Will, VA, Monongalia, Coverdale Cole 1830

In the nome of God Amen.

I, COVERDILL COLE of Monongalia County and State of Virginia, being weak in body
but of sound and perfect mind and memory, Blessed be Almighty God for the same, do
make and publish this my last will and Testament in manner and form following, that
is to say,

FIRST I give and bequeath unto my beloved wife SOPHIA COLE all the plantation
whereon I now live excepting 26 acres which I leave to my daughter ESTHER [COLE]
POYNTER to make out her hundred acres

    Beginning at a Red Oak bounder cornering with JOSEPH COLE and running
    thence with said line to a white oak on DAWSON’s line Corner; thence
    along the said DAWSON’s line to a white oak Corner now fallen down; from
    thence along CALEB HURLEY’s line; thence up a point to two white oak
    bounders, CALEB HURLEY’s and my own; thence across to the beginning.


If there should be to much to make the aforesaid 26 acres the balance must
left out next to the home plantation (the said SOPHIA COLE is to have and to hold
the above mentioned plantation in peace and quietness during her natural life) and
then to be JOSEPH COLE’s to have and to hold peaceable possession him his heirs or
assigns forever). But the said place shall be valued first and the said JOSEPH COLE
shall pay one third of the valuation to my two daughters to be equally divided
between them ELIZABETH [COLE] DAVIS & ESTHER [COLE] POYNTER.

I further give and devise to my eldest son HYNSON COLE his heirs or assigns all
that tract of land whereon HENRY PRIDE now lives and the said HYNSON COLE must pay
CHARLOTTE [COLE] LOLLIS thirty five dollars in trade to be paid in twelve months
after my decease.

And lastly as to all the rest residue an remainder of my personal estate goods and
chattels of what kind and nature so ever I give and bequeath the same to my said
beloved wife SOPHIA COLE and the said SOPHIA COLE must pay my son WILLIAM COLE the
