Will, SC, Greenville, Vardry McBee 1859 State of South Carolina Greenville District Village of Greenville I VARDRY MCBEE of the state district in village of four said make this my will and testament. Item first I will that all my just debts be paid that if my most affectionate wife JANE survived me that she remain and reside and our possession of the house and residence that we know occupy and to be supported out of my estate and to have such servant or servants to wait on her as may be necessary and that she have an of my estate in eighteen months after my death two thousand dollars at her own disposal. My oldest child now living MELINDA I do not think will ever marry and am certain cannot have issue and I think and xxx that she has quite a competency of her own estate for a decent maintenance during her life, but I will that my executors within eighteen months after my death pay over to her $500. I have paid and advanced larger amounts to my son LUTHER, who is deceased, before, and since his death I hereby relinquish those notes and charges I made to him, a title to the land & lot he lived on, and where his widow [SUSAN BRANFORD MCCALL] and children reside, and will him the land, or his children the land, called the Tiger land according to a division line between him and my son PINKNEY's land, and that my executor make titles to his heirs. My daughter [MARTHA ADALINE MCBEE], who is the wife of TENCH CARSON. I will $500 and nothing more, having made larger advances to TENCH CARSON and have notes and charges to a large amount which I hereby relinquish. I will to my son PINKNEY the Tiger land that he has been occupying several years according to dividing line made and now I think by himself, between him and LUTHER, his being the lower end of the Tiger land. I will all the entire balance of my estate I will and bequeath to my three living sons VARDRY MCBEE of North Carolina, WILLIAM PINKNEY MCBEE, and ALEXANDER MCBEE to be equally divided amongst the three taking into consideration and valuation the amounts that I made to VARDRY and PINKNEY and making reasonable and the same time xxx allowances to ALEXANDER for his services & help two me, and nothing was particular given off to him. My opinion of all of them is that they have that kind of equitable and lirual principles that they can make a friend & satisfactory division amongst themselves, but if there should be any differences of opinion not to advise or go to a lawyer but merely, mutually call on some good sensible man to advise & settle the difference. That at my death it is my desire to be buried in a plain, decent, humble, and Christian like manner according avoiding pride or arrogance.
