In the name of God Amen I GEORGE GRAHAM of the County of
Prince William and State of Virginia being of sound and disposing mind, blessed
be God, do make this my last will and testament, annulling and revoking all
other wills heretofore made by me.
Imprimis. My will and desire is that all my just debts shall be paid.
2ndly I give and bequeath unto my nephew JOHN GRRAHAM HESLOP all my estate for
the following uses and purposes. 3rd I give and confirm unto JAMES
KEMPE all that tract of land lying on occoquan river at Davis’ ford which I
purchased from JOHN BLAND, as by reference to the deed will more fully appear,
and which has never been conveyed to him, my will is that my executor shall
convey the said to him JAMES KEMPE. 4th
I give unto my brother JOHN GRAHAM of Law house in the county of Cumberland,
England one mority of the residue of my real estate in this country, the whole
of which it is my desire shall be sold, on a credit of ones two, three or four
years at the discretion of my executors, and that my brother JOHN’s proportion,
of the nett proceeds – must be remitted to him or his heirs as the payment
shall become due. 5th The
other moiety of my real estate I give to my sister ISABELLE HESLOP and unto my
nephew JOHN GRRAHAM HESLOP equally. 6th
I give my wife SUSANNE one mority of all the country man counterpaines, sheets,
and table cloths, of domestic manufacture a dressing glass and dressing table,
her choice of any bed and bedstead & furniture, in lieu of the one she
brought with her. I also give her the
silver teapot and silver stand for the same.
I add nothing more as my wife is very amply provided for and has no need
of my assistance, but my desire is that she shall have the use and occupancy of
my farm where I now live for one or two years, reckening the time from the
first of January in the year I shall happen to die, that she may get herself
accommodated on her own farm, provided she does not commit waste on the estate,
nor clear any more land, nor cut wood, except for the use of the farm and for
her own firewood for herself and family.
7th I give my sister ISABELLE HESLOP one mority of all my
present estate the other mority I give to my nephew JOHN GRAHAM HESLOP. I constitute and appoint my nephew JOHN
GRAHAM HESLOP whole and sole executor of this my last will and testament given
under my hand and seal this twenty first day of November one thousand eight
hundred and fifteen.
