If that should be deficient, I desire that my mill and three acres of land whereon the mill stands be sold at usual credit for as much money as will be wanting for the payment of my debts, and the balance to be credit until my son, Sherod, becomes to the age of twenty-one years which will be November the 13th day in the year 1810. The three acres to begin at a Spanish Oak corner tree in the dividing line

Item, My will and desire is that my estate be kept together until my son Sherod becomes of age, at which time there may be a division. If a division should be necessary before, his part to be kept in the hands of the Executors until he does come of age.

Also one bed, bedstead, and furniture, one side-saddle, two pine chests, clothing and etc. which she brought with her, to her and her heirs forever.
Item, I lend to my Beloved Wife, Mildred Nowlin, one hundred and fifteen acres of land beginning on the East side line on the first Branch below the Plantation, crossing the Creek at the mouth of the Branch, hence a straight line to the dividing line between the widow Thompson and myself, including the houses and as much of the Plantation as will be within that boundary, whereon I now live, with the following furniture to wit: one bedstead and furniture, one black walnut desk, one walnut chest, two black walnut tables, one corner cupboard and all furniture belonging thereto, all table and kitchen furniture; also two work horses and gear, two ploughs, a yoke of oxen and cart, four cows and calves, a beef, four ewes, two sows and pigs, six hundredweight of pork, two axes, four hoes, which she is to be peaceably possessed with during her life and widowhood. At her death or marriage to be sold at twelve months credit and the money arriving from the sale thereof to be equally divided among my children hereafter named.
Item, I lend to my Daughter, Elizabeth Devin, a Negro Girl named Hannah and her increase during her natural life, and at her death, my will and desire is that the said Negro increase be equally divided by lot for sale, as may best suit, among the children of my daughter, Elizabeth Devin, which she now has or may hereafter have lawfully
begotten, to them and their heirs forever, which she agreed to take for her part of my estate forever.
Item, I have formerly given to my son, Bryan Ward Nowlin, as much of my estate as he was satisfied with, for her part thereof forever, but as a token of love that I bear him, I will him five pounds Virginia currency to be paid out of money arising from the sale of my stock when sold at the division of any estate.
Item, I will and desire that my eleven Negroes, to wit: Pat and her daughter, Esther with her two children, to wit, Peter and Liza; Phyllis and her five children, Candace, Wheeler, Brancer, Milley and Carter, and Davie with the future increase of the females be divided by equal lot, having them valued separately by lot, as the case may
best suit at the time, between my eleven children: Peyton Nowlin; Lucy Bennett; Sucky Devin; James Nowlin; David Nowlin; Mary Mahan; Richard Wade Nowlin; Caty Berger; Samuel Nowlin; Anne Nowlin and Sherod Nowlin; and their heirs forever, the division to take place as before mentioned. At the division these eleven children must account for what they have or may hereafter receive of my estate before the division to being it equal, to prevent disputing on that day. I will endeavor to estimate what each child has received:
Item, my son, Peyton Nowlin, has received twenty-three pounds, thirteen shilling value. Item, my daughter, Lucy Bennett, has received twenty-three pounds value. Item, my daughter Sucky Devin, has received sixteen pounds value. Item, my son, James Nowlin, has received fifteen pounds value. Item, my son, David Nowlin, has received twelve pounds value. Item, my daughter, Mary Mahan, has received eight pounds value. Item, my daughter, Caty Berger, has received twelve pounds value, not charging her for the Negro that died on her hands, as she was sick when she received her. Item, my son, Richard Wade Nowlin has received four pounds value.
Item, my will and desire is that when the division takes place, that the lower part of my land with the mill, if not sold, be rented from year to year until the whole of the land can be sold which may be in two lots, as may best suit the purchaser or purchasers.
Item, I desire that my father [James Edmund Nowlin, b. 1715]. be kindly treated and continue to have his house and bed and be supported as usual, and should he survive until a division takes place among my children, then to be supported out of the rents of the land before mentioned.
Item, after the death or marriage of my wife, I desire that my land, the residue of all stock, household and kitchen furniture, Plantation utensils lent to my wife be sold and the money arising from the rents of my land after the maintenance of my father.
Item, my will and desire is that at the division of any estate my wife shall have forty barrels of grain with sufficient fodder and forage for her stock until she can raise another crop.
Item, and lastly, I do here constitute, appoint my three sons, James Nowlin, David Nowlin, and Samuel Nowlin, Executors of this my Last Will and Testament, hereby revoking all other form Wills and Testaments by me heretofore made.
IN WITNESS THEREOF, I have set my hand and affixed my seal the Eleventh day of December in the year of 1806. Item, no surety required of my Executors, (signed) Bryan Ward Nowlin (seal)
