Will, NC, Cumberland, Donald Campbell, 1784 In the name of God, Amen. I DONALD CAMPBELL, late of Scalpay now planter in Cumberland County and in the state of North Carolina, make this my last will and testament.

I give and devise to KATHERINE MCDONALD [CAMPBELL], my lawful and well beloved spouse, all and whole my free estate if in case she is the longest liver (lived) and afterwards to her disposal to grant it to whom she pleases. I also doth give and devise to my daughter BARBARA [CAMPBELL], CHRISTIAN [CAMPBELL], MARGRAT [MARGARET CAMPBELL] and ISOBEL [ISABEL CAMPBELL] and my grand children also JOHN [CAMPBELL] and ALEXANDER [CAMPBELL] natural lawful children to the deceased JOHN CAMPBELL, my son.
