In the Name of God Amen I JOHN RACKLEY of the Province and County aforesaid
being old and Crazy but of Perfect Sense and memory, thanks be to God, I do
make and ordain this my Last Will and Testament, that is to say first and
principally of all I recommend my soul into the hands of God that gave it me,
and my body to Christian burial at the discretion of my Executors. Nothing
doubting but at the Last day to receive it again by the mighty power of God,
and as touching my worldly goods wherewith it hath pleased God to bless me
with in this state of Life, I give and dispose of the same as followeth viz:

My will and desire is that all my Just debts be first paid.

Item, I Leave to my dear and loving wife for term of Life, this house wherein
I now dwell, with all the furniture and Lands and tenements that ly about it &
after her death.

Item, I give and bequeath to my Grandson HENRY HUNT, the aforesaid house where
I now dwell with all the Lands and Tenements that ly about it, it being all
the Lands that I own at present to him his Heirs and Assigns for ever,--

Item, I give and bequeath to my Loving daughter LETEVIAS RACKLEY, one Cow and
Calf to her and her heirs and assigns for ever,.

Item I give and bequeath to my loving daughter LETETEE WHEELER one Cow and
Calf to her and her heirs and Assigns for ever.

Item I give and bequeath all the rest and residue of my goods and Chattles and
personal Estate to all my Children to be Equally divided among them all whose
names are PASON RACKLEY, MARTH SMITH, SUSANAH HUNT, MILLS RACKLEY, SAUL
RACKLEY, MARY HUNT, LUCRETIA ANTHONY, LETEVIAS RACKLEY, LELETEE WHEELER. And
my desire is that there be no Difference in dividing for if they can not agree
the Executors shall choose two men to divide it and every one shall draw as by
Lott for their part.

And I do constitute and Appoint JAMES HUNT, and PASSEN RACKLEY whole and sole
Executors of this my Last will and Testament, revoking and Dis-annulling all
other Wills & Testaments by me heretofore made and acknowledging this only to
be my Last Will and Testament.
