Will, MD, Washington, Samuel Basnett 1789

In the name of God Amen.

I, SAMUEL BASNETT, being of a weak state of body, though sound memory, and taking
into consideration the uncertainty of life and the certainty of death, do ordain
this as my last will and testament viz.

In the first place I recommend my body to the dust to a decent Christian burial and
my soul to God that gave it, nothing doubting, that at the general Resurrection
they show again be united.

And as to my worldly affairs I dispose of them in Manor following, viz.

And the first place it is my will that my funeral charges be paid out of my estate
and then my just debts to be paid and whatsoever shall remain after discharging of
my debts I give and bequeath all my real and personal estate on to my loving wife
SARAH BASNETT with all incomes, emoluments, of every name or nature, whom I
appointment with my oldest son NEHEMIAH BASNETT to see that this, my last will and
testament, is performed according to to the true intent of the same, hereby
disannulling, revoking and totally nullifying all former wills and Testaments, and
ordering this as my sole will and testament, and my wife SARAH BASNETT my
executrix, jointly with my son NEHEMIAH BASNETT, who jointly I appoint with his
mother as an executor.

As witness whereof I have set my hand and seal this 20th day of May 1789.
