In the name of God, Amen.

I AVERY PARHAM of the county of Granville and state of North Carolina being
sick and weak of body but of perfect mind and memory, thanks be to God,
calling unto mind the mortality of the body and knowing that it is appointed
for all men once to die do make and ordain this my last will and testament
that is to say principally and first of all,

I give and recommend my soul to God that gave it and my body I recommend to
the earth to be buried in decent burial at the discretion of my friends and as

life, I give, devise and dispose of the same in the following manner and form.

cow, one chest or box.

I give to my daughter MILLEY PARHAM one feather bed and furniture, one cow,
one chest or box.

I give to my daughter BETTY PARHAM one feather bed and furniture, one cow, one
chest or box.

The rest of my property I give to my loving wife MARY for her to possess as
long as she liveth and after her death the land to be divided between RICHARD
and FREDERICK PARHAM, that is to say I give to my loving wife MARY PARHAM all
and singular my lands, messages, tenements by her freely to be possessed and
enjoyed.

And I do hereby utterly disallow, revoke and disanull all and every other
former testaments, wills, legacies, bequests and executors by me in any ways
before named, willed and bequeathed, ratifying, confirming this and no other
to be my last will and testament.

April in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and six.
