The Last Will and Testament of Peter Noland
In the name of God Amen. I, Peter Noland, of the State of North Carolina and County of Wilkes, being weak in body, yet perfect in mind and memory, and call to mind the mortality of my body, knowing that it is appointed for all men to die. I commit my soul to God, my Redeemer, and my body to be buried at the discretion of my Executors hereafter mentioned.
First, my will and desire is that all my lawful debts be paid by my Executors.
Item: I give to my son, Samson, five shillings.
I give also to my daughter, Martha Carroll, five shillings.
I give to my daughter, Delilah Davis, one cow with first calf; also one pewter dish and three plates and one breeding sow and three barrows, year old in August next, one saddle and bridle, three pounds, ....and twelve pound feathers.
I give to my daughter, Sarah Carroll, one red spotted cow and calf and yearling, a steer; also two young sows and eight pigs; also three barrows going on two years old; also one feather bed and bed quilt; one large iron pot.
I give to my grandson, Philip Noland, son of Delilah Davis, fifteen pounds to be paid to him by my Executors and a horse and saddle at his coming to twenty years of age.
I will that my crop of small grain be equally divided between my sons Henry, Moses, and James Carroll, except five bushels to William Davis if he will assist to take care of said grain.
I give to my daughter, Sarah Carroll, one two year old sorrel horse colt.
I give to my son, Henry, one three year heifer with calf; also one dutch oven; also one two gallon pot.
As for the remainder of my estate, I give it all to be equally divided among my three sons: Henry, Pierce and Moses, as they may divide it themselves.
I appoint my son, Pierce, and John Brown my Executors.
I acknowledge this to be my last Will and Testament. Witness my hand and seal this 16th day of April one thousand seven hundred and ninety six (1796).
