In the name of God, Amen.  I, Archibald McLean of the County of Cumberland and State of North Carolina, being of sound 
and perfect mind and memory (blessed be God), do this 26th day of August in the year of our Lord one thousand eight 
hundred and twenty, make and publish this, my last Will and Testament in manner following that is to say:
First, I give to my son Alan McLean, one hundred and fifty acres of Land including the Plantation on which I now live. 
Also, five Negros, Viz:  Dorothy, Jack, Sharper, Doll and Jesse. 

To my Son, Hugh McLean, I give one- half of the lands which I own on the North Side of Upper Little River, also three 
Negros, Viz:  Young Joe, Cherry and Sandy.

To my Son Alexander McLean I give all my lands on the South Side of Upper Little River except the Lands already mentioned. 
Also, six Negros, Viz: Old Joe, Stephen, Cealy, Fed, Young George and Mary Ann. 

To my Son Peter McLean I give the other half of the lands on the North Side of Upper Little River and two small pieces of 
Land Lying on the Great Creek and on Stewarts Creek, confiding that he will let his brother Alexander have as many white 
oak trees as he may choose to work up.  Also, Six Negros, Viz: Jacob, Jenny, George, Lucy, Neill and Jean.
