HAMMOND MORRIS WILL
In the name of God, Amen. I, Hammond Morris, Sr. of Stokes County and State of North Carolina, being weak of body but sound of mind and memory do this the 7th day of Oct. in the year of our Lord eighteen hundred and ten, make and ordain this to be my last will and testament in manner and form following,
That is to say, Im-primis (In the first place). I will that all my just debts and personal charges be paid by my executor, by a lien to be raised and levied and of my movable estate for that purpose.
Second: Taking into consideration that all my heirs are not indigent circumstances and neither of them in a situation to take my negro boy George, and pay my other heirs their distributive share and bring decision to provide a place for him after my death I have therefore thought to dispose of him in the following manner: that is; I give and bequeath my negro boy George to Isaac Dalton, Esquire, to him and his heirs forever, but, upon promise that he the said Isaac Dalton do and shall pay unto my heirs the following sums, that is:
To my son William fifty-two dollars,
to my son Jesse fifty-four dollars,
to my son Travis nineteen dollars,
to my son Thomas forty-five dollars,
to my daughter Elizabeth forty-five dollars,
to my son John fifty-two dollars,
to my son Hammond forty-five dollars.
To my son Shadrick, twenty-nine dollars.
To my son Presley, thirty-nine dollars.
Said Isaac Dalton, is to take the said negro boy George into his possession immediately after my death and shall pay my heirs the above mentioned sums when by them or their representatives demanded. And the said negro boy George, is to be the property of the said Isaac Dalton and his heirs forever. (Item second and third or the same)
Fourth: I give and bequeath unto my daughter Elizabeth a feather bed and furniture to her and her heirs forever.
Fifth: I give and bequeath unto my son Presley, all my land which I shall be possessed of to him and his heirs forever.
Sixth: I will that the remainder of my personal estate not heretofore bequeathed be sold at public sale, and that the monies arising therefrom together with all my outstanding debts be equally divided among all my heirs, after my just debts and funeral charges are paid.
Seventh: I do hereby nominate, constitute, appoint and ordain Isaac Dalton and Isaac Nelson, Esquire, executor of this my last will and testament, to carry the same into effect. And do hereby denounce and make void all former wills and testaments by me at any time heretofore made, ratifying, confirming, establishing this and no other to be my last will and testament.
In testimony whereof, I the said Hammond Morris have hereunto set my hand and affixed my seal. Day and date above written
