I, John Gipson, of Onslow County, being in sound memory but weak of body and
calling to mind the uncertainty of this world and am willing to settle my
affairs before I go hence and shall no more return and first of all, I give my
soul to God who gave it in certain and sure resurrection at the last day and
my body to be entered (interred?) at the discretion of my executors hereafter
mentioned, and as to my estate that God hath pleased to bestow upon me, I give
and bequeath as follows. And first of all, my will is that all of my just
debts and funeral charges be paid and discharged.
I lend all of my estate to my dear and beloved wife Magdolen Gipson, her
natural life or widowhood, for use of schooling and raising the children at
the discretion of my executors and if married, then I desire that my executors
should sell the children's part and to be equally divided between my three
children, John Gipson & Thomas Gipson & Henry Gipson, to them, their heirs and
assigns forever.

acres of land during her life and after her death, I give and bequeath the
said land to my loving son Henry Gipson.
Item: I give & bequeath to my son Thomas Gipson one hundred acres of land
lying on Whitehurst's Creek pattened by Judithen Gipson to him and his heirs
