This being the last will and testament of JACOB SHETTS, in the name of God, AMEN.

I now find myself very weak in body but in my perfect sense and memory, but calling
to mind that it is once appointed for all flesh to die.

FIRST I give my soul to the Lord from whence it came and my body to my friends to
be buried in a decent manner at the discretion of my executors.

ITEM and one I do give my worldly the goods as the Lord hath pleased as to bestow
on me.

ITEM I give and bequeath to my daughter CEVEL BRYAN “John” one pair of fire dogs
[andirons], and one oval table and table cloth to her and her heirs.

ITEM I give and bequeath to my daughter CATHERINE one cow and calf to her and her
heirs and assigns forever.

ITEM I give to my well beloved wife CEVEL SHETTS one negro boy called WILL and all
my goods not above mentioned. I do give to her that one negro called WILL I do
give to her and her heirs forever and also any house goods & chattles at her
disposal. And I do leave my well beloved wife CEVEL SHETTS and LEWIS BRYAN ??? and
JOHN “Carnot” my lawful executors to this my last will and testament.

Hereunto I have set my hand and affixed my seal this twenty fifth day of September
in the year of our Lord 1751.

JACOB SHETTS

Signed, sealed and delivered in the presents of us:
