Will notes for Christopher PARSONS *
Mar 6, 1760.
I, Christopher Persons of Lunenburg, being sick and weak - After my just worldly debts are paid
To my son William Persons - all my land that lies above the mouth of Butterwood Swamp to John Weatherford's line.
To my son Cristopher Persons - all my land above the mouth of Pole Cat Swamp, on the south side of Butterwood, to John Barksdale's line, running a straight line to my back line.
To my son Major Parsons - 125 acres, beginning at William Price's corner white oak, thence to a corner poplar in a Branch, thence a straight line across a Branch called the Spring branch.
To my wife - the rest of my land, with the plantation whereon I now live, during her life, and after her death, to fall to my son, Thomas Parsons.
To my daughter Agnis Parsons - the best feather bed and furniture I possess, and also that her brothers may render to her 25 £ and a cow and calf out of their parts, if she lives to the age of 16. I also give to Agnis, all her mother's clothes, and a small trunk.
I want my stallion to be sold, in order to raise money to pay for a horse my son John bought of the estate of James Rutherford.
I want the rest of my estate to be equally divided among my 4 sons, and that each son may take his equal part of what there is when he comes of age, and that my executors may divide it among them.
I leave all my children in the care of my eldest son until they come of age, but if he proves deficient, I want my executors may have the care of them if my son William dies, I want my next eldest son to have the care of my children.
Executors - John Barksdale, Robert Weakly, and Maijor Weathereford. Signed - Cristopher Parsons (P his mark). Witnesses - Thomas Paulet, William Parsons (- his mark), John Weathereford (X his mark).
At Nov 4, 1760 Court, the within will of the deceased was presented by John Barksdale and Major Weathereford, 2 of the executors, and the same was proved by the oaths of 2 of the witnesses, and ordered to be recorded. And on the motion of the said executors, certificate is granted them for obtaining a probate of the said will, they giving security, whereupon they, together with John Pittis, their security, entered into their bond, reserving liberty to Robert Weakly, the other executor, to join in the probate if he shall think fit.
