Contributor's Note: This will is in very bad shape. The folds of the paper
have deteriorated to such an extent that very little of it can be read. The
handwriting was not that hard to read, and I have transcribed it as written,
spelling and all. Most of the blanks are where the paper is gone. This will is
in the loose papers of the NC Archives, of which I have a copy.
