I lend the use of all my land and plantation to gather with all my stock of horses, hogs, sheep and cattle, househould and kitchen furniture and one negro woman Giny and girl Gin’s Daughter unto DINAH SMITH for and during her natural life, but it is my will and desire that the negroes shall not be carried aught of the County of Camden, nor none of the other property lent her, but for her to sell sufficient for her support.
