In the name of God Amen.

I ALSE BRYAN [ALCE BRYAN], being weak but in perfect sound mind and memory
thanks being given to God and calling to mind that I must once die, first I
recommend my soul into the hand of almighty God who gave it. My will is that
all my just debts should be paid in a convenient time after my decease, and
as touching my worldly estate, I dispose of it in the manner and form as
follows.

ITEM I give unto all my son's one shilling each.

whatever kind except my stock of sheep and feather bed and furniture whereon
I now lie, which I give to my son BENJAMIN BRYAN and his heirs forever. Also
my wearing clothes I give and bequeath to my loving daughter CATHERINE
WOODLEY to her and her heirs forever.

I nominate and pointing my loving son SAMUEL BRYAN to be my true and only
executor, revoking and making utterly void all other wills by me heretofore
made.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and affixed my seal.
