JOHN TAYLOR had of me (thirteen besides PHILLIS and her child), with their increase be valued and my Son to have as many Negroes allotted to him in value as what his Sister has with their increase, exclusive of the above given to him. I think it but fair that as my Son is older than his Sister and she having Negroes and he none, that she should be charged with the increase of hers as she will derive an equal benefit with the increase of those I have with him, all the rest of my Negroes besides those disposed of and those that are to be alloted to my Son to make him equal with his Sister, are to be equally divided between my two Children, having regard to Families as I would by no means part husbands and wives & their Children.

All the rest and residue of my estate I give to my Son to him his heirs and assigns forever it is my Desire that if my Son should die under age and without being married that my Daughter have all my estate that is devised to him which I give to her and her heirs forever. Also if my Daughter should die without having a Child then All the estate that I now possess or hereafter acquire I give to my Son and to his heirs, my meaning is that if I should have the misfortune to loose my Daughter without having a Child to live that I do not intend to give COLO. TAYLOR any more of my estate than what he has got. It is my desire that if LUCY should die leaving no issue then all the estate that I have devised to her should go to such Issue- In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand & seal this first day of March 1784. I appoint my Son WILLIAM PENN Executor to this my last Will & Testament hereby revoking all others by me made. JOHN PENN This will is written in my own hand. If my Daughter should leave issue and that Issue should possess what I have willed above & should die before being married, it is my desire that my Son-in-law COLO. TAYLOR have what is given to his Child or Children if he be living but if he should be dead then my Son WILLIAM to have the estate thus given the death of such issue. March 1st 1784. J. PENN April 10th 1786 as I have made COLO. TAYLOR sundrie presents I do revoke that clause in my will giving him thirty thousand pounds of Tobacco and desire this to be taken as a Codicil to my will one word in the third line blotted by myself JOHN PENN November Court A.D. 1788 This Will was written in the Testators own hand writing without any attesting witnesses & was duly proved by the oaths of JOSEPH TAYLOR BROMFIELD RIDLEY and RICHARD HENDERSON Esquires and ordered to be Recorded then WILLIAM PENN qualified as Executor to said Will.

| Former resident of Granville County, North Carolina. Heirs: daughters Frances Ridley, Elizabeth Burton,
and Agatha Burton; granddaughters Sarah Ridley, Elizabeth Burton, Francis R. Burton, Polly Ridley, Nancy (*Salenhite), Elizabeth Alexander;
grandsons James Ridley, Robert Ridley, John Henderson, Leonard Henderson; great granddaughter Frances (Francis R. Burton); and great grandson Frank
N. M. Burton. Francis R. Burton is the daughter of James Menes Burton and Elizabeth his wife. Witnesses: Thomas Mitchell and John Petteway.
Executor: great grandson Frank N. M. Burton. Recorded 24 October 1838. Wilson County, Tennessee Wills & Inventories, Book 9 (1837 - 1839), Pages
317-321 (Source #6). (Note: This will was filed in both Granville Co.,NC and Wilson Co.,TN, and judging from the fact that it says "former resident of Granville...", Agnes must have recently moved to TN before she died. * Also, the surname for the granddaughter was likely to have actually said "Satterwhite" rather than "Salenhite" since her daughter, Ann Keeling, was the wife of Thomas Satterwhite.) |
