thousand eight hundred and eight being and living in York District, South Carolina,

And first I commend my body to the ground and my soul to God who gave it.

And further I will that all my just debts and funeral expenses be paid.

Further I will and by this my last testament make over all my estate, both real and
personal, lands, cattles of every kind, and household furniture and all other
property whatsoever that I possess unto my beloved wife MARY DUNCAN to hold and
possess without let or molestation to leave it to whom she will at her decease.

And further I do hereby appoint DEMSEY WINUN [WINBORN] & GEORGE DAVIS executor and
