by me and confirm this to be my last will and testament firm.

In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hands and seal this eighth day of January, one thousand seven hundred and ninety-nine signed, sealed, and declared to be his last will and testament in presence of us:

Henry Rector
